Cooking in a Construction Zone! + Trying to Use Less Meat | Quarantine Cook
#homecooking #quarantinecooking #cookwithme
So we love meat! But it's expensive, and it's not as plentiful lately. So with that in mind, I've made a video for all of us meat lovers trying to use a little less meat. Recipes are all down below.

My Soup Pot: amzn.to/3f2l4BN
Air Bake Cookie Sheets: amzn.to/2W5tGik
My Mixer: bit.ly/3bQLpk6
BLT Pizza:
Crust or flat bread of your choice
Bacon crumbles, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, mayo
Spread tomato, bacon and cheese on crust. Bake until finished and cheese is melted. Remove from oven, spread with mayo, and press shredded lettuce on top. Enjoy!
Chicken Pot Pie:
2 quarts chicken broth
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup onion
1/2 celery
4 cups potatoes
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
a sprig or two of saffron
Pat of butter, or drizzle of olive oil
Dough ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 egg shell of water
3/4 cup flour (ish)
pinch of salt
Shred carrots. Dice celery, potatoes, onion. Melt a pat of butter in a large saucepan. Saute celery onions, and carrots with garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until softened and fragrant. Add chicken broth, chicken, saffron, and potatoes and simmer on medium low. While potatoes are softening make dough. Crack an egg into a bowl. Take half an egg shell, fill with water and add to bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Have 3/4 c. flour available. Add flour slowly until you create a smooth noodle dough. You may need more or less flour. Roll out thinly. Dough should be smooth, but not sticky. Cut into one inch squares. When potatoes are soft, drop pot pie noodles into soup. Be careful to not drop them all on top of each other. Cook for a few more minutes until doodles are soft. Enjoy!
Tangy Chicken Marinade:
3/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/4 c. lemon juice
1 tbsp. mustard
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c. ketchup
Combine all ingredients. Mix well. Pour over chicken. Marinate 2-3 hours or overnight.
Best Ever Stromboli
1 c. warm water
1 tbsp. yeast
2 tsp sugar
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. oil
Place yeast and sugar in warm water. Stir to incorporate. Let set for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss flour, salt, and garlic powder together. After 10 minutes add the warm water mixture and oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until dough comes together, then knead several times until dough is smooth. Roll out into one large rectangle or two smaller ones. (I did 2 smaller ones in this video.) Fill with meats and cheeses etc. Fold closed and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 375°F until dough is slightly brown. (If you want to freeze I recommend baking just until dough turns from doughy to crusty.) Cut and serve with pizza sauce or marinara. This is one of my all time favorite recipes!
Rice Recipe:
1 3/4 c. chicken or beef broth, or water
1 c. shredded carrots
3/4 c. rice, uncooked
1 tbsp. parsley
1 tbsp minced onion (or 2 tbsp. diced onion)
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. season salt
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
Mix everything together. Bake, covered at 375° for 45-60 minutes, or until rice is tender. Take out of oven and fluff with fork and serve.
(For the original recipe and more homecooked Mennonite style cooking check out this cookbook: www.dutchlandquilts.com/Aroun...
Steak and Veggie Stir Fry:
oil
1 lb. steak cubes
1 bag frozen stir fry veggies (if time, use fresh)
2 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds.
Drizzle a little oil in the pan. Heat pan to medium heat. Drop meat into hot pan to sear outside edges a little. Drizzle with the sugar, soy sauce, onion powder, and pepper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Then turn heat down and cook until cubes are heated through and moisture has cooked off. Steak meat should be soft.
Remove meat from pan. Add veggies and another drizzle of soy sauce. Cook until tender. Return meat to pan and saute just a bit more. Plate it up with some rice and enjoy!

Loved hearing Evonnie saying Italian and that it was her favorite . . .
I am particularly fascinated by the fact you leave the baby by himself at the end of the table and you let him eat by himself. I am so used to seeing moms fawn all over the baby, spoon feeding them, etc., but you leaving him alone like that caught me off guard, and then made me smile. What a great way to teach autonomy

Sally Blatchford lol. Im the same. I think when you fuss over them it makes them more babyish. A friend of mine at playgroup was shocked i left my toddler at the kids table at 1yr old to eat alone. I said he is fine, if he cries i can go to him. He had a great time eating with the other kids
Just in case anybody comes back looking for reviews or anything, the Stromboli recipe has become a favorite family recipe and it’s definitely a favorite for friends we have made it for. We take more of a pizza twist on it, where we fill it with sausage, pepperoni, peppers and onions, and then we use shredded Italian cheese for the inside. And we dip it in marinara sauce. It’s delicious!
