You make your meats stretch so far! We’re a family of 5 ALL BOYS & I feel like I family size every package of everything & meats also. Our food bill is out the roof!
4 boy mom here!! I’ve finally gotten my boys to eating less meat. I stretch it by adding beans and etc too. The only time I use a family size package is if I’m making homemade fried chicken. Meat should be a compliment to your dish not the main dish. I learned that from a mom of 10! But yes, boys eat a lot of so we do a lot of filling meals and less snacks Foods because most of the time they were eating out of boredom.
Lots of teenagers in our house. Our food bill is nuts and just truly so much higher than even a year ago. I have to be very careful or I’ll have a heart attack at the register.
I really love how much you try to make everyday things memorable and special for your kids and family. Those are the things they’ll remember as adults.
Grew up eating country ham, salty, but so good! Every year vacationing in Virginia, we’d stop at a little country store and buy a whole country ham…I wish I had some right now, it’s so good in fresh green beans!
Hello Kristin, if you gently pat the tops of your biscuits with buttermilk, you should be able to bake them at 450 for 15 minutes, and they will be golden brown. I also rub the tops with butter and flip them over and rub the bottoms with butter, after they come out. They are a crowd pleaser every time! 😁
Everything looks delicious! I make my vegetable soup like yours but I use the frozen bag of mixed vegetables instead of the cans. I totally agree that the cabbage makes the soup delicious! I use stew meat or roast with mine. Love your channel! Yum!
Oh! Also a fun tip now that you own a burger press. Use it for making homemade crunchwraps, place it on top while the tortilla crisps up. That's how we did it at my old restaurant
Your soup looks great! I don't care for most meats so it'll definitely be a vegetable soup for me. Your recipe (minus meat) sounds like it'll fill me up. Thanks for all your recipes and meal ideas!
Hi, Kristin! I don't comment much, but I just wanted to say that I always look forward to your videos. You are just the sweetest! It's a refreshing break from all the craziness in the world right now. Thank you! Be well. ❤
I get all excited when i see a notification from Mrs. Kristen Stepp come thru! You make meals that my family would love also and this mama is exhausted making the same recipes over n over again! Dinner tonight is gna be a good one!
Kristin, I don’t often comment but I never miss a video and I feel like you nail it over and over again when it comes to dinners! I appreciate all the work you put in on your channel as it definitely gives me some great dinner inspiration. Happy Thanksgiving!
I always look forward to your videos Kristen! All your food looked so delicious! When I fix my buttermilk biscuits, I put them in the oven for 7 minutes, then turn the tray the other way for another 7 minutes! 14 minutes altogether! It works for me! Have a great day!
When I make biscuits I brush the tops with milk before baking I think that helps with browning. Love homemade biscuits they are worth the little extra time for sure!
STELLAR upload as usual ❤ I can’t TELL ya how MUCH it benefits all of the mama’s out here in internet land 🤪 we’re out of menu ideas that’ll accommodate both appetites - the parents AND the little ones 😇 much love to you from South Georgia Ps - something on our menu EVERY week - the Parmesan chicken recipe on the beach of the Italian dressing dry mix 😋 mmm. Cheap EASY and sooo fast 💨 start to finish/perfect for week night 👌
I have a jar of homemade vegetable beef soup left over from last night's meal. I guess it's that time of year, made mine in the crock pot. Those smash burgers looked killer!🍔 Everything you made was very appealing. Thank you Kristin 😊 💓
everything looked wonderful! it is what I have come to expect from your videos! when my kids were little I used to make a veggie soup that we called refrigerator soup! it was usually on the weekend and it was bits and pieces of whatever was leftover in the fridge! I did find a new recipe lately that I am loving that is very similar. I put in like a rotel and regular diced tomatoes instead of the tomatoe juice and I use a homemade chicken broth for the majority of the liquid. I also use the rice o roni wild rice with the seasoning packet, I really think that that makes the soup! I just love the flavor! thanks so much for sharing! xoxo
Kristen I have meant to comment before now but I bet I’ve made this 6-8 times! It’s just hubs and me now, the kids are grown! Although we do have the grands all the time and the 2 littlest ones who are 2 & 5 absolutely love this soup! It was such a surprise to me! Thanks again sweetie for this! I think the V8 is the secret in this!! Oh and the grands do PB&J but hubs and so do either homemade bread or grilled cheese! Thanks again precious!💞
I feel you with the small town and one store. We drive 3 hours to do our shopping and it's every month and half. I only get the bare amount of stuff that I have to at our store. Love your videos thank you.
One of the our southern ladies that I watch dabs a bit of buttermilk on top of the biscuits before baking them. It seems to help them have a beautiful browned top. Yours look delicious though. Such beautiful layers. Yummy 😋
Awesome meals. Things I wish I could get in WV from KY. Diet Ale 8, country ham, and white lilly all purpose flour. :-) I can get self rising flour but not the all purpose!
I just got recommended to your videos thoroughly enjoying them so far as we are a family of four with two growing boys. Just a question do you ever use real onions or only onion powder when you’re cooking?
Man of Man!! I have to make your Veggie Soup!! 😋😋it just looks SCRUMPTOUS!! 😛I've said this before, I follow and appreciate several UA-camrs, but you are absolutely one of my faves. Your "What's for Dinner" and "Lunch Box" videos are CHOCK FULL of FAB meal ideas. 😍And, I have learned so much from your vids and enjoyed many of your recipes. Thanks loads for sharing. Always looking forward to your next video. Arlene
My vegetable soup is exactly like yours but I add some beef broth and it makes it even better. I recommend it! I will also jus throw in whatever vegetables I need to get rid of before they go bad.
another thing you can try with those biscuits is take a pound of maple sausage and cook it up nice and brown (I like to cook it a little longer to get some crispy bits on there) and then add 1/4 cup flour and stir, cooking about a minute to cook the flour taste out. slowly whisk in 3-4 cups milk, pepper (I usually don't salt until it's done because the sausage is pretty salty to me) and let simmer until thickened and pour over the biscuits. this is my husbands favorite breakfast and it's super simple.
My vegetable soup is almost exactly like yours. The only difference is that I do dice an onion in mine. Your biscuits were beautiful. That’s one thing I just can’t do well. I’ve made my own gravy through the years but we’ve completely switched to the Pioneer like you used. Tastes the closest to homemade of any that we’ve had. Thanks for the video.
