Hi have a wonderful day and stay safe 😷 my grandma was a great cook her meals were better than the restaurants. Her leftovers tasted the same or better next day. And now I can cook as good as her cause she taught me so well from age 5 to adult hood. I still cook some of her favorite foods and remember her. Thanks grandma in heaven 🌹♥️
Yay!! So many lovely people came to hello and let me know you sent them!! Thanks for doing this with me! Can’t wait for our collab again next month. ❤️❤️❤️
I love most leftovers. Especially things like chili, lasagna and sauces. Always better the next day. I also reinvent left overs. Like I make a big bag of beans and season them for corn bread and beans. The next day I turn the left over beans into chili and the third day chili becomes chili 3-way or frito chili pie. Last night I made cheesy rice taco bowls. To night ill take the thick leftovers, add a container of chicken broth and more seasoning and we will have taco soup.
Yes, I eat leftovers all the time. Can't throw good food away. What you call English cucumbers we call telegraph cucumbers here in NZ. We hardly ever peel.them. Just wash and slice! The skins are so thin it's stupid to peel that goodness off. Like potatoes, most of the vitamins and nutrients are just under the skin, so if you peel it off you're losing all the goodness.
I love decorating sugar cookies!!! It is a tradition to make Christmas sugar cookies, then decorate them as a family. We also kind of started decorating Easter cookies last year with my cousin's kids as an activity.
I have gotten in the habit from two years ago to make a meal ahead of time because I didn't have much time at night so it has been working to heat it up so I don't have to make a full meal and wait until it's done. It's just easier to heat it up and it doesn't take very long to get together and it's nice to be quick, but at least it's from scratch and not store bought which I like. I sometimes make a few dishes on Saturday or Friday so the next week has something I already have made and it's so helpful. I am cooking some chicken tenders for tonight, potatoes, and veggies, and fruit. My kids always want fruit with every meal so it's a nice dessert or something sweet they always enjoy it. Thanks for you're channel I enjoy all you share and fun family life everything is going well with us and busy of course. Thanks and keep up the great work and take care!
Yes life is very good and staying busy. I did finally organize my own closet since we have such a small home and three kids my closet has been the junk collector for awhile so I will probably have to clean it up every day or two days so it doesn't have to get so cluttered. My dishes need to be done that way too since I wait till I run out of forks and plates and say oh I guess I need to wash dishes so I will try to wash them in the morning and after supper so they will be washed at least once a day and it won't take too long to get it done. I run my dishwasher once every three days right before I head to bed, but washing them is the hardest part for me. I love to come into the kitchen and my sink is clean though. Otherwise we are doing great and are you guys doing well? You said you had this thing going around? Thanks and take care!
I love leftovers! I make extra so we have enough for lunch the next day! Everyone should do what’s best for their family! Why would we judge! Love your videos!!!! Kim
I portion out leftovers into Tupperware and have lunches for a few days. It also depends on the food, certain meals I don’t like as leftovers. I actually ordered Chinese for dinner tonight and bought some extra to make lunches for this week lol
Yeah the Keurig has to be cleaned all the time or after a while that's why it leaks water and has different things it gets in dirty in there and that causes bacteria
Omg I came over from Brady's channel and you are the first you tuber I've seen than doesn't do leftovers! My husband will not eat a leftover for nothing! So happy to have found someone like us! He had to eat them for days when he was growing up and he swore he wouldn't eat them when he was purchasing his own food so my kids were raised on fresh food everyday and their spouses can't stand that...but oh well maybe we ruined them but it's life! We're empty nester's now and it is hard to cook small meals for two, the kids do come over alot and eat and they really enjoy having momma's cooking! Gonna binge watch your cooking videos! 😊
We’re twins! Leftovers are hard. I feel like I may be ruining my kids in the same way, but it is what it is, right!? Love that your kids do come over though because I can imagine cooking for two is not as easy as big family meals.
