The more I watch this, the more I realize Jayna and I lost twins! 😂 Her outlook, her preference for cooking vs baking “because it just doesn’t work”, they way she talks about her boys and her thoughts on raising them. I am glad that you two are similar enough to do this, but different enough to make it divisive 😂

My new thing is buying two large packages of chicken breasts and marinating them in 3 different bags- one Mexican marinade, 1 Asian marinade, and 1 American marinade. The next day we grill them all up and then freeze them. Then I can take a cooked breast out and make a rice bowl, stir fry, tacos, chicken salad etc.

Leftover soup tip: Get a Souper Cube tray. It's like an ice cube tray but with bigger compartments. Each compartment holds a serving of soup. Then you pop out a cube when you want soup.

I heard a speaker say one time to stock your pantry in a way that if guests showed for dinner unexpectedly, you would have enough items to prepare a meal at the last minute. I’ve lived by this idea for years now and it’s actually really beneficial when I need to come up with something quick.

If you bake your whole bag of potatoes at once they make great stove top hash browns left over the next day! You can even dice the leftovers and flash freeze them and store them in a Ziploc for homemade frozen hash browns. No potatoes going bad or going to waste 🙂

I can’t wait to watch this later!!! I’m just heading home from a massive grocery and pantry stock up - so this video will be perfect!!

My potatoes use to always go bad SO quick. So I started keeping them in the fridge and that was such a game changer!!

Jayna's cooking is right up my alley! Please post on honey I'm homemaker

Megan I sympathize with your chili story. I had the same experience. When my husband and I got married Visions Cookware (it was colored glass cookware) was all the rage and I got a set for a wedding gift. I loved it. I tried making cornbread in it just a month or two into our marriage because he loved cornbread and milk. He tried it and said “you should call my Momma and have her teach you how to make cornbread”! 😠😥 I was mad and actually hurt. I told him he could just go get his Momma to make it then. 🤨That was 31.5 years ago. I’ve still never made cornbread again. Turns out it was because she cooked hers in a cast iron skillet and it had a totally different texture than the glass bakeware. We do laugh about it now but I still don’t cook it even in a cast iron skillet.😂

Yes! Right in time to watch while I wash dishes!

I am exactly like Jayna when it comes to cooking. I just make it up as I go. I have at least 30 Cook books, they are for inspiration....looking at the pictures or change out ingredients. I hate cooking with the phone, cause my fingers are messy, the phone screen locks and I have to unlock it with my messy paws 😊 I have a summer salad that I am often asked to bring. Only a hand full of ingredients. 3 fresh beetroot, 2 crispy apples, 1 good size onion...dice all of it, add sour cream, a teaspoon of horseraddish, pepper and salt. Done. Super crunchy and refreshing salad

Quick tip if you can't use potatoes fast enough. Try canned potatoes! The texture isn't great to just heat and eat, but drying them off and frying them or rinsing them and using them in a soup/crock pot recipe is an awesome shortcut!

About cooking for children's dietary restrictions, my niece and her husband are gluten-free and my nephew is dairy-free. I made a gluten-free dairy-free banana cream pie for a family function using non-dairy milk, non-dairy whipped topping and an almond flour crust. Just as we were cutting into the pie, my nephews new girlfriend announced that she is allergic to nuts. LOL. I told them they'd get "air pie" next time.

Hey Megan & Jayna - Linda here from WAY DOWN UNDER in Melbourne, Australia! I love watching & listening to you guys & although I’m not religious in any way, I absolutely relate to so much of what you do & say. I’m at the other end of family life, a retired schoolteacher with a husband & two gorgeous kids (well, adults of 29 & 26) but my daily life is still pretty much spent in & around the home. I love seeing what you get up to on any ‘homemaking platform’ & also watch your vlogs Megan. Many thanks for sharing your life with us ❤

Always love these!

I really enjoyed this episode !! Thanks ladies !

