@joycajet 2 года назад

My 4 and 8 year old boys love lasagna or anything with pasta. I hide my veggies in there. I love chicken/Salmon with roast potatoes and veg

@hootowlholler3760 2 года назад

Some of my go to meals are spaghetti, bbq chicken breast & roasted veggies, chili w/corn bread & fruit, chicken noodle soup & potato soup. Any time there's roast; sandwiches are made from it the 2nd time around.

@stephaniecurtis4249 2 года назад

My family's favorite InstaPot meal is chicken Verde. 4 frozen chicken breasts 1 tsp of paprika 1 tsp of cumin 1 jar of salsa Verde Set the Pot on Poultry on high for 26 minutes, shred, and serve over beans and rice. My hubby likes me to add "fajita" veggies (peppers and onions).

@kimbluhm9289 2 года назад

A new one for my kids is. Chicken doritoz casserole....I save the doritoz for last tho.... cause I have figured out that they get soggy.... & is not good re-heated....

@kimbluhm9289 2 года назад

We also like to do shredded chicken quesadillas... & we mix up a big batch of shredded chicken & a big can of green enchilada sauce & mix it together & put into crescent rolls & bake.... very kid friendly.... Oh & chili cheese tater tots casserole

I just want you to know. I think you are just the sweetest and kindest person Kimmy. You are blessing a friend going through a rough time with food to feed her family. I can't think of a better way to show someone how much they mean to you and that you truly are THERE and thinking of them. Huge hugs and high 5's from me to you girl! 🥰

I like the style of the apron you are wearing. It's much more comfortable without a strap around my neck. And oh my gosh, I love your cute slippers!

@shesinherapron 2 года назад

Thanks! They were a gift from a sweet friend.

I cook huge batches of piergies (pedahe) then cannelloni, sauce, it's my Ukrainian heritage

@micheleorellana2539 2 года назад

If you are putting sugar in the gravy to cut the acid down, I minced celery and carrots, sauté them in olive oil then I add the garlic, let that cook for a minute then add the canned tomatoes.

@kingsruby1 2 года назад

You are a gem for blessing your friend with that food.

hi Elaine How are you today?

@klrich222 2 года назад

Kim have you seen the hack of putting your whole head of garlic in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Then slice off the end (not root end) and squeeze out your whole garlic cloves. It’s peeled and whole. When you try it please film!! It works.

@shesinherapron 2 года назад

I will!! Thank you so much!!!!

@jeanjohnson5023 2 года назад

Hi Kimmy! I use dry herbs for the long simmering time and THEN add the fresh herbs for the last hour so this way the flavour is more prominent and not bitter, I use your recipe for your tomato sauce and love it, thank you

@shesinherapron 2 года назад

Great tip! Thank you!

@Katlivinglife 2 года назад

You need a garlic press and board scraper. You dull your knives dragging it across the cutting board.

@eileenhoffmann2422 2 года назад

My daughter is in 2 sports all year long.So,once a month I do a months worth of meals and freeze them.It is a life saver!!!

@kiki4795 2 года назад

If you add your garlic when the onion is almost done and then the tomato paste and saute for a minute or so, it removes the raw taste of both the garlic and tomato paste ❤ Going to make some sauce for dinner tomorrow to have over gnocchi so thank you for the inspiration 😀

@shesinherapron 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip!

Exactly 👍🏻🙂😉

@dianehall5345 Год назад

Good morning Kimmy from our farm in Central Lakes ⛵⛵ New Hampshire! I teach sustainability workshops when I have the time. So encouraged by your videos, showing how to stock a pantry from a meal planning list. We have relied heavily on my pantry since March 2020 for our two farm properties. Not only are we a fair distance from any grocery store , but we also shut the farm down during the pandemic. Having multiple freezers and shelf space dedicated to dry and canned goods has been a lifesaver for time and budget. I had to give up my part time job in 2020. That money was used for groceries. Kimmy, you are a study in Materials Management. I retired from high tech and learned the min/max concept that works so well for the home. So kind of you to help a friend. We do the same. We don't have cash, but I can make up food gift baskets and delivered firewood and hay. So many of our neighbors were down with flu and other viruses. They needed a hot meal delivered and sometimes barn work. We raise grass fed beef and asked for help last fall to get the cattle into the barn for the winter. All the best! ~ Diane

@wickedprepared 2 года назад

@lorig.7127 2 года назад

The jar of peppers&veggies in oils is pronounced like Jar -Den-Near. It can also be put on an Italian Sub or served on an antipasto tray. In my family we always fry or bake our meatballs before adding to our homemade sauce. I'm glad you heard me shout You Forgot the Italian Style Breadcrumbs! And adapted your recipe😁

@cynthiapm8149 2 года назад

We pronunce it Jar-Da-Nair-Ah and we buy the huge jars from Costco put it on our Subway sandwiches, pizza, anitpasto. We have Portillos for Italian beefs and dip that bread in the broth. Great Christmas gift for family who moved far and away from the Chicago area.

@kayos7347 2 года назад

Another Chicagoan here- we say “jar-din-air” 😅 But I can agree than Portillos is 😋 Buona too!