Leftovers are great, especially soups/stews seem to taste better the next day. Plus, that's one less meal you have to think about preparing if you have leftovers. I buy most things store brand except I have to have Heinz Ketchup, Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
I drink chamomile or melissa tea before bed. Linden flower tea with a bit of honey is my favorite though. Don't ever drink it before going outside, only before bed because you might catch a cold since it promotes sweating. It's mostly a cold remedy tea but I still like it for the taste. Sea buckthorn is also an option you could try but I am not sure if it's good before bed or not. Also sorry for the very late reply.
Yes love leftovers but I don't just reheat the same thing. If I'm making another dinner I'll do a total new meal. Example would be rotisserie checken with veggies and use the extra chicken ( that i planned for) and make chicken enchiladas. Stuffed peppers make a great next day skillet dinner or soup. Just a couple ideas.
Red zinger is my fave tea before I found it I used to warm up cranberry juice. Not much on valentines day instead ce)ebrate sweetest day I love leftovers. Especially meatloaf leftover turkey and ham for sandwiches chili and soups ie. Cream of potato with chives is Def. Better nx day. Leftovers save money. I used to work with a sales crew. They would order or go out for lunch I would warm up my )eftovers and not spend 12 to $15 , for lunch. They often would want to taste my lunch or offer me a trade. I would lUgh when they were almost broke before payday. Well yeah that lunch money spent adds up.
We do a garden with my MIL and have lots of fresh goodness. Cosmic Crisps are a little too grainy for us-we love Honeycrisp. I do leftovers for my husbands lunches-made lasagna and he gets the rest for his lunches and dinners at work. Lemon Loaf by Tazo is great. Freeze green grapes and add them to your smoothies.
Love frozen grapes and never considered them for the smoothie... good idea! I need to try the Lemon Loaf tea... another person mentioned it as well and it sounds tasty! 😊
I love leftover I person make extra leftovers to freeze for future meals. I also love to reinvent leftover ie pasta with a homemade bolognese sauce becomes a creamy tomato pasta bake, leftover onion gravy from a roast becomes creamy gravy to go over swedish meatballs, leftover rice becomes fried rice, leftover fish becomes fish cakes ect. I love to cook once knowing this meal can be streched out to make several meals. It save me time, money and the fact I'm taking something that more than likely would be thrown out in a week and turning it into a nutritious filling meal for my family.
I meal prep on Sundays and barely have to cook throughout the week! I make everything ahead of time. This week it is - scramble with mushrooms and spinach, couscous with roasted chickpeas zucchini and tomatoes, rice/broccoli/tofu/chickpea/sweet potato bowls, chili and then some other quick things like peanut butter banana toast that takes a few minutes day of. Because I cook it all at once I’m in the kitchen less than two hours and then it is all done for the week!
You can actually can strawberries.. it's wild because the strawberry turns white and juice is red. Also have you tried freeze dried strawberries? Great to add in smoothies
I do not mind leftovers at all and while homeoffice they are essential for me. I want something decent to eat but I do not want to start cooking from scratch during lunchbreak knowing that work is waiting for me to come back. Also looking forward to getting back to the office so I can get lunch from a restaurant.
For us a lot also depends on if it's been a really stormy week and they pulled trucks off the road. We've had those weeks where we had 3 storms in a week and two of those were bad enough they shut down the highways to everyone but emergency vehicles so that happens . But by far it's been pretty well stocked once in a while it happens but usually it's good
I was a cookie baker and decorator for 20 years. The kits are a great way to bring out your inner artist. Sometimes they look like Picasso and sometimes they look like the picture your kid made for the fridge....lol. It doesn't matter so long as memories are made.
Well now that’s my kind of cookie decorating. It’s all about the memories. How fun that you were a baker and decorator. Do you still get to do cookie decorating and baking these days?
@@Thegrocerylady only on certain occasions and holidays. I have a different job now that doesn't leave me too much time to bake. Wonderful video by the way.
What a great haul! We get English cucumbers in Saskatchewan- Costco has 3 for 4$. We also never say ‘grilling out’, it’s barbecue on a propane grill. My husband likes the dill pickle salad, I’m not a fan.
