I'm jealous of your H Mart! I live in the country and have to drive 1-1/2 hours to get to an Asian market. Which I am grateful to have that option.
In the UK we would call that a crust less quiche or maybe a baked omelette. Definitely not a casserole. Looks good though.
These videos help me use the items I get from food pantries
I love to get food baskets/boxes. Super fun🤩
I never would have thought 50 would be so great. My son is grown and doing well, and I feel like the first time in my life I can just do what I want. It’s freeing.
I really love your filled pasta recipe. What a great idea to make it in your slow cooker!
I also loved the breakfast casserole. I often make breakfast for dinner. Your recipe would be quite satisfying to my husband and myself.
Thanks again,
Eileen 😊
I believe the stuffed shells are a seasonal item at ALDI. I usually buy a few bags when they're available because they're cheap and an easy winter meal. I will say they are a bit bland and quite soft. So use a really flavorful sauce and dont overcook them. I have a small baking dish for my toaster oven that fits six shells perfectly. I think they turn out much better if you bake them. If you top them with cheese (and you should), it gets crusty and brown around the edges. Yum!
I work for a keto food company here in Ontario Canada. We use Konjac noodles in some of our ready made meals. Different brands have varying levels of fishy smell. I find nuPasta to be the worst. I prefer a brand called Liviva. They also make a konjac “rice” that’s great in chicken and “rice” soup! You’re right, dry frying is to dry them so your sauce sticks. Enjoy!
Received my noodles in the mail. I ordered a package miracle noodles & a variety six pack by its skinny. We ll let you know how they work for me.
I found myself wincing when you opened the biscuits. When I was a kid, you had to smack the biscuit container against the edge of the counter really hard to open them. I knew the pop was coming but it always stressed me out. Like a firecracker that doesn't pop right away or deliberately picking a balloon with a pin. You know it's coming. Showing my age here. Mainly want to say that I love your recipes and also often listen to your videos while going to sleep. Your voice is so calming. New subscriber.
I absolutely love konjac noodles. I just found that Amazon has a 6pk of 7oz pouches for $23.88.
I can’t wait to order them.
I'm definitely going to try the breakfast casserole. You really could put anything in them.
I always buy a lot of those Aldi stuffed shells when the store near me has them in stock. I wish they had them year round here because they are delicious, easy, and so cheap. I bake mine in the oven in a small pan and usually get several meals out of them with a bagged side salad.
I make something similar to your first recipe, the breakfast casserole. I don't use biscuits as we just don't have them in Australia, they've never done well but yes, I have had them many times when in America. Now back to my recipe. We call it a frittata. The only difference is the omission of biscuit dough and I add alot more vegetables, preferably leftover baked vegetables.
You may find the Miracle noodles at Hmart under another name for a lower price, they’re called shirataki noodles 😊hope this helps
Look into their happy belly products. Their course ground pepper is so good, I'm obsessed! Their snack crackers (and graham, etc.) are better than Ritz or the name brands. I like their canned veggies, fruits etc as well.
My husband is diabetic so I’m really excited to try the noodles! Please tell me I’m not the only one who wants to see you taste your food?! 🤔
Shirataki or miracle noodles are really high in a specific type of fiber that can reduce the absorption of certain medications. I know you called it out in your video to check with a dr/ nutritionist but just thought you may like to know that. Fun video as always 🙂
Oh! I’m an empty nester, and I have to say that I just LOVE this stage of my life. My kids live nearby so I’m fortunate enough to be able to see them, but it’s such a different thing that having little kids or teenagers at home. 😊
🌱🌸🌱 Hi, Michelle! I like canned biscuits and casseroles of any kind. The breakfast casserole looks good so I’ll be trying that and the bread pudding, too. I love berries. 🌱🌸🌱
I really enjoyed this video as I always enjoy your videos 🙂 It always feels a little strange trying food items we are not familer with. I am also wondering how satisfying these are after you eat them. Do you feel full, like you ate a satisfying meal, does the feeling last. I wonder what kind of nutritional elements are in the noodles. I will definitely look them up. I had heard that most satisfying meals are made in one thirds. One third protein, one third carbs and one third fats, in calories. It is important to keep the over all calories adjusted to just what the person needs. And, it is not a good idea it seems to stay on keto, low carb, for a long time There are so many different approaches to eating these days. It is fun to try things though!
Wow, I am so excited that you shared these Michelle. I have been missing noodles. These will be amazing for my diabetic diet.
I make recipes using the canned biscuits but never have done a breakfast one, just several chicken recipes. You mentioned something spicy in the eggs, i think those green and red Hatch Chiles in the jar from Trader Joe's that you had on one of your videos would be good. I'm going to try it.
Headed to Walmart tomorrow, going to look for those Miracle Noodles. I am tired of Spaghetti squash being my main PASTA option.
