We are gearing up to do a food ministry through our church. It’s our responsibility to pick up a bag from the food pantry, come up with dinner menus for a week, purchase additional necessary food and deliver to a student to take home. This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you!
That is a cool way of serving!
What a fantastic idea!
Bless you for this!!!!
Such a beautiful idea! I do this for a few neighbors, but I can only do 3 days. But they appreciate it
Awesome idea! Most people just don't know what to do with what they have! Recently used leftover mashed potatoes to make potato cakes.. which served as a hasbrown substitute for breakfast for dinner!
Yes please keep doing the 20 Ingredients capsule meal plans as it is really helpful especially in the economical climate and eventually people will have a large list of recipes without food boredom! Four seasonal capsule meal plans would be helpful, thanks for all you do!
This would be a great idea for vacation. When you stay in a condo with a full kitchen and need to be able to cook delicious meals without buying an entire pantry.
This is exactly what I needed! Planning on saving as much as I can to afford nice summer activities with my kid! You're a life saver!
Please make more versions! I love this idea!
Thanks, Aimee! I'm already thinking about the next one. :)
Mindy, I say this with so much affection: you nerd! I love that you did this project. Your enthusiasm about this concept is so delightful and infectious. I think this is an amazing idea! Along with budgeting, I think it could be so useful in training yourself how to use food you already have on hand so that you don't let it languish in your cabinets and fridge. If people are stocking their kitchen with the same limited number of ingredients most weeks, and you know the ingredients can work together to make over 20 recipes, it's encouraging to use what you have on hand before it spoils. Learning how to bring ingredients together like you do in your pantry cooking videos is really skill that some people might have a knack for, but it can be learned with a great demonstration like this one. Congratulations on completing this project! I hope you feel really proud about what you've accomplished.
Ah, thanks so much Stephanie! I really appreciate the encouragement. I tell my daughter all the time, "nerds rule the world" 😉 so I definitely take that as a compliment! And yes, it's the teacher in me that gets excited about a good lesson plan. LOL!
Yes!
This is AMAZING! If you could ever do a vegetarian version (no meat) that would be awesome! Meat is so expensive by us right now.
Yes please to more capsule menus. Weeklong or 10 days plans would be awesome.
I would love one with vegan/whole foods. But these are great ideas!
Yes! These are great ideas but would love to see whole foods and more fruits and vegetables.
It reminds of something called chicken poppycosh or chicken "paprikash". A childhood staple in a German-American household.
I would love to see more of these! If your family eats cabbage, that’s an ingredient I’d be interested in seeing you include… it is very healthy and often on sale for very cheap, but as a single person it’s very stressful to try to use an entire cabbage!
Cabbage is a perfect staple for every household - even for singles. It is so versatile and you can easily use it instead of salad, put it in stews and soups or as a simple side either raw or fermented. Fermented it keeps forever :)
@@laifnow My main weakness when it comes to cabbage is that I don’t like coleslaw, haha. I have accumulated a number of good cabbage recipes at this point, but I am always looking for more to ensure variety. Which is why, if Mindy is interested, I’d love to see her take!
I absolutely love cabbage, and as a one-person household it's become a grocery staple. I use it in place of lettuce all the time -- on sandwiches and in salads -- and I love that it's crunchier, more flavorful and more nutritious. I also routinely toss it into soups and other hot dishes. I always felt bad, though, if I couldn't use up a whole head or bag of it before it started to turn, but then a couple of years ago I learned you can just stick chopped cabbage in the freezer. You don't even have to cook it first. Defrosted, it's perfect for adding to soups or other cooked dishes with no loss in flavor. So now I have my fresh stash in the fridge for salads and sandwiches and my freezer stash for soups and other hot dishes.
