  • We have 5 meals to share with you guys this week! Well, 4 if you don't count the one where I went for takeout. If you're new to our channel, back in January of this year we participated in a Pantry Challenge Collaboration - where you basically don't go grocery shopping, and you cook all your meals from what you already have stored away. The videos were really fun to shoot and edit, so after the month was over - we kept them going. These video aren't intended to be how-to recipe videos, but more of an inspiration video for you to leverage our ideas in your own kitchen. Cooking should be easy and fun, and it can be a great way to bring a couple together to work on a common goal. We hope these videos inspire you in some way ♥
    00:00 Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa
    05:20 Ground Beef Fried Rice
    10:10 Grilled BBQ Shrimp with Crispy Potatoes
    16:18 Coney Dogs
    17:40 Jambalaya with Andouille sausage

    With fried rice, we always sauté eggs separately first, and if there are any veggies or meat that has a lot of moisture, we also sauté those first to evaporated the water. We always put rice in last and break that down in its own and add the other ingredients last to mix. Hot hot hot cast iron pan is also key to not have mushy fried rice

    When you cook fried rice you fry the egg with the cold rice. Then add the rest of your ingredients that don’t take too long to cook😉

    Evening. You should try Simmering your Green beans in butter to tenderize them... But here is a twist. Savory Herb and salt and pepper its what i do here. However unless you grow Savory herb it is hard to get your hands on... but its yummy.

    I always cook my egg first, then brown my chicken or pork really well, put aside, then whatever veg ur using.Then fry the rice alone in butter , it takes awhile for it to be good. You want a little crunch to it. Then add everything together and toss. I always make sure I have green onion. Small sweet pepper, and grated carrot. Lastly add a swirl of soya sauce roughly 4-6 tbsp and about a tbsp of oyster sauce. And a bit of sesame oil😋

    Ah chili dogs love them, and yes you can eat them for lunch and then dinner or anytime. ! You have me wanting them, I love with an addition of sauerkraut sometimes . If I didn't already have meatballs and sauce in the crockpot for spaghetti - We would be having chili dogs and coleslaw. Tomorrow dinner for sure!

  • @710LENNY
    @710LENNY Před 2 lety +1

    Your ground beef - did you use lean ground beef? It tends to be hard and unappetizing. One remedy is to use medium fat ground beef and cook it off a bit, then can. Yes, you end up with some fat in the jar, but you're saving bacon grease aren't you? A much more tender end product.

    Oh my. Now I am craving a good Chili dog like none other. Where I grew up in Northern MN, we had a carhop type place that had the best chili dogs but was only open May to September. If it wasn't a 5 hour drive, I'd probably head up there as soon as they opened. lol You all have the best meals. Homey and yet different in some ways. I love it. Nothing like home cooking, but dang it sometimes a Chili dog is just worth it. Have a fantastic week!

My husband used to have to go away to repair Medical Equipment & would be away for about 4 days- Man Oh Man !! I ate anything I wanted.

    I'm a little late on the watch party to these dinner vlogs, sorry, but better late than never! 😊 I've been watching and have to say Todd, that you mostly seem to always drink from a tumbler, maybe your favorite one?? Reminds me of good ole' uncle Sal from the Duck Dynasty show 😂He always drank from a favorite tumbler too AND he had a long beard as well! Maybe you're related? 😊 Anyhoo, I love pork loin dinners! My late hubby used to cook them in this Ronko rotisserie we had and he'd put Jasmine rice on the side. I always put soy sauce on my dish and he'd always just put butter on his rice. It was one of our weekly favorite meals. Thanks for sharing!

      I actually have about 5 of those same cups. They came from walmart years ago for like $1 each - funny part is they were Duck Dynasty cups. They were mostly camo and each one had a different character from the show on them. I've used them so much, most of the print has worn off.

    Some very good-looking meals. I thought it was funny how you ordered the chili dogs with no onions and then you cut up a lot of onions for the jambalaya. lol
