- Here's how I made the banana cream pie👇
I baked the pie crust according to the package directions. I used an electric mixer to blend 2oz of cream cheese, 1 1/4C milk, and one package of banana pudding mix (the small one). I folded in 4oz of cool whip. I sliced up banana pieces in the bottom of the cooked pie crust and poured the pudding mixture over the top. Then I spread 4oz (or more) cool whip on top, and sprinkled crushed cookie pieces on top of that. It chilled in the fridge for a few hours before we thoroughly enjoyed it! :)

Yay! Who else gets excited when Mindy posts a video! Thanks for all the great ideas again!
MEEEEEEEEE
Yes! A great Monday surprise!
You're too kind. :)
🙋🏻♀️
I do I do !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoy your pantry cooking videos. Call me geeky, but using up things vs wasting them makes me happy.
Im from Michigan and people.from the midwest, myself included, never fail to be amused how a little bit of snow shuts you down in the south. Hope you all had fun on your snow days!!
Agreed. But we don’t have much snow/ice equipment here and people don’t know how to drive on it.
@@SeeMindyMomthey don’t know how to drive in it here either lol. (Michigan)
Thank you for all these videos. I’ve been financially in a tough spot the last 6 months and your videos have helped me adjust to the new reality of a tight food budget. You’ve done such a good job and I really want to thank you.
I'm so glad I could be helpful. That's my goal here. Thank you so much for the kind words. :)
I just did this too. I am so proud of myself
I never knew how much ingredients I had in the house
I schedule these types of meals into my meal plan weekly.. usually once or twice so I can stretch my weekly budget.
I am so excited I looked you up after watching Jen Chapin tonight. It's nice to see someone from Tulsa. I am definitely trying some of these meals for my crew next week.
I love your pantry cooking videos! I just did two weeks of making dinner without going to the store and I can probably do more! It’s amazing how much food we can collect over time.
So true!
Yay for pantry cooking!
And this Granny remembers hoping snow days would be over and the kiddos would get to go back to school.
Blessings to you and your family 😅
That banana cream pie looks amazing!! And your desire to “not cook” and throw stuff onto a sheet pan turned into a night of cooking in our terms of cooking in our kitchen anyway lol nicely done! Love your channel and ideas!!
This type of video really inspires me to take a good look at what I already have on hand to create meals with. Your content is amazing and just what so many of us need right now.
Thanks, Lisa!
Amen to quick sheet pan dinners!
I just pulled everything out of my pantry this weekend because it got a bit chaotic over the past year. It was nice to take note of what we actually have... it was shocking to see it all out. My husband and I were flabbergasted, especially considering how often we think we have nothing in the house!! It's beautifully organized and now I'm making meal plans to use up things we've had entirely too long. What prefect timing for this video to ignite the inspiration even more!! Thank you for your smart, thoughtful and realistic videos that are useful no matter your budget.
My family has been doing a pantry/freezer challenge this month. We are bases our menus around what we have on hand. We have only bought some fresh produce and dairy. I am feeding a family of 7 and we have saved so much this month. We are thinking about continuing it next month as we are cleaning out food that was forgotten and needed used. Win in my book!!
You're right! That is a win! :)
Rice Roni Cheddar Broccoli, combined with adding cubed ham & a vegetable of choice makes a decent meal. Thanks for all your suggestions. Happy Valentine's Day, Mindy
Great job 👏 I need to do this monthly too. We are on a very tight budget and no spend months help so much. The snow is beautiful but we are so ready for summer ☀️
I threw everything together for the beef vegetable soup. I think I should have used your recipe for the cream soups. I used a can of mushroom and chicken. I also used tomato sauce instead of V8. I may have to water it down some but it does taste really good on this cold and rainy day here in North Alabama.
Filet mignon for $5.40? That is awesome!! Your budget recipes are by far the best and most relatable on UA-cam. You make things that families will actually eat and not just for "EXTREME BUDGET" content.
Thanks, Amanda! I try to be realistic. :)
I like to use that Rice a Roni to make Creamy chicken and Wild Rice Soup.
I am will be trying the rice and ground beef casserole today. I plan to throw everything in the crockpot before heading to our homeschool co-op so everything will be done by the time we get home.
That pizza pull apart bread is GENIUS!!
Wow, I think you outdid yourself on the eat-from-our-pantry meals!!! Surf & turf, the banana coffee cake and banana cream pie - get it all in my mouth!
I made tuna fried rice tonight with whatever produce needing using. (No egg) It was delicious.
@SMM That pull apart pizza bread looks so good I might put a picture of it my wallet if I made it haha…
I love these videos. I've gotten so many great ideas for meals. I love I can accommodate them to our liking and diet. Thank you for all you do, Mindy.
Glad you like them! Thanks so much!
@@SeeMindyMom you're welcome, Mindy. Would you ever do a Q&A?!