@catherinedavid2265 2 года назад

I just happened on this video as I was looking for something else and I’m so glad I did. Some of the meals you’ve made I would never have thought of making. You’re a very organised lady and certainly know how to cook the easy way even though the prep is time consuming. I will now be following you so I can enjoy some of your recipes. Your friend must be delighted with what you do for her in her time of need which is what only a true friend with big heart would do. So many thanks for your video and I will now subscribe so I don’t miss future recipes. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

@urarmychick87 2 года назад

A great alternative to ricotta cheese if u either can't find it or it's too expensive is cottage cheese. I kno it sounds wierd but trust me, when it's baked, u can't tell a difference

@barbaracreel2777 2 года назад

I switched that for homade lasagna and you can't tell the difference.

@jblack212 2 года назад

I blend the cottage cheese with an immersion blender to make it smooth and it’s the perfect substitute.

@islandbaby4704 2 года назад

I think it’s cute that you call enchiladas ..ANCHILADAS!

@rosemarydoran9907 2 года назад

@kathymccallister9738 2 года назад

I love the wrap apron! And I love the idea of it being a little big so you can move around comfortably. Hope you add this to items you make available to us 😍....a pretty floral would be wonderful!

The wrap apron reminds me a lot of the kind that are popular in Japan.

@kokolatte825 2 года назад

When I saw it I said, "oh she's really IN her apron." I love the style. Really cool.

My husband bought me an apron like that for Christmas a few years ago. It is my FAV!

@rachalnocchi5600 2 года назад

Those basil plants can be put into your outdoor garden once all danger of frost is gone! I have successfully grown HUGE plants from grocery store basil plants! I use banana pepper rings all the time in both chicken and beef Mississippi roasts, and trust me it turns out super yummy using those too! Just in case you ever need to use a jar in a pinch! 😉 My family go to's are lazy lasagna, homemade pizza's, both chicken and beef enchiladas, taco seasoned meat (we use ground beef, chicken or turkey depending on our mood, lol), a fun dish called Bang Bang chicken (or shrimp), numerous kinds of soups that freeze well!

@chanelle7484 2 года назад

@tamih7115 2 года назад

For your lasagna you can use a can of spinach drained for the extra vitamins and if you dont have ricotta cheese you can use cottage cheese.

You can’t make it taste like your mom’s because her special ingredient is a touch of her love poured in !❤️I told my grown son that he tried to do a dish l always made him as a kid He says to his wife it doesn’t taste like my mom’s! My grandma too the best hash potatoes when l was a kid!😂👍

@deeferry6520 2 года назад

Like you, I mostly use dry herbs but I was told only to use fresh herbs at the end of cooking, as they lose their flavour during cooking. Dried herbs during fresh at the end or as a garnish, but each to his own

I do too. And when she told the meatballs to do their thing. I do that too.

@anetzband1383 2 года назад

This was a wonderful practical video. I took lots of notes and thought of how I could adapt it for two old people. I love that Lazy Man's Lasagna, and the sweet and sour meatballs in the crockpot. I had never before heard of starting your "gravy" with two pork chops! That was fascinating. Thank you so much.

@roseyberry4590 2 года назад

I LOVE the apron! I love how it wraps. I think that is the perfect size. It covers all of your clothes and it's not restricting. I'm getting to the point that I don't like wearing my aprons with the "around the neck" part.

@Leafkittie 2 года назад

My mom makes an amazing gravy too. I tried your recipe with the pork. I told my mom about it. It really is delicious. I also wanted to say that hearing you mix the Lazy man Lasagna is my favorite sound. Makes my mouth water. lol. I'm making that for Easter.

@clamdiggers7093 2 года назад

I’m definitely trying some of these recipes! Love your apron but that organized pantry is perfection!

@janetg. Год назад

Just an idea...one way to get rid of the acid and also sweeten the sauce is to add whole carrots which can be removed after cooking. The carrots absorbed the acid while sweetening the sauce at the same time.

@countryinthecity3736 2 года назад

Have you thought of using a cookie scoop to make your meatballs, it keeps them a uniform size and then they cook at the same rate.? Also, did you know that scraping your knife blades on your cutting boards dulls the sharp edge and can even give your blades microscopic Knicks in the blade, instead turn the blade over and use the back of the knife to scrape the food off your cutting board, it's thicker and it won't hurt the blade that way. Your meals looked so yummy and you are the sweetest for helping a friend in that way.

I don't buy the jars of minced garlic either. For some reason, it just looks weird to me. I'm of Italian descent like you and so fresh garlic is one of the best scents in the world! 😋

@witsonsmom729 2 года назад

❤ Working pantry. That apron looks so comfortable.

@christineencrypt3892 2 года назад

I love making meatloaf and Lipton onion burgers and freezing them (raw) so easy to cook & eat. I’m also working on a recipe for fried rice mix for the freezer too. I don’t like thinking of meals every day so if they are shopped from the freezer it’s so much easier.

@JackieMarieB44 2 года назад

I made your Italian gravy about a month ago and frozen the rest and I just looooooove it!!!!! It's so nice to have homemade gravy in my freezer whenever I need it and we all love the flavor!!!! I'm pretty sure I'll be doing that for the rest of my life 😊

@melureuin3848 2 года назад

Here is a great idea. Donate your entire pantry to a food bank. They would be so impressed and you feed so many families. Include your awesome recipies.
