Title: "15 Minute Dinners"
Me after 15 Minutes: *still peeling my garlic*
Smash it with the side of a kitchen knife. Easy peel, less chopping required!
So relatable
@@daanborrias Any tips for keeping your hands from smelling like garlic for the next 4 days?
@@CT1010101 gloves? Or washing them immediately afterwards, so the oils don't stick to your fingers too long? There's probably better advice out there, tbh
@@daanborrias I tried to do that, and the handle of the knife broke off. So, maybe not try it with cheapo knives.
What makes this for me is the lack of "right" equipment and resources. Watching you smear olive oil because you don't have spray...using olive oil because you don't have neutral...faking the fork....all this encourages me that I don't have do it "right", just do it! Thanks for a terrific vid.
What?
I thought the same thing! He was relaxed and natural, and the results were great!
Why would you use spray? It’s not a bbq
Why would you use a spray? Haha
@@niceboy7457 Spray is very common, he mentions it like 4 times in the video...
Thank you for the useful recipes Mike! I'm a single dad with 2 kids and 2 full time jobs. Putting home cooked meals on the table is extremely difficult to say the least. This helps me from ordering pizza and eating garbage.
You are awesome! Keep up the good work my friend. I wish you have the greatest time cooking for your kids and yourself of course haha :D
Well done Steve, you'll look back on these years and wonder how you did it 🤗, I know I do, and my mum did, she had a full-time job and 5kids to bring up on her own, this was back in the 60s, as soon as she got home she had to start cooking!! So hats off to her, me and you Steve 👍😁😘🙋
Cook enough for a week in big batches. Don't cook every night a different meal. It's not sustainable.
Wow that's awesome always know you are a hero Steve, I'm proud of you
Who watches your kids if you work two jobs?
I made the quesadilla for my wife tonight after a really long day and she loved it. And it was done in under 20 minutes. Before this video I would have said let’s just get takeout, but knowing I’d have an awesome home cooked meal with a recipe already in mind… total game changer. Thank you, Mike!
More males need to cook.
please support my cooking channel also...thank you
You cook for your wife? Is her boyfriend involved?
@@aks1993kumar so because he is a good partner means his wife is cheating? What a sad life you must have with that toxic way of thinking.
@@aks1993kumar
I feel sorry for the woman who has to do everything for you like the useless, oversized baby that you are.
My dad was an executive chef, and he taught me to never leave panhandles sticking off the stove - since someone could inadvertently catapult the hot contents across the room. Just wanted to give a shout-out for kitchen safety.
Noted.
When I was young we had a neighbor with a small child who reached up and grabbed the handle of a pot of boiling water on the stove and flipped it onto herself. She was too young to know much better but she ended up severely burning majority of her body and will live with the disfigurement for the rest of her life. It was heartbreaking and to this day, even though I don’t have children, I never leave a pot handle sticking out.
@@tjohn7174 It is very thoughtful of you to share this story. Hopefully, it can help to illustrate the importance of developing this essential safety habit - and to avoid this kind of heartbreaking injury from happening to others.
cheers to dads
Thank you!
I actually like the "that's just what I have here right now" setup, because that's what most of our kitchens look like
You have a nice kitchen, Conan. Crom must be watching over you
J.p.mail gor
It reminds me of the old brothers green videos.
I have a fork
Same! I’d love to see a video on how to set up a pantry and what are the essential cooking utensils for a pro home cook. Hubby and I are about to move into our first home and I want to put together a grown up kitchen instead of college kid haha
As a tomato lover and homegrower (usually between 30 and 50 tomato plants each summer). I must say my friends are always impressed when I pull off this tomato pasta sauce 🤤 with homegrown tonatoes, herbs, onions and garlic! Easy to grow AND easy to cook 😎
I feel validated having two dozen plants this year. We canned sooooo many tomatoes!
I just made the pasta (it took about an hour since it was my first try at it). And guys… it is GOOD. 10/10 highly recommended. Cooking down the fresh tomatoes is so much better than the stuff in a jar. I cooked some Italian sausage separately and mixed it into the pasta at the end for some added protein. The pasta is delicious with or without the sausage :)
Fry uo the sausage first and use the oil for flavor to fry everything next time
My grandmother taught me to cook. Her #1 rule was “clean as you go”. While something is simmering, frying or boiling, you clean up your work area. 👍❤️
Best advice my mom ever gave me!