I want to say thank you for praying on camera. It’s a wonderful touch that you put in there. You’re planting mustard seeds and don’t even know it. 🖤
Dear Megan, don't worry about the kitchen while you are giving us fabulous cooking videos. We love watching you make meals for your family. You give us such good ideas.
Can't wait to see your kitchen finished. It already looks brighter with just the outside of the cabinets painted white. Thanks for the recipes.
I'm so excited!!! I always love your recepies ! thanks for sharing :)
What an awesome video! Thank you for all the great recipes. Going to try them all! Always love seeing your sweet kiddos too.
Such great meal inspiration! I've added a few of these recipes to my list to try in the coming weeks. Thank you!
This was so fun! Also, your painted cabinets are going to look great! Your kitchen is already so much brighter! It’s going to look lovely when done. 💕
Love watching your vlog over here in New Zealand! Love all your ideas!
Thank you for the recipes! I am definitely going to try them. 😊
I love this video so much!!! All the recipes, all the real life. I love that you left the prayers in too.
Thank you this is exactly what I needed. Love your videos. ❤️
Thanks for all the recipes! I enjoy your recipes video's!! Looks good!! I will try your recipes! 👍😊

Thank you for this video, Megan! I totally loved it and would love more cooking videos. Always looking for new recipes!
Loved all of the recipes! They all look so good!!
Absolutely loved this video. Great recipes. I loved to hear the prayers before meals and super sweet letting your daughter help. You are an amazing wife and mother. Prayers 🙏🙏❤❤😇👍
Great recipes! Thank you for posting!
Amish & Mennonite cookbooks are my favorite. They have such simple & wholesome ingredients that I normally have on hand!
Super excited to make your Stromboli! I’ve never had Stromboli before in Aus - thank you for the recipes Megan!
I love watching your videos. But also love that you include your prayers in them!
Great recipe ideas. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see the kitchen when it's done
Added this video to my favorites so I can find the recipes when I am ready to use them. Love this kind of video. And love seeing the change in your cabinets from the beginning to the end of this video! So uplifting to see the grace before meals led by Josh. Evonnie is becoming quite the cook's helper! And such an advanced eater!! "I got it!" Absolutely precious. Fletcher may definitely be into the equipment aspect of your filming as he gets older!
Everything looks so good. Definitely going to try a few, maybe all. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a blessed day with your precious family. 🙏❤💙❤💙🐕
Such a lovely family! Love those sweet little children! You are very blessed and lucky Megan. Enjoy watching you and appreciate the delicious recipes! Thank you!
Girl, you ROCK! I just love to hear your voice. Adorable kiddos!
Everything looks delicious! Thanks for sharing! 😍
Adorable kiddos! Love your videos! You are so refreshing, Meghan!
I love the recipes and can’t wait to try them, especially the pot pie soup..it touched my heart when Josh leaned down and kissed your hand at the end of Grace. That spoke volumes to me ❤️
Love your cooking videos! The first video I watched you made German pancakes, which was new to me! I love them!!! I do find the non-cooking videos interesting to but the kitchen is my #1 earthly interest so I love love all the ideas! Keep sharing those recipes made from scratch!!
Hi Megan, tried the BLT sandwiches and they were absolutely delicious!! Thanks so much for sharing!☺ Love your videos! May God bless you and your beautiful family!
I just love your cooking videos, thank you for sharing your precious family with us! God bless❤🙏❤
I love that you show your family praying before you eat!
Wow the kitchen already looks so much brighter!! The BLT pizza looks soooo yummy!
Amazing food! Will be making these in the future! Thanks! 💜💜
Love the ideas. Anxious to try them. The salad looks so good. Thanks. Stay safe and take care
Enjoyed this video, Megan! I have been wanting to try a pot pie type soup. Also, have never tried cooking rice in the oven. That looked so good✨ I like hearing your prayers at the table😊 Take good care.
GREAT VIDEO!!! VERY MOTIVATING. THANK YOU FOR THE REAL LIFE MOMENTS!!!!
I love the way you marinated the chicken!!! Gear ideas, thank you!!
Everything looks delicious! I am for sure trying the BLT pizza and the chicken pot pie. Also thank you for the tip on cutting bacon with scissors great idea!
