I love how every time you talk about the quesadilla you say a new thing. First you were saying fajitas and I was like those are weird looking fajitas. Then when you went to cook it you said quesadilla and I was like yes that makes much more sense and that’s how you cook them from fresh as well. Then after you ate it you kept calling it an enchilada, which is very different to a quesadilla too.
Grace's blue tongue when eating the lasagne really made me giggle - 😂 love the little bump - can't wait to watch all the videos where you talk about pregnancy etc we defo want all the baby content especially now Zoe Sugg has had Novie
In the States, the quesadillas are also served with guacamole. And the same concept of freezing the individual wedges as with the burritos also applies.
Love how Mr Grack is joining in more. His voice was quite loud this time! I understand why he doesn’t but I truly wish he’d say hello to us all though!
Awww your little bump is sooo beautiful 😍 you are most definitely glowing in this pregnancy. This video has come at the perfect time, I didn’t get to meal prep for postpartum so already planning my Costco run once I leave hospital 😂
Been watching grace from the start I’m a 37 year old mum and the fact she is pregnant is now pregnant has made my whole year the binge watches have gotten even better 🎉❤
Loved loved loved this !!! I would really appreciate a Tesco ready meal taste test ! Maybe a week of Tesco ready meal dinners! Maybe an M&S ready meal week ! And also a cereal taste test because I’m getting bored of my go to granola but I’m also too scared to try something different…(cereal always looks nicer than it tastes …)♥️♥️♥️
Y'all... NEVER reheat your quesadilla's in the microwave. Stovetop with butter or oil like Grace did is best. Second best is the air fryer. I'm in the states (TX) so most of our ready made is Tex-Mex/Mexican inspired. I've never bought them but I like to get their rotisserie chicken and use it to make my own quesadillas, tacos, burritos, nachos etc. As soon as I get the chicken home, I slice the breasts off whole for a quick dinner protein during the week, then pull the rest off the bone and tear it into shreds.. I'll add taco or fajita seasoning to it, pop it into the air fryer and then add black beans, veggies, rice, cheese .... whatever and it's done in 10 minutes in the oven or air fryer. It's also nice to not season the chicken ahead of time, then you can add any kind of spice blend the portion you're heating up to get different style cuisines.
Most of the frozen prepared meal tastes seems to be the way they use beef specifically as the burrito, pies, and lasagna are all using the same ground beef. If they're the ready made and never frozen cooked meals then that beef may have still had to be cooked, then rapidly cooled before being added to anything. Chicken & Pork aren't as apparent when they go through that process as pork tends to render its fat out more during those high heat final cooks above 80C, and chicken is relatively lean. If you've ever cooked ground beef then portioned some out you weren't using before adding it to the final product/sauce/taco mix/whatever then it tastes kind of processed the next time you heat it up and doesn't absorb the seasoning as well the next time. (Personal opinion on the latter here, but I am a professional cook specializing in meat)
For me the "ready meal taste" is a mix of 1) a kind of generic blandness that comes from trying to appeal to as many people as possible and 2) overusing vegetable oil instead of using the smaller amount people usually use at home, or using olive oil/butter
I'm in western Canada and the chicken pot pie from Costco was a staple at our house growing up. Super buttery crust and it was huge! Love your videos !
Here in the Seattle area, we've got Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans, a chicken taco kit, a chicken quesadilla kit, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, penne with meatballs, a gyros kit, lasagna, Mac and cheese, and huge chicken Caesar salads. Of course, the pinwheel sandwiches and the roasted chickens are always a bit, too.
I loved the chicken tacos in canada! The cilantro crema is to die for. I also would get the butter chicken for my husband, wasnt duper duper "authentic" but im pretty sure butter chicken is for the west anyways haha. Lasagne was great too :)
You are lucky to have some really great choices at your Costco ... at ours here in the USA, we don't have Indian or some of the pasta you have. Definitely not cottage pie. Here in Salem, Oregon our Costco currently has in the "ready meals" --- Several types of salad kits, chicken street tacos, stuffed bell peppers with beef and rice, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, Gyro kit, Rotisserie Chicken Enchiladas (using up the unsold $5 rotisserie chickens from yesterday), Mac and Cheese, Alfredo (chicken), Beef & Pork Meatballs with Pasta & Saucen and various other "American" favorites. The prices, however, are OUTRAGEOUS compared to what you paid! The rotisserie chicken enchiladas are over $25!!!! Ridiculous - especially since they're using the leftover chicken .... The best deal I can see is the mac and cheese, $12.50 for about 3 lbs.