I love this video! It really inspires me to go through my pantry to figure out dinners with the items I have on hand! Thanks for sharing!
Love how you create things to make with the ingredients you have!
Thank for keeping me company while I’m fighting a bug. Low grade temp has me in bed. Not hungry, but everything looks delicious.
Hope you feel better soon!
The small V8 cans are actually 6 oz. Also, suggestion for homemade cream of celery and mushroom soups. For celery, use veg or chicken broth with about 2 tablespoons of very finely chopped sauteed celery or a pinch of celery seed (I sometimes use both). For mushroom, use beef broth and 2-3 finely chopped and sauteed mushrooms. It's more work, but you won't be missing those crucial flavor notes. You could also make it exactly like Mindy did and add those elements to the browning meat for a short cut.
Glad your rolls turned out! I found a half a bag of the very same rolls that were hiding out in my freezer & they never rose, so I assume they were in the freezer way too long. Bummer! I really appreciate your, "Use it up" attitude. I have really been paying closer attention to freezing what we don't eat up & eating it later. Reminds me I should thaw my Thanksgiving turkey noodle soup that I made with the turkey carcass. :)
Love your videos. I never find the great deals that you reference. Congratulations on your great finds
My Mom called the rice dish,”American chop suey” It’s a family favorite!
I love this idea! I wish my partner would trust me more to whip stuff together like you do. Love the shrimp and veg dinner.
I am just about to go sort through my freezer to see what I can cook from the pantry this coming week so good timing! I can procrastinate AND hopefully get some ideas at the same time!
i use uncle ben"s long grain wild rice in the 90 second bag with shredded chicken and enough chicken broth to cover if not a little more let simmer then add cream cheese . really good on a cold day
Love your dinner ideas ! Thanks Mindy !
That dish with the ground beef, rice, and veggies is kinda similar to my mom's "mock chop suey" except she'd add those crispy fried noodle things and sometimes water chestnuts to it, as well as Worcestershire sauce. (I didn't like it but ate it anyway).
I love those simple and easy recipes. Just what I need! Thanks
I love these videos! Super helpful but they always make me soooo hungry 😂
Great ideas! I love trying to challenge myself when focusing on what we already have. Thanks for sharing. 😀
So happy to see these ❤
I'm SO jealous of your snow days! In PA we've had the warmest winter and don't think we'll be getting any winter weather here at all, boo!
Gosh Mindy!!! I LOVE/appreciate how your brain works!🥰 Another great & helpful video!
I love the sheet pan cooking meal with shrimp.
Those little potato poppers look like a nice fill in item...sadly I haven't seen anything like them in my stores.
Love these types of videos
Goodness I've been off UA-cam for a while and just watched this... thanks for reminding me about the 1st awesome cookbook. Bought that when it came out... now I need to remember where I stored it!
Love these videos!! Thank you mindy😊
Mindy and family have a great week have fun thanks from Oklahoma
Thanks Mindy! I admire your meal planning & inventory rotating skills. Great looking meals. Yum!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for the video!
that banana pie was brilliant!
My husband is currently in a nursing home and I try to make and take meals to him and his roommate. Let's face it most of those server crap so your videos give me great ideas. Thank you so much my dear
Glad I can give some ideas, Bridget. :)
@@SeeMindyMom me too, they are some of the best. Please keep them coming 🙏
Thanks for sharing cant wait to try these
Love it!
Hi Mindy Thanks I love how you help us to challenge ourselves to challenge our pantry for some great meal ideas so enjoy your videos 😊❤️
Thanks so much for the kind words! :)
So happy I found this channel!!!! ❤ I think you had me at “you’re not feeling this & sometimes you’re tired of cooking” 😅 it warms my heart to know I’m not alone! I feel so guilty for a admitting that!! 😮💨❤
My favourite videos!! ❤
Aw! My daughter has the same panda pajamas 🤗
Thanks love these kind of videos love your videos thanks ❤️ 😊
Oh my goodness! My favorite rolls! What a deal! 🎉
Oh my goodness! I use Eating on a Dime all the time!!! Great recipes!!!
That pull apart bread is genius
Definitely making that banana bread soon. You always have such great ideas. How do I know what the recipes are in the cookbook? I have a couple of your costume cookbooks and would love to check this one out too.
You are so creative. I love your channel.
Thanks, Louise!
I love these kinds of videos
Thanks, Peggy!
Some really brilliant ideas xx
Thank you! 😊
Love your videos and I’m a HUGE fan of not wasting food and using things up. I wonder Mindy if you know of a website where you type in the ingredients you have and you get recipe options? 😊❤
Love your budget videos! I am trying. As an example of prices here in Pa, a can of Progresso soup is 3.99!
That rice looks like dirty rice my mom used to make when I was growing up! 😊 looks yummy!!!