We'll eat leftovers if they are there.. But for certain foods, we are the type that will make extras on purpose so that we have leftovers... Tacos, Chili, Soups... always make enough for two days. If we have leftover roasts, we turn it into a stew the next day.
Also my granddaughter couldn't handle lactose so we have bought quite a bit of different stuff. Those yogurt are pretty good and Breyers makes a lactose free chocolate ice cream
Good Morning.. 1 the tube sock curls amazing . less stress on my head.. 2. Left over depends on what you have leftovers.. Soups Thanksgiving even a great meatloaf. spaghetti to homemade sauce kind .. those are the only things.. 3) have you tryed macadamia milk I have celiac and dairy all my life.. amazing . 4th if you love not so much spice here’s and like soup ideas here’s a great idea. Make a Porkloin roast cook in crockpot pot start at night morning will fall off the bone. 2) 8 oz green chilis 1 med onion chopped 2 cloves garlic 🧄 chopped sauté with butter salt pepper . cut up roasting to chucks put Garlic onion chilis in the roast add 1 can of 8 oz diced tomatoes 1tea spoon of chili 1/2 teaspoon of cumin 1 small can of Enchilada sause 1 family size of Cream of chicken soup . cook to simmer can use for smothered burritos. or dunk with tortillas. or just as a soup with cheese sour cream salsa .. the roast i put in the crock pot with 1 box of chicken broth 1 can of coca-Cola 1 bottle of dark beer 1 envelope of Onion soup mix . salt pepper let cook all night on low heat. the pike falls off the bone .. love watching your videos enjoy your weekend ..
Oh my! Your recipes sound tasty. And I love that you enjoy the tube sock curls. I agree that leftovers from soup, Thanksgiving, and meatloaf are awesome! I have not tried the macadamia nut. I will have to look at that. So sorry that you’ve had to deal with celiac… that’s terrible.☹️
My favorite candy of all time too is Reese’s but the shapes not the miniatures. I had extras from Halloween of the pumpkins and cut them into pieces and made them into cookies. Yum!
I love to garden and can't wait for spring and planting I love making zucchini soup. I cook the zucchini in chicken broth til tender and then put it in the food processor with a block of cream cheese. It's wonderful! Now, if the snow would just melt! lol
Great haul. Not crazy on leftovers but chili and ham and beans better next day! Love thepricest Aldi. Watched Brady and enjoyed so came over here. Had great shopping time.
We have always had, up until a few years ago, both a charcoal and gas grill. We used the gas grill on the wood deck. we had the charcoal grill on the concrete patio. the boys and their friends loved roasted marshmallows and having a "camp fire" they called it. they are now grown and the grill is done. I am thinking of getting a grill instead of a fire pit.
If you freeze fresh strawberries you need to add sugar. Not my favorite as a stand alone, but great to add to mixed fruit smoothies, oatmeal, or baking where you add sugar anyways.
we found sugar would mush and granulate . I would cut them up and put a honey and lemon lightly in then then put them in a air tight container not baggies it tastes better and works amazing ..
I love leftovers! Too tired to cook every single day after work. Wake up at 3 am and get home around 4 pm. So I'm too tired, or too lazy! Haha. I try to cook enough for 2 days. But every family is different, no judgment here! 🙂
Doesn’t sound like you’re lazy at all. Sounds like you’re a hard-working mama and super smart with making enough for leftovers to get you through the tired nights. 😊
My husband's family are all lactose intolerant. Our son however, had problems with milk so we tried lactose free milk (full fat), it did nothing to elevate the problem. We tried 2% milk and haven't had a problem. So he is milk fat intolerant, not lactose intolerant. This week we tried Goat Milk for the first time. It has the same amount of fat as whole milk, but his tummy tolerated it very well. I did put strawberry quik in it for him, because it does have a tangy taste to it if you aren't used to it. But he drank it no problem and didn't have the tummy troubles.