I'm from the US, so ALL of these were different! Here we don't have a prepared lasagna, just two Kirkland brands in the freezer, one with beef, one with sausage and beef. So it was good to know it wasn't as good as it did look! (I don't feel so bad!). But the one of course I wanted to see was the authentic British Cottage Pie! Ours is called Shepherd's Pie and it is shaped like an actual big pie, like an apple pie and it has a crust on the bottom and sides like a pie with the mashed potatoes with some cheese I think on the top. The inside is just crumbled beef and some veggies, corn I think and a few others, peas maybe and scallions or onions, and although there is some juice or broth, there is no gravy, no brown gravy! It is pale inside. I had wanted it to have gravy! But it's good, very tasty, lots of herbs, just not what I wanted it to be. And the crust is very good. I was surprised. So very interesting to find the UK one is not great and again, I don't feel so bad. But you didn't show a shot of the cooked pie like you did with the others! TY for the video! Suggestion for what next -- some of the frozen entrees that are more unusual, like the fishes and other ones that are mostly only seen at Costco -- or the UK Asian frozen noodles or other entrees.
British person here! Shepherds pie and cottage pie are actually both British classics. They just have different ingredients. Cottage pie uses beef mince (or ground beef) and shepherds pie uses lamb mince (or ground lamb?) But interestingly it seems the us version is the wrong way round?
Upstate New York here...Mac & Cheese is always on point! I don't know if they'll sell this in the UK, but here they have a Detroit-style frozen pizza...MAN O MAN...DELICIOUS!!!! Their frozen pizzas overall are better than some pizza shops.
If I may make a suggestion, when having frozen meals you need to know what seasonings for each meal especially with Mexican food and Indian food and it will taste better. 👍
We don’t have any of those ones at our costcos, it’s usually chicken Alfredo, lasagna, fajita wraps kit, some sort of pita chicken wrap kit, chow mein with chicken and veg, stuffed peppers, and Shepard’s pie,
This was so interesting! Me and my boyfriend Loooove the Pulled beef burritos - especially with their broccoli salad omg yum - & also the ribs😍😍 - but we did Not enjoy the carbonara
I'm a tad sad you didn't have the Chicken Pot PIe. Maybe it's because it's not a summer-y meal - or because we're in the US - but it's really good. I had multiple friends recommend it, so it came with quite some expectation and I'd love to hear your input.
Really enjoyed this video! I’d also love to see more content around making meals yourself rather than eating out/supermarket meals, like trying to meal prep for a week (or ingredient prep, which I’ve seen seeing all over Instagram lately) - just feels like it’d be more relatable & useful content while still entertaining!!
This would be helpful as £9.50 to try something is too rich for my budget rn. I’m tempted by the Breton Chicken meal but I’ve never been able to catch it when it’s on sale.
@@PoppyCorn144 I think of Charlie Bigham meals are for a very specific occasion. When you want a special meal but you don’t want to cook or go out. i’ve only tried the fish pie for 1 which at £7 is pricey but it really did taste great, the portion size was good but it was moreish so i wish there was more. When you’re spending £10 on a ready meal as a special treat, the idea of it is high stakes, it would be good to see a video on wether it’s worth it for those little special occasions
you should listen to Aqcuired's podcast episode about costco - really interesting to learn about how the costco business model works and became so successful
I don't know how things are done at Costco in the UK, but in the US, the food is cooked in the store. I don't believe there are a lot of processed ingredients. It all tastes homemade.
Grack, no judgement here but if that's a non-stick pan and it's starting to peel away, it's time to bin it. The chemicals in the coating can get into your food
1. As an American, I had no idea the UK had Costco. That’s so exciting for you guys 😂 2. I don’t usually comment, but I subscribed back when you were posting videos about your recovery, and I am so proud of how far you’ve come!! Seriously, this is amazing. I love all your food content. You’ve done SO well and I’m so happy for you.
I'm in Australia and it sounds like it's the same case in the UK as here (and maybe the U.S?) but yes, you have to pay a membership fee to even access Costco which I think is crazy lol
Burrito=no Curry_ yes ok bog standard Fajita/quesadilla- yes recommend Carbonara - banging a must buy Mac cheese- v good not dry Wedges - good needs mayo/sour cream Lasagne - tastes more ready meal - pub lasagne ok Shepherd pie-ready meal taste, mash good, not as good as others