I am now in your new phase of life! Yay
Good evening , Miss Michelle…. I was intrigued by those Noodles, …although, in all honesty I might not eat them, but the premise of those, for certain individuals is intriguing. The pasta shells…no, no such thing as " too much cheese", lol. ..a side salad, with the bread. … perfect Supper or Large lunch . 🙂🍽
I do purchase a few Grocery items from Amazon, one of them being the Colavita diced tomatoes in a carton, there are 4 cartons, and these are great to have on hand …. I've used these for so many things, …believe it or not, I made a great tasting Salsa with some of these, as I was out of Roma tomatoes. I've used them for Tacos, Sloppy Joe sauce, Chili, and of course, spaghetti sauce, ..but these are so convenient , I freeze whatever portion isn't used at the time so I can use it before I open another carton. These have SO much flavour, so wanted to share with you.
Tortilla chips amazon brand. They taste great, and it's a huge bag from less than $4. Takes me a couple of months to eat them.
My husband and I chose to not have children, and since he's a UPS driver, we are fortunate enough with his income that I don't have to work. I have mild autism and I prefer to be home and I love budgeting, taking care of our dogs, and basically being a ww2 housewife. I like to sew and repair things. 🙂 It's nice to be in a place where you can pursue your own interests.
We don't get "biscuit" dough here (I mean we do, but we have a different meaning for the word biscuit). I've heard that American biscuits are like a cross between a scone and a damper roll.I've tried konjak noodles but they are really expensive here too. I really like them, though.
If you replace the brown sugar in the sauce with allulose it would be even lower carb, and allulose actually caramelizes similar to sugar! It’s expensive but worth using for those sensitive to sugar, the taste is the most like sugar than any other sweetener IMO. Great video, I’ve tried those noodles before and didn’t like them, I didn’t prepare them like you did so I’m going to try again. ❤
no, in the Asian grocery, they cost about a $1 per pack and they are kept in the open refrigerated items section and in a clear pack and packed in water…near the tiny anchovies or briny little fishes…dts/usa
I know them as Shiratake noodles…dts/usa
1.39 a pound got 10 total 13.90 total for meat 60.90 enough meat for 6 months cheap shopping 😊
thank you so much for showing us the miracle noodles…I would not have thought to cook in a dry pan…I have boiled like regular noodles and was not impressed…dts/usa
Chicken was 10.40 and hot dogs bun size 1.39
Just buy meat when on sale. Got at Albertson's 20 percent hamburger for 1.83 got 20 for 36.60 with coupon. At aldi chicken drum sticks for 65 cents a pound
looking back at the biscuit casseroles: a very good southern cook (and we use tons of biscuits) on youtube described canned biscuits as a savory, basically flavorless scone–so, if you cook in a savory recipe (your first one), it will basically take on the savory flavors around it; if you cook a biscuit in a sweet recipe (your berry one), and yes, we cook in lots of sweet recipes, you must add some kind of sugar product or sweetner (honey, etc) to make the biscuits take on the flavor of sweetness (because they are basically savory/or flavorless–sort of like noodles)…so, that is why your first recipe was great, but your second recipe felt like it was missing something, flavor wise…dts/usa
Anyone else bothered by that one bit of biscuit left out of the egg mixture? I kept saying "pick it up. There's room in the dish." 😁
cooked shells: you can cook an entire batch in prep and then refreeze in individual portions and then reheat in microwave (and add a little more tomato sauce and parmesan)–great easy meal…dts/usa
Thanks they look great thanks love your videos thanks ❤😊
the fruit casserole would be better if you added some sugar to the berries before incorporating (or brown sugar) and might be better with a simple confectioner's sugar icing on top to spruce it up…dts/usa
you cannot keep canned biscuits for longer than a day or two without cooking them–even if you put in the refrig–once opened, the biscuits quickly get hard and then cannot be cooked well…once the biscuits are cooked, then they will keep for a week or more…dts/usa
Edamame and mung bean noodles are so good and low carb high iron and potassium
For people looking for the "Miracle Noodles", you can also look for Shirataki noodles, which you can often find in the Asian section. They're the same thing as miracle noodles.
On the noodles, you had me rolling on the floor (I rinsed these more than necessary)…it was hilarious…oh, this is so entertaining for me! 🙂 Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN:)
Did you did you bake eggs in toaster oven?
Not possible—to have too much cheese! 🙂 Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN 🙂
AM: that first recipe looks like a winner! 🙂 Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN 🙂
Yes, I’m commenting again. We talked about how hard it is to budget when your kids a little. When I became disabled at 33 our income went down to a fourth of what we were making. I was one of those crazy crazy coupon people, thrifted awesome clothes for my kids. I had no choice. My daughter turns 25 this month, and yesterday she told me that she didn’t understand my Ways when she was little but now she does and is so grateful that I taught them to her. She buys amazing things eats amazing food and does it all on a budget. Feels good when your kids recognize what you’ve done and know that you’ve taught them to do it too😮
Winco has these in my area in wide and spaghetti noodles for $2.57 in the organic produce area by the tofu.