That’s awesome that goat’s milk doesn’t bother his stomach. 2% definitely doesn’t work for my daughter but I’m interested in finding some different options. 😊
I make up two meals and then have those meals ready to reheat and eat. Having meals ready grab and go for work is great too. I also like to have cold meals like chicken salad or hummus with veggies and chips or salad. I love leftover food. I like stash lemon ginger and mango ginger tea.
As far as leftovers it depends what it is. If its homemade soup yes because soup tastes better leftover. Enjoyed the haul. We had ice and it will take a few days to melt. The dill pickle salad is great i buy it for us.
My husband and I do leftovers...me more so than him. It can be difficult cooking for just two. When I make chili, or something like that, I freeze half of it. That way in a few weeks I have a ready to go meal and my husband doesn't feel like he is eating leftovers!! Win Win for me. 😁 Have a safe, fun, warm weekend.
Hi when I was growing up sometimes we ate leftovers. I don't like leftovers either anymore. My favorite tea is Celestial honey vanilla chamomile. It relaxes me and it's herbal. I like to go out to eat on Valentine's Day however I have a low white blood cell count. Staying close to home. Omnicron is crazy here in Central Florida and there is now a variant of the omnicron. Don't know what it's called. The new variety Anyways this year I am making homemade noodles with chicken in them. Mashed potatoes and corn casserole. And I am making homemade Buckeyes so I have some candy for Valentine's Day. And I will be very happy with this. My Mom taught me how to make the homemade noodles and they are out of this world. Enjoyed your grocery haul.
Sorry to hear you have low blood white cell count. So fantastic that you are making a tasty homemade meal for Valentine’s Day. I have always wanted to make my own noodles and I need to just bite the bullet and do it! 😊😊
We grill year round 🤪 we are one of those crazy families out in a snow storm making burgers. We have gas and prefer gas because we buy 2 propane tank refills at a time. I fully planned during this snow storm dinners that could be cooked on the grill incase we lost power 🤣 i also have a double side burner on my grill. Has saved me MANY TIMES in power outages 🤣
Your grill sounds super awesome! I am so all about grilling out even in the winter. Though this year we haven’t done it because we haven’t gone to fill our propane tank. We need to get on that. It’s the best.
I'm surprised that the shelves aren't stocked overnight. In the country I live in (NZ) the supermarket that I go to (I also worked at the same supermarket after school many years ago) gets stocked in an evening/overnight shift. Food is so much more expensive here and the variety you can get would mean that I'd spend most of the day shopping. X
They have on Amazon a silicon material container that has a lid that 6oy can put a small amount of oil in and put your popcorn in and butter flavor put lid on put in the microwave for the time it says . Try A2 milk and see if that helps your little ones tummy.
For popcorn, get some brown paper lunch bags and put about 1/4 cup corn in it. Then fold the top and put it in the microwave. Works just like the microwave packets but with no chemical toppings. Great air popped or add your favorite toppings.
That's why I don't use them I just went to Amazon and got a one pot coffee maker just a regular maker has a little filter you just put the scoops in there and make you a fresh cup of coffee and you're good to go
@Holly Emerson they're so soft and comfortable anytime sams has any pants in that brand i buy them up. Last summer at the end of summer they had 7 jean shorts and i bought 3 of each color! They're my favorite!
Love your channel....I am from the very North of England and love how u show us the products and the sizes in America its insane !!! But the prices are insane compared to here 😕!! I feel like I am shopping with u its my guilty pleasure ! Keep up the good work 👏 x
I've discovered cooking with cream...gosh it's so good 😏 I recently made a cream chicken dish with mushrooms and it makes a creamy gravy and you can put it on rice or mashed potatoes 😛
The strawberry cake roll ice cream is super good! Was suprised actually. The grocery stores near me were never really different except toliet paper for a week. & I guess pasta was hit or miss but it always kind of was in this small town. The walmart pasta sauce is really good was suprised actually. Hit or miss with great value brand.