Great advice
that's what I also do when I cook for myself, I tried to clean as I go whenever possible. But when I cook for the whole family then I just keep the counter clean and let someone else handle the dishes
If you can lean, you can clean - is my motto
My grandma tried to teach me that growing up. I ignored that advice as a young adult, as she tended to be a neat freak and it annoyed me... Ended up not cooking for a long time, as I dreaded the pile of dishes and mess to clean in the a.m. Then I started working in kitchens, and learned real fast that she was right. Now I'm religious about clean-as-you go, and get hella annoyed at coworkers and roomates that don't do the same.
Tldr: your mom/ grandma was right, listen to her 😂
More quick meals please. It is a public service to encourage working people to feed themselves and/or their family a home cooked meal once in a while.....
Thank you for a great video.
Are you saying most working people don't cook? (No sarcasm)
Amen to that
You find this encourage. Most people who work dont watch this type of videos. This is more for lazy people
Exactly, one of my favorites is tostadas. Is kind of the same salad but on the top of hard shell tortillas, not the one folded, the one unfolded, with a layer of mashed beans. Little cheese... and done. 10 min from start to end.
healthy recipes in 1-2 minutes. this is only available on this channel,
I made the first dish, the pasta, 4 times already since seeing this video. It's literally one of the most flavorful pastas I've eaten! It was so good, I didn't even need any cheesy added. This has become my go-to dinner when I'm lazy but craving some good flavors; it's quick, super affordable, and absolutely delicious!
Seriously, just made it for the first time tonight and it's incredible.
My husband HAD to have some even though he usually rejects meatless dishes. It's a winner, and a great way to get rid of loose tomatoes!
Just did it tonight and I agree, it was awesome and so much more flavorful than it looks on screen.
a little tip by an italian, salt the water when it's boiling before the pasta, unsalted pasta taste not half as good as salted pasta no matter what sauce u add :)
I skipped through the video and noticed the lack of flavour in most dishes. The pasta sauce will be far better by adding a combination of olives, capers, and dried chilli flakes. The noodles need oyster sauce (and veggies were over-cooked). Etc.
Fresh Tomato Marinara Pasta
Ingredients:
16 ounces of the pasta of your choice
1 onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of salt
2 pints of cherry tomatoes
¼ cup of shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup of roughly chopped parsley
Instructions:
Bring a salted pot of water to a boil as well as bring a wide saute pan to a medium heat.
Add oil to the wide saute pan. Once it starts to shimmer, add in the chopped onion and garlic.
When the garlic and onion soften a bit, approx 2 - 3 minutes, add in the cherry tomatoes and top it with the lid. When the water is boiling add in the pasta.
Once the tomatoes are starting to burst, grab a spatula and mash the tomatoes to release the juices. Turn the heat to low, sprinkle in some more salt, and let reduce.
Drain the pasta and add it to the tomato sauce. Pour in ¼ cup of pasta water and toss.
Let the sauce reduce and add in the parmesan cheese. Toss is the parsley along with a little more water and crack of pepper.
Bacon & Veggie Quesadilla
Ingredients:
2 flour tortilla
4 strips of bacon, sliced into chunks
1 tomato, sliced
½ cup of fresh mozzarella
¼ cup of spicy gouda
1 cup of spinach
Instructions:
Heat a large saute pan on medium heat. Drop in the bacon and let that sizzle away.
Once there is enough heat, tilt the pan to “deep fry” the bacon pieces. Take the bacon out and pour out 80% of the fat into a bowl or cup.
With the leftover fat in the pan, add in your spinach and let it wilt away.
In the meantime, prepare the quesadillas. Add mozzarella to the bottom, followed by crispy bacon, the wilted spinach, 2 -3 tomato slices, and some spicy gouda. Fold over and squish.
Pour the reserved fat back into the saute pan and place the quesadilla down. Get one side coated in oil before flipping to coat the otherside in fat.
Fry until golden brown and crispy. While it fries up you can make some avocado crema sauce to go with it or clean up the kitchen a little. Flip and crispify the other side.
Cut in pieces and enjoy!
Avocado Cream
Ingredients:
1 cup of chopped cilantro (with stems)
1/3 cup of yogurt
1 Avocado
1 clove of garlic
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper
Water if needed to thin out
Instructions:
In a food processor, add in chopped cilantro with stems, yogurt, avocado, a garlic clove, juice of a lime, salt, and pepper. Blitz until smooth.
