Food Lion had a 5 lb bag of russet potatoes last week for $1.99 and they were GIANT!! I actually weighed my bag and it was 10 lbs!! Always weigh the bags! Sometimes they’re more and sometimes they’re less than what it’s supposed to be!! I got that tip from Frugal Fit Mom!! I love your videos!!! I’ve gotten so many great recipes from you❤❤
For my brown sugar, it comes in a plastic bag. I started leaving it in the bag and then putting the bag in a plastic lock-n-lock style container. I understand wanted to keep things in glass, but sometimes plastic keeps the moisture in better. A heel of bread also works and I used to have this thing called a brown sugar bear that I kept in the it. It looked like it was made of terracotta, but not sure if that’s correct. No idea where it is now lol After 3 moves, it disappeared.
How appropriate I find a new video of yours to watch while I am making grilled cheese with peppers inspired by you and our over abundance of end of garden peppers. 😄
Baked potatoes ...yum. If you wrap them in tinfoil and put them in the crockpot all day....easy and soft. Put about 2 inches on the bottom of the crockpot.
I like your idea about prepping that first day to set up for success!! I'm doing most of mine on Saturday and Sunday. I have lots of potatoes, too. Thanks for your sharing.
Yes!! I find that if I just tough it out and get it done that day, I follow through the rest of the week 😄 I especially LOVE not having to chop as much throughout the week haha
I wish I lived closer to an Aldi. The tofu at my local store is almost $4 on sale!! Really enjoying this video! Edited to add: OH MY GOSH, I just saw your dog - how completely adorable!!! ♥♥
I grew up having potato patties kinda like salmon patties. My mom would use leftover mashed potatoes add an egg for the binder. Currently I can’t remember what else went into them. She’d coat them in flour and then fried them.
Yes!! That sounds so delicious!! My picky son even eats the crispy skin 😋 This is the only way I make baked potatoes now. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
@@LauraLegge i do bake my potatoes that way...i was talking about the ritz potatoes...those look yummy and something my hubby would even like..I've never seen potatoes done like that...love it. EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD 👍 😋
I make the Croquettes with leftover chicken that I was up in the food processor mix it with that and I roll it in bread crumbs and I find if I refrigerate them for a bit they cook up easier and that apples would be good with yogurt they be good on pancakes or throw a pie crust over there and make apple tarte tatin
@@LauraLegge I also take a can of cream of mushroom soup and sour cream dill weed and garlic heated up and pour it over the croquettes and I can call it my mushroom garlic dill sauce
egg salad much better if made the same day you boiled eggs- the flavours absorb better when combined with warm eggs - grated onion and dried mustard with home cooked salad dressing (can’t eat mayo) with fresh chives or green onion tops (though my container garden winding down for 2024 so no greens until spring) - make my devilled eggs and potato salad same - find these all much more flavourful when combined as cooked 🇨🇦🙏
