    I need to start doing this more. I have two deep freezers full of food, and I’m so sick of spending money every week on food, with how expensive everything is right now. Thanks for the ideas, everything looks great.

      Yes! You totally should!! It’s fun!

      I need to do this too! I have SOOO much food that I need to use up. We have a large chest freezer, a small chest freezer, and the little freezer on the fridge unit. I also have so many pantry items. I'm trying to see how long in May we can go without a trip to the store. 😅

    Very nice ways of using up your pantry items, and that’s so nice that you are showing your young sons how to do some cooking prep….one day they will be cooking on their own and it’s good to be teaching them those skills!

    I noticed that my shopping habits changed after my pantry/ freezer challenge. It’s taught me to meal plan with what I already have. I’m planning to do another one this summer.

    I love Trader Joe's pot stickers. I make a soup with pot stickers, bok choy, other veggies on hand with beef or veggie broth, garlic. Yummy. The stir fry dish looks good.

    Terrific meals! I wish there was a CZcams channel like yours when my kids were little.

    You have inspired me to take inventory and use what I have before going to the store. I did my freezers that had so much in them and write down some meal ideas next to the item to help plan. 😄

    These meals look so delicious and healthy as well! Love the boys "in your business" and your less than perfect floor😀. You've shown why a well stocked pantry and freezer is important. I also pick up meat when it is marked down so I always have something I can use.

    • @MealsWithMaria
      @MealsWithMaria  Před 2 měsíci +1

      That’s awesome! I’m happy to show the real life situations, too much curated stuff on the internet these days.

    I had regular ramen (the 30 cent pack) for dinner tonight. Nothing wrong with that.

  • @ariel1858
    @ariel1858 Před 2 měsíci

    All of your viedos help me out to think of different ways to make the different cuts of meat and even some of the veggies I love!❤ Now, just an FYI how to cut an avocado the worst way was learning to slice it while still in the peel. I hated, the way and texture felt and had to find a new to make it pretty as I say😂!

  • @jillgott6567

    Great meals ! I love that the boys are interested in cooking. Boy have they grown !

    Pour a little boiling water over the salmon skin and it will peel right off using a paper towel.

  • @christophervogt7456
    @christophervogt7456 Před 2 měsíci

    Looks great Maria! I've been trying to use what I have in the pantry & freezer so I can rotate my stock. Always good to have food on hand, especially during those times when money is a bit tight!

    You're always working hard for us... and looking good while doing it :-) Thanks for the inspiration!

    I have the plastic avocado tool and I agree, it's not always the best! I have learned too though, if your Avocados are ripe (I'm soo amazed that you had such PERFECTLY ripe ones!! Mine almost always seem to be just over 😅) you can actually just peel off the peel and it comes off so easy and the inside keeps it's shape so you can slice after!

    Have Julian put the flat side of the vegetable he’s cutting down on the cutting board. It’s much safer. My grands love those plastic knives.

    My conundrum about pantry challenge is the lack of fruits (especially since my kids don't eat much veggies). Do you have any tips or ideas?

    • @MealsWithMaria
      @MealsWithMaria  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Here are my solutions for the fruit issue. I also understand they might not work for everyone. I often have oranges and apples that tend to be the stragglers so I push those and it’s a good way to use them up before they go bad. I also rely on frozen fruit over yogurt or just with a spoon or in oatmeal. Same with canned fruit. Smoothies are also a good way to use frozen fruit. I always cut off any bites of fruit that’s half eaten and freeze it for smoothies so we don’t waste.
