@lynnkavanagh7361 Год назад

We do a combo of fresh & convenience. My husband does the cooking, so I figure that’s a good trade off. We always have a salad and / or a cooked vegetable with our meal. Our main dish is usually a protein with other ingredients. We have meatloaf, soups, lots of chicken dishes, occasionally a non meat dinner, like homemade Mac & Cheese. When we take a meal to a family member or a friend, the Mac & Cheese is our go to. Great meals Christine!!

@cbolton3590 4 года назад

That's because people have no clue what a serving size is! I was shocked myself to realize how many servings I was eating. We in the US eat way too much! 93lb loss eating healthy foods in proper proportions. Still a long way to go, but I'll get there.

chickpea curry! saute an onion add two cans chickpeas some garlic and a couple of teaspoons curry powder a can of coconut milk let simmer while you make rice. Hit it with some sriricha and garnish with cilantro if you have it. BOOM!

@karenroberton3290 4 года назад

Sounds great. Love curry

@stevengonzalez27 4 года назад

Sarah S If you saute the onions and some garlic with a little oil, then add the dry curry powder and a bit of chillie flakes when half way done. That will bring much flavor in those spices out, keep stirring for a bit, 2 to 3 minutes on low. If it gets a little brown that is just fine. That is how we do it. Now add all wet ingredients as usual. Notice how aromatic and tasty it will be.

@carlajohnson9369 4 года назад

@nicoleshults2866 4 года назад

One of my favorite meals! I like to add ginger, diced tomatoes and chopped spinach too! So good!

@doperagu8471 3 года назад

Yes!! Also if you have fish sauce (and you're not vegetarian or vegan, obviously) it really helps with that umami flavor for the curry. I lovvvvvve me some curry! Especially the kind with the coconut milk ☺️

Greetings from a fellow Texan 👋🏻 Last night I made “what-we-have soup.” 😆 Potatoes, sweet potatoes, venison meatballs, and I dropped in some dumplings. Thank you for the ideas! I so often get in a food rut. I love chorizo too!!

@amandaburger2506 4 года назад

I made "what we have soup" last night too. Mine was chicken thighs, potatoes, celery, carrots, garlic, onions, spinach, peas and corn. I also had blended some oats into oat flour for muffins earlier and had about 1/4 cup left so I threw that in there to thicken it up a bit. It's kind of a cross between a soup and a stew. I got a dinner, leftovers for lunch, and a big container for the deep freeze out of it.

@Ethel007 4 года назад

Amanda Burger that sounds so good!! It was perfect soup weather last night where we live. I’ll have to remember to try spinach in soup some time! I love it with my scrambled eggs in the morning but I’m always looking for more ways to use it before it goes bad lol.

Sarah Hurley I call it stone soup, after the story by the same name. Sometimes at work after thanksgiving meal, we used to all being a veggie and one lady would take the leftover turkey and make soup with everyone’s veggie offerings. It was always delicious! I made a vegetable soup earlier this week just with beef and whatever veggies I had in the freezer, fridge, and pantry. It made a lot and was tasty. I put the rest in the freezer for next week.

Note when I did the 100% whole wheat I had to us 2.25 cups of water. You have to make it extra wet (wetter in appearance than you think it should) because whole wheat takes longer to absorb water. I also used 1.5 tsp of yeast and no extra gluten. Turned out great!

Chocolate chip cookies tip 💖 Make your dough ahead of time, scoop them onto your sheet, freeze them for like an hour, put the frozen balls in a freezer bag and leave in the freezer for about two days minimum and all the flavors meld together perfectly. I quadruple my recipes and freeze cookie dough so I can pull out the perfect amount for dessert whether that's 1 or 24! 💖💖 Also I'm from Gonzales! What part of La is your family from?

@LP-NYc 4 года назад

My quickest favorite meal: Left over roasted chicken (chopped/sliced), warmed in a pan/pot, bag of steamable veggies of your choice (or left over veggies) can of Rotel diced tomatoes of your choice and we add olives (kalamata) . It really stretches and you can really play with it. Takes about half hour to come together. I make it frequently with what ever we have left over. I've substituted other protein as well.