@@freefoodchef7939 thank you for the freezer tip! Also you can use whole leafs as wraps if you leave them ten minutes in salted water to soften :)
@@laifnow You're very welcome, and I appreciate your tip about how to soften whole leaves to make wraps. I love wraps, but have normally made them with those big tortilla type wraps, and then it makes too bulky a sandwich for my appetite. Plus cabbage wraps wouldn't have to be just for sandwiches, since they could be used for baked cabbage rolls. Yum! 😋
Great idea! I see so many crazy dinner meals on the internet with one time use ingredients. And you took us back to the basics like my mom cooked my whole childhood 🥰 thank you 😊
Thank you! That was my idea. I kept it pretty simple with this one with lots of meals my mom made our large family and that my family also likes. :)
I love this idea!!! I would be very interested in seeing more of your capsule ideas in the future🙂
YES!!!!! Exactly. Love this
I'm teaching basic skills at the library once a month. We are learning about meal planning for October. Capsule meal plans like this are so helpful for people just learning. And by changing the pasta to rice I have a dozen different meals easily. Thank you.
Yes! Two weeks of cheap and delicious dinners. Please do more of these. If I could shop every 2 weeks and have a plan, that will be life changing. We actually have every ingredient on the plan except sour cream because I ran out.
If you have plain yogurt, it should work instead of the sour cream.
I really can’t understand why you don’t have a MILLION subscribers!! This is great info
thank you!
Well I didn't know the difference between Scalloped and Au gratin til just now lol
Glad I wasn’t alone! 😊
They need to offer this as a class in high school or college!
Love this. How about a meatless meal capsule plan?
Oooh, girl. This ebook is awesome for me. And I love the style of the menu planners. Thank you!!
This is a fantastic idea!!! I’d love to see another, maybe a series! Also I’d love to see how you do your own cream of chicken 😊
Thanks, Brittany! I’m already working on another. 😊
Cream of soup is very easy to make. 2T each butter and flour (I use rice flour because I need a GF sub). Melt butter in pan and whisk in flour. Cook for 30 seconds or so. When all bubbly, whisk in 1-2 C milk depending on the consistency you want. Season with a little chicken bullion powder and salt and pepper to taste. For mushroom soup sauté some chopped mushrooms in the butter (I usually use a little extra butter) before adding the flour. Then leave out the chicken bullion.
@@cheriellis9215 Thank you so much for this. Have been trying to learn how to make both of these. We cut up mushrooms and freeze them so we have them on hand. Yay!
Probably my my most favorite UA-cam video ever !
A menu capsule ! How brilliant !
This would be a wonderful and practical gift printed placed in a binder with some of the homemade seasoning ideas for a gift !
More more more of these please Mindy !
This is JUST what I needed! Living on a fixed income and have been desperate on a way to minimize my grocery bill but maximize my meals. Thank you for the code! This capsule ebook is a lifesaver!! ❤
This is awesome! This is how I shop every month!
I’d love to see you try a vegetarian one! Or maybe one specific to each store like “aldi capsule meal plan” or “while foods capsule meal plan”!
Awesome concept! Would love to see a low carb capsule meal plan. Thank-you for all the great ideas!!!
I found this capsule cooking very intriguing. I would like to see more videos like this. Especially recipe that are freezer friendly.
Salad shrimp is a really affordable ingredient that you might enjoy creating a recipe for. Imitation crab goes on sale alot too.
I recall learning in the early ‘70’s. Perhaps ‘71. From a textbook written, I’m sure from the ‘50’s or ‘60’s, a recipe called Master Mix. Think of today, as compared to Bisquick or a store brand, of such. I think that’s helpful to todays crazy food prices. Happy cooking, & Baking!
One thing I do is use one protein for the week. Every meal is based in that 1 protein. This is an awesome idea! Please 🙏 keep it going.
Love, love, love! When I got to the 8 minute mark, I thought an ebook would be great, then you announced it & I cannot tell you how excited I was! This is so perfect, I have these exact ingredients stocked in my home at all times. I know this will help so many people. I would love to see more of these.
Thank you Mindy!!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Angel!
What a great idea! I love that you do vegetarian meals sometimes and I think it’d be cool if you did a vegetarian capsule! ❤
Please do another capsule meal plan. Thank you.
I would love to see more of your capsule meals.
Thanks, Paula! I’m already thinking about the next one! 😊
Yes please do more videos like this one. Very important right now with the food situation going on here. Thank you
I love this concept! I want to see more. I would also like this as a series with different weekly meal plans from the same set of 20 ingredients.
If you ever get a chance, a low carb version of this meal capsule plan would be neat. You have a lot of great ideas. I’m sure you’d make a great meal plan.