Hubby uses leftovers in his lunch. For me, depends on what it is. From what I understand, store brands are the main brand just using the store brand name. Possible they could twik it slightly for the store brand. There's only about 8 major food companies in the US but have hundreds of brands under their umbrella. Taste test is a good idea though. I wouldn't mention it...kiddos will let you know if something is different! 😂
Oh you are so right. My kids always let me know if things don’t taste quite right. We’ve had so many goofs with food that I’m slightly hesitant, but we do buy a lot of Meijer store brand items because we’ve tested them out and found them to be good. I’m still new to Walmart store brand items.
My family isn’t big on leftovers but when I went vegetarian/vegan I was fine with leftovers because it was leftover meat that bothered me. I cook for 1 and I’ll make a full recipe that serves 4 and I’ll eat one serving the next day and freeze the rest and single portions.
Loved y'all's Collab...would love to be part of the next one ❤️❤️❤️ we love Aldi pasta...and you are going to enjoy Sam's mini nanna bread...we love it for dipping in sauce, hummus, making pizza. Butter,sugar and cinnamon makes a great small treat
I love leftovers. In fact I do make more so I have leftovers. It is just my husband and I. I try to make enough for at least two days if not 3. So I don't have to cook every single night 😕 We don't eat too much fast food. I never did. I mostly have even when my children were little. I always felt that home cooking was best
I’m totally with you! We don’t eat out much. Simple cooking almost every night around here! How great that leftovers work so well for your family. That’s fantastic!
I do leftovers, but not for lunch. I meal plan to eat the same thing for 2 nights. Gives me one or two nights off from cooking when I do. I actually don't know how people come up with so many meals when cooking every single night. My kids are little though and I'm guessing as they get older it'll be harder to cook enough and I'll have to cook each night.
I'm 100% a left over person, esp with 3 girls ages 5 and under and being a stay at home mom. It helps me stay sane so I'm not cooking 3 meals a day everyday and snacks
Yesterday was Valentines day and we spent it just us had stakes, veggies, potatoes, rice, and fruit. We opened some gifts and watched a love family movie. What did you guys do? Thanks and take care!
I bought Naan Bites here with the "Everything but Bagel" seasoning. Four adults here so they eat it or don't. I was much more careful when they were littles.
Yes we do leftovers for lunch all the time it definitely saves us money
😊😊
Some feft overs are better the next day, especially chili and soup.
@@bobbiesamuels2557 from what I understand some foods get tastier like Chilli the next day.

Yes to leftovers. My 100 ingredient soup. I put all of them in a pot with chicken stock. It's delicious.❤🇨🇦

Oh my! Your recipes sound tasty. And I love that you enjoy the tube sock curls. I agree that leftovers from soup, Thanksgiving, and meatloaf are awesome! I have not tried the macadamia nut. I will have to look at that. So sorry that you’ve had to deal with celiac… that’s terrible.☹️
I watch both of your channels, enjoy them very much.🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for hanging out with both of us!!
My favorite candy of all time too is Reese’s but the shapes not the miniatures. I had extras from Halloween of the pumpkins and cut them into pieces and made them into cookies. Yum!
Yummmmm!!!!
I love to garden and can't wait for spring and planting I love making zucchini soup. I cook the zucchini in chicken broth til tender and then put it in the food processor with a block of cream cheese. It's wonderful! Now, if the snow would just melt! lol
Oooo. I’ve never heard of zucchini soup. Very interesting. 😊
Great haul. Not crazy on leftovers but chili and ham and beans better next day! Love thepricest Aldi. Watched Brady and enjoyed so came over here. Had great shopping time.
Ooo… agree to both chili and ham/beans as leftovers… those I like! ❤️ Thanks so much for stopping by! Welcome!
Yes like leftovers. Like reheating or taking challenge to turn into someting new
The cauliflower sticks are AMAZING!!!!!
😊
We have always had, up until a few years ago, both a charcoal and gas grill. We used the gas grill on the wood deck. we had the charcoal grill on the concrete patio. the boys and their friends loved roasted marshmallows and having a "camp fire" they called it. they are now grown and the grill is done. I am thinking of getting a grill instead of a fire pit.