I use the coke trick with caramelizing onions. I start with melting butter then adding sliced and halved onions (onion strings), then when the onions start to get soft I add about 1/4 cup of the coke…let that almost finish observing/evaporating and add the next 1/4 or so coke. I do that until either all the coke it gone or I have the caramelization that I want. The onions are great on burgers, hotdogs, topped on a salad, topped on an Alfredo pasta. Yumm😋
I just wanted you to know i made your thick and chunky slow cooker potato soup 😄😄 from your last video (i think it was the last one) My family loooooooved it! Thank you for the idea. Think im going to try your broccoli and rice cassarole next!
Smash burgers are the best!! I had gastric bypass 4 years ago and any type or amount of grease makes me super sick, so I can only eat smash burgers (1/4 of a smash burger) when im craving them which is rarely!. You made my mouth water! Also, I plan on making sausage and egg biscuits for bfast tomorrow 😋, I live in the Midwest and don't think we have that particular ham.. atleast I've never seen it anywhere near here ☹️
Love love LOVE your videos! For the biscuits I think you can brush milk/buttermilk/ heavy cream on top before baking to brown them! (And I agree, homemade are best... only have done it a few times but when I do so so tasty!) Can't wait to make the vegetable soup Monday night for dinner! I'm in NC and we're headed for a cooldown this coming week so it's right on time! 🥰
I make the same broccoli casserole. Except I use the winter blend (cauliflower & broccoli). I top it with French fried onions after it’s finished cooking. I then put it back in the oven for about 5 min to crisp up the onions.
Made the broccoli dish tonight had no chicken soup so used 2 packets of made up mushroom soup We live in nz so we don’t have your cheese so grated some block cheese turned out great. Thanks for your recipe ideas
Country ham tastes and reminds me of salt pork which we use here in New Mexico to cook with our beans. I have never tried it on a biscuit I am going to try it out!
You make your meats stretch so far! We’re a family of 5 ALL BOYS & I feel like I family size every package of everything & meats also. Our food bill is out the roof!
Bless you! I want to know YOUR meal plan for a week!! I have 1 son & totally know what u mean with boys!!!
4 boy mom here!! I’ve finally gotten my boys to eating less meat. I stretch it by adding beans and etc too. The only time I use a family size package is if I’m making homemade fried chicken.
Meat should be a compliment to your dish not the main dish. I learned that from a mom of 10! But yes, boys eat a lot of so we do a lot of filling meals and less snacks
Foods because most of the time they were eating out of boredom.
Ugh idk how you do it with 5 boys. I have two teenage boys & they eat soo much! I’ve been doing less meat & more side dishes.
Mama of 6 girls here, and ladies… 😅 girls aren’t any easier. My girls can out me most days lol. My grocery bill is ridiculous.
Lots of teenagers in our house. Our food bill is nuts and just truly so much higher than even a year ago. I have to be very careful or I’ll have a heart attack at the register.
Using the butter wrapper to grease the dish is old school. I love it.
Kristen, I always appreciate your kindness, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. Best to you and your family. Cheryl
I really love how much you try to make everyday things memorable and special for your kids and family. Those are the things they’ll remember as adults.
Agree!😊
yes, and being unhealthy will also follow them into adulthood
Grew up eating country ham, salty, but so good! Every year vacationing in Virginia, we’d stop at a little country store and buy a whole country ham…I wish I had some right now, it’s so good in fresh green beans!
i live in va!! ill have to give it a try 🙂↕️
Hello Kristin, if you gently pat the tops of your biscuits with buttermilk, you should be able to bake them at 450 for 15 minutes, and they will be golden brown. I also rub the tops with butter and flip them over and rub the bottoms with butter, after they come out. They are a crowd pleaser every time! 😁
That broccoli and cheese rice looks so good! I never would’ve thought to put coke with sausages like that, but they look so tasty!
Everything looks delicious! I make my vegetable soup like yours but I use the frozen bag of mixed vegetables instead of the cans. I totally agree that the cabbage makes the soup delicious! I use stew meat or roast with mine. Love your channel! Yum!
I LOVE cabbage in soup. It replaces the craving for noodles and is so much healthier plus doesn’t get soggy like noodles do in leftovers.
Awesome recipes, thanks for sharing ❤️👍❤️👍❤️
Girl you NEVER fail to inspire me!!! I can’t wait to make these ❤
Just what I needed on a cold, rainy day! 😊
Those burgers on the flat top look to die for!
My mouth was watering when I saw those!
Cool family dinner
Oh! Also a fun tip now that you own a burger press. Use it for making homemade crunchwraps, place it on top while the tortilla crisps up. That's how we did it at my old restaurant
Your vegetable beef soup was delicious! Thanks for sharing
Your soup looks great! I don't care for most meats so it'll definitely be a vegetable soup for me. Your recipe (minus meat) sounds like it'll fill me up. Thanks for all your recipes and meal ideas!
I’ve made the vegetable with ground beef soup plenty of times before but I’ve never used cabbage with it. I think I’ll try it 😊
I LOVE breakfast for dinner. Always a huge hit in our house.💜
Happy belated birthday to your daughter! My birthday is Halloween as well. I think it's a fun holiday to have as a birthday, I loved it as a kid!
Your veggie soup looks so good!
I wish my family would eat veggie soup, I would so make it!
Hi, Kristin! I don't comment much, but I just wanted to say that I always look forward to your videos. You are just the sweetest! It's a refreshing break from all the craziness in the world right now. Thank you! Be well. ❤
I get all excited when i see a notification from Mrs. Kristen Stepp come thru! You make meals that my family would love also and this mama is exhausted making the same recipes over n over again! Dinner tonight is gna be a good one!
That vegetable soup looks so good!! I'm about to run to the store now to make that tonight
Kristin, I don’t often comment but I never miss a video and I feel like you nail it over and over again when it comes to dinners! I appreciate all the work you put in on your channel as it definitely gives me some great dinner inspiration. Happy Thanksgiving!
Great video! My grandmother would spoon bacon grease on the tops of her biscuits before putting them in the oven.
When our kids were little we did that beef stew and finished cooking it inside a pumpkin in the oven. It’s so much fun for Halloween!
I always look forward to your videos Kristen! All your food looked so delicious! When I fix my buttermilk biscuits, I put them in the oven for 7 minutes, then turn the tray the other way for another 7 minutes! 14 minutes altogether! It works for me! Have a great day!

