Creative Cooking from Pantry Staples | What's for Dinner (and Breakfast and Dessert)
#mennonitecooking #shelfcooking #cookwithme
Here’s what I’ve been cooking lately with basic ingredients from my pantry and fridge. These days it’s harder to get out to the grocery store often, so it takes some creativity to make healthy meals that are still delicious. I hope this video gives you some ideas for meals for your family! Tag me on Instagram if you make any of them @meganfoxunlocked .

I watch when I'm doing my housework or cooking. Any other moms feel more connected when watching other mommas? Sometimes I'll take. Note of something but it's more for entertainment and feeling close to other sahms

Aww what a happy birthday boy! So cute! This gave me some ideas for my son’s first birthday in a couple weeks. Thanks for the recipes!
I Have made the pancakes 3 times since watching your video. My 4 kids eat a whole pan as one breakfast lol. We do a little condensed milk instead of the syrup, they love it.
Everything looks delicious! That little fox cake was adorable! 🦊 Thanks for sharing these ideas. ❤️
Everything looks so delicious! Ty for including the recipes below!
I grew up with the Amish & Mennonite within walking distance in Southern Ohio. While I am not either, I loved their simple ways of life and of course their cooking. We bought lots of baked goods at the farmers market during this time. Thank you for bringing some of this back to me. I recently moved to Kentucky and miss Ohio. You are a gem! Love your videos!
I love your ideas for taking simple ingredients and making them extra special, both with cooking, baking, birthday decorating, and party food. You have shown that a lot of money doesn't have to be spent to make something look fantastic. The food looked scrumptious, and I'm sure everyone loved it. Thanks for the video Megan, was wonderful watching you cook and bake.
Your channel is so inspiring and uplifting! Thank you for being real and honest with us. Your love for your family and your God shines through in these videos without being preachy or condescending. Watching you and Josh live your faith in such a loving and open way is such an inspiration for me. Thank you and God bless!
Loved watching you cook, (that's how I learn) . You have lots of talent...great job! Josh with the cookie was cute. Love it when our men like our cooking.😊 God Bless you and stay safe...
I loved the cooking and Fletchers birthday. I laughed out loud watching his reaction when everyone sung happy birthday to him. Our children truly are blessings !! Thank you for sharing

Loved Fletcher’s birthday cake and party decorations. So cute!
When baking I follow my grandmas advice: cookies always use butter, pie crust always use crisco shortening, cake always use vegetable oil.
Such a cute cake. I had to sing along when you sang Happy Birthday! I just couldn't resist.

When I see your notification, I’m thankful for having a sweet, kind place to spend a few mins! So thank you. We need this right now. ❤️. Ps: your cake decorating skills are beyond amazing!!!

Bahahaaha Josh stealing the cookie dough! Made me smile!

Girl, you are rockin it with the videos. They are so entertaining. Great job giving us recipes (must try the german pancakes with my grandkids- when I can see them again!), giving mom's great advice and loving you family. Blessings.
Megan,you are such an awesome cook,baker,wife and mom!! TFS!! Lisa
So just wanted to say I tried the German pancakes and it was a huge hit with my family... Was a little afraid of the buttermilk syrup but tried it and it was sooooo good. Everyone loved it. I don't see a need to ever buy the store bought stuff again. Thanks for such an amazing recipe that will no doubt become a regular. It's been a few days and I am already craving them again! 😁
Made the cookie recipe you posted! It’s definitely a keeper! Thank you!
Awwww. I remember my babies playing in the Tupperware cabinet. Always kept them busy at my feet :)
Fun video! And the fondant fox you made was adorable! Happy [belated] birthday, Fletcher! Please keep the pantry recipes coming...we're really going to need the inspiration in the coming days! Pray you and your family are all well
When you say Mennonites are supposed to make everything from scratch, it just makes me think of when I was in one of my sewing classes in college. One of my church friends who goes to a Mennonite church with me in my town, told me “I feel like I’m putting Mennonites to shame, since I’m not doing a very good job at sewing” 😂 it’s funny that it is an expectation or stereotype of Mennonites to sew and cook all the time, but it doesn’t matter who you are, a person as a person no matter their faith. Everyone can be busy or not do things how they are “expected” to. Thanks for your videos :)

I hum too and it drives my husband mad too! Loved the cake good enough to sell! Take care all the best.
I had been looking forward to this...thursday came and I am more busy than ever now that I am home all the time entertaining my kids. I had to watch in thirds lol. I finally finished today! Thank you so much for the cooking videos. They inspire me to try new recipes while I am at home so much.
Love the birthday theme! So cute!
oh thank you for your fondant recipe.. my little man has several allergies and can't eat much in terms of cake decoration but now I can really make a beautiful cake for him.. thank you love from the Netherlands♡♡
I have been on a marathon of watching your videos since discovering you!! My new favorite KZreadr! I just love watching your little family! You are about half my age but I have learned so many things from your kitchen tips and cooking. Your kids are precious, you are a good mama! I look forward to seeing so many more awesome videos, Be Blessed!
I only use butter in my cookies but I wanted to share my favorite cookie additions. White chocolate chips, dried blueberries, and dried cranberries. I've heard them called red, white, and blue cookies. Soooo good 😋
Great video! Love it when you share recipes.
Listening to the commercials here today. XOXO to you and yours, so appreciate this channel.
These are my fave pancakes! Im making these this weekend for sure. When i first saw this video i made them 3 times in a week! I love your cooking.
Hey Megan, I am from Lancaster county too and I love your videos! Your comment about mennonites making things from scratch cracked me up... my grandma would be appalled by the way I “cook” using mixes sometimes😂Thanks for sharing your life and these wonderful recipes here on youtube!!
Making the German pancake recipe you shared right now! Hoping my family loves it. Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. I’ve been trying to incorporate more recipes from our German heritage and hope this will be one we all enjoy!
Such a nice surprise to wake up to a a video from megan❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love your videos and these recipes! So glad I found you 🙂
Love you shirt in the intro- "If you can be anything, be kind." I needed to be reminded of that today. Thank you. It brought this verse to mind: Ephesians 4:23. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Wow! This was an amazing video...loved it!!!
Oh man I love your 3 bin sink!!!!!!!!!!