Drizzle in some water to thin out the sauce. Pour into a container and store in the fridge until ready to use.
Thai Noodle Dish

2 eggs
1 package of rice noodles
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
1 teaspoon of rice vinegar
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of fish sauce
1 tablespoon of water
A few leaves of basil
Instructions:
In a medium saute pan, add in 1 - 2 tablespoons of oil.
Once it starts to shimmer add in the onion and pepper. Let soften for 1 - 2 minutes before adding in the chopped garlic and ginger. Cook for another 1 - 2 minutes.
Push all the veggies to one side. Drizzle in some more oil, and crack in the eggs.
Poke the yolk and let one side fry up. Flip to fry the other side and break up the eggs. Combine with the veggies.
Drop in the rice noodles and hit it with sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and water. Toss to combine and soften up the noodles.
Toss in a few sprigs of basil and serve it!
Chicken Wings & Salad
Ingredients:
12 chicken wings
2 tablespoons of flour
1 tablespoons of your favorite spice mix
Pinch of salt
A little bit of oil
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
2 teaspoon of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of dijon mustard
Salt and pepper

Then add in the sliced onion and radish along with tomatoes and gem lettuce.
Toss to combine and serve with the hot crispy wings!
I highly appreciate this! thanks!
No worries!!
I've been in a depressive rut for awhile, I have almost no energy to cook for myself. This video really made me motivated to cook something for myself. Didn't know I needed this today but I definitely did ❤️
Sending you a blast of anti-depression TLC!
Hope today is a better day, and tomorrow perhaps even better.
This helps us people with PTSD!!!! Mind is fried so these make things so simple!
The holy spirit loves you..im glad this video lifted your spirits. Feel better brotha. I know what that feels like. Know you are loved by our Father.💕
Let us know what you made. Maybe start doing a IG or tic tok to show what you make for yourself every day to help you get a routine, and share with others who may have the same situation 💞
PLEASE do more of these, I barely have time to cook and because of that I just end up ordering. Your style of cooking and the meals you create are really in line with how my boyfriend and I eat. I'm so glad CZcams recommended your channel
maybe ur boyfriend should cook then
@@henut2494 maybe you should mind your own business
@@StateofKait :D
@@StateofKait 😂 Well, you felt the need to brief everyone on your relationship status, dynamic and culinary preferences. Not like anyone asked...
@@huntsman145 She literally addressed the content creator, she wasn't briefing anyone
This is really encouraging. So many "quick" recipes online take hours still when you count all the prep time. I've been cooking for the household for years, and it's so time-consuming. Just found this channel, and it's got me excited about cooking again.
I am really trying to overcome my fear of the kitchen and severe anxiety around cooking cooking. Watching these videos to give myself hopefully a safe feeling starting point.
I get so overwhelmed with cooking!
How r u scared of cooking 💀💀
@@palikaur209 I don’t think it’s a fear of cooking, but rather a fear of not getting it right and it not turning out good.
Agreed, that cherry tomato pasta sauce is one of the GOATs for quick lunches / dinners. I pretty much always have some on hand.
also the only fresh tomato I will buy outside of the summer months. They produce really good sweet cherry tomatoes year round in green houses around the world.
Non-verified comment sandwiched between verified channels. V nice (edit: nvm it’s underneath, not in between)
@@ProHomeCooks me too! I only buy cherry tomatoes outside of summer!
Personally, I have allergy on tomatoes and can‘t eat potatoes, eggplant or grapes either. From everything mentiones, cherry tomatoes are the worst (i get skin irritation already from touching them). So, my go-to meal is home made tagliatelle with mushroom sauce and Smetana. Easy, fast and tasty.
I froze a bunch of tomatoes from the garden and have already made and canned a bunch of quarts of marinara. Otherwise, I’m sad in the winter lol
I would definitely be interested in a follow-up with some more 15 minute meals. The more I learn to cook, the more I'm realizing how important it is to have a well stocked pantry and a good selection of fresh ingredients.
Same
This is is so true
Absolutely.
And seemingly how amazingly difficult it is to keep the produce fresh.
