I made enchiladas last week that turned out really good, but would horrify a Latino grandmother. I created a sauce out of coconut water, apricot habanero jam, mild salsa, taco seasoning, and agave syrup to tone down the heat. I filled the flour tortillas with cheese and left-over Mexican rice. I was very surprised by how good it turned out. My pantry challenge has been on-going for about four months and I only buy the absolute basic fresh ingredients to make this work. I am getting down to the bare bones of items that I have to use up. Continue to have lots of fun. My best advice for doing a food challenge is to not be afraid to push your creativity and see what happens. If it epically fails, you can always get take-out and laugh at the mistake.
That blended oatmeal is a great idea for my kindergartener's breakfast or after-school snack, I can sell it as a 'cake' to him, and sweeten it a bit more with dates. Excited to try it.
I love watching your channel. You always have good ideas and give great instructions, and you have a great personality! Your meals look so great and I feel I’m going to give them a try, thank you!
I love seeing how you cook for 2…and slightly jealous of your leftovers 😂 I have 3 teenage boys so I cook a TON! I truly enjoy seeing the way you use spice; spicy things are greatly enjoyed here (we are in the southwest so all the spicy things all the time!). You’ve inspired me to put jambalaya on the menu for next week 😃
Look up sheet pan pancakes. You can use blended oats for the wheat flour. Pancake texture but oatmeal goodness. Plus you can swirl in fruit sauce or jelly prior to cooking for sweetness.
I feel the same about smoothies! That is my go to breakfast with frozen fruit. When it was -28 here is Laramie I just couldn't drink a frozen drink! But this week I am back to some smoothies. Great video!
I am on day 2 of my pantry challenge. We were lucky enough to be in the Caribbean during the crazy cold front, so I'm just getting started! Really enjoying the relaxing feel of your videos. I wish I had a freeze dryer--goals!
Weeeeeek 3 ???? Morgan !! How does this time fly by so fast ?? Hope you're staying warm out there, young one, nothing better than a bit o elk to warm the belly. Fist bumps from Canada :)
I actually use steel cut oats, and I don't think I will ever try rolled oats in baked oatmeal. I find that steel cut oats actually make it so that you get full but you won't feel like you ate too much because the steel cut for me are not as dense.
My husband & I made …homemade canned chicken drumsticks w/ biscuits & chicken gravy(using the chicken gel & liquid from the canned jars! So delish! Homemade biscuits too! 2 days of leftovers…😋yum in the tum!
Your meals always looks delicious! Look at that Hubby of Yours helping out~ LOVE! Q: (haven't cooked much with okra) ~ did it make your dish slimpy??? WOW...what an innovative way to think about oat meal. How did it taste prewarmed? So am going to freeze mushrooms~ never thought of this before. that pizza looked so Mouth watering 🤤.... Thank you
Thank you so much! I am so lucky how helpful he is especially in the kitchen! I find garden okra is much much less slimy! The oats are wonderful, I love them! Thank you so much for being here! 😊
Walking into the house when a crock pot meal is on the go always smells so good!
I couldn’t agree more 😊
Your videos are so iniviting and calming I feel so many other CZcamsrs are high strung. Your videos make me feel so happy and peaceful. Thank you! ❤🫶🤍
Thank you so much!! 😊

That is such a great idea! I hope he enjoys! 😊
Pam says- From the South- congratulations the jambalaya you made is gumbo. 😁 😎
Haha I know but was still super yummy 😊
I definitely want to try your version of the baked oatmeal. So many great ideas. That smoothie sounds delicious.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy! 😊
Thanks!

Thank you so much I really appreciate it! 😊
I love your ideas and plowing through this pantry challenge with such style and grace.
You are so kind. Thanks so much! 😊
For a crispy crust use a pizza stone.
We don’t have one but have found this method makes a perfectly crispy crust!
The tomato powder from the seeds and skins is great when you need tomato 🍅 flavoring in a dish.
So good!
I just recently found your channel and am really enjoying it. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your prep and meals.
We are so happy you are here! Thank you! 😊
Made your jambalaya and just put the baked oatmeal in the oven. I amended that one slightly. Thanks for sharing your meals!
That is amazing, I hope you’re enjoying 😊
First time watching your video. I subscribed and look forward to going back and watching more.
Thank you for being here and welcome! 😊

