Great recipes…thanks for sharing!❤
I never thought about saving the pork roast broth. Thanks for the tips.
I think the core of the cabbage looks like the
"Tree of Life" to me
Yeah I see the alien lobster too hehe
That looks delicious!
I love all the hacks and recipes! I will definitely be trying the potato skin hack first! Love from Texas ❤
Lisa, I love your videos!! Will you be growing your own garden again this year?
Is Andrew your husband? Your boyfriend? Your roommate?
I love watching you and your meals are awesome! Keep the videos coming!😊
Good tipps, thank you! I like your aproach. 👍 Here some tipps from me:
👉If your oven breaks down, you can fry potatoe skins or chips in hot oil in the pan. For crunchiness take them out after 2 min, let them cool and fry again till crispy.
👉I never wash and season my pumpkin or squash seeds. I just bake them with the pumpkin goo still on it. The goo turns into a crisp flavourful seasoning in itself. I never got the idea to use other spices, but next time I will try it as well. 😋
👉And a warning: when you use the potatoe 🥔skin, make sure not to use any part that has turned green🟢 from light🔆 exposure. The green stuff contains solanin, and it is toxic. ☠Cut anything green off, or better yet, protect your potatoes from light. 🥔 ⛱ Cover them with a newspaper📰, or keep them in a box 📦or the fridge.
👉If I fry stuff, i don´t let it cool and drip on kitchenpaper, but on a grate over a deep dish, so I can re-use the dripped fat. Saves also on paper rolls.
👉Last tipp: When you make green tea at home, you can use the fresh tea bags to treat your eyes. Just mopp your eyes gently with the still warm (not hot) and moist (not dripping) teabag. 🫖
Oh and yes it does look like a little lobster creature. Or if you look in a more rounded way it looks like that Tree of Life logo ya know?
Girl I tell you every video how crazy it is how much I enjoy and look forward to your videos! And guess what? This is no exception. I do the scraps in the freezer for broth because of you. I do the fat/broth/juice hack. It makes everything taste yummy! And gorgeous clean fat. I love it. And this one I’m going to start doing the potato skins idea!!! What????? Why haven’t I ever done this. My mom is going to flip. She is always telling stories about growing up with 3 older brothers and them always doing at least 10 pounds of “taters” at each meal!!! She hates peeling them now. Haha! But she’s so good at it! Can you imagine how much vitamins and yummy crunchy skins they could have eaten!?! Wow!!! I’ve asked her before why not just leave the skins on. She said they never even thought about it. Wow! But now onto my other thing I want to do or understand more of and it’s the aqua fava. WHAT!?!?!?!? I saw you meringue those and was flipping my lid!!!! Please make a whole video about this please. I will have googled it by then but please. I make so much roasted chickpeas for my kids. And that water is thick and I’ve always wondered what the deal is with it. But I never looked into it. Why didn’t I??? Well I’m here and wanting to learn so will ya make a video about it and teach us!?!? I can’t wait. So thank you again for another great video. And tell Andrew great job and it looked delicious. My son is a ramen master I tell you. He would appreciate y’all’s. Thanks again!
Never thought of saving potato peels and making “chips” gonna have to try that! Thanks for sharing!
And yes I saw the lobster in the cabbage too.
I'm so happy to see a new video! Thanx Lisa 😊
Enjoyed your video. Could you do a affordable charcuterie board??
We have same oven,broiler went out and oven temp went crazy,replaced the oven control board.bought used one off eBay for $75 been working great for about year now
This ramen dinner looks absolutely delicious!!! And I must say I truly enjoyed this video!!! You and Andrew need to cook together more often!!! Thanks for sharing you guys!! Always look forward to more excellent videos!!👍👍👍
I love how you don't waste anything. We are trying to find ways to waste less in the kitchen. I figured out that if you use that particular potato peeler TOWARDS yourself vs away, it works much better and easier!
🤣 lol Lisa don't feel bad hun cause I'm 42 yrs old and didn't know that's what those 2holes were for….Dead ass serious….
Ain't we stuck on dumb and dangling on stupid!!!!
You two are too adorable! Always glad to see you post!
I hope this video inspires all the struggling single mom's out there! I ran my kitchen like this after my kid's dad left me (for someone named 'Nancy"…but I digress) on a very limited income. I developed a very close relationship with the butchers in the meat department at my local Delchamp's and made a pilgrimage to the reduced-for-quick-sale meat bin every Thursday morning, armed with advance intel from the guys in the back! I had a revolving menu of dishes that I more or less rotated over a two week period, which enabled me to maintain a pantry of basic ingredients that I could purchase multiples of as those items were on sale.
Our budget was extremely limited for things like entertainment, so I involved the kids in the kitchen and each week sponsored an ethnic dinner: Italian, Asian, American, etc. Doing this was a great bonding activity, taught them kitchen skills, budgeting, and inspired a life long love of culinary adventure! Definitely a less is more approach to living.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for sharing this video. Always enjoy your efforts and truly appreciate your time.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't peel veg. I never do. Even for mashed potato. I've not peeled anything for years. Just wash them well and cook. No waste!
Great video as always, love this! And I totally saw the cabbage lobster lol 😂 Great job to your man on the ramen, yum!
Finding meals that my husband and I like is hard. Unfortunately he grew up on fast food and frozen meals. I'm mexican and just like yours, my house was an ingredient house. Going out to eat, microwave food, boxed meals, and canned food was nonexistent.
I love going on YouTube, google, and Pinterest to look for recipes but he's scared of trying new things. Its a constant battle, but he loves when i cook more than when he eats his fast food.
I have stove that looks a lot like yours, and the oven has been really unreliable too, lately. I’m debating troubleshooting and just replacing.
Yes i love to save the taters skins and bake them …. i will try the bean water i have bout 20 cans someone was gonma toss
..
Do you have a Flash Foods near you? Basically food that is near expiration they sell at big discounts. I’d love to see what you could do with a few items from them. You never know what you’re going to get, but I love your creativity & I bet you’d be so good at making some great meals!
I save all my cores from cabbages , potato skins , cucumber skins , hard pieces of broccoli and cauliflower ect cut up freeze it and make soup at a later time
Thanks! I also would like to contribute to the new oven/repair fund. Keep making your amazing videos!❤️
Great ideas! I already use most of them but always peel the squash, so now I can skip that step! In contrast, I never peel potatoes but now I will, at least once, to try these peeling chips!
So excited to see more videos!!!
👍😊❣️
Fly Eagles Fly !!
Great ideas! I LOOOVE your videos! Also, I for sure saw a scorpion shape in your cabbage. Hahah Thanks for sharing this! Can't wait for more!
I hope everything works out with your oven! Wish I could buy you a shiny new one, thank you for all your videos! ❤
I definitely see the bug/lobster in the cabbage. Pareidolia is pretty cool.
Yay! Thank you for a new video! Great tips! I planted some green onions that were going bad in my fridge last summer, since I was tossing them anyway and wow — we were able to snip scallions all summer from them, and then when I pulled them out of the dirt in the fall, the onion bulbs themselves were as big as golf balls! Score! Also, if you haven’t already done so, trim up that cabbage stalk/core and salt it and eat it for a delicious treat.
I would add the potato skins to my stock bag in the freezer….hadn't thought of it until your video. I purchase chicken feet at a Oriental Market for the collagen.
