    When you have too much basil, you can blend it with oil and a little bit of salt to a smooth paste. Keeps wonderfully in the fridge (or freezer)!

    I was inspired by your freezer cleanouts to finally get through my chest freezer, and I haven't had to buy meat for a couple months. I'm finally to the last bits (a big pork butt that I'll probably use to make pulled pork for a party in May, and some odds and ends of sausage meat and hamburger), but it saved me so much time and money, cleaning out the freezer and the pantry. And I made up a couple of dishes I'll make over and over again.

    Hello Lisa Dawn, I love your clean-out freezer videos! I raised 5 children back in the 60 and 70's, one thing I kept in my freezer was a container and anytime I had bits and pieces of meat or vegetables I put them into my container, then I made soup when I had enough for a meal for us! Keep up what you do Lisa, there are so many that weren't raised to be frugal and we really need that knowledge now with prices so high! Love and prayers to you !

    Last night I was hungry, and thinking about Taco Bell. Nope! Put frozen fish from a month ago in the pan, rice in the rice cooker, mixed it in a bowl with roasted red pepper hummus, some feta, and spices.
    2023 has had a major change to my eating out. I hardly do anymore, and I’ve been losing a lot of weight as well as saving money.
    Still drink more than I should, but baby steps, right? 😅

  • @jillgott6567

    I am more intentional in my meals. You and WITHOUT LIMITS WITH AARYNLYNN have encouraged me to eat more from my freezer .I also am cooking usually 1 protein and using it several meals or freezing the rest before cooking another one. Also, if I use half a can of Peas in a meal I either have them at the next meal or freeze them as I cook for one it is easy to have leftover items go to waste. But this method also encouraged through watching THE MINIMAL MOM is saving me money. Thank you Lisa Dawn :)

    I don't know how bad your freezer is but mine is at least a couple or more inches thick in some places. If you do the defrosting, any tips would be appreciated. I bought a bottle of cheap vodka to try and some cheap maxi pads to absorb what towels can't. Because just leaving it open to thaw while still being an active appliance isn't a viable option for me right now. Dreading it..

    What I like to do is make the pot pie filling and then freeze it in portions. That way all I have to do is defrost it and pop it in the pie crust. I have also thinned out the filling and added pasta to make a creamy soup or put it on top of rice or orzo. So good!

    I'm allergic to garlic so I make my own BBQ sauce, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 cups Heinz ketsup, 1 pkg onion soup mix, stir n zap in microwave for 1 min stir, zap another few minutes. I make chicken breasts like that in crockpot, 5 hrs on high for frozen. I've been eating out of my freezer n then we had storms n power outages. That thawed freezer items, n had to be thrown away. Tomorrow is shopping time, I have one more day of shredded BBQ chicken tonight

    They say strawberries, kale and spinach are the ones that absorb the most pesticides and to put them in cold water and a couple spoons of baking soda in and soak for 15 mins. I don't know about anyone else but my body reacts to spinach I get made in salads for me and restaurant food so this might be proof enough for me! Take that info with you how you will. All I know is I saw the water after the strawberries and it was cloudy and black specs in it.

    Just an FYI if you have a Bargain Hunt in the area they been having the John Muir organic tomatoes for $.99 a can. I think I also saw them at Ollies and Big Lots but don’t remember the price but I know very reasonably priced for organic.

  • @Olive_O_Sudden
    @Olive_O_Sudden Рік тому

    Andrew "snacks" on uncooked pasta? I get eating dry ramen noodles, because they're already cooked and have the texture of a cracker and are sometimes seasoned, but dry pasta doesn't taste like anything and shards of it could shred up your gums even worse than Cap'n Crunch cereal. I'm not shaming him, I'm just curious what the appeal is.