Everything looks delicious!
All of these recipes look amazing! I just found your channel and I love the simplicity of these recipes ❤ looking forward to binging your channel!
Soup looks absolutely delicious, I have a family of 6 and on a super tight budget so this would work for me! I was thinking I could add some rice
Minus the canned veggies, that is almost my exact cabbage soup recipe and it's delicious!
That’s soup looks so good.
I have a jar of homemade vegetable beef soup left over from last night's meal. I guess it's that time of year, made mine in the crock pot. Those smash burgers looked killer!🍔 Everything you made was very appealing. Thank you Kristin 😊 💓

These all look delicious! The ritz cracker one I used to make a lot too. My kids loved it. Think I will make it again. 🥰
All of these meals look amazing, I can't even be bothered to pop an eggo waffle in the toaster
It's a rainy day here in Lebanon, TN and I have vegetable soup cooking. I'm fixing to start my corn bread. Love watching your recipes😋
Vegetable soup is even better on a rainy day 🥰 & thank you so much!!

Thank you so so much!! ❤️❤️
Thanks for showing your grill,I just got one and having a time figuring out the best way to use it…
That is exactly how I make my veggie soup! I make it the way my Mamaw does and she is from Hazard, KY! Cabbage is the best part in my opinion. Yummmm
I am amazed at your grill! Do you a video describing it?
My vegetable soup is exactly like yours but I add some beef broth and it makes it even better. I recommend it! I will also jus throw in whatever vegetables I need to get rid of before they go bad.

Yum!!! I need to make some veggie soup! Ya gotta make it with some cornbread! My mamaw always made it with her homemade cornbread.
Watching you chop those veggies so effortlessly. Which knives do you use?
Great, tempting and ‘do-able’ meal ideas as always! Never heard of country ham, need to look for it. Guess it’s not a New England thing maybe?
Great video

Great video! I make a similar soup. I add orzo or ditalini pasta. Make a good filler to bulk up the soup.
It actually looks really easy to make veggies unhealthy. Thank you
We always cook polish sausage with the cabbage in chicken broth. I’ll have to try it this way!
Made the broccoli dish tonight had no chicken soup so used 2 packets of made up mushroom soup
We live in nz so we don’t have your cheese so grated some block cheese turned out great. Thanks for your recipe ideas
Country ham tastes and reminds me of salt pork which we use here in New Mexico to cook with our beans. I have never tried it on a biscuit I am going to try it out!
Kristen saw on moss family's and I have adopted her recipe which is similar to yours but using self rising flower. Very good