Luv a tub of “Cool Whip” possibilities are endless for desserts also a hunk a cream cheese 😂
Love a good pantry challenge! I do them too and I also do ingredient challenges - if I have one item that I just have a lot of and tend not to use that often I’ll challenge myself to make recipes to use it up!
That's a good endeavor, too! For me right now it's oatmeal. :)
That's rice dressing! I usually start it the same way you do (browned meat, aromatic veggies) and then add cooked rice! Super quick dinner, you can brown the ground beef from frozen (!) and it's delicious! Very common in Louisiana where I'm from.
Great ideas Mindy!!! I have that rice a roni too
Thanks love this kind of videos Will make rice hamburger meal thanks 😊
Hello Mindy mom, I like your tips and tricks and I do understand about buying some things that are more expensive such as organic milk.... But if you're not bothered by regular milk, I have a tip for you that I have practiced for many years. When I was consuming a lot of milk, the best price for it was the gallon jug but we could not get through it that fast my mother and I.... However what I did find was that if I put my milk into sealed glass jars at the back of the fridge, my milk would go 3 to 4 weeks past the best before date. My mother liked whole milk on her cereal so to get the best price I would just buy the gallon. The full gallon was a little heavy for her but I bought some of those glass quart size jars and she was able to pour her milk herself. I had plenty of milk to bake with or to have a drink myself if I wanted it. I do this with my coffee cream as well because sometimes I get some on a real sale and I enjoy real cream in my coffee so likewise, I will pour this into jars and put them at the back of the fridge and use them one at a time. Again I get a shelf life of about three-and-a-half to four weeks by doing so! so you might want to think about buying regular milk and doing the same thing ☺️! Thank you for all you do Mindy! Oh and I have done this with whipping cream as well!
My mom made a very similar vegetable beef soup with V8 when I was a kid! She didn't add creamy soups though. I still make a vegetarian version of the soup with chick peas or kidney beans.
That pie looks great!
It was really good! I was worried because the pudding mix was sugar free and I don’t use that much anymore, but it turned out great!
I love these videos Mindy. It’s because of you and your videos that inspired me to do my own use it up challenge! You’re awesome!❤
Thanks, Donna! So glad I could give some inspiration. :)
Great video...
Also love the Lazy Day Ladies 🙂
They are super helpful and fun!
Good stuff!
Thanks!
I live in the heart of Tulsa, so the day that I see you at Walmart, Aldi, Target, or the mall.. I will be that 42 year old fan girl and I will talk about you for at least 14 minutes about crock pot recipes. You’ve been warned.
Haha! I look forward to it, Tirsha!
Hi mindy! Great videos! How do you know how much homemade cream soup to add to the veggie beef soup. And you didnt add mushrooms and celery right?
I enjoy these. Clever girl
Mixing overripe bananas and eggs make a tasty pancake mashed together with cinnamon!
V8 is my go to as a vegetable soup base: a great starter for a minestrone style soup, and also delicious as a chilled summer gazpacho with cucumber, peppers, lemon and garlic added.
As an Aussie, I have a question. I watch quite a few US budget prep channels, but nobody seems to use fish. Is tinned fish such as tuna, salmon, anchovies and sardines very expensive in the US, or do people not like it? It’s a great source of nutrition.
I don’t know why more channels don’t use it more. I know frugal fit moms hubby doesn’t like it but I love tuna salad and tetrazzini.
I don’t have “proof” on my oven. I’ll look that up. But, I do want to make the pull apart pepperoni bread - looks great!
It just makes the oven a little warmer so the bread will rise faster.
Turning the oven light on does something similar
Just bought your cookbook, as a subscriber I have all your recipes but I wanted to help (in a small way) to support your channel
Thanks, Lisa!
I need to do this more! I have walmart plus so it's so easy to have groceries delivered whenever we "need" anything instead of trying to use up what we have.
cool
Hey! Could someone please let me know what V8 is I don't think we have this in the UK.
I compost salads fruit vegies we haven't got around to eat that are not happy left over food is fed to chicken and wild birds
3:20 - I hereby sentence her to sitting the corner until she can clearly hit that F6 in The Queen of the Night aria.
Does anyone know where to get that tan, white and black jacket?
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mindy, would you please link your crockpot? I want to purchase one!
I've been wanting one of these crock pots too!
Is it the instant pot brand one? They don't make them anymore, but I just purchased a new one that I'm testing out this week. :)
@@SeeMindyMom the one that you can brown meats in.
@@SeeMindyMom would you please elaborate about this? Why aren't they making them anymore? Does it still work well? Etc, etc, etc.
Banana bread coffee cake...ohhhhhhhhhh
Both loaves were gone by the end of the day.
I believe that. That looked delicious!
Lol hit with some weather. Wanna switch driveways this am?
I keep failing at homemade cream of.... 😩