I'd love to see a vegetarian capsule meal plan. Meat is often one of the most expensive parts of a shopping list.
I would love to see you do a vegetarian capsule!
I've decided 2023 is going to be a year of health! I love watching cooking videos online but making them all does nothing for my figure lol.
I would genuinely love to watch what you would eat for a week, including your serving sizes. I know this has changed a bit since you finished ww.
Everything here looks great!
I usually watch youtube at 150%....that did not sound like bucket list when sped up!! Looking forward to checking out this video. It sounds amazing
In our apartment we turned the small "dinning/breakfast nook" into the pantry with shelves and book cases and a chest freezer i got when I traded with my mom since there wasn't a pantry.
Love, love, LOVE this concept! I'd really love to see more versions with different ingredients in the future...
I used to only use Paprika to sprinkled over deviled eggs..... but I've gotten more adventurous thanks to you! 😊
Yes, please. Give us more. Will the recipes be listed in this. Please….
Yes, there’s a list of the recipes included in the description box. In the cookbook download there is also an index. 😊
I'm new to watching your videos and they have already helped me so much! I was able to get all of my family of 5s groceries for the week for $124
I love this idea. Yes, I'd love to see another one with different ingredients. Bravo!
😊 YES PLEASE, I LIKE THE IDEAL FOR MAYBE SHOPPING AHEAD. HAVING A FEW ITEMS TO BUY AND HAVING MANY IDEALS !!🎉 🎉🎉
So helpful. Getting ready for a lean retirement, so I’m binge watching your videos. God bless. You are an excellent teacher.
I love this idea! We often buy bulk and I have trouble thinking of different ways to use things up, and end up making the same things over and over. Only thing I would change about this video is seeing the grocery haul all at once, instead of just listing the ingredients.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼this is great, thank you! Always love some fresh ideas, and this is how I cook: basically keep the same meal components on hand and make different things from them.
Would love to see a meatless capsule meal plan!!! This is a great idea!
Try adding ranch dressing to your eggs instead of the sour cream. So yummy!. Thank you for all these lovely recipes, so easy too.
Love the capsule idea. Yes more please.
More to come!
You potoes and green beans in a crock pot add large can of mixed vegies a large hand full of chicken or cooked hamberg a great soup with a sandwich quick supper
Just bought the ebook! I absolutely LOVE your videos. I watch them during my lunch hour at work. You are so kind, funny, and have such great ideas! Looking forward to your next one!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad I can give some ideas here and there. :)
Yes, please continue. These are great.
I use mushroom soup and milk for scalloped potatoes. I use the food processor to slice potatoes and onions for a quick dish
I love this, thank you. I am one who is on a tight budget and this is a huge help,, I would love to see more!! Thank you for the hard work you put into this!
I finally figured it out! I was watching an episode of Murder She Wrote (best show ever!) and I realized that you look just like the actress Erin Gray! I’ve been a subscriber for some time, and I knew you reminded me of someone! Season 5 episode 6 .😊
I love the capsule idea! We buy in bulk a lot and it would so great to rotate these sort of plans!
Thanks, Sara! I plan to do more of these. 😊
Yes please! More videos like this.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease do another capsule monthly video like this! I’ve been trying to plan my family’s meals for a months worth for a long time and I struggle planning new ideas sometimes for my picky eater.
I did another one in December, Whitney. You should be able to find it on my channel page. :)
Yes please I would love more videos like this!
Yes, please do more of this type of videos. :)
Thank you for the ideas. I’ve been cooking for what seems like years and years and need some new ideas. When I ask my husband what he wants for dinner, his response is always “food”😂 So very helpful!
Mindy I love this idea. I am planning to make them all. I really like the fact that it’s all basic stuff
Love this idea! How about doing this for shelf stable meals using dried potatoes, beans, rice, boxed mixes, canned salsa, etc. Maybe some soup and sauce recipes.... The list is endless, lol!
Bought the e-booklet! Amazing! This is such a great idea. I always buy the same things so I’m going to make a list to inspire me - given my chosen staples. More! More! Looking forward to this as a series!