@@AbrielMcPierce Soup. Soup soup soup. I know that this video is about 15 min meals, but the BEST use of your produce that's turning is to turn it into a soup stock (or freeze it, then turn it into soup stock), which is INCREDIBLY easy to do. Soup stock can be frozen too, so it's always on hand.
I just want to thank you for giving me the motivation to cook. I don’t have the healthiest relationship with food and cooking is something I do only at knife point. I stumbled upon this video today and immediately went to the grocery store to buy ingredients for my first 15 minutes meal. The first one turned out super good. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to make chicken teriyaki tomorrow and coconut curry and many many more dishes on your channel. Thank you! Could you make a video on a week meal plan? That would be really interesting for people who doesn’t have time to cook everyday.
please please support my cooking channel also...thank you
One of the best and easiest ways to cook is the oven. Americans way under utilize ovens. I am a chef and use it just about daily. Sheet pans and parchment paper are your friends. You don't have to constantly watch like a stove.
For a curry, I'd just throw all veg on a sheet pan with some fat, roast off. Do sauce separate and toss together. Oven cooking is perfect for those who don't like to cook or beginners.
What the above person said, baked dishes are super low effort and hard to mess up, and create less mess. Also...
1. clean as you go, because leaving a mess for the morning will make you stop wanting to cook real fast
2. Learn how to multitask and what order to start the meal, it'll help cut down cooking time so it doesn't seem like such an effort. This takes practice and some basic cooking knowledge, so best to start with meals that dont have a lot of separate steps
3. Start with really basic meals like omlettes, meat and veggies, stews, casseroles, etc. Dont try and be fancy, start with the basics like how to season and cook a good steak or chicken thigh
4. Choose forgiving meats and veggies (chicken thighs or legs are harder to make dry than breasts for example, asparagus is really easy to overcook but not squash, etc.)
5. Never cook on high as a beginner, youll just burn shit. Medium high is the most you need as a beginner (for searing thin meats and veggies quickly). Use mainly medium on stove top (or 350 in an oven). Low (2-4 stovetop) is good for soups and things that need to simmer for awhile.
6. And most importantly, if you mess up and make a bad meal, just try again another day. Like all things it takes practice, view mistakes are a learning opportunity instead of a failure!
Sorry it's so long, hope this helps someone, coming from someone that used to hate to cook, and now does it for a living and at home =)
Every time I try one of your meals my husband is especially appreciative. Just cooked the pasta as I had all of the ingredients on hand and it was super quick, easy and tasty. Love your work Mike!
This is 4 of your Top 10 recipes, you say?? Sounds like you need to make another video with the other 6 recipes! :-D
Thank you! These are going to go into the rotation in my kitchen, for SURE!
I NEED 15 MINUTE EVERYTHING, 15 MINUTE BREAKFAST, 15 MINUTE LUNCH, 15 MINUTE WATER (lolwhut), 15 MINUTE 30 MINUTE MEALS. PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASEEEE
15 minute water borrow some water from the neighbors tap XD
SAMEEEEE AHHHH
💯
Overnight oats has to be one of the easiest and quickest breakfasts there is. Very "customizable" too
Even this video has 15 minutes!
Can't thank you enough for the simple pasta with cherry tomatoes recipe. So much better than jar sauces. It's become one of my go-to dishes for dinner. So easy and so much flavor. Good on ya, Mike. Keep it up.
I’m so glad I found your channel. So many others have so many expensive ingredients and equipment. I just want to cook after a long day of work and not have 100+ dishes to wash afterwards.
I'm all about cleaning up the mess as you go. I freak out when I walk into the kitchen when someone else is cooking and there's pans and ingredients all over the counter lol
Dude seriously!
Absolutely!
I’m a wait and clean kinda cook because I’m always nervous to leave it alone lol
Same! I always clean as i go, the only thing i have to wash up after dinner are plates and cutlery. When i see people leaving everything in a pile near overflowing sink i get anxious.
I cook with my children and don't mind the mess at all. I excell in chaos :D
The noodle stir fry is legit, I know from literally eating the dish this past weekend, and by literally I mean the one on camera.
Goals
Your channel is changing my life! Started cooking at home recently for the first time and these recipes have been a lifesaver! 🤩
I keep coming back to watch these videos. So many great ideas. Most of us don't have hours to prep or get dinner ready on a regular basis, so I love how relatable these videos are!
