PANTRY & FREEZER CLEAN-OUT Episode 1 Meal Ideas Using Pantry Items  

If you add the flour to the grease in the pan and cook it for a couple of minutes then stir in some warmed milk slowly, you should get silky smooth gravy. Those breakfast bowls look delicious!

I took this challenge right after child number 3 left home. It’s been 5 months and I still haven’t gone through everything!

Thanks love pantry cooking thanks ❤😅

I like to spread my green beans out on a cookie sheet , drizzle with olive oil salt and pepper and roast in the oven . I love to add lemon, garlic and rosemary. It’s simple to prepare.

The hisea’s would make an excellent Father’s Day gift it sounds like!!

Sometimes we use flour and milk and put a couple oackages of the dryed beef packets from aldi that used to be around .69 cents. Pour it over bread and mashed potatoes. So good!

I will be doing this before we move so I have less food to pack.

Great video! This a good reminder to eat down what you have been blessed to amass.

Definitely something I do a couple times a year to make sure nothing goes to waste

Bacon grease is good in green beans too, any beans...almost anything 😂

We like to use toasted sesame seed oil in our green beans. It has less sodium than bacon grease and adds an unexpected flavor. We also use that to sautee the long beans we are growing or Asian green beans. Everything looked good. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for meal plan for the week and have everything to make these thanks ❤😊 love your videos thanks ❤😊

Those chicken boots are super cute!

That breakfast for dinner was nice--with all of those ingredients, how could be less than amazing?

Yummy❤

I love cutting the potatoes ahead and soaking in the fridge but even better you can stick the bowl in the microwave for like 3 minutes before draining the water and then it takes a lot of time off it cooking.also awesome to do some oil and butter for potatoes. Yum!

Always looking forward to your new videos! Best wishes from the UK! ❤

Wow! some more great recipes to try! I made your pimento cheese spread that you shared in a few videos back and it was delicious! I don't like bread, so I had it on tomato slices. It was wonderful and so simple to make!

I've never made gravy before 😬 you made it look so easy! I'll be sure to try and not worry about lumps either, thank you!

Great video. I was going to make breakfast for dinner tonight but after seeing how many pots etc I'm glad I didn't tonight as I'm unwell. Definitely another time

I did not know that about frozen green beans...good tip!

I just made a version of that sausage dish. Onion, peppers, sausage and garlic sautéed. Added in rice and stewed tomatoes with some herbs and it all simmered together until rice was cooked. Served with broccoli. One pot! Yours with beans looks great 😋

I should do that with pinto beans, I buy a lot of baked/refried ect in cans. I could cook them "bland" and season them to whatever I'm using them for as I use them. Great idea!

Thank you for the inspiration! I've been doing this over the past few weeks -- making dinners from what I had in the freezer and pantry instead of shopping. After the pantry clean-out, could you do a video on a pantry re-stock? Please and thank you!

Kitchen/ pantry stuff is what I'm doing today! I have a big kitchen to-do list that has been piling up since I've been busy outside. I've been frantically trying to use up old stuff before new stuff comes in.

Like my green beans with vinegar added and cooked until soft & Leather-y. (That sounds like a Silence of the Lambs fava bean quote.) A little diced garlic is nice as well.

If you use corn starch instead of flour it less likely to lump up be sure to pour it in slowly 😊

Just an idea for next time....cook the bacon first and then the potatoes in the bacon greece is delicious 😋

I don't like frozen grean beans either. Thank you for the technique to make them better! You shouldn't have to explain yourself for using bacon grease. 😋

Girl, adding flour to cold milk - clumps for sure. Plus you don’t taste the flour taste if you add flour to the oil in the skillet then let it cook a bit - then add warm milk. See if this method doesn’t work for you.Breakfast bowls look scrumptious.

oh my i can almost smell those eggs and bacon! do you have a video/recipe for lazymans lasagna made with meat sauce and frozen cheese ravioli? if so will you let me know where to find it? tx

Hello Lori I am going to check out those chicken boots do they run true to size? I have been wearing my garden clogs to pull out a bunch of stumps and we have clay here in Tennessee and ugh is it messy. These meals all look great we make breakfast for dinner at least a couple times a month and i started using our bacon grease this year and the first time my family thought i had lost my mind but now they love eggs cooked in bacon grease I wish I had chickens for eggs but i am thankful eggs were down to $1.03 a dozen. I had lots of peppers and onions in my freezer from last summer i used the last of them the other day i hope they start producing in the garden soon so i can restock the freezer. Great meal ideas hope you have a great week and i look forward to see what meals you come up with for next week.

Don’t feel bad, I am notorious for picking the wrong size bowl, skillet, pan or container! We are a small family and thinking about having some hens for eggs. How many hens do you have and how many eggs do the produce in a week? Also how are those sweet baby goats doing?

We only shop once every 6 months

Don't the green beans turn out greasy