Oh my gosh, feeding 3 teenage boys has to be a near full time job but is also such a blessing! Enjoy! 😊
I do the same with mushroom's! I buy them on sale. That way we don't have to eat the canned mushrooms.
I love it! 😊

Sounds amazing! We will have to give that a try thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Try blending up more oats and make oat flour muffins . You can freeze and reheat or just thaw and go .
Great idea! Thank you for the tip! 😊

You're welcome.
Congratulations on 2 weeks of a successful pantry challenge 🎉🎉
Thank you!! 😊
Dog treats are so expensive and full of bad ingredients. It’s so smart to freeze dry the pumpkins to make your own!
So true! Thank you! 😊
Agreed with baked oatmeal!!! Soooo glad I found your channel! Hello and thanks from Palm Bay Florida… originally from Vermont!
So glad I’m not alone on the baked oatmeal! Thank you so much for being here! 😊

My favourite thing I did from this year . I def need to do much more this season 😊
Are the goats working out as pack animals? I enjoy your tips as the pantry can be an easy thing to overlook
Thank you! The goats are pack animals you are correct! 😊
I am wondering why I never thought of making orange julius!! I am so excited!! Thanks for the idea.
Awe good! I hope you enjoy! 😊
Elk Quesadillas oh my that sounds wonderful!!
Thank you! We love them!
Thank you for the pepperoni tip!
You are so welcome! 😊
I feel the same about smoothies! That is my go to breakfast with frozen fruit. When it was -28 here is Laramie I just couldn't drink a frozen drink! But this week I am back to some smoothies. Great video!
Thank you so much! 😊 you are spot on, way too cold for a smoothie in those temps!
I am on day 2 of my pantry challenge. We were lucky enough to be in the Caribbean during the crazy cold front, so I'm just getting started! Really enjoying the relaxing feel of your videos. I wish I had a freeze dryer--goals!
Thank you so much! I hope you had an amazing time in the Caribbean and best of luck and have fun with the pantry challenge! 😊
@@TheWyomingHomestead I'm finding I want to cook everything. It's amazing how you see meals everywhere when you start going through all the pantries!
I enjoyed your video!
I started making flour tortillas about a year ago, for our dishes.
You might enjoy making them too. They are very easy to make.
Thank you so much! I have made them in the past but didn’t love them. I would love your recipe if you’re willing to share! 😊
Weeeeeek 3 ???? Morgan !! How does this time fly by so fast ?? Hope you're staying warm out there, young one, nothing better than a bit o elk to warm the belly. Fist bumps from Canada :)
I feel the same way, can’t believe February is almost upon us! Thank you so much for your continued support, stay warm 😊
Are those glass dishes that you use from Costco? If they are, that would be a total game changer for me. I had no idea they could go in the oven!
Yes! Double check what you buy but usually the Pyrex containers are oven safe!
Huh,I learn something new everyday😂😂👍🏻
I actually use steel cut oats, and I don't think I will ever try rolled oats in baked oatmeal. I find that steel cut oats actually make it so that you get full but you won't feel like you ate too much because the steel cut for me are not as dense.
That’s awesome! We might have to try that but for now, this was the perfect solution! 😊
My husband & I made …homemade canned chicken drumsticks w/ biscuits & chicken gravy(using the chicken gel & liquid from the canned jars! So delish! Homemade biscuits too! 2 days of leftovers…😋yum in the tum!
Small salad also!
Wow!! That sounds incredible!!! And you get leftovers, that’s an even bigger win to get to enjoy that yummy meal a few times! 😊

Thank you! Maybe I need to grow our okra . Yours looked a little redder than most. Need to checkout that variety. @@TheWyomingHomestead
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you! 😊
Pumpkin can really bind your dogs’ digestion. We use it for the opposite problem, iykwim. Just be careful of volume.
Oh 100% they just get them as treats 😊
Try adding baking powder to the baked oatmeal? Should lighten it up more.
Great idea, thank you for the suggestion!
Just fd 6 pumpkins meat and have 12 more to go.
Do you have kids
No kids yet. For now it is the two of us but we do have little kids in the family 😊