Oh that’s sweet. We have a fire pit but we really don’t use it. I’d say we’re more a grill folk.
If you freeze fresh strawberries you need to add sugar. Not my favorite as a stand alone, but great to add to mixed fruit smoothies, oatmeal, or baking where you add sugar anyways.
Maybe that’s what I’ve been missing.
we found sugar would mush and granulate . I would cut them up and put a honey and lemon lightly in then then put them in a air tight container not baggies it tastes better and works amazing ..
I love leftovers! Too tired to cook every single day after work. Wake up at 3 am and get home around 4 pm. So I'm too tired, or too lazy! Haha. I try to cook enough for 2 days. But every family is different, no judgment here! 🙂
Doesn’t sound like you’re lazy at all. Sounds like you’re a hard-working mama and super smart with making enough for leftovers to get you through the tired nights. 😊
My husband's family are all lactose intolerant. Our son however, had problems with milk so we tried lactose free milk (full fat), it did nothing to elevate the problem. We tried 2% milk and haven't had a problem. So he is milk fat intolerant, not lactose intolerant. This week we tried Goat Milk for the first time. It has the same amount of fat as whole milk, but his tummy tolerated it very well. I did put strawberry quik in it for him, because it does have a tangy taste to it if you aren't used to it. But he drank it no problem and didn't have the tummy troubles.
That’s awesome that goat’s milk doesn’t bother his stomach. 2% definitely doesn’t work for my daughter but I’m interested in finding some different options. 😊
Omg that dill salad is amazing. Put chopped up chicken in it and wow!
When I was a kid, my granny got us to eat green beans by letting us dip them in applesauce. I know it sounds weird but it’s really good!!
I could see that being good… in a strange way. 😂😊
I make up two meals and then have those meals ready to reheat and eat. Having meals ready grab and go for work is great too. I also like to have cold meals like chicken salad or hummus with veggies and chips or salad. I love leftover food. I like stash lemon ginger and mango ginger tea.
That’s a great way to go! I’ll check out the tea! Thank you 😊😊
As far as leftovers it depends what it is. If its homemade soup yes because soup tastes better leftover. Enjoyed the haul. We had ice and it will take a few days to melt. The dill pickle salad is great i buy it for us.
I agree leftover soup is good!
I love leftovers. Some food is better the second time around. Good for you for not being wasteful. I hate being wasteful😊
😊😊
My husband and I do leftovers...me more so than him. It can be difficult cooking for just two. When I make chili, or something like that, I freeze half of it. That way in a few weeks I have a ready to go meal and my husband doesn't feel like he is eating leftovers!! Win Win for me. 😁
Have a safe, fun, warm weekend.
That’s a brilliant way to save extras. I feel like chili is a good leftover. I would eat that reheated. ❤️😊
I love Brady Browning. I just watched her haul and told her I loved your channel because she mentioned your collaboration.
Fantastic! She’s wonderful!! 😊😊
Hi when I was growing up sometimes we ate leftovers. I don't like leftovers either anymore.
My favorite tea is Celestial honey vanilla chamomile. It relaxes me and it's herbal.
I like to go out to eat on Valentine's Day however I have a low white blood cell count. Staying close to home. Omnicron is crazy here in Central Florida and there is now a variant of the omnicron. Don't know what it's called. The new variety
Anyways this year I am making homemade noodles with chicken in them. Mashed potatoes and corn casserole. And I am making homemade Buckeyes so I have some candy for Valentine's Day. And I will be very happy with this. My Mom taught me how to make the homemade noodles and they are out of this world.
Enjoyed your grocery haul.
Sorry to hear you have low blood white cell count. So fantastic that you are making a tasty homemade meal for Valentine’s Day. I have always wanted to make my own noodles and I need to just bite the bullet and do it! 😊😊
We grill year round 🤪 we are one of those crazy families out in a snow storm making burgers. We have gas and prefer gas because we buy 2 propane tank refills at a time. I fully planned during this snow storm dinners that could be cooked on the grill incase we lost power 🤣 i also have a double side burner on my grill. Has saved me MANY TIMES in power outages 🤣
Your grill sounds super awesome! I am so all about grilling out even in the winter. Though this year we haven’t done it because we haven’t gone to fill our propane tank. We need to get on that. It’s the best.