The little baby belly!!!!!!!!! Literally the cutest thing EVER!!!!!!!!!
❤😢 I knoww
Is she pregnant?
@@LK-hn2hv YEEEESSSSS ❤️❤️❤️
It is isn't it! Can't wait for baby!
It's not that small from some of the angles. I'd say she's further along than you think.
They do all look like they reheated really well, & that alone is a point.
Agreed! :)
Grace's blue tongue when eating the lasagne really made me giggle - 😂 love the little bump - can't wait to watch all the videos where you talk about pregnancy etc we defo want all the baby content especially now Zoe Sugg has had Novie
I love how real grace is, doing a video with pants on the radiator drying.
Thinking exactly the same 😊
yes!! LOL!!
WE MISS DAD BOOTH! GET HIM IN A FEW VIDEOS AGAIN PLEASE!

15 dollars Mac and cheese vat included . Come on , buy the best of the best for that , great video tho . Just British so much better
The amount of times you said enchilada and I’m just screaming quesadilla 😂
I love the washing drying in the background because it is so nostalgic 😢 it reminds me of old Grackle videos when Grace lived at her parents house ❤
To keep the rice from drying out in the microwave, dampen a paper towel and cover the dish with it when heating it up!
I loved hearing your families opinions and dinner chatter, makes me think of my family dinners
The blue tongue on the taste test with the lasagne. 😂 Made me giggle it came from nowhere. Is it a sneaky baby reveal video? Ooooh I'm so intrigued xx

If you save the bones (just pop them in the freezer), then you can boil them to make a lovely stock basically for free.
@@hannahk1306 💯 I also save my veggie skins and scraps for it too!
@@ambfisch Me too 😊
As a fellow Texan, I second this!!

Let's get Grace to half a million subscribers! She so deserves it! She's so close! Everyone share her channel with your friends and subscribe x
Costco has a summer and winter mains range!! The winter beef hot pot with the dumplings is a family favourite for us!! And the enchiladas
Is it just me who can only watch graces videos when I’m eating? Idk there’s just something about watching grace review food whilst I’m eating my tea
For me the "ready meal taste" is a mix of 1) a kind of generic blandness that comes from trying to appeal to as many people as possible and 2) overusing vegetable oil instead of using the smaller amount people usually use at home, or using olive oil/butter

It blows my American mind to see all the different meal options you get at Costco in the UK!
Is it different in American Costco?
A refrigerated single-serve carbonara in Tesco is. £3.50 - I was looking at them last night. So that Costco price is very good.
Here in the Seattle area, we've got Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans, a chicken taco kit, a chicken quesadilla kit, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, penne with meatballs, a gyros kit, lasagna, Mac and cheese, and huge chicken Caesar salads. Of course, the pinwheel sandwiches and the roasted chickens are always a bit, too.
Pinwheels sandwiches? we don't get those in Montreal... darn it!
Don’t we have a chicken pot pie too? I’m in Kirkland but haven’t been to Costco for a while :/
@@wow-si6th yeah, I think so, but it's sort of seasonal. Things shift, a lot.
This has been super helpful! I’ll need to see if we have some of the good ones in Canada! Love your channel! Excited for baby Grack ❤
Awww Grace beautiful baby bump ❤
All looks yummy ❤ Grace, your kitchen calender is still on May, flip it for real girl 😊
She might have filmed it in May?
I loved the chicken tacos in canada! The cilantro crema is to die for. I also would get the butter chicken for my husband, wasnt duper duper "authentic" but im pretty sure butter chicken is for the west anyways haha. Lasagne was great too :)
We’ve just has the fresh ricotta & spinach cannoli with the tomato & mascarpone sauce, absolutely delicious, other half in freezer for another day 😊
Video suggest: Same food (perhaps readymeals) of different supermarkets
(as a Uni student, i want to know which ones would be good value)

Yessssss....I am a savoury type of gal x
You know you've got to make it a series now and do the entertaining platters etc too 😅
The way you said crème fraiche made my year 😂
Aww Baby G cooking away nicely❤

