Hey, friends! I did type out the ingredients and measurements for my ranch and taco seasoning, as well as the jalapeño ranch dip. Feel free to change them up according to your family's tastes and preferences! 🙂
yay
I freeze my soup in the silicone muffin cups then once it is frozen I vacuum seal them and they take up less room in the freezer and they are individual portions
You have made me hungry for soup ! That looks delicious and I will definitely be making that ! Thank you for showing your seasoning recipes again ! I was going to look back through your older videos and try to find them since I didn’t write them down back then ! I don’t buy the ready made packets because they always have way too much salt and my husband has high blood pressure. Thank you Mindy for sharing your delicious recipes ! You have made cooking fun again for me !
Let’s face it. Children are just hobbits in disguise😂😂
"That's french ya'll"😆 and I call those random containers cowboy Tupperware 👍
I’ve already started my freezer prep for winter in case we lose power.. we’re way out and can go 5-7 days without power if it ices over 🥴 can’t wait to try the chicken and wild rice soup 🤤 thanks for sharing
How do you like your Ninja blender?
This is something I do to save a bit of money. U could use this for the French bread. I put each piece in a zip lock sandwich (cheap) bag. I then take all those bags and put it in one gallon freezer bag. U can reuse that gallon freezer bag again and again because nothing gets on it because we used the cheaper sandwich bags for the item. Freezer bags get to be expensive, especially if u r like me and prefer Zip Lock brand.
When my boys were kids, I always said they eat like a pregnant women who eats every couple hours. Only difference pregnant women eat 4 bites every 2 hours – teen age boys need a full meal every 2 hours.
Totally feel your pain on ALL the meals kids “need” 🤣🤦🏼♀️
The soup looks incredible!! Can’t wait to try!!
Where do you get your bulk spices?
Awesome video🌺
Do you put all your bulk spices in glass jars?
Enjoyed seeing the meatless meals from greenchef. Thanks for sharing that soup recipe. I will probably only 1 cup of half and half. Curious how long that salad keeper keeps your lettuce fresh for? Thanks Mindy
Thank you! I love chicken wild rice soup!! Can’t wait to try this recipe. ❤️
Add lemon zest into you chicken and wild rice soup. It really takes it to the next level.
I've never shredded my cooked chicken breasts using my hand mixer! Interesting! Thx for the idea, Mindy!
Loved these ideas and that soup recipe! Thank you!
I save and use the bowls also lol. Wow the soup looks delicious can’t wait to try it tfs!! Great ideas!!
Hi mindy, what’s the crack chicken recipe please ? I didn’t see it in the description box.
Great timing i cooked some chicken breast in slow cooker today and was thinking how to use it next few meals. I've never heard of crack chicken that looks amazing and think I'm gonna LOVE it. Thanks for all your videos
Our Panera has the chicken and wild rice soup on Mondays. 😊
The soup looks delicious! I always get Panera's tomato soup. I love tomatoes!
I ADORE the chicken wild rice soup from Panera … and I haven't seen it since before the pandemic. It may have been a fatality of something. Thanks for resurrecting it!
Hey Mindy! I’m making the crack chicken NOW. I just realized I wasn’t supposed to add the cheese until the end. Do you think it will still turn out ok?
I haven’t made crack chicken in forever!!! Def going to make that for the family soon. ❤️
Looks delicious i am going to try that wild rice chicken soup!!! 😋
You are so right that sometimes you need to just tweak a meal by adding something different or a little special like a good bread or dip.👍🏻☺️ Great video!!
The soup looks awesome. My homemade taco seasoning is very similar but I add dried cilantro and ground coriander.
Hi Mindy love your videos! I was wondering if you could do a quick video about prepping, washing/cleaning fruits & veggies. I’ve heard of people using vinegar when washing their grapes? Does it change the taste of the grapes?
Thanks, Sofie
That jalepeno dip looks great, minus cilantro for us. Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t have the same veggies for the soup, but I did have frozen pot pie veggies (potatoes carrots peas and corn) and some chicken breast and a box of wild rice pasta – didn’t have chicken broth or cream – but I threw it together what I did have made a bit of a thickener with butter and flour – and tossed a cup of milk in – was concerned but wow it was actually really great – and my kids actually like it… what magic is this!?
I loved when you said “that’s French y’all” ❤️
The chicken and wild rice soup is my fav soup at Panera as well and when I didn’t see if for a while I asked and they told me they no longer have that soup.
I'm also 'that person ' who re-uses those random containers! Especially the ones that had cold cuts in them! I recognize the blue lids and the red lids! 😁🌻 thank you for sharing these great ideas- going to make the chicken and wild rice for my parents- most likely I will bring it over in two blue lid containers!
I usually make a mushroom and wild rice soup this time of year but I’ll have to try your version with chicken! having something on hand for lunches is a life saver because it stops me from eating junk during the day lol. love your idea to freeze portions individually!!
Since thanksgiving is coming up, would you please show some budget friendly super tasty meals? I’m a college student and my boyfriend and I are celebrating and I would love some ideas, and I love your channel! Would love any recipes for desserts as well 🙂
Great idea to cut the bread into individual serving size before freezing!
Yum! Love getting things ready for the week. I think my mom would love that soup because they are really into soup. I keep having leftovers for lunch and there really hasn’t been enough leftovers so I might need to start doing some cooking for lunches to.
Thank you for sharing the chicken and rice soup I can’t wait to make this.
That soup looks soooo amazing
I heard they got rid of the chicken and wild rice soup 😢😢😢