You two are so fun to watch! Thanks for all the ideas. I can relate to Megan on measuring and cooking in a structured way. It just scares me to think what would happen if I tried to cook without my cookbooks (that I have compiled over 17 years of married life)! Hope's Table is an awesome cookbook for sure- it stays out all the time. I make the chocolate chip cookies EVERY single week because my husband (and kiddos) love them so much. The grilled mushrooms and citrus shrimp kabobs are some of our favorites as well.

I don't use taco seasoning. I use seasoned salt, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salsa. That way I can alter the amounts to what my family likes. We really like it.

My husband is a very messy cook like Jayna.However, I greatly appreciate that he enjoys cooking and does the cooking about half the time. So I happily clean up after his messes. I am a clean up as I go cook as this is how my Mom taught me. When Megan said cook until your ready to stir with your other arm - it immediately took me to my first time making arborrio rice - you keep adding in liquid & stir til it is used up then add again & on & on and your arm does get so tired but it must be constantly stirred.

Cannot get enough of this podcast, you ladies are such a blessing!

Really enjoying this series!!! TFS ❤

I love cooking and baking! ❤I work at a local bakery nights and it's like therapy for me. One way of not getting in a rut with cooking is cooking seasonally. We were on a 8 day vacation and my family was so excited to come home to home cooking again 😋 😅

There are a few things you talked about that are exactly how it is a my house! My kids say my food is disgusting when I am excited about something I made that I think is delicious. I use all the scrapers when I’m cooking. Rice is so much easier to clean up after it drys. My husband detests dirty floors. Oh, and as far as taco seasoning, I looked up a recipe for fajita seasoning and I make a bunch at once and just keep it in a jar. It’s so so much better than the store bought stuff. We could totally be friends!

This is my favorite vlog that you've done so far! Very entertaining lol! I like to make casseroles and then have leftovers or freeze it. Hubby grills a lot and then we have fresh vegies from our garden.

I support your quart jars of soup in the fridge idea. I’ve done similarly in the past and feel that as long as it’s in the fridge, it should be good! We have a bunch of zucchini and peppers from our garden, so we’ve been stuffing our zucchini either with spinach and artichoke dip and topped with bacon or a creamy tomato sauce with sausage in it topped with cheese. The peppers are usually grilled or turned into poppers! :)

I really enjoyed this video you two are a lot of fun. Thank you for the lotion tip gonna try it really need it lol. I'm a dumper to but I love to cook and my son in law loves it.

Yes I love the seasonal foods too! mom cooked out of the garden all summer and that’s how I raised my family and a meat on the grill. But now that it’s just the 2 of us it’s almost not worth getting out the grill. So I’ll do turkey salad or a couple burgers or sausages. There’s just nothing like garden goodies. Your chats are fun and Megan’s dress looked very nice this time(I know you’d talked about what you should wear for these sit downs.)

I call recipes that I make up a "stir-em-up" - my family enjoys them! I can get close to making them again, but probably a bit different! I use russet frozen potatoes so no more worrying about potatoes gone bad, nor having to peel/boil, etc. We use them straight from the bag and put on butter, sour cream, bacon bits, etc. and it's yummy and easy! (we still like baked potatoes though) These frozen potatoes are great for potato soup!! We grill alot too in the summer! So good and it doesn't heat up the house!! Enjoy your show - God bless you and yours!

I’m the same as Jayna with the baking 😂 sometimes I don’t know why a dessert doesn’t work out then I’ll say to my husband “well I didn’t really follow the recipe” 😂

Love these stories and the amazing advice and ideas! I was reminded of 2 funny things during this video....my Mennonite friend made Reese's Pieces Squares for a youth event with several other churches, a young man loved them, found out who made them, and married her eventually! We always joke that he loved her for her baking skills first 😅. The other thing was when Jayna said her kids are hard on her cooking, my brother sat down when we were kids one night, looked at the meal, and asked, "What is this material?" 😂 My poor mom 🤪

Easiest chili ever: Ground beef or chorizo (depending on spice preference), canned bean blend, and chunky salsa. You can jazz it up from there, but it's so easy to throw in a slow cooker in the morning to eat at dinner. So yeah, I definitely cook more like Jayna 😆 (no measuring)

My moms dish for lunch/dinner as a kid… I do all summer for myself and the kids (hubby doesn’t like it) Fresh squash and/or zucchini, onions, peppers, potatos, and either beef or kielbasa .. fried together in a skillet.. with salt, pepper, oregano and sugar… soooo good!!!

