What’s for Dinner | Easy & Affordable Family Meal Ideas | December 2021 

Sitting here with a glass of wine, christmas tree in the backround, sleeping cat on the couch and your video playing ♥️ What a treat!! Have a great weekend girly, much love💕

There’s this chili dip I make I think you’d love! It’s so eazsy! Spread cream cheese at the bottom of a casserole dish, put hormel chili on top then sprinkle cheese! Put it in the oven until it bubbles! Eat it with tortilla chips. SO GOOD.

For those who aren't a fan of feta (like myself) It's really good with the different flavors of the Boursin cheese (I'm partial to the garlic and herb) if you prefer that

Kroger also has a Cinnamon Honey Butter like the garlic butter. It's really good on toasted bagels and hot biscuits.

I also don't like onions so it is so amazing to finally find a person posting videos that don't include onion in everything! Thank you!

I’m always amazed at how great you are at voiceovers.

The tik tok pasta has become a huge favorite of ours for a while now. I get the tomato basil feta block from Aldi (it’s delicious) and I season the tomatoes/feta dish with lots of Italian seasoning and badia complete before baking. So yummy! Thanks for the video 👍🏻

I have started making that corn casserole dish every Thanksgiving. It is my son-in-laws favorite thing on my table! 😋

This was an especially tasty what's for dinner! Loved all of them. Thanks for all the awesome ideas you give us.

Green chilis added to the corn pudding is delicious too for a variation. I love that your meals are so family friendly and doable.

Corn pudding was a staple on holidays for us growing up !!! Never would have thought to put cheese for some reason… genius !

Hey Kristin! I love your channel! You make great food! I've now made the Feta cheese pasta 2 times now and the sausage greenbean potato recipes too many times to count, my guys love it! Thanks for sharing all you do because I've made many of your recipes and they've all been great! Blessings from Texas- Molly Barnett

Yessss a new What's for Dinner by my friend Kristin. These are the videos that hooked me to your channel.

Definitely gonna make that sausage, potato, green bean bake asap! My family hasn't bought sausage in a long time. I appreciate the videos! ❤

One thing I haven't seen that I made in home ed at school is a version of grill cheese ...2 slices of bread with cheese on and bacon pieces. .my kids love it

We call it corn pudding. I make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas but I use bisquick and add sugar. I’ll have to try it with the cornbread mix.

Love the video! We make corn casserole all the time and it just always makes such a good side dish! Next time, instead of the jiffy mix, Walmart has a Mexican style cornbread mix that we use and it adds so much flavor but isn’t really spicy so the kiddos still eat it 🤤

I love watching all of your videos! Not ashamed to say I’ve watched more than a few more than once 😊

So many great recipes here & they don't break the bank. I so enjoy your honesty & keeping it real on here. You are a treasure💟

I call it corn pudding. I make this for most Thanksgiving meals. I live in Washington state now but I am from the South. Kind of funny but corn pudding was 1 of the interview questions for my secretary position after moving to Washington state. He asked me if I knew how to make corn pudding. The guy interviewing me was from California but was stationed in Virginia for a short time years ago & another military guy invited him to Thanksgiving & he ate corn pudding for first time & loved it.

For the viral feta pasta … try it with Boursin cheese Instead . So good

Oh my gonna get me some of those pork cube steaks for sure. Thank you sweet lady for all he great ideas you give all of us. We all appreciate you. Tell Austin great job an keep on cooking.

Yess I love celery and carrots with spicy chicken wings. Its the best! Lol glad I'm not the only one.

Creamed corn is good in both corn chowder and Sheppard's pie. We'll also use it in other recpies, I try to keep a small flat of both regular canned corn and cream style corn on hand, plus a few other canned veggies in general. Awesome ideas for sure!

That corn casserole looks like Paula Dean's recipe i made for Thanksgiving. I refuse to eat corn bread so I didnt have any but my hubby said it was really good!

