Ya’ll know I love a good pantry cooking challenge, where I look around my kitchen and make an effort to use up open packages of …
I have made about 4 or 5 batches of those oatmeal cookies since I saw you post it on IG! My family loves them!!
Not having watched all your stuff (i just found your channel ) i was wondering if you have ever made putanesca pasta. all ingredients are pantry staples. delicious 👌
So delicious meals. Thank you.
Great ideas!❤️
Mindy! Girl! You make me feel like less of a failure. It’s ok to be a messy mom sometimes. And a simple reminder is all we need. Enjoy your day.
what size is your dutch oven?
Have to say the instant oatmeal cookies and cheesey potatoes were genius.
Love your yummy creativity!
Cookies look great
Love it 💜
Thank you for the wonderful videos! I always enjoy each one! One note…I think when we burn a milk based sauce it is called scorching. Scalding is what you do to milk to kill bacteria and it impacts the proteins and enzymes in the milk. 🙂
yes yes yes more please more than 1x month pretty please
I ordered the imperfect box for a month now love the price and product but unfortunatly they are no longer sending to my area because FedEx keeps messing up the deliveries and 1/2 of my stuff is ruined. so upset
Thank you so much for this video. I’m determined to do this with my bits and pieces. I pray God continues to move you to help others.
hey mindy happy new year love your videos and stroganoff is fine over rice or mashed potatoes it doesn't always have to be noodles and my grandma is no longer with us but she was a use up the pantry kinda gal and would have loved these videos she was russian and poll and we'd have stroganoff over potatoes or rice all the time especially in winter and if you want to know a great trick for getting burnt crap out of a dutch oven or any pot put hot water in it and some Dawn or regular hand washing soap put the pot on a burner on med hi for about an hour depending on how caked on the crap is but after an hour you should be able to wipe the burnt off with a dish rag and save money on the dishwasher and your elbow grease lol..but love your videos and definitely helpful and you can also make breakfast muffins with those oatmeal packs and any leftover pancake mix and a muffin pan lol but great video
It always a good feeling to throw out empty, used up food items vs full or half full that have spoiled from not being used. I cleaned out my freezer yesterday and could have cried at the waste. Mental note to be more aware of what’s in stock vs just buying out of being unsure what we already have.
Now, question, what did you do to save your pot? I have one have had for years that needs a good scrub to get the bottom inside of the pan that’s discolored and burnt that needs a good soak and scrub.
I've been looking for something to do with that same cheese! I'm trying so hard to get my pantry and freezer weeded out ..we are getting there, but my imagination is wearing out ..love the inspiration.
I have def adopted this philosophy of using up what I have ranging from the pantry to my makeup collection. It is crazy how much we think we need or just want and how much of those things are wasted. Looking forward to continuing this mentality this yr ♥️
if you bring a little water to boil in your pot, add a couple teaspoons of baking soda SLOWLY because it will foam up, turn it off and let it cool. it should come right off with a cloth. 🙂
Great way to make oatmeal cookies. Yum!!
Love the oatmeal packet cookie idea. I'm going to love trying to make these for the kids, can't wait! Thank you Mindy!!
Great video, Mindy!! ❤❤❤
This is what I've been doing, going through the pantry and I can't believe how much stuff I had that was expired already! I had stocked up a little for 2020. And some things just get pushed aside. Now I'm using them. They're still good.☺️
You always make me hungry I love your videos 😀
You are so creative. I want to be you when I grow up lol Great job 🙌 👏
😋😋😋😋😋
Hi Mindy, I use stew meat to make quite a few things and I wait till the meat is tender before I add any dairy products to guard against scolding or scorching issues. I'm bad about walking away so I understand the struggle.
How about breakfast for breakfast? Lol🤣 seriously though, those grilled bbq burritos looked delicious!
Great video! Thank You for the ideas!
T About that dutch oven. Dont scrub. Put It n ur sink make heavy bleach water and soak. It will clean inside and out effortlessly. Thanku i am a recent newbie to OK i found u this morning. Love ur channel.
Love you're videos, always reminds to shelf, freezer cook
Great ideas-thanks for sharing your creativity for using leftovers. Thrilled you saved your Dutch oven. I had a waffle maker failure yesterday and worried I wouldn’t be able to save it, but I did!
The way you ended with the empty containers was brilliant!!!🤯🤯.
Great ideas!
I love to do the same with my fridge and pantry stuff on Fridays get it cleared up and make some food for the weekend!😃
Mindy, Do you ever !make Italian Wedding Soup? I thought you did…My Thyroid brain fog isn't clearing!
Those burritos looked so yummy !!! As always love your videos…
I love your channel! I don’t like to waste anything so I really appreciate your videos❤️
Great ideas.
I don’t comment much, but when I get on YouTube & see that you posted I immediately click ☺️☺️ Love these videos & lots of others!!
I’m so happy to see your channel doing so well (you’re so close to 100K!!!!). I’ve been around a long time now and always thought you were one of the most genuine YouTubers I’ve ever seen. Your success is well deserved, Mindy!
Love when you use "scraps" as my mother use to say and sometimes you end up finding out a new recipe that comes out of these creations. Thanks for sharing and I would love to try those breakfast burritos!
Mindy I just came across your channel not too long ago and I absolutely love your videos because it just seems more my style of cooking. It's so relatable like let's use up what we have! I would have never thought to use the oatmeal packets to make cookies!
Love these ideas! I find it so satisfying to use things up and NOT waste.
Another great job Mindy🙂
We are a family of 7, after seeing your videos I have been pushing myself out of my comfort zone to keep eating what we have. I had a small stock pile of things that I saved as back up and now I am using that back up to help stretch our budget even further. It has become a luxury to have fresh produce items on hand and I am pushing myself to go as far as I can and be even more creative with the things we still have due to being taught by watching you!
Dutch Oven- Quarter cup of bleach mixed with enough water to cover stain. Soak for at least 24 hours. Drain and wash with dish soap, rinse. Immediately dry off Dutch oven stain will be gone without scrubbing.
How did you clean the Dutch oven?
Mindy you are the queen of using bits and pieces to make amazing meals ! Everything you make looks so delicious ! Thanks for all your great ideas and tutorials ! I hate food waste and love the use it all up ideas you share ! Thanks Mindy !
