My 14 yr old son is in the room as I'm watching this video. Your plea about bacon grease is spot on. My 14 yr old son just said, "Bacon grease is liquid gold. It probably has healing capabilities, too. Might even cure cancer." 🤣🤣 I don't recommend taking medical advise from a 14 yr old boy, but I DO recommend keeping a jar of bacon grease in your refrigerator!!

@marciafernandes3460 Год назад

I can’t use that salt 🧂 I had to switch too Himalayas, I roasted brussels sprouts I came across your channel when I was struggling simple recipes, I am on the way love journey be 500 pounds I’m down to 300 pounds your videos have helped me a lot I learned put meal together that Taste pretty good.thank you

@carolinerobertson18 Год назад

Way to go🎉

@KaitlynChristineee Год назад

My favorite brussel sprout recipes: slice them up REAL thin (watch your fingers), coat with oil, salt, pepper, other seasonings of choice. Lay them flat on a baking sheet, top with shredded Parmesan cheese and roast in the oven. Something about them being sliced so thin makes them crispy and delicious *chef’s kiss*

@lin90210 Год назад

If you find the tomatoes are acidic in the chili...add some sugar. It balances it right out :)

@donnamullins2089 Год назад

Yummy everything looks delicious. Great meal prep $2. each. And yes Texas woman here, save your bacon grease. Saute cabbage just a teaspoon does it. Add it to your iron skillet for cornbread. Dab behind each ear. Drives men crazy. ha ha .

@33snowgal Год назад

How many times have I seen you clean out your pantry? So many yet here I am still watching….. and not cleaning out my own pantry. I will get it done next time 😂

@dessebasey2750 Год назад

I wish I had her energy! It takes me a week to clean out my regular pantry. My husband steps over piles for a few days. In the meantime laundry and the bathrooms need attention. I have come to the conclusion eith my medical restrictions, that if it takes a week, it's okay.

@CookingwithCatLover0330 Год назад

I was raised in MA and live in IL now. For all that is holy, DO NOT THROW AWAY THE BACON GREASE. My dad always had a bacon grease jar on the counter. He's 80 years old and still swears by the bacon grease. I have two jars in my fridge. I use it for everything. Can of green beans going into the microwave- bacon grease. Fried egg in the skillet- bacon grease. Mashed potatoes. Yes, even mashed potatoes. Try it!

@FrugalLifeThriftyWife Год назад

I’m currently doing a pantry cleanout in preparation for a trip we’re taking to visit family next week. I’m surprised at how much food we have and the things we can make from it without going to the store 😮.

I used the canned coconut milk 🥥 for homemade protein shakes (instead of regular milk). It was good. I do bacon grease with green beans, pinto beans and sometimes bacon bits. Add in a tbsp on garlic powder and presto. Soo Good!

@jipseylass Год назад

You inspire me and make me laugh! Love that you use bacon grease, and use real butter, learned these things from my grandma. She lived thru the depression, so I love your frugal ideas.

I tend to make a chuck roast pot roast every week now since it's low carb, just meat, and veggies, and I can actually get my hubby to eat veggies by doing it. He's such a baby about veggies that once I know he likes one a certain way I will make it as much as I can.

@DaniElle-di4ho Год назад

Yes! Pantry clean out - my favorite content!! Very creative and enjoyable content tie-in for your sponsor.

I've been on a meal prep binge watching kick and I noticed everyone peels their sweet potatoes. I don't! Love that extra crispy skinny when tossed in the air fryer.

@lenaharden5486 Год назад

Ha ha! Dave fell for that one!

@bekegibson9603 Год назад

Herbs de Provence is a good change for us. Occasionally use it instead of Italian seasonings in pasta sauces, homemade salad dressing, etc and family always approves.

@evanorvell8368 Год назад

I never thought of bacon fat for roux! Wow, I'll have to try that! 😍

@melindalachapell4478 Год назад

I made A roast recently that was amazing! You can turn it into tacos or enchiladas too. Or sandwiches with peppers and a chipotle ranch sauce. It was: -a pork tenderloin - 1/2 cup brown sugar - a jar of red enchilada sauce - 2-3 garlic cloves minced - a can of Dr Pepper - cumin/ smoked paprika/ garlic and onion powder/ s &p to taste Cook all day and shred! Sooo good!

@stacyrussell460 Год назад

Ooh, that sounds delicious. I took a screenshot of your comment so I don't forget try this soon. Thank you.

The whole “I’m not buying garlic powder” made me think she needs to make a video about halfway thru 2023 on “more things I will not be purchasing in the year 2023” as a follow up lol. 😂

@gaylenewood7707 Год назад

I rather use powder in case a certain family member can't stand chunks of garlic pieces in pasta dishes or soups,or anything else..

@dracofirex Год назад

I live alone so by the time I get around to using more whole garlic, it's sprouted leaves!!

@CristinSierra Год назад

Best way to keep bacon fat! ( or any other oil you need to throw away. Don’t pour cooking oil down the drain). Keep the jars other food items come in, like salsa jars or recently I used a candle jar. Pour the grease right on in, and then you can either toss it out, or for the bacon fat out a lid on it and store in the fridge for later. Easy to add more and the jar isn’t needing wrapped in plastic wrap or just sitting out exposed to the air.

@hannahgleason9885 Год назад

Just don’t pour hot grease in a cold glass jar (voice of experience lol)

@ellendunn559 Год назад

First rule of shopping: know what the price is. Problem with Thrive Market? You can’t see the prices unless you get a subscription. Love Christine’s channel, the video is fabulous, but Hard Pass on TM.

@pamelacrowell2007 Год назад

Tip:. I use a non-stick Dutch Oven for frying anything! Sides are tall so lots less grease spatters!! And yes, bacon grease is gold!!

🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓 Till about 2 months ago , after watching you for some time now, I started saving my 🥓 bacon fat. I will never go back to not saving it. Why did I not before. 🤷‍♀️. Also, making 🥓 bacon in the oven is my FAVORITE way to make bacon. Way less messy.

Got the roast recipe from you a long time ago. I had never seen it before. It is my go to any time I find any sort of roast on sale. Put it on potatoes then sammich and/or salad for leftovers. Bam!

Thanks for the inspiration to tackle my pantry will be doing it soon! You inspire me in so many ways appreciate all your content. BTW I had no idea your Mom was from Southern Louisiana so am I! What part? I recently watched your video with her where she was giving frugal tips she looks like an absolute sweetheart. Take care! 😊

@agrammatico87 Год назад

🤯🤯🤯 I did not know my instant pot could do that. Cool!

@susanpumphrey354 Год назад

18:53 "Wait a minute...." 😅 My air fryer was one of the ones recalled too. I knew we would never survive 6 - 8 weeks without one (though it didn't actually take that long) so I just bought a new one and then filled out the info for the replacement on the other. Now I have two, which is not at all a problem. LOL.

@dwynn57 Год назад

everything looked awesome! garlic and onion are my best friends! I use them in everything! and onions are really good for you, which I don't know if everyone knows that! garlic, well everyone knows that one! as you were cooking I was making up a grocery list!!! thanks so much for sharing! wish we had smellavision! xoxo

@HLS70 Год назад

CROCK POT TIP I CAME ACROSS FROM A WONDERFUL CANADIAN WOMAN I FOLLOW.... Put a couple dish towels over your crackpot as it cooks to hold the heat in as the glass lid isn't as effective anymore. Not like in the 70's, 80's era where it was much thicker and was amazing!!!

@hopelk Год назад

Good morning 🌄 🙂Great vid!!! You mentioned that you did an appliance product recall...it might be a good vid to go over what that involved. As always, Keep the Faith, Always, Hope 🌞

@aliciaamond8148 Год назад

I did a chuck roast inside of my instant pot. Beef broth. Potatoes and carrots with seasoning. So good. Another one, an Italian roast. Sier it with olive oil or whatever kind of oil. Put it in a pan with diced Italian tomatoes, Italian seasoning, beef broth, mushrooms. So good. Bake in the oven at first for 400 or 350 for one hour, and then every hour knock it down about 50 degrees. Have it slow cook all day and it's perfect. Do a side of garlic bread 🍞 and it's delicious

@suecap4985 Год назад

I am from Baton Rouge , LA. Yes and amen on the bacon fat😊

@Jrod-vi9nw Год назад

I agree with you on the bacon fat. I save mine too. I call it my liquid gold. 😂 I add it to my veggies when cooking. I am a GRITS, born and raised in northeast Florida but i always say it’s more like southeast Georgia.

@ritabaker3113 Год назад

Great looking food. Blessings

@lindabeard488 Год назад

Great recipes.

@amixeblu Год назад

Pasta packages always say ready in 8-12 minutes depending on if it's regular or whole wheat. Whole wheat cooks here for 45 minutes. No joke. No it's not destroyed or limp, but at least the hardness is out and the "doughy" taste. Regular we put on for 30 minutes. Maybe that's just us. It's not a quick meal for us by *any* means.

@Gardeningchristine Год назад

Herb de Provence is also excellent on roasted vegetables, especially potatoes

@jeannemcmillintwinlakeses3767 Год назад

I bought those same chicken breast on clearance at Smiths (Fry's) and grilled them last week. They were so good, I'll be looking for more of them. I have bought most of my meat there for 20 yrs out of the clearance area and have never been disappointed. Their little marinated pork loins are awesome also. And bacon, I get the best buys on bacon that is no longer vacuum sealed and marked wayyyyy down. I can then afford to keep bacon cooked and in the freezer to pull a couple of slices out for breakfast, add to a salad or whatever. And of course keep the grease jar full.

@lziniti Год назад

I don’t think my doctor would be too happy if I told her I used bacon fat to cook my food. But it sounds delicious! I love your pantry cooking videos!

@firequeen2194 Год назад

I would never doubt your doctor but I’d bet bacon fat is better than vegetable oil with all the chemicals and preservatives in it. 🤷🏼‍♀️. I only use bacon fat and I learned to render my own tallow and lard (pure fat). Olive oil as well depending on flavor profile. The tallow and lard have no taste FWIW. Ghee too (clarified butter).

@kimeverhart6253 Год назад

I love your food Christine! Well, everything except curry…🤷🏼‍♀️. You even got me started with Thrive Market!! It’s a great way to shop, especially when needing gluten free foods! I really want to try the lentil chili. Is there any taste difference in regular lentils and sprouted lentils? Thanks for a fun video!! 💗😎

Try switching to Himalayan pink salt. If I’m not mistaken, Dollar Tree has a good deal on it. Get rid of the Morton salt.

@gladyschandler6724 Год назад

I love their canned coconut milk, oat milk, and almond milk from Thrive Market.

@Tia-vj9ox Год назад

It’s interesting to observe the return of meat fat. It has been taboo for so long! Of course it adds way more flavor than a veggie based fat! ❤

@Froggyjc Год назад

Lol taboo for some. Never taboo in my family.

@yenquest Год назад

Not only more flavor, it's probably a lot healthier too (healthy animal = healthy fat , in terms of omega 3 versus omega 6 ratios). The so-called "margarine" and "veggie oil" are nothing more than highly processed neutral flavored grease meant to apply toward rusty iron (or light a candle wick). 🤣

Your first vid I saw had some Q&A and at the end you and your daughter were talking about being best friends and it made me bawl. I lost my Mama “best friend” 13 years ago this August.