I like that you have always something for everyone - vegetraians, non-vegetarians, vegans. And your food is always super customizable to one’s liking. Great job! And yes on more quick meals!
@David Davidson LMAO
Honestly vegetraians sounds like an actual diet
Agreed!
And I know it’s tough, but one pan meals would be awesome
@David Davidson Most these convert to GF pretty easily. For pasta, gf noodles are common in stores now, same isle. For quesadilla, use corn tortillas. For stir fry, he's using rice noodles already, and you can use tamari instead of soy sauce (near identical flavor, next to soy sauce at store.) For wings, use a gf flour blend (usually special gf isle) and add tsp of baking powder to help with crispyness. I get it though, finding gf recipes and learning the substitutions can be hard af.
There were no vegan recipes in this video...
The very best pasta dish I ever had was a simple spaghetti bolognese I had in an upstairs restaurant right next to the train station in Rome back in 1990. Halfway through I thought... I hope they take credit cards. They didn't!! It was a family operation, the women cooked and the men were front of house. I used my high school italian to ask 'domani'? Meaning I would pay the next day. They waved us away indicating yes, and then asked if we wanted anything else to eat that night! Amazing. Next day we went back and paid. They took it as normal, not overly effusive or anything. I have never forgotten their commitment to their food and belief in us and also (I imagine) their capacity to write off those who don't come back to pay.) Back to business, I have often wondered why that dish was better than anything I had had in Australia. Now I know, it was using the pasta water.
They have someone who will follow you.
@@bebetigre1252 not back then
Pasta water is the ultimate ingredient in almost all pasta dishes.
for years I pooh-poohed salting pasta water. Now I do it and what a difference it makes!
Real Bolognese sauce is not that simple... it takes a lot of time cooking...
Awesome video! I want that soup dish in the intro with the two half eggs. Makes me want some Japanese Miso soup from Branson, Mo. Yum yum to my tum tum 😋.
I love that you clean up as you go along. Once I learned that trick, I found cooking so much more enjoyable. Thank you for these tips, who can’t use them?
"every home chef needs a few lazy meals"
me: *hot dogs*
PHC: *beautiful buffalo wings AND a salad*
😆I know right his lazy meals are my special occasions/I’m feeling fancy meals.
I get out at 8pm and need quick dinners. Those stir fry, and enchiladas are items I always have in the kitchen. You have motivated me with the right dinners! More cooking! Less fast food!
That first pasta dish has become my go to for tomato based pasta. I'll never use a jar of sauce for weeknight pasta ever again.
Gotta say- your show has made me braver and more confident in the kitchen. Made cacio e pepe from scratch the other day- after work- and it rocked!
👍👍👍
Same here! I love this channel! Hats off to the chef, and to you Tracy!
I’ve been binging on your quick meal and freezable meal videos. I am disabled and cannot stand long in the kitchen while cooking without being in pain. These recipes are a lifesaver along with the freezable meal videos as they also help save time and don’t require me to stand for long periods of time everyday. A lot of us need to save time, some of us need to save ourselves and our bodies. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much videos like this make it easier. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. Have a great day! 🥰❤️
Get an office chair with wheels on it for your kitchen and do the prep at the table.
I set a bar stool where I'll spend the most time chopping or stirring.
This is me too. I subscribed because of this comment! 👍🏼💕
You can put a chair in the kitchen
@Sara O, I have chronic pain so frozen meals are great for days when the pain is too much for cooking dinner.
Thank you for all that you do. I know you invest a lot in your time, money and resources. I’m a teacher for high school sped chemistry students and I appreciate this so much. Making dinner tonight and also my next days lunches with your recipes. Just amazing!!!!!!
I was a professional cook for years and i love you! You're my favorite and I tell all my friends about you. I dig your style. Thank you!!
Adding a can of Cannellini beans to the pasta and tomato sauce will add fiber and protein. This would be more satisfying and last longer in your belly.
Yeah pasta with tomato sauce isn't a very complete meal.
easy way to extend to more portions too. I hope he'll do a show making the quick polenta now on the market (superfine) it cooks in abt 5 minutes all it needs is seasoning and a protein to go over it and a green. Sooo delicious. It s my go-to way to use leftover cooked meats, stews, braises. etc. Yummy simply with a fried egg too.
I make spaghetti sauce with lentils.