Great video Megan! You've given me some great ideas for sure!🌷🌷🌷
Cant wait to try these recipes! All looked delicious! After dinner we like to play games or take a walk. We are empty nesters. Thanks for your videos. I love them.
Adorable family. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. I’m a mom of college aged young adults and I’m always looking for new recipes. Also my hubby is a firefighter/paramedic and would love that Stromboli recipe! Maybe even for his guys at his station! It’s bulk....😉🦋
Loved this video. Definitely will be trying these recipes. They looked delicious.
Some really great ideas! I have actually never had Stromboli, so I’m excited to try it! Great video, Megan!
Sunday is rolling around once again and the children that live close come for dinner , I love it and was wishing for something new to cook ! You gave me a few wonderful ideas ! I’m leaning towards the Stromboli ❤️
Looks delicious. Excited to try some of these.
Such a good video. I hope your family is staying safe and healthy. Also: I will be praying for your aunt and uncle. I hope the need for milk and other agricultural products goes back up, and their dairy farm can do well.
Great video! I think this was my favorite one from you. Thanks!
Those recipes look really good, Megan! It was fun to see your little helper. She is growing up so much. I guess she's heading to 3 now. Sending blessings to you and your family!]
Evonnie 's making chic fil a. How cute is that!
Thanks for sharing your recipes and tips. Interesting enough, I have a chicken pot pie with a pourable crust in the oven right now! I'll have to try the soup version next time. My favorite way of doing chicken broth is using the kind you scoop out of a jar, a teaspoon to a cup of water. Such a handy thing to have on hand!
Love to see you guys praying!
You have great recipes especially love the Stromboli idea and using up all the different cheeses. Also I learnt you can freeze deli meats!
Thank you for your videos. I always look forward to them! XOXO to you and yours.
We enjoy going for a walk after dinner! All your recipes look delicious!
For a couple of years now I've been adding dishes with legumes especially lentils to my diet as a substitute for meat. They are very hearty and filling and cheap. Chili, stews, soups and casseroles are all ways to use them.
Spring is just arriving in Northern Ontario where we live, we've just had a handful of sunny days so far. While we are isolating at home my teenagers have really learned to play Euchre and so we have been having a nightly round of that after supper every day. My husband and I were losing but now are winning 12-9! lol I enjoy your videos, it's nice to get some inspiration from how others cook with similar ingredients! Thanks Megan! :)
Thank you for the inspiration....it gets boring sticking to the same old meals over and over again! It is still challenging to find meat and cheese and even rice here in Canada at this scary time. These ideas will definitely help me stretch what we have in the freezer and pantry.
I am so impressed watching you make your own noodles/dumplings. My mother's family made noodles, but I never learned how to make them myself.
Cannot wait to try the pot pie soup! We usually take time after dinner to sit outside and talk or do simple gardening chores. Love your videos!
Lots of yummy dishes! Can't wait to try them! I'm going to Aldi's tomorrow for that dressing 😊
Great job. Videography chef education was very exceptional, professional, fun and inspiring. Thank you for sharing all your great ideas. Keep up the great work. Mucho Gracias
Thank you for sharing! I especially want to try the salad with strawberries...I have some in my garden:) but all the other recipes also look sooo good!
Made the BLT on naan bread yesterday, it was delicious!!! Thank you very much for sharing your recipes!😊
Dearest Megan , Each one of your recipes looked Delicious ❣ The stir fry will probably be the one I try first . I love rice & the rice mix looked amazing . . . Pot Pie Soup / Stromboli / BLT Pizza / Strawberry Salad . . . just All then repeat . . . U R an Amazing Cook . . . Love the way Evonnie wants to help . She will no doubt grow up to be a wonderful cook as well . . . & she is so smart . She is fun to watch and listen to with her sweetest little voice . Watching her play with Fletcher on the sun room sofa a few videos ago was the sweetest ever ❣ Love this video so much ... I will use all of there wonderful recipes ❣❣
It's amazing how much effort you put into your videos. I don't seem to have as much time or energy to do the things you do in a day. You're such an inspiration. After supper I normally will take my dog for a bike ride and take my plants from inside my greenhouse to inside my home for the night. I watch youtube to relax and play games on my phone. :)
I'm going to try them all!! Everything looked delicious 😋 I've taken to walking around my neighborhood after dinner and I'm so grateful I get to do that! Thank you for sharing, Megan! God bless you and your beautiful family!

Oh wow! That must make for some long evenings!
