THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME!!!! After cooking dinners for 58 years it gets boring. This was a great take on switching it up without frustration. Thank you!!!!
in the north of france (I'm in the south) they make a "carbonade flamande" it's a kind of beef stew, with beer, and slice of spicde bread with mustard on, delicious
Kimmy this video was full of great ideas. My challenge is that I am so used to preparing food for a family of 9. I am now preparing food for just two. Until the last 4 months I would be able to use a portion of dinner for my lunch. Now that I am retired there are usually always leftovers. Any ideas as I do not always want to have leftovers especially if I am creating a menu for the week. My goal in January and February is to use what I have in my freezer and pantry and not go to the store.
Thank you so much Kimmy, cause I was there with not coming nothing and not eating cause I was tired of the same thing and now you have some new ideas and I'm going to plan new meal.❤
Your tip on sheet pan breakfasts for eggs pancakes is awesome! We enjoy pancakes but don’t have them often because of the time. This is a great tip for time saving and meals. I see yummy pancakes in my future. Thanks for sharing tips on twists for ingredients
I haven't made taco salad in a couple years! I just might make it this weekend. I make my own dressing to go over it though. Thank you for all the great ideas! God bless you!
My mom always made Taco Casserole and I do it now too, my son and husband love it. Doritos crushed in the bottom of a 9x13 pan topped with taco meat mixed with corn and beans, like black or pinto, topped with cheese. Bake it at 350 for about 20-25 minutes then top with a salad mix of your choice. YUM!
Kimmy! Hitting the new year strong with a fantastic video and so many good ideas! I loved all the themed nights and the idea of if you like something, try cooking it in another way to make it exciting. My goal in 2024 is to have a low spend month for January and a big part of that is cooking at home! I can't wait to try some of these ideas with my family.
We do meatball Monday. Only about once a month. Throw a bag of frozen meatballs in the crockpot on low at 2 pm with a jar of marinara sauce and by 5 dinner is ready.
Super great video. You rule when it comes to Cooking Swap/Change Ups, and keeping the menu not only varied and tasty but interesting and family approved.
Great ideas & tips. I especially admire you for coming up with so many meal ideas. I’ve always been a very fussy eater & only like things like fish fingers & shepherds pie etc. I hate anything spicy. A popular takeaway in the UK is fish & chips, often with mushy peas. Jacket potatoes are a great meal option, especially when you top them with cheese & baked beans.
I love this video. I cook 5-6 days a week. I love switching things up, making “round two recipes”, and making different flavors of foods (Mexican, Vietnamese, Italian , etc). I also love making make ahead meals whether that be freezer meals cooked from raw or things already cooked and in the freezer like cooked ground meat, breakfast burritos etc. I do love to cook…but I do get that burned out feeling sometimes and this gave me some really good ideas and motivation! Thanks so much
I want you to know how much I love your personality, your encouragement, but most of all I feel you have a kind and caring heart. I loved your ideas of switching it up today. I’m also glad to see you back making great videos. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤
When my kids were little we had make your own pizza on tortillas for their birthday parties. The kids were so excited to make them themselves. Cool mom points with that one!
Monday is crockpot night Tuesday is freezer meal night Wednesday is leftover night Thursday my husband grills Friday is sandwich night Saturday and Sunday are traditional meals. Leftovers for lunches.
I'm an OG follower, and this is my favorite video! Taking everything you've been teaching us about shopping and prepping, and taking it all up several levels. Thank you!
I really loved this video Kimmy! I've been cooking meals for my family for over 26 years now. You would think I would have endless ideas, but sometimes I do find myself stuck in a rut. This was so helpful!❤❤
Wowww‼️ You have some really Great ideas here. Thank You Soo Much! cause it does after awhile get to be blah w/ the same ole same ole. You have my mind racing already for tomorrow. I Appreciate You! Your Awesome💯💞
Super funny about having beer in the pantry for just stew! We aren’t drinkers either but I would enjoy using beer and/or dry white wine to cook delicious meals.
I like a good beer butt chicken. Put half a can of beer and half barbecue sauce in a can and then put the chicken on top of the can. Cover the chicken with foil the last 15-30 minutes remove the foil and let the outside of the chicken brown up.
I also save my juices from my roast and use it for my beef stew. If I am not making a stew right away I put the juice in the freezer to use when I do make stew.
We had a tiny bit of salsa, hamburger, a new jar of marinara, frozen onion and colored peppers, small tomatoes as perishables in frig so we used them to make spahetti. Threw in some garlic powder, celery seed, basil, in with spahetti and it was so good. Trying to use up perishable food first each supper. We been only used a third of a jar of marinara from Aldi. It was so good. Trying to get into the habit of using ip perishables instead of freezing them to eat later.