@Planting Birches yes go fill it there is something about a grilled burger that is not the same as pan fried. Its so good!
I'm surprised that the shelves aren't stocked overnight. In the country I live in (NZ) the supermarket that I go to (I also worked at the same supermarket after school many years ago) gets stocked in an evening/overnight shift. Food is so much more expensive here and the variety you can get would mean that I'd spend most of the day shopping. X
We do have a lot of options in our city, which I’m so thankful for. 😊
@@Thegrocerylady wow this is the second time you have replied to my comment, thank you it shows you care about your subscribers. Xx
Those naan bites with the spinach artichoke dip yassss
Mmmmm!!
@Planting Birches seriously sooo good or i make my owb spinach dip in the crock pot and use the mini naan for that too. Soo good!
Sleepy time extra is really great for night time :)
Thanks Ida!
I'm from Germany and I love to see what you're shopping. 🇩🇪😊
Hallo!! Willkommen!
Yes we love leftovers. My boyfriend is a firefighter/ paramedic so leftovers are quick a d easy to hear and go for him.
For sure!
The Wendy’s frosty cereal is the absolute best
My big white fluffy cat had his leg up in the air in front of me when you started singing around 27:00 😂😂
They have on Amazon a silicon material container that has a lid that 6oy can put a small amount of oil in and put your popcorn in and butter flavor put lid on put in the microwave for the time it says .
Try A2 milk and see if that helps your little ones tummy.
Thank you thank you! I’ll have to look into it.
For popcorn, get some brown paper lunch bags and put about 1/4 cup corn in it. Then fold the top and put it in the microwave. Works just like the microwave packets but with no chemical toppings. Great air popped or add your favorite toppings.
I'm actually going to try that. My sis sent me a TikTok of someone doing that. We got really excited! 😊Glad to know it works for you!
That's why I don't use them I just went to Amazon and got a one pot coffee maker just a regular maker has a little filter you just put the scoops in there and make you a fresh cup of coffee and you're good to go
The 7 brand is awesome i have several shorts and jeans from them. They are so comfortable!
the 7 brand kinda looks a lot like Silvers what I love the soft ..
@Holly Emerson they're so soft and comfortable anytime sams has any pants in that brand i buy them up. Last summer at the end of summer they had 7 jean shorts and i bought 3 of each color! They're my favorite!
Sleepy Time is the best and it works!
Love your channel....I am from the very North of England and love how u show us the products and the sizes in America its insane !!! But the prices are insane compared to here 😕!! I feel like I am shopping with u its my guilty pleasure ! Keep up the good work 👏 x
Awww... you can shop with me any time! 😊
I've discovered cooking with cream...gosh it's so good 😏
I recently made a cream chicken dish with mushrooms and it makes a creamy gravy and you can put it on rice or mashed potatoes 😛
Lemon Zinger tea is my favorite. As well as Earl Grey tea.
Good morning yes we do leftovers the food tastes better the second day especially 🍲 strew to me, Cosmo crisp apples are good. Have a happy day 🌻🙂
Happy Saturday to you!! ❤️
The strawberry cake roll ice cream is super good! Was suprised actually. The grocery stores near me were never really different except toliet paper for a week. & I guess pasta was hit or miss but it always kind of was in this small town. The walmart pasta sauce is really good was suprised actually. Hit or miss with great value brand.
Yes we do left overseas too. My husband will eat most of them . I only like a few things left over.
The romaine , peppers , cucumbers, lemons and even the salad boxes of greens are cheaper at Sam’s (well they are at mine in Michigan)
Hubby uses leftovers in his lunch. For me, depends on what it is. From what I understand, store brands are the main brand just using the store brand name. Possible they could twik it slightly for the store brand. There's only about 8 major food companies in the US but have hundreds of brands under their umbrella. Taste test is a good idea though. I wouldn't mention it...kiddos will let you know if something is different! 😂
Oh you are so right. My kids always let me know if things don’t taste quite right. We’ve had so many goofs with food that I’m slightly hesitant, but we do buy a lot of Meijer store brand items because we’ve tested them out and found them to be good. I’m still new to Walmart store brand items.
