    You can add coleslaw mix to your egg roll in a bowl. Bean sprouts too. Really stretches it.

    Hi from Colorado. Don't worry, Sarah, all of our ovens get yucky! I got an oven mat, it is made out of silicone, I think. Then all you need to do is carefully pull out the mat and rinse it off. It seriously made me so happy. You know that I am a stay at home mom, if that makes me happy. Hahaha God bless.

    Lol I totally get the oven thing. I’m too embarrassed to say how long I let it go without cleaning last time! I don’t use the self clean thing because the smoke scares me. I just leave the cleaner on overnight and it comes off easy in the morning. I always love your recipes! That ball on the porch is so cute, I love see kids actually doing kid things, especially these days!

    Thank you for your dinners video! I just love following your family around. It’s funny y’all are looking at RVs now. I found your channel when I was watching full time RVers. I was watching a family that RVs with several children and your channel was suggested. I don’t watch them anymore, but I’ve been watching yours for quite a while now. Thanks for all the positivity and Christian values you share. I only have two boys, who are grown now, and 1 granddaughter.
    Thanks again!

    Just a tip for anyone who likes to go into the grocery rather than online. Naan is almost always on my clearance racks and you can freeze it. I’ve never tried tortillas for pizza but definitely will! And for keto, I use muffin tins, use the big pepperoni or ham as your crust and toppings inside the little cup you made from the meat. It’s delicious!

    I usually do the self-cleaning feature on my oven during the night so we don't have to deal with the smells and heat. I just set it before I go to bed and wipe it out in the morning. BTW - I take the shelves out before I run the cycle. If I remember right, it damages them to be in the oven during the clean cycle. Hope that helps.Blessings, Janell

    I do wipe, wash the oven inside when needed. Use a razor to clean off burned on stuff.
    Alternatively they make a oven cleaning spray, if you get the no fume kind then you don;t have to smell the toxic chemicals of the spray.. I have never bought these though...