OMG!! There is NOT one meal in this video I don't want to try. They all look DEEE-LICIOUS!! I especially gotta try the pork chop sandwich and I never made my own corn bread Pudding. So really can't wait to try that one. Seriously. And I will make it worth ur sausage bake. It just looked bangin!! But again, they ALL DID..Lol!! Way to GO!! Thx loads for sharing. Arlene

Hi Mandy have you ever tried the chicken breast with barbecue sauce and cranberry sauce??? Truly that's it you don't add anything else it's very delicious and then you add your favorite sides. Mix the cranberry sauce and barbecue sauce and a 9x13 pan at 3:00 to 4 chicken breast cook at 350° for 40 minutes to 1 hour or until it falls apart that's it. This is my quick and easy chicken recipe.

Yummy! I am totally with you on not loving cherry tomatoes, but I love them roasted too! I love feta too. But I've heard people using cream cheese that don't love feta in that dish!

I love the cherry cheesecake no bake!! My favorite - hmm maybe I need to try the strawberry 🍓 Anyway yummy meal ideas as always! ❤️

My mama used to make gulosh and serve it with creamed mashed potatoes and sweet cornbread

i seriously cook something from ur videos every single week most weeks multiple things 😭😭tysm for these!!

These are just the easy recipes I’m looking for to serve my family this week! We have lots of family in town and I don’t want to stress before Xmas.

That sausage, potato, & green bean bake looks soo good!

I haven’t made Goulash in forever, I need to put it on the meal plan. The bbq chicken looks so good! Thanks for sharing these yummy meals!

Another great sauce for those chicken bites if you like a little kick is 1/3 cup of franks, 1 and 1/3 cup of brown sugar, and a tbsp of water. Sweet but kind of tangy with a bite. Super yummy! Sometimes I even put it on Tyson chicken strips to make it extra simple haha

I use those pork cutlets for my country fried steak add some mashed potatoes and gravy 😋 and we call it corn pudding here in Mississippi

Hope you and your family are safe🙏🏻

I hope you and your family are okay! My heart goes out to you all in Kentucky!

I make the pork sandwiches often. I just love them. The price is right, too! Take care...

Gholash is a family favorite. My mom would use tomato juice. I personally love the canned tomatoes in it. Looked really good. I've heard of chicken rolled in corn flakes. Haven't tried it yet. I've made something similar to that corn casserole. That looked yummy.

I should not watch these videos before bed because now I'm hungry and it's almost midnight. xD

Love this video, it's always nice to have a little helper in the kitchen 😊😊 thank you for sharing another amazing video 😊❤hv a wonderful day everybody 💚🤗💜

Firstly hope your family is safe and well! That last meal!!! Its on the dinner roster now for sure! Thank you and happy holidays!

A whole video of Deliciousness 😋😋 Thanks Kristen, Happy Holidays!🎄☃️🎄

You always explain what you’re doing so well and thought out! Love it girl!

We do a similar hot dish recipe as the first dish you did but add green pepper and onion to the burger to saute and a can of small red beans drained and rinsed and instead of tomato sauce a 12 oz can of V8. The kids love it and is better the next night just add a little water to reheat.

Everything looks delicious! We call fried cube steaks chicken fried steaks here in Texas. I guess even pork ones. They’re one of my favorites and heavenly with cream gray. 😊❤ (Corn casserole 😊)

We have the corn casserole for holidays but without the cheese.

When I'm doing breaded chicken bites I always end up making way too many. So I'll usually put them on a baking sheet and put the whole baking sheet in the freezer overnight til they are frozen solid. Then I'll throw em in a ziplock bag and then I have homemade frozen chicken bites at the ready. It's way cheaper too then buying the frozen premade chicken bites.

This reminded me my instant pot is for more than just dry beans and brown rice 😂. I love your videos so much you inspired me to start my own WFD videos! Been going for almost a year now!

That last meal looked amazing! I’m definitely going to try that. I bake green beans in Italian dressing and black pepper. They turn out so delicious. I’ll bet that this recipe could be adapted to using Italian dressing.

Anything you use an Emerson blender with needs to be in a deep pan or dish bc it does spray as it blends. Everything on here looks amazing, I'm going to try some of these. Thanks for sharing!

I love the tomatoes and feta, I add shrimp to mine with the pasta

I’m glad I found your channel! So cozy and cute!

Yum I’ve been wanting to try that corn casserole and the chicken instead of dipping it in egg mixture I do butter then cereal I like the way it taste!! All looked good!!

Watching all cozy in my blanket yay!!

