    Day-old rice refrigerated is best for fried rice. Fresh rice will be stickier in texture.

    I do not get why some folks flip out over Ramen! Millions of us eat it and make our own sauce minus the seasoning packet! Julian was INTENTLY watching you roll up that Caesar wrap. He’s so cute and patient with helping you. (All of your boys are darling.) thanks for the great recipes, I saw some I am going to try! I am a faithful viewer, 75 years old and still learning!

      my mom is a retured nurse and is cosntantly fussing about my oldest daughter eating "so much" ramen but my daughter NEVER uses the pouches. We save them and donate them to her friends who do. I dont get it either..she actually only eats about 20 packs a year, I KNOW because I gift her 20 packs for Hannukah every year and that is the ONLY time she gets them.

      I love ramen but lately it's been Knorr bouillon and egg noodles instead. I also add cream of chicken to it. I cook a lot sometimes.

    I learned to get the most out of stir fry rice, to let the rice cool down /refrigerate before adding into the hot veggies. This will crisp up the rice in the end!

    Thanks for all the ideas! I struggle so much with pantry cooking and using it up. I just keep getting more because it’s on sale, etc. I have two deep freezers full and two huge pantry cupboards. I try for a week or two, and then I back at the store.

      @wallashakalla 28 дней назад +1

      You have to break the buying it because it’s on sale habit. It’s not worth it to buy it and it ends up expiring or getting freezer burned. Shop your pantry and fridge, then meal plan around that.

    Chicken Pot Pie Casserole notes: If using canned chicken check the label. Most liquids in the can are just broth, don't throw it out. Add it to your other liquids for additional chicken flavor. Shy on chicken? Make up the difference with a can of garbanzo beans/chickpeas. Don't have a biscuit or crust for the top? Top it with mashed potatoes. Even a simple instant will work nicely. If you'd like, you can top the potatoes with cheese, similar to a cottage/shepherd's pie.

    I have been making your chicken pot pie casserole since you posted last year or the year before! It is my toddlers favourite food of all time, he asks for it at least twice a week and even for his birthday dinner! If anyone asks his favourite food he always says chicken pot pie 🥰

    I feel like I’m always on a pantry clean out. Guess it’s not a bad habit to have. Thanks for the ideas! Try fried onions on your chicken/ broccoli/ rice casserole for a little crunch. We too are surviving the cold that never goes away.

    hey new to cooking , and i have a question? you said on your chicken soup to dice up carrots? to me i thought dice was to cut into squares or cubes? but you sliced these? could you tell me if dice has a different meaning than cut into squares or cubes? What is dice to you? Thanks

    • @MealsWithMaria
      @MealsWithMaria  Месяц назад

      Ah yes, technically you’re correct! Dice is more like a square and slice is more accurate for a carrot! I’ll keep that in mind! Sounds like you’re already well on your way to being an expert!!!