I really enjoyed cooking with you. After supper I go to screen in porch and sit in the swing and listen to birds and other evening sounds. Usually with a cup of coffee or tea.
Thank you for all the recipe ideas! Saffron is also very popular in Spain. My mother’s family are from Spain so we grew up eating saffron as well. Admittedly, in a much different way. Your soup reminds me of a version of southern chicken & dumplings. If the broth were thicker, they’d be basically the same meals.
Wow, I soo am going to try your stir-fry, and chicken and dumplings! You are a joy!!!!
Love love this cooking video , easy meals to make yummmeeee ! Evonnie and Fletcher so adroable 😍😍😍
My mouth is watering!! I love making things with yeast!! We also love to ride bike or take walks!!! Love your family!!!
I'm currently in a dinner dilemma. I feel like I fix the same thing all the time. This video came at the right time for me. I'm hoping to try all of the recipes. They all look delicious. Thank you Megan for all you do! I always enjoy watching your videos. I can't wait to see your kitchen reveal. I just love your little family. Stay safe & well. God bless.
BLT pizza was so good!! Thanks for the idea. My husband loved it!
All your recipes looked delicious and your dress you were wearing, when you were making the Stromboli dough, was so pretty. It looked great on you! and Evonnie is the cutest making her chick fil a, saying Italian and always wanting to help you just so sweet.
Thanks for the refreshing recipe ideas! My husband is a vegetarian. Our children and I are not, but I do try to limit our meat to one meal per day, so this video is helpful! Thank you for taking time to make KZread videos! You are so vibrant and inspire me with your content ❤️
I loved everyone of your recipes. They looked very easy. I will try them all. By the way, you do a great job on your videos.
Megan, the recipes are delicious! I can't wait to try them! I loved that rice recipe that you made with the beef stir fry. Wow, I wish I could eat that right now! LOL After dinner, I work on planning and grading since I work as a teacher. We're not going back now, I'm in New York, so sad. Well, love ya! (Thank you for all the great recipes!!!)
These sound so good. I want to try them all!!😊
great recipes! will try some soon.
That BLT pizza looks amazing!! Can’t wait to try it!
I just made the pot pie soup and it was so good!! My first attempt at homemade dumplings, and I loved it!! Thank you!! Trying the BLT pizza this week, and I cannot wait!! Thank you for this video, Megan!!
The whole reason my husband and I started out as vegetarians is because meat is pretty expensive in our country. We preferred to cook less with meat but better quality stuff for our children (who still eat meat) and eat vegetarian ourselves. We have so many delicious meals that don't involve meat and you never miss it in those meals!
I will definatly be trying the BLT pizza and the stir-fry. Love your KZread channel! Thank you!
Love this recipe! Sometimes I mix it up and use Ranch w/Bacon dressing instead of Mayo. Keep em coming girl!
As always thank you for the recipes! Your recipes are always so good ❤️ Italian dressing makes an amazing marinade too by the way... especially on fish believe it or not... I make foil packets with white fish and potatoes with Italian dressing... bake in the oven or on the bbq
I’m also not a big fan of celery chunks so i dice it super small like that because nothing tastes right without it! especially chili! Love the recipes you shared!
Evonnie is adorable. I so much appreciate you showing your meal prayer time. When we visited Hershey years ago we found a great tea room Cafe. The salad dressing was wonderful and the waitress told us that it was poppy seed dressing mixed with a little raspberry vinaigrette. I would make it up in a Mason jar.. so delicious. I like to cook Adame beans and add them to my salad too.. keep them cooked and cold in the fridge.. Thanks for your recipes..I want to try the soup.
Yummy! Now I have some fun new recipes to try. Looks like I’ll be adding the BLT pizza to our Saturday night pizza rotation. We usually eat supper after dark in the summer to take advantage of every minute of daylight, so after supper we get the kids off to bed and tidy up.
Great recipes! Thanks for sharing.
I was so glad to see your chicken pot pie recipe. My husband is originally from Pennsylvania. I’m born and raised Texas. Our pot pie is an actual pie with the crust, chicken, and vegetables. We call your pot pie more of a chicken and dumpling dish. The first time I ever made chicken and dumplings, my husband was very confused when I served him chicken pot pie.
The pizza, soup, and salad recipes all look so incredibly delicious! I'll definitely be trying them, so thank you for sharing. I love that you use Aldi products too, because that's my favorite store. I'm really enjoying your channel, you have a new subscriber! 😊