Mmmmm!! Loved all of your yummy recipes!! I've made the cornbread casserole many times. I like to make it a bit dryer nowadays and I make it in a 8x8 square pan.

Yes! Corn casserole is my FAVORITE! So so yummy

They all look delish!

I want to make every single one of these recipes!! Yum!!

Great dishes,, for the chicken, use pork rind crumbs..yummy!

Yes!! I've been waiting for a video. Love the recipes. U should make a cookbook. I would totally buy it!!

Everything looks so good. Hope everything is well over your way, with the storms.

Every single recipe looks delicious!! 😍😍🤤🤤

Great video. Walmart sells that butter as well. I buy 4 at a time and the Honey Cinnamon butter just like Texas Roadhouse. At my Walmart it’s by the cream cheese and regular butter.

That cornbread pudding/casserole looked so good. I am going to have to try that one, and add a little bit of sugar to it like you said. Great meal ideas!

Your dinners are my fav’s ❤️

Everythings looks so delicious! I love to put your videos on while im studying and since I have finals this week they have been on repeat :) excited to see some yummy christmas goodies soon and wishing you and your family happy holidays!

I make that corn casserole all the time its fabulous!!

I love your videos and the easy meal ideas I get, including lunches. I struggle with what to take to work, so thank you! I tried the private selection garlic butter after your recommendation and it’s so yummy.

I’ve been seeing all of the devastation from the tornadoes in Kentucky lately. Hopefully that didn’t affect you guys. I hope you and your family are safe! Merry Christmas! 🎃

Love all of your videos. Those pork sandwiches look delicious.

I made the goulash but I despise Worcestershire sauce so I just doubled the onion. It was delicious!!

Lovely! I always try to cook 2 things like you did in the last one if I'm turning on the oven 😀

We did a Boursin garlic and fine harb cheese instead of feta and it was great.

I’m so glad you are back making videos!

Your video's are so helpful. Keep blessing us.

This looks so good. I love goulash and the honey bbq chicken is a must. Thanks for sharing.

Thinking about you after hearing about the tornadoes. I hope you and your family are ok!! 🥺

Another home run...i dont like cream corn but u made me want to try the last recipe

That pork sandwich looked amazing!

Everything looked so yummy! Thanks for sharing!

That pasta looks absolutely amazing. I don’t love feta to the depth of having that much of it, but I wonder if I could substitute a large ball or 2 of fresh mozzarella or even burrata in place of the feta 🤔 I love tomatoes in every form and raw or cooked but the cherry/grape tomatoes when roasted are out of this world delicious. One of my favorite things to eat is just a huge bowl of roasted veggies (cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, onion, garlic cloves, asparagus. Sometimes I’ll add potatoes to it as well but just those roasted veggies over some rice is soooo good

Yayy I’ve been waiting for a new one of these! I LOVE your videos 💞

Land O Lakes makes a garlic herb butter (I get it at Walmart) that I think is amazing. Could add some parm if you wanted.

Yay I’ve been looking for a good goulash recipe! 🤩🥳🥰

I wonder if the feta cheese pasta would also be good with a block of cream cheese, for those who don't like feta?

Everything looks so good. I'm not a fan of creamed corn. I think there's a can of it on my pantry that I think my roommate got by mistake. I know I'm going to be making the goulash. Hope your having a good week.🎄

I'm always late to the trends, I've seen the feta pasta but I don't think I'd like it. Everything else looks delicious, especially that honey BBQ chicken and the corn casserole. I love goulash in the Instant Pot and it's so easy!

Kristin, hope you and your family are safe and well. 💕🙏

Mmmm se ve súper delicioso😋🤤

Going to make that corn casserole with ham steaks!

All of the food looks good 👍

Enjoyed. Great recipes! I have to have that pork chops sandwich!! Lol. Great job!

I just love all your videos!

yay best birthday ever! A new video 😍🥰💜

Hi Kristen! Great dinner ideas! Going to give these a try. With the crescent rolls, have you ever tried brushing the garlic butter on the inside before you roll them? I wonder if it would affect how they puff up.

Awesome recipes, thanks so much 🎄🎄🎄

I don't know if those storms were close to y'all but I just wanted to check in and make sure y'all are alright!

Great dinner ideas. Thanks!!
