WHAT’S FOR DINNER? easy meals when I’m cooking for one
Welcome back! ❤😊
Thank you! It feels good to be back :)
I love all your videos!
First time watching and loved what you presented. I made stuffed peppers for supper and only used part of the tomato paste. I put in the fridge knowing I wouldn't use it up but since I just watched this - I scooped out spoonfuls for the freezer. I will use them up now. Thanks for sharing this.
Obviously that Kohlrabi has probably been gone for a long time but just to let you know one thing I always do is slice them thin and fry them like potato chips. They're absolutely delicious. As a matter of fact I grow them in my garden just to make this special treat. I'm not saying there any more nutritious than a regular potato chip but they are much better in my opinion
If Karbach is local to you, I don’t believe you are too far from me. I’m on Lake Livingston. :)
Delicious! I’d probably just spoon the brownies into my mouth. 🤣
Hey that wouldn’t have been a bad solution either 🤣
@@thecozycosm your desert rescue was brilliant!
How kind of you to cook for a coworker. 🙏🏻
I spy the HEB brand. Hello fellow Texan :)
Yes! Love HEB!!
I’m such a dork, why didn’t I ever think to use the little bins to organize my vegetables?
It’s such a nice way to corral things!
I’m on a 3 month pantry challenge, so I’ll take all the ideas I can get! New subscriber!
3 months. Wow! Love that! Any particularly tricky items you need to figure out how to use up?
You have quite a variety, I think this is really good to do. I know myself that unless I force it, I just buy what I meal plan and forget about things I already have
Thanks, Larissa! You are not at all alone! It’s so tempting to do. I definitely try to look at what I have first, then meal plan. But it definitely takes practice. What do you have in your kitchen right now that you want to use up?! 😊
@@thecozycosm black wild rice, and I have made a couple soups but hubby and kids don’t really care for soup
Ooh I’ve never tried black rice! Grain bowls are another good meal and easy way to use up anything you have!
In today's video, I am showing you what we got in our monthly meat subscription box! Switching from standard grocery store meat to local, sustainably raised meat has been an investment, and I know it is not for everyone. With that said, I can't say enough good things about our experiences with 1915 Farm! If you live in Texas, their box ships free to you each month! I encourage you to check them out, or if you live in another state, take a look and see what local farmers you can support! I would love to know- would you consider getting a meat subscription or supporting a local farm? Drop your responses below!
You can make cranberry muffins with egg, half and half, cranberry sauce. Freeze whole freezer. Make a soft bread spread out of any small amounts of cheese( soft, hard, slice it does not matter! Google Jacque Peppin he showed you how. Very easy!!! You can use spread on chicken, as appetizers etc! You can also make an Italian bread salad with the tomato, cucumber any olives, green onion( white part- save green part for other dishes).
Love these. All great ideas!
Hi there! I am here from the Instagram grocery group. I stopped by to show you some love and support! I think it’s excellent that you do meal prep and planning! It’s also a great idea to use what you already have before purchasing new grocery items! I have subscribed and would love to connect here on UA-cam too!
Hi Sherrelle! Thanks for reaching out and for watching! I just subscribed to you too. Hope you’re having a good night! -Hope
Back in the eighties and nineties and early 2000 I was a stay-at-home mom and I was a extreme couponer my basement looked like a mini grocery store but I did share with friends and family.
Lk27 wow very awesome and amazing shareing 👌 stay blessed and safe have a nice day stay connected thank you
So glad you’re back!
More cooking from the pantry, grocery hauls, budget challenges and what I eat in a day.
Hi Amy! I am so glad to be back! Yes, all my favorite kinds of videos! I actually have a haul going up later this week on Thursday. :)
It’s my intention not to go to the grocery store until March 1. I’ll need to use nonfat dry milk, egg substitutes, and canned and frozen vegetables until then, but I think I can do it. I’m certain I’ll be dying for a salad by the end of February, but my freezer is stuffed, and I am determined to succeed.
Yes, you will absolutely succeed! It is so satisfying to find new ways to use up items you already have! Would love to know any creative new things you try out! :)
Welcome to today's video! Thank y'all so much for being here. After taking a break through a very busy wedding & holiday season, I am excited to be back with a pantry challenge video! In this video, I spend the week making meals for myself using only what I already have in my fridge and pantry. Let's see if I can do it! :)
try lightly tossing your green beans in olive oil and air fryer them, yum or steam them then separately saute onion and bacon till tender then toss together cook till done, yummy
That's a good idea! I think you are right- I need to switch it up and add a new flavor in with the green beans so they don't feel like the same old thing :)
I need to use up frozen spiral spaghetti squash. I have no idea how to cook it. Normally I just roast a spaghetti squash in the oven with olive oil, salt, pepper, & garlic, or if it’s any other type of squash, I just use it in a stir fry…. but I have no idea what to do with that frozen spiral spaghetti squash. Help!!! We are doing a pantry challenge now in January & I’ve no idea what to do with that.
Ah, I am so sorry I am just seeing this! My notifications have been so iffy lately. I agree, I think after thawing it out, using it in a casserole or baked pasta dish would be so good. I wonder if you could do a cheesy sauce, the spaghetti squash, throw in whatever veggies you have on hand, and then either chicken or ham. Or would love to know if you already tried something else!
I absolutely love your kitty!!! Can you please remind me of her name?
She is Dora! Thank you so much. She’s such a sweetie 🥰
I feel like you did an amazing job! I don’t think the rotisserie chicken was a fail. Great job!