I'd love to see more of these, a week at a time. Low budget using only a basic crackpot and electric skillet. I have friends currently living out of a hotel room. Family of 4, and only have a very small mini fridge.
Oh and they have no stocked pantry as they have no space to stock anything.
3:16 and I’m already so into this. You addressed budget and space benefits for this but what I see is convenience grocery shopping! Baby #1 is due in just about 2 months and I’m already a “lazy” grocery shopper. I have a lot of weeks when I just run to the grocery store and grab a few basics and maybe some sale items and just hope I can get by. This could be a great go-to shopping plan for weeks when there’s no time for meal planning before shopping!
Congrats on the baby!
My family and me truly enjoy your extreme and basic budget planning meal videos. It has saved us at times when money was tight and with the increased food prices it helps to substitute these meals in a week to help bring cost down. We just recently went from a family of four to a family of three and I have struggled meal planning since. My oldest is off to college so any way we can save some money but still have good meals I am all for it it. Please keep making more! I appreciate what you do. God bless you!
Yes, the more the better. You never know when you can get the ingredients.
Some of don't have your experience.
augratin or scalloped potatoes are my go to!
What a fantastic idea! This will be a big time and money saver. Thank you, Mindy!
Thanks, Kimberly! I really appreciate that!
This is my absolute favorite videos of yours. Thank you so much for all of the information and suggestions!
Excellent ideas! Another capsule challenge could be a vegetarian one? Say, using lentils, beans and tofu as the protein sources? (I know there are all-vegetarian channels, but I like your recipes best.) :)
This feels like your thesis, Mindy! So much work went into this meal plan. Thank you for the inspiration!
Haha! That’s a good analogy!
Yes I am single and I get bored with eating the same thing for several days. I am also not that creative. I appreciate you showing us multiple ideas along with an actual grocery list with real world prices 🥰
Yes please do more! Love this!
I do this. I keep the things I use stocked in my pantry. I mostly shop sales and clearance. For the most most part I could eat what I have for a month or so. Longer would be more basic meals. Every so often I try to limit my spending to milk and maybe as couple really good deals. But, I have stopped in just for milk, so I could use stuff I have first.
I loved this video so much, but I would have liked to see a shot of the 20 items too.
Yes! Definitely more videos like this!
I'm a little late but I'd love to see more videos like this ❤️
Such a great concept! I’d love to see more!
Please do more capsule meal plan...Thank you.❤
Ranch chicken is yummy!
Spam and onions for yor scalloped potatoes , fried potatoes onions spam. Spam fried with your scrambled eggs. Fried spam and cheese with lettuce and onions for lunch
I would love a dairy free capsule!
Just found out I have to work alot so I am using your plan. It is a life saver. I would love to have more of them
Love this, yes please do more
Very good planning and ideas, good tips with the green chili chicken and the peach crumble, I used the whole package and never thought of dividing it, now i can and have 2 with different fruit and instead of melting the butter now I can make the crumble with it. Thank you!
Just a thought and not a ridicule, try turning down the temp when you bake a poundcake. They take a long time to bake. I make mine from scratch using a one hundred years old recipe. I bake it at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. I start checking 15 minutes before that, just to make sure it hasn't cooked faster. It's divine and always requested by my seven grandchildren. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. BTW, I volunteer at a food bank and often refer clients to your vlog.
Oh that's a great idea! I'll try that next time. :)
Love your ideas.
This is amazing because you could add these items to your "stock-up" list. Meaning, when these items go on sale, do a big stock up and always have things on hand for meals. Something I've never thought of before.
That’s how most people shop this isn’t anything new
This is so amazing for cooking for one-two people! One of the biggest struggles is buying an ingredient for one meal and then it just sits in your fridge or pantry waiting to be used again. I love this for helping with food waste!
Bought! 🎉 I got married a few months ago, and this is exactly what I have been wanting/needing! I’m so excited!
Love these types of meal plans!
Love this video!
Great ideas ,you always have plans that seem feasible and yummy ! Thanks for the ideas!!🤗🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
Great video, my sweet friend! Enjoyed!
Thank you for this video! Please do more of these.
I just bought 2 of your capsule meal plans and I will buy every one that u make. These are a life saver !! Let me know how many u have, I wanna make sure I have them all lol