@@toodie535 We just call them grits 😂 and yes, they go with everything
I love that you said "thank you" when grabbing the eggs, super sweet and humbling... :)
I make the same pasta dish at home all the time except I use shallots instead of the onions, add lemon juice, and linguini. Love how you can transform these simple dishes.
adding an anchovie filet would have made the pasta dish outstanding. (and a few chili flakes!)
I am 25 now and I cook almost daily for about 8 years now. There is a lot of cooking stuff online but the bangers are those that you can put out on a daily basis.
So great Video!
Got any go to recipes you want to share?
@@thinking7667 I just watch a lot of stuff online and find my own recipies.
I have a 200+ video playlist (czcams.com/play/PLlYrpf2_CqUvYDbPYRKOS8KBiX-2pomQk.html)
Some is in german but I hope you can find somoething.
PS: pls don t ban my comment for the link
Been doing the pasta for years, and got it down to 10 mins. My tips:
1) Fill your kettle & boil. It's faster than boiling a full pan of water. While the kettle is boiling have your pasta pan preheating with a enough water just to cover the bottom.
2) While kettle is boiling & pans preheating, quickly dice onion & garlic. If you have a hand held pulley dicer $8 from Kmart, it makes it really quick & easy.
3) I use a passata base, or tin of diced tomatoes. Some tinned tomato already come with herbs & nothing else added - always check the ingredients, some have added salt. Passata or tinned tomato are also already broken down. Obviously not as yummy as cherry tomatoes, but where I live, cherry tomatoes are $$ and you can keep toned tomatoes/passata in the cupboard for using anytime.
😇 Say no to pasta sauce in a jar people!
what's a "Kmart?"
@@MrTaxiRob It's a grocery store
Would love to see a 15 min dinner high protein edition! Awesome work
Open a tin of tuna and add it to the sauce. You’ll be amazed!
You can use protein pasta - made from chickpeas!
just shared this with my two daughters and my two daughters in-law...... Well done!!!
I was in a panic for dinner on the hectic day I watched this. By chance, I happened to have everything in the kitchen so I decided to make it. The tomato pasta was sooooo good. My three boys devoured it, and even thanked me for making dinner! Thanks for the practical recipes and encouragement. You can definitely get an amazing meal on the table in 15 min.
This is the content that sets you apart from other cooking channels. Accessible recipes, clear explanations and just getting scrappy with it! Keep it up
My Mama has always taught me to “clean while you cook”. I’m So Thankful For That💖
Thanks so much. I was feeling very blah about cooking. (I cook most nights and it’s just become a lot). Your little pep talk at the beginning made me feel better about my efforts 🥺
I proceeded to make your pasta with the ingredients in my fridge and enjoying a new pasta dish! Never had this creamy of pasta before. 😋
Thank you so much! 👩🏻🍳
Definitly give us more of these 15 min dishes! Really amazing work and well done
I’ve made the pasta before with basil instead of parsley, it’s a go-to and favorite! Highly recommend adding some white wine to the sauce!👌🏼
Many possible variations
Love your channel, Man! I love to cook and I appreciate all these ideas, concepts and lessons. Planning my garden now and putting in some cherry or grape tomato plants for sure!
You're so encouraging! Great meals, great tips, thank you.
So happy watching how much this channel has evolved over the last several years. Proud of everything you've accomplished Mike. I will never forget Brother's Green though....Congrats on the new set!
Brothers Green is the OG of just cook channels. And even as the field crowds up it can only be good for the cook at home community.
That was super helpful. I have an infant and wife to feed every day. I've prepared a ton of frozen meals, but sometimes reheating them thoroughly can even take about 15 min. These are great options to use up what's on hand or needs to be eaten. More of this kind of stuff please!
So you cook everyday for your family ? That's wonderful, and i envy so much your wife. So neat! :D
wow. life changing way to fry up those quesadillas.... that extra bit of oil makes them so crunchy and carmelized on the outside!! i used my carbon steel pan...and to die for. thank you so much.
Yup this hit the spot. Thank you !
Kudos on keeping the lost art of 'cleaning as you go' alive; it's how I learned to manage my kitchen as a kid in 7th grade Home Ec and it really makes a difference. (I'm still having a hard time getting my wife to follow, though!)