I know you’ve worn it before but where did you get that t-shirt from? It’s so precious!
Just love these crewed videos ❤
Gutted you didn’t try the fish pie always wanted it but it’s spenny so wanted to know if it was worth it😂
Try all the Charlie Bigham range! Including the puddings 😀
those meals did look good, i think the price is pretty good for the amount you get, Kirkland supply a lot of other shops too , like Aldi
If I may make a suggestion, when having frozen meals you need to know what seasonings for each meal especially with Mexican food and Indian food and it will taste better. 👍
The chocolate cake taste test? I know you did the "Testing supermarket vanilla cake" video... Maybe a part 02?
We don’t have any of those ones at our costcos, it’s usually chicken Alfredo, lasagna, fajita wraps kit, some sort of pita chicken wrap kit, chow mein with chicken and veg, stuffed peppers, and Shepard’s pie,
Can you do a video trying Cook food ready meals? They’re amazing and the shops offer taste tests.
My brother swears the butter chicken is elite! Would loved to have got your take
Beautiful little baby bump, may God bless you and keep you through your pregnancy in Jesus name xx 🥰
This was so interesting! Me and my boyfriend Loooove the Pulled beef burritos - especially with their broccoli salad omg yum - & also the ribs😍😍 - but we did Not enjoy the carbonara
You should do a best veggie takeout video! Loving the work
The Chicken Fajita Quesadilla looked so good. Frying in a pan was the way to go. 👍🏻

Just the tiniest sprinkle of water on rice makes all the difference when you microwave it.
can you do more these type of videos but with different supermarkets!!!

If you go through Grace’s back catalogue, she’s got a lot of those videos already. You won’t be short of choices.
These meals are generally at least $20 in the US. I can't believe how inexpensive they are in the UK!
Aaah, Paris and Nicole are back😂👌

Lasagna 2 or 3 days later is so much better than when it just came out of the oven.

Just got a job at costco, so far its awesome. Im also eating a costco croissant right now
I see the baby bump!! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊
I don't know how things are done at Costco in the UK, but in the US, the food is cooked in the store. I don't believe there are a lot of processed ingredients. It all tastes homemade.
the costco enchiladas absolutely slap
I love the white print shirt from the beginning!! Does anyone know where it's from?
Hi Grace. Would you mind linking the worktop oven you use, please!
The taco kit is my favorite personally
Here in Toronto Costco we have a chicken pot pie that I really like. Bake in the oven nice crust and only $10
Out here doing supreme research in the Costco field 🕵️♀️
we have meatloaf and mash potatoes which is so yummy
Lovee these food reviews, please make more!
Cute u got mr grack in stripes too
Your T-shirt is cool. Where’s it from?
I've had the chicken pot pie, here in northern California. I did enjoy it, and would have it again. 👍
Thank you much love xx
Love your channel thank you
I’ll have to check what the selection of meals is at the Costco in Canada.
sam’s club next!
I like the pulled beef burrito and the gyros kit (we have that in Costco in Manchester). not really a fan of the sheppard pie
No costco in Denmark. Sadly, it looks like fun.
Grack, no judgement here but if that's a non-stick pan and it's starting to peel away, it's time to bin it. The chemicals in the coating can get into your food
Frozen dinners always disappoint. There's something about the texture.😝
Awww your little baby bump peeking through
I was honestly expecting you to say your least favourite was the burrito 🤗

I’m Mexican and the burrito is actually my favourite at Costco
I was waiting for you to add sour cream to the lasagna
I'm confused. Are they fajitas, quesadillas or enchiladas?
Wait, you guys have to pay to go to Costco? Someone please explain to me, I'm not from the UK
I'm in Australia and it sounds like it's the same case in the UK as here (and maybe the U.S?) but yes, you have to pay a membership fee to even access Costco which I think is crazy lol
You haven’t heard of a pasta bake grace? Been around for years
Burrito=no
Curry_ yes ok bog standard
Fajita/quesadilla- yes recommend
Carbonara - banging a must buy
Mac cheese- v good not dry
Wedges - good needs mayo/sour cream
Lasagne - tastes more ready meal - pub lasagne ok
Shepherd pie-ready meal taste, mash good, not as good as others
Oh my, my local Costco has none of those dishes!!
