    Two years ago I started to chop up (using the same chopper that you have, lol) onions, green and red peppers, celery and carrots and put individually in zip lock bags in my freezer. I usually do 6 or 8 of each: onions and peppers, a large bag of celery and carrots. I will usually do one veggie on a slow afternoon. This way I usually always have chopped veggies on hand and it saves a lot of time!

    Mandy, your family is just a blessing to watch. I'm from the "older generation". Seldom used a recipe, except for baking. I'm from "scratch town". I've loved your recipes! So do my men. One of the hardest parts of ADULTING, is coming up with “what's for dinner tonight?" We've been married for 53 years. That's a LOT of dinners. 2 received a Crock-Pot/slow cooker as a wedding present. Seldom ever used it. I now have a newer addition, and YOU taught me what to do with it. Oh, the time I could have saved when I was still working. Love you all, And your Christian values.

    I make a similar dish like the last one and call it Tex-Mex Cornbread Casserole. Also if you lay a spoon across your pot it should keep your pasta from boiling over, it doesn't necessarily need to be a wooden spoon. I use my silicone spoons and it works well too. I just don't boil my pasta on a high temperature, after the water starts boiling I turn it down to medium. I hope this helps you. Have a blessed weekend! 💕

It helped me use up a couple of opened jars of salsa!! We also like to take a couple of cans of chili (or can use homemade), put in a baking dish, and top it with the Jiffy cornbread, and bake until the chili is heated through, and cornbread topping is baked through. Delicious quick supper!! :-) Thanks for all the great recipe ideas!!

    CORNBREAD PIE👍 This is similar to tamale pie. I make mine with hamburger, onion, Rotel tomatoes, corn and a can of olives topped with cornbread. If you sprinkle a little sugar on top of the cornbread before you bake, it adds a little crunchy top to it BUT it's not overly sweet.

    You are so right about figuring out something different to cook to different. I am 69 years old and have been cooking since I was 10. I had my children way back in 1985 and a987 so I have been cooking for my family for a very long time. now find it so hard to find something good to eat and I've been searching the internet, my many cookbooks and some youtube channels but often those recipes include stuff I don't have or even tried and don't think I would like. Every night has become a huge struggle to find something new to cook. I get tired of always cooking the same old stuff. Since finding your channel you have inspired me to try some of your recipes. They always look so good.

My sister and our families get together every week for Sunday dinner since most of the older people in our family have passed away we decided to make our own tradition just to keep family time alive for our kids. We are always looking for new recipes to keep our Sunday dinners fun and interesting! This looks like a winner!

    "Scrap" meals are sometimes some of the best. But then they can never be replicated. One of the best soups I EVER made was literally made from leftover scraps from vegetable side dishes from 3 days suppers (creamed corn, seasoned green beans, seasoned pintos, roasted carrots, stewed potatoes with lots of butter.....you get the idea) and the au jus remnants from a roast I had frozen a few weeks earlier. There wasn't enough au jus, so I added a large bottle of V8 juice. Of course, salt pepper and other seasonings (sprinkle, taste, sprinkle, taste, so on, so forth....).Made a big pan of cornbread, sat down at the table, husband says, "Oh wow! This is so good! You can make this again!" I just give him the side eye, 🙄"Uh yeah. Oookaay.... if you like it you'd better savor every bite. Not likely to get this 'un again!"😂

    That chicken must have been very juicy to squirt across your table like that , that was too funny. I love how Steven helps in the kitchen and how much he enjoys eating the meals as well. My husband does not like spices, salt and pepper is all he tolerates so I can not get adventures with my cooking , but I enjoy this channel even though most of these meals I could not prepare in my own kitchen. When Steven tastes and comments "those spices" , I can only dream.

    Tip: I buy onions and chop them in the chopper immediately after my trip to the grocery store to reduce waste and then freeze them in freezer bags. I buy peppers, carrots, and celery and do the same. Saves time and $$$$. :)

    I chop extra onions, put them on a Dollar Tree small cookie sheet & spread them out in a single layer, 1 hr later, put them in a zip lock bag & that way I cn get small amount or as much as I want at one time.

  • @jenniferhjelle3909

    When I get a good deal at the end of the season at the farmers market on onions and peppers, I make packs of them. I get small snack bags at Dollar Tree. They have measurements on the bag (up to 1 cup) and I freeze packs ready for onion. Either a mix of onions and peppers, or just plain onion. Works FANTASTIC! I don't have to worry about using it all before they go back and I am saving sooo much money. Of course certain meals you just need a "fresh"/non frozen veg, but otherwise I use them for everything from eggs to soups and hotdish.

    I dice up my onions and freeze them. I live alone and so many onions were going bad on me. So I got a 2 gallon bag, then filled it up with smaller bags of onions. As I need them I get out a bag and throw it on the kitchen floor to break the frost and seperate them.

    Mandy, everything you make it taste so good it looks good on the plate and it looks good while you're cooking.! May I please suggest, leave your stuff in the bag your coating and go ahead season inside the bag and then throw your meat portions in the bag seal the top rolling around till everything's all coded and then proceed to cook. Less waste and clean up is easy throw it away. Love you and your family. God bless you all and have a wonderful weekend.

    If you have Kalamata olives again, make Puttanesca sauce with it. It is a delicious Italian spaghetti sauce. And I'd call the last dish Jiffy Tamale Pie. It is very similar to my mom's tamale pie but hers is all from scratch.

    Genius idea coating the chicen with stuffing mix! While I've been cooiking for years, I still find your recipes *so* helpful. I'm looking forward to trying your brown rice, which is on thhe menu for tomorrow. While I will make it exactly like you do at some point, I want to try adding a can of mushroom soup to replace the beef stock (which may require adding a bit of the beef stock to compensate for the thickness of the mushroom soup). Years ago, I used to make a dish called Onion Mushroom Rice using Lipton Onion Mushroom Rice. However, I live in Canada and I can't get that up here any more. I can get it on Amazon, but it is disgustingly expensive so, your brown rice recipe made me want to try this. Thanks for all the great recipes and the entertainment! 😊😊

    Growing up my best friends Polish Grandma would make many pickled items. My favorite was the green tomatoes! Any time I saw them I asked if I could please have a couple. One day she gifted me with my own jar to take home. My mother wrinkled her nose at the idea, my dad tried them and said he liked Dill better. My brothers were not pickle eaters and I ate the whole jar by myself. I begged my mother to make some but she never would. Now Grandma's pickled pig's feet were a whole different story! Only time I politely declined a offer to stay for dinner Hahaha!

    Ditto what Annie below said. Also, I've found it takes a wee bit longer to come to a boil when oil added at the beginning, so I often wait til put in the pasta. Finally, the best trick I've recently found for keeping it from boiling over is to lay my wooden spoon across the top of the pot, or sometimes when I use my mesh pasta cooking insert in the pot, I just lay the wooden spoon inside the bigger pot, outside the mesh pot. Typically it will not boil over. Adding frozen peas would have been good to too.