Baked Potato Casserole I suppose I developed this recipe, though I’m sure someone else has thought of it sometime somewhere - a baked potato bar in casserole form. 4-6 baking potatoes, skin on - washed and cubed Lawry’s seasoned salt Ranch dressing and/or sour cream 1 lb. browned & seasoned ground beef or prepared steak tips Taco seasoning (if using ground beef) or A1 sauce (if using steak) kidney beans (if using ground beef; opt.) 1 onion (diced and browned with beef or layer raw; personal preference) ½ - 2 c. steamed broccoli - fresh or frozen, to taste ½ - 1 c. freshly grated* mild or medium cheddar cheese - to taste Whatever else you would put on a baked potato (butter, salsa, chives, etc.) Parboil potatoes until nearly soft - do not overcook. Drain and toss with seasoned salt (approx. 1 tsp. - I just “eyeball it”). Alternatively, could roast potatoes for that baked potato flavor instead of boiling, if time allows. If you do roast, butter and season potatoes before roasting. For this dish, I would go ahead and cube them before roasting. Spread prepared potatoes in a greased casserole dish and drizzle with ranch dressing mixed with sour cream, ranch dressing alone, or sour cream only. If you have chip dip that needs to be used up, now is your chance. This is a completely versatile recipe - make to suit your preferences. Layer prepared taco seasoned browned beef or prepared steak tips. Can drizzle A1 sauce if using steak. If using salsa, add that now or with the ranch. Layer prepared broccoli and cheese. (*Did you know that freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded from the store? Yup, the pre-grated stuff basically has sawdust on it to keep from clumping - ingredient “cellulose”.) Could garnish with chives. To me, the appeal of this method is better mixing of the flavors than actual baked potatoes and less fuss at the onset of the meal.

Great idea to make whipped cream and then freeze it! I don’t care for taco seasoning either. I’ve concluded it’s either some filler ingredient or the chili powder in it that I don’t like. When I make taco meat I add onion and garlic powder, cumin, and just a little tomato sauce and it’s way better! Wow you make me feel better about my twice a week grocery trips😂

Megan - I find chicken cheap at Sams- and I portion them into individual meal size bags and freeze them. Sams has the best prices imo!

Great espresso recipe! Thanks Megan!

It’s nice to know that the way I do things in the kitchen is not all that dissimilar to you gals. I’m like you Megan, I much prefer to do my own grocery shopping. I don’t think it takes any longer to go in person than it does to prepare the online order. I print out the recipes online when I want to try something new. If I like the recipe that gets added to my recipe folder of tried and tested favourites. I’ve also played around with my the day that I shop. It used to be a Saturday morning then I switched it to a Friday and then a Thursday and now a Wednesday. Midweek seems to be working well where I have more energy than later on in the week and the supermarket seems to be a lot less busy.

Food allergies are so stressful. I have a different one than one of my kids, I have 4 kiddos. I do have specific meals that work but if we want something with pasta or bread or dessert, it's complicated. I love your videos! Especially this one talking about cooking.

I use 2 cans of tuna, 1 can of Cream of Celery soup, one half can of milk, half bag of sharp shredded cheese ( large) and egg noodles. I top it with the remainder half bag of the shredded cheese. I bake it at 350 until the cheese is melted on top. Everyone loves it. Some people also put peas in it. I usually have broccoli and butter bread with it. Easy clean up.

Megan…try seasoning your meat on taco night with what you would like. Keep it simple. No taco seasoning!! I do this frequently and I’m able to use leftover meat for something else the next night and it’s not an overwhelming flavor for tacos/nachos. We add our favorite salsa for the extra “flavor”