Lmao my girl cant follow the leader either when it comes to cleaning as you go
Reminds me of when I had a Christmas dinner in France and afterwards there was almost no mess. I was amazed but it did inspire me to try clean as you go.
please support my cooking channel also.thank you
Lol same
I'm so glad you've upgraded and achieved more success but the lack of tools really brought us all back to that little kitchen. #BrothersGreen
teach me how to do it WITHOUt tools that I don't have like a $400 mixer and I might learn that I need that mixer. 90% of your viewers have disposable income but everyone loves seeing food made from scratch scratch
I made the pasta and quesadilla so far with the avocado crema, so delicious! I love these simple recipes and I am learning so much about how to use what I have in the kitchen that usually goes to waste. Thanks!
The simple sauce in the beginning has ended up being one of my go-tos and it is so tasty. Love it!
I definitely want more of these "quick and easy" dinner recipes. Thanks Mike! It does take longer than 15 minutes for a novice cook to whip up these meals but at least I won't be in the kitchen the whole night cooking and cleaning just to make a meal.
I'm a student, and I have a full package of cherry tomatoes that I hadn't done anything with all week, I'll have to hurry now not to lose them, so this has come at the perfect time!!
same!! Doing this tonight. Have cherry tomatoes in the fridge and didn't know what to do with it
@@samkc3423 it was super delicious!! Idk if it was the pasta water or what, but I loved it. Will definitely be buying cherry tomatoes instead of sauce when I crave pasta next time. Enjoy!
Oh my goodness! Everything looks amazing!
The ease that you used the unit of measure "per dia" was so flawless.
I loved these. I work a TON. And we usually are doing frozen pizza, fast food, or spaghetti-Os. While my husband is very picky and doesn't eat hardly any veggies, I crave some home cooked fresh meals. I usually cut corners by buying rotisserie chicken or canned sauses, but you have inspired me to try to look beyond that! I'd love more meals to keep in mind for those days I can cook.
cherry tomatos are extremely expensive and quite hard to get here in venezuela, i replace them with normal italian tomatos (the long ones, are cheap and year round available) dice them big and stir fri them with a bit of vinegar and sugar to cheat the flavor profile, my mother and brother like to blend them after for quick creamy tomato sauce i like them rough
I know what you mean. Here in South Africa, it's just as pricey, I always have, tomato puree on hand.
Roma tomatoes might be the next best thing to cherry tomatoes. They have a good strong flavor and they are relatively small in size.
So true. On the east coast of the USA in the Bidet economy, cherry tomatoes are $5 American for a pint ( about 1 1/2 cups), but looking at this home and subs on the channel, tax deductible meals are what’s happening. Romas as you described would do just as well. ☝🏼
Hey I´m also from Venezuela and let me be honest, I´ve never seen cherry tomatoes before, my dad always cooked with regular tomatoes and he rocked it everytime
@@quietmadness1768 mid terms can't get here soon enough
Looks delicious!!! wonderful. Thanks.
deff gonna try the quesa
Mike: "Let me know if you want more 15 minute recipes."
Me: MOAR PLEASE :)
All kidding aside, great video, I think I'll give a few of these a try. Thanks!
I love that you thanked the chickens for the eggs. I always thank the rosemary plant as I clip a bit off. (The rosemary plant is the only food I have on the property - I live in an apartment with tiny windows facing the wrong way so I cannot even grow basil or mint on a windowsill.)
Anyway, these all looked good. I also like that you mentioned multi-tasking - I also dislike a huge pile of dishes after cooking, and doing some of the dishes and cleaning while something roasts or sears or boils is such a help.
Thanks again for thanking the chickens.
I just want to cry I am so happy I found your channel I can make these beautiful meals for myself and this is the kind of food I love to eat thank you
Thank you! great video 👍 love short dinner ideas!
I’m making the tomato sauce from the first clip. I’m waiting for the tomatoes to pop so I can smush and finish it off. It smells so freaking good. I can’t believe I’ve never made this or even seen this made before. I can not wait!
Edit: omg it’s so good thank you for this!
Sounds delicious…. Will definitely try again
I loved you easy meals. I really like the way you keep homemade & freshness in them. look forward to more of your easy meals in this fast paced life we live in. more time to do other things. Bless You❤
I'm shocked that anyone would think that kitchen needs remodeling. It's beautiful!
I was thinking the same thing. The all white kitchen is gorgeous. Minimal and clean looking. But I like everything hidden away.
