I’m from Ohio and I live in Indiana, I’ve never heard that expression! We say “running around.” I always have smoked sausage, teriyaki sauce, brown Minute Rice, frozen broccoli and water chestnuts. I can make stir fry on nights I get home from work and want a good, quick meal. My husband loves it! My mom sent me 10 packets of chili powder from Cincinnati! It’s the same brand she’s used since I was a little girl and the only one I use! I’ve already made one pot of chili and it’s not even officially fall yet!

Hi Renee! You can also buy fresh ginger and just stick it in a plastic ziploc bag and freeze it. When you are ready to use it just simply use a grater and grate the amount you need. It works great and lasts a very long time!

I grate or purée before freezing it in a reusable ziploc bag. Spread it as flat and as thin as possible. Once it’s frozen I can break off as much as I need. I do the same with fresh a turmeric root.

All that room for all those spices, your kitchen is a dream! I agree 100% on the vanilla extract, I also love getting a few bottles of it whenever we go to Mexico on vacation. Their vanilla extract is amazing.

I freeze herbs and veggies in ziplocks to use as needed. I won't go through them fast enough and hate to waste anything. So i dice all the veggies, and they are ready to go to add to anything i make 😊

I used to make my own mayonnaise and salad dressings. We lived in the country, it was hard to find things in the little bitty markets, so I found recipes and made my own. I also was not working so had time to experiment with cooking from scratch. Such a difference in quality and taste. Love your videos.

Wooster..shire sauce is how you say it..a county in England...where I live ❤ a great sauce

I do love the under cabinet lighting in kitchen

Staples in my house are Dale's Marinade, Lawry's Season Salt, Montreal Steak Seasoning, Tahitian Double Strength Vanilla, Powdered Buttermilk, Zatarins Red Beans and Rice and Bisquick Mix.

Up North we be "puttering around".! Lol Love our differences! My staples pretty similar , but thank you for sharing some new ones! Very much into your Asian suggested sauces! I have one for you, if you like General Tso chicken! Iron Chef , General Tso sauce and glaze! Might be like your sweet chili sauce, though! So nice talking with you about cooking staples!

Ty Renee. I always have questions on these types of things bc I am CLUELESS. So appreciated.

Randy chooses such considerate gifts 🌟 That salt dish is so pretty and just the thing for someone who loves to cook. So Sweet. I’ll be sure to watch for your pan fried bean recipe Renee. Have a great week 🥰

I use Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm Chili mix, which is sold in the same area. It makes the best chili and you adjust the spices. We make frito pie, chili over brown rice, chili mixed with elbow macaroni, chilli on a salad to make a taco salad, chili with saltines, or chili over grilled beef hot dogs. We usually have small dishes of jalapenos, shredded cheese, green onions, and mustard to add flavor. You purchase the red box and an 8oz. od unsalted or low salt tomato sauce and add to the ground meat. I would never use anything else because of additives or etc. Let me know if you need a box.

I have never heard that term before. Probably because I'm a Canadian. 👍😊 Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊

I make my own vanilla extract. I buy the vanilla beans and I use an inexpensive vodka. I can control the intensity of the flavor by adding as much vanilla bean as I like.

@@diliaortiz1939 oh yes! It all depends on the vanilla beans you use. I use the Madagascar vanilla beans, and if you do it get the Extract Exclusive Grade, it’s really good. I also put it in amber bottles, this helps to keep the extract fresh. If you use clear glass just make sure it is stored in a dark place. Once you have the alcohol and beans in the bottle you store it in a dark spot and gently rotate it every week for at least 6 months before you start using it. I made a lot of the for Christmas a few years back with the instructions and the recipe for my mama’s chocolate meringue pie as gifts. It went over really well. And like a sourdough starter kit, everyone except for one cousin is making their own vanilla extract.

Great tip!!

Here in Idaho, they serve their hamburgers and sandwiches without any condiments on them. We moved here from another state, and we thought that was so weird. We have to ask for condiments to be brought out to the table every time we order a sandwich. I guess that's a thing; eating a dry sandwich. 😂 P.S. Most chain restaurants don't do this, just the mom and pop's.

Hi Renee I agree with you on the broccoli cheddar rice but....my best flavor by them is the Cilantro Lime rice!!! The cilantro rice is always always out. Except at Vons where I live. If it's not rice-a-roni don't buy it. The cilantro rice booted my cheddar broccoli rice to 2nd place runner up. You gave me some great ideas to add to my shopping list Thank you.

This was a great video! And I want to move in with you for all of the good eats you and Randy make! This makes me realize I need to step up my cooking game. I see you use Hellman’s mayo. I always have also but they now use GMO so I just switched to Dukes. Not sure if it tastes the same yet. On a side note, i was sorry to hear your Momma has been sick. I am praying for her.

2 things- soy sauce and soy products disrupt the hormones in your body, so I use coconut aminos instead. It looks and tastes exactly the same and is so much better for you. Second, I once heard someone call Worcestershire sauce “wash-your-sister” sauce and have called it that ever since!😂

Renee I am making my own vanilla extract... it so fuckin easy. Recipe on youTube 😂😂😂❤❤❤

I will be careful with some of those items, especially the barbecue sauce. It has MSG in it.

Just a bit of info from the test kitchen, they say not to waste your money on real vanilla extract the test proves there is no difference in taste in cooking.

If you use so much of the cooking wines why not buy the real thing? Sherry and Marsala are not expensive. I use them often.

It's pronounced wuster sauce, same as the town which is in the shire and the last syllable is only pronounced when speaking of the shire though all are spelled the same. I'm from there. It's confusing true. Drives us crazy that the sauce is so offen pronounced incorrectly!