Just a heads up, the cosmic crisp apples are the BEST I have ever had. So so yummy!
My family isn’t big on leftovers but when I went vegetarian/vegan I was fine with leftovers because it was leftover meat that bothered me. I cook for 1 and I’ll make a full recipe that serves 4 and I’ll eat one serving the next day and freeze the rest and single portions.
That’s fantastic you can stretch it out for several meals. Wins for you!! 😊😊❤️
I love Celestial Seasoning Madagascar Vanilla tea. It's so good. Sweet without adding anything to it.
With the popcorn kernels try a popper with a bowl lid its a game changer.
What kind is the best?
I use apple sauce in baking brownies. Moist and healthy.
Do you meal plan before going monthly grocery shopping? Or do you wait to meal plan after you see what was available in stores.
Typically I meal plan before I go. I like to “shop” my cabinets and my fridge/freezer first then head to the stores. 😊
Loved y'all's Collab...would love to be part of the next one ❤️❤️❤️ we love Aldi pasta...and you are going to enjoy Sam's mini nanna bread...we love it for dipping in sauce, hummus, making pizza. Butter,sugar and cinnamon makes a great small treat
We’ve been loving the Naan bread. I grew up eating cinnamon sugar toast, so I like you’re idea! I’ll have to give it a try!! ❤️❤️
I love leftovers. In fact I do make more so I have leftovers. It is just my husband and I. I try to make enough for at least two days if not 3. So I don't have to cook every single night 😕 We don't eat too much fast food. I never did. I mostly have even when my children were little. I always felt that home cooking was best
I’m totally with you! We don’t eat out much. Simple cooking almost every night around here! How great that leftovers work so well for your family. That’s fantastic!
Lemon ginger tea is a great night time warmer
Hi, I'm a diabetic I drink half and half it only has a very small amount of lactose. Lactose is simply sugar.
I do leftovers, but not for lunch. I meal plan to eat the same thing for 2 nights. Gives me one or two nights off from cooking when I do. I actually don't know how people come up with so many meals when cooking every single night. My kids are little though and I'm guessing as they get older it'll be harder to cook enough and I'll have to cook each night.
Sounds like you have a fantastic routine with leftovers!! 😊❤️😊
The cauliflower chip things...amazing..the hubby, I and the twelve year old love them...lower carb good snack
I'm 100% a left over person, esp with 3 girls ages 5 and under and being a stay at home mom. It helps me stay sane so I'm not cooking 3 meals a day everyday and snacks
When your weather warms up; stick the green onion roots in a pot of dirt. They re grow.
I totally need to do that!
NO LEFTOVERS! I also don't like tea, but...Tension Tamer is good. I also like "Throat Coat" - even when I'm not sick. Try them!
My daughter (21) loves the Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime line… ❤️❤️
Thank you!! I’ll check it out!
The great value brand of Jasmine rice is amazing
Oh good! I hope it works out.
Yesterday was Valentines day and we spent it just us had stakes, veggies, potatoes, rice, and fruit. We opened some gifts and watched a love family movie. What did you guys do? Thanks and take care!
Awww. Sweet! Love that special time with family and a tasty dinner. 😊
When you buy the plastic salad containers put paper towel in it n turn it upside down lasts longer
🥗😊
I bought Naan Bites here with the "Everything but Bagel" seasoning. Four adults here so they eat it or don't. I was much more careful when they were littles.
Most of the kids have actually enjoyed them, though not the ones I was hoping would like it. 🤷🏼♀️
If you can find it colavita pasta is absolutely delicious. .also it's usually .88c for a pound...Newman's best sweet cinnamon..no sugar added
I’ll check it out! Thank you. ❤️❤️
Sleepy time tea is the best