But if you can, everyone should have their version of a dream kitchen.
The other question is will it add to the value of your home when you sell it one day.
A bit echo- y. Also, he has a brand, so has to use all his tools at his disposal to further that
But I agree. It's a lovely kitchen.
@@keric3730 True. I LOVE the kitchen, but then again, Mike has his own style. I have been dreaming about how to transform mine to have the open shelving and easy-access-to-tools that he has talked about - fermentation area, organized spice area, etc. I predict a new blend of styles we can call his will transform serious home cook kitchens in the next 10 years. :)
Thank you! You have no idea how much I need these kind of recipes right now. Please keep them coming.
Ditto
This is awesome, thank you for sharing! I’m going to try all these! 😊
I've done the first one (pasta recipe) and it is a game changer. Definitely staying with me for a looong time. Sauce was creamy, rich and delicious! 😇
This is really smart. My favourite thing about all of these is that it’s perfect for when someone drops by, and you can whip it up in no time. Well done, Mike!
I would love to see more of these.
lol ppppooo look ok
honestly, air fryer wings with flour just makes it soggier. I've made my air fryer wings without flour and it turns out better every single time, the skin gets crispy and delicious without worrying about the breading ruining the skin texture. the rough skin also holds plenty of sauce once you toss it in butter and frank's, and you can also add more seasoning directly to the chicken to give it char.
I totally agree with you, I never use flour on my wings because I love that crispy skin!
I love coating mine in oil and seasonings, then air frying them and tossing them in whatever sauce I feel like, normally butter and Louisiana hot sauce. Gloriously crispy, minimal effort, and SO good.
Loved them!!! ❤ Please give us more! 🙏🏽
Love these quick meal ideas, fresh healthy food without hours in the kitchen, please more videos like this ♥️
Love how efficient you are in the kitchen. Part of the reason i've been put off by cooking is the cleaning afterwards, but you incorporate it into the whole process when you have time, I love it!
Taking the time to prep all of your veggies first before you even heat the pan will allow you to clean as you go. In French it is called mise en place, or getting everything in place. It makes a huge difference! Happy cooking!
I generally avoid recipes where I have to prep all the vegetables first. “Mise en place” translates to “washing all those little dishes is someone else’s problem”.
@@dressmaking oh. I don’t use a bunch of little dishes. I just make little piles on my cutting board that I scrape in when I need it. The only time I use a little dish is when I am measuring spices, but they all go in the same dish.
Yes please post more of these videos!! As a college student, I’m really trying to find quick, nutritious, and good tasting food that won’t break my wallet. This was great!
Well done for coming up with home made quick meals. It beats anything readymade. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video! I can’t wait to make this stuff
I have definitely upped my easy cooking game having watched for several years. I have a tendency to over complicate and you always demonstrate how easy it can be! More please!!
I love it. Even though I'm learning to enjoy cooking - it takes me ages to get it on the table. I'd love to see more of these 15 minute meals. 😁
Practice gets you there more confidently, I've been "confident" enough to forget a step/Ingredient a time or two lol, still...it's experience. I'm loving my food so much a restaurant meal is a disappointment now, so it's all about the engagement of the people I go with. 😁
Thank you for all these recipes!!!!
I like how he shows you an ingredient and he says but you know what , you can use this also ..
which makes his videos so useful.
I'm a uni student with not really much time to cook so I would love more of these vids!
Loved this video! I’ve been struggling with making meals because they either take too long after I get home from work, or I just don’t want to cook the same things over and over again. Would love to see another one of these types of videos! Thanks!
Thank you for some wonderful cooking lessons all in such a short amount of time. It's a pleasure to learn from you and to watch you cook. You also instill a sense of confidence in the viewer, and I love the how you teach making wonderfully balanced and healthy meals in this video. Subscribed!!!
This was great! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
I’ve been making a lot of “stir fry” style meals lately, this was a great source of inspiration to branch out with a quick meal. Thank you!
Thank you! I am seeing a trend of using Cherry Tomatoes for a quick pasta sauce and that makes sense. Can't tell you how many times we buy cherry tomatoes and eat 1/2 and the other 1/2 goes to waste. Enjoyed watching the video and inspired me to make even more dishes when I am tired. I have to begin to stock the right FRESH foods and actually use them!