I really loved your idea on freezing the tomatoe paste!
Love these!
Hi Amy! Thank you 😊 filming them definitely makes the work day more fun.
Just found you and enjoying your vlogs. (One thing I noticed…. You have a very soft voice, no problem, but then when you add music that is very loud so I’m needing to keep changing the volume which is a little irritating when I’m cooking in the kitchen (when I mostly watch vlogs) and my hands may be messy. I have to wash and dry them before I can turn the music volume down.) 🥰🥰
Thanks for the feedback, Debi! I’ll definitely consider that when I’m adding in sections with music.
Hi, just found your channel. I love your channel. I love the idea of a "suprise" box. I am working on eating more vegetables too. Thank you for the video. ⚘
Hi Debbie! Thanks for being here. Yes, it's really fun to see what I get each week. I actually filmed another CSA Haul this week that will go up soon! :)
This was a great video! I think I will try the budget challenge for my family. Have a wonderful weekend.
Yes, it's always a fun and challenging reset. Plus it helps me to be creative while also reducing waste :) Would love to know if you try!
First time watching your videos and I'm enjoying the video and I plan on subscribing for I enjoyed this video that much
Thanks so much for being here Ruth! I am working on three new videos to come out in the next few weeks :)
When you spoke of being a good steward over what you have, I knew that I had to subscribe. Be blessed😊😊
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I am truly enjoying it. Love the idea of using what you have on hand. Btw, your fur baby was so cute in that little yellow onesie/tee shirt😊😊
Thanks so much for watching Shea and for your sweet comment about my baby 🤗
Hi. Once a week, I look in the fridge and we eat leftovers. We had 1 piece of chicken, a zucchini, a half jar of spaghetti sauce and some old cheese. To stretch what I had, I boiled some noodles and took some leftover garlic bread out of the freezer. When my kids were young, Sunday breakfast was French toast with bread ends. Tina
Awesome plan. I didn't know about the USDA food plans, thank you! We are also trying ti reign in our food budget so this was helpful. We really need to be more mindful with our spending when it comes to food in my house. Thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family have a safe and lovely holiday season.
Thanks for watching! Yes, the plans are so helpful. I find it helps me reign things in while being realistic/sustainable with the amount I spend 😊
Those containers are never ending. Such a great deal. I like to take some and make smoothies packs for the freezer. My favorite is the kale and spinach one. Great video. Thanks.
Yes, smoothie packs are so convenient to have on hand!
What is a CSA box?
It stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Each quarter, I pay in advance for a share of vegetables and eggs directly to a local farmer and I get the items each week. It’s a really great way to support local farms and eat seasonally! I have a video from a couple months ago that shows more of what I get and how I use it up each week! 😊
In the fall I love starting to make alllll the soups(especially minestrone), pumpkin muffins, and also roasting veggies and using them in pasta dishes. It takes a basic spaghetti dinner and kicks it up 1,000 notches. I like the idea I saw in your last video that I watched: using baked eggs in a breakfast sandwich. Just reheating a crustless quiche can be pretty boring. Never thought to use it as a sandwich. Thanks for the ideas!
Yes! Roasted veggies make everything more delicious 😋
That sour cream looks like just the right amount ☺️
I think you mean Caramilk bar 😝
Oh my gosh, the struggle I went through trying to remember the name! 😅😂
@@thecozycosm 🤣😂 brain farts
I would love to see you do a video on cooking and carving a Turkey. Can you do this soon ?
Hi Carl! My brother in law is the turkey expert in our family, so I never have to make or carve one! I handle sides and desserts :)
you could use ice cube trays to put your tonatoe paste in and freeze.
That’s also a great idea! 😊
Oooo....anything with pumpkin and cookies in the same name will sell me every time! Hello fall!!! Agree with you on the weather! San Antonio is also starting to cool as well!🙂
Happy Sunday, David! Did y’all get the cold front this weekend too?! It’s been so beautiful here!
@@thecozycosm I guess you could call it a cold front. Cooler temps. I was able to mow the lawn at 1pm!! WOW! 😉
We love HEB's Creamy Creations ice cream. We just tried the new Pumpkin Pie flavor. It's so good. In thought I'd let you know about it in case you want to try a pumpkin ice cream.
Oh my gosh that sounds delicious! Yes, I am going to need to check it out! Thanks, Penny! 😊

Now, I am busy planning some fun fall content, and I would love to know- what do you want to see from me over the next couple months?!
You are so amazing great video. How often do you stock up on water and how much do you usually get? Can you possibly do more in store videos? I think it would be awesome if you could show how you do your full massive shopping trip
So glad to see your comment! 😊 I really only buy water to have for trips or for emergencies. Normally we use filtered water from the refrigerator. I will definitely try to incorporate more store videos! I did post one a couple weeks ago and thought of you!
Awesome! We did the same thing for a couple months. The reset was so helpful for us.
It’s been so great! I am hoping to get up my recap/lessons learned video on Sunday because it really helped way more than I could’ve imagined! 😊
I have also loved watching your videos for months now, so seeing you pop up in my comments made me smile!
@@thecozycosm woohoo! Hey girl!
Looks so delicious. Can't wait to try it!
I just made this again for dinner last night! Would love to hear how it turns out! 😊
What a good idea with the tomato paste. I put remaining tomato paste in a ziplock bag, flatten it out and run my finger to separate it into fourths and put in the freezer flat, then just break off a piece to use in a recipe
