    I love your videos. Real food, real prices, real time considerations, family friendly, great variety, not too many steps, and I can get it done after work with little planning, little prep. Yes there are lots of people who are great chefs but their meals are too involved for the working mom. I dont have 2 hours to devote dinner not with after school sports, gymnastics, play practice, laundry, homework and housework. Thanks for keeping dinner real. Hopeful to get back to all those activities soon. But still don't want to devote a ton of time in the kitchen, it's just appreciated. Real food that is delicious, fast, and easy. And also, I love it when you make your $5 videos it's actually $5 for the meal it's not one of those that you click on it and find out then it's eight servings and $5 a serving. Which is what some people are doing......not realistic. I keep microwave rice on hand too....sometimes my daughter just wants rice and peas, go figure. Also, keep the dehydrated chopped onions on the shelf or frozen ones, they are a time and eye saver I use them a lot or make my own to preserve my garden onions all year. So noce to just freeze them on a cookie tray and then throw them in a ziplock freezer bag. I chop about 20 heads of garlic and do the same thing once a year. It's so much faster to just take a spoon of it out rather than peel and mince it every meal. And finally, is the instant pot pasta soggy or mushy, skeptical about making any pasta dishes in the instant pot I usually make my noodles separate because I'm worried that it's going to be a touch mushy and I can't stand mushy pasta

    For your fried rice, to get that "take out" Chinese food taste, add a tablespoon of sesame seed oil (the dark one) to your rice along with the soy sauce.

    This looks like another winner! I've been scared of my instant pot but you make it look easy. I really love how you explained that about the spaghetti sauce needing to thicken. I would have totally freaked out without that explanation. You really should consider packaging these menu plans with printables and selling them on Etsy or by subscription. Don't get me wrong: I love that they are free! But so far your channel content is worth more than a lot of the paid services.

    Thank you for sharing your Instant Pot recipes. I remember being your age & the question I asked myself every afternoon was, "What are we going to have for supper tonight"??? I didn't do a great job of planning. I did use my crockpot some, but the only thing I knew how to cook was roast, potatoes, carrots, & onions. The rest of the time I spent money on the drive-thru... Although I knew how to cook, it's difficult at best to be supermom. Thankfully, both my kids are decent cooks. I'd change many things if I could have a redo. Keep posting your great advice for meals. You're a rock star! 🙂

    I've been on the fence for a month about getting an Instant Pot and you made me decide to get one. My husband doesn't eat meat so I often make 2 separate (ish) meals and this will make it easier. I'm Asian American and have no rice cooker (gasp!) and was debating between a fancy rice cooker or the instant pot. Decided on the instant pot from your post. I've watched others but I didn't love what they cooked but your meals are very similar to what I make for my family. This seemed so much easier and looks delicious. Thanks!

  • @libbyreed8588
    @libbyreed8588 5 лет назад +40

    Until you get another Instant Pot you can order another inner pot from Amazon. That way you can cook the rice first, pull out the inner pot and replace with the other pot and complete your meal.

    • @KatherineRogers
      @KatherineRogers 5 лет назад +2

      You can also cook the rice first, then dump it in a pile on a plate, cook all else, then add your rice back. Just use the plate the rice was on as your own for dinner in case the kids or hubby notice a rice grain or two.

    On your stew meat, if you tried off the wet meat well, put your Instant Pot on sauté and let it get hot, add cold oil to hot pot, heat oil, and then throw in the meat, the meat won’t stick and will brown nicely for greater flavor. Works with any type of meat or fish in any type pan or pot. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

    I did your chicken and dumpling recipe. I made it with 2 cans of biscuits verses 1. My goodness my family loved it! Thank you. It was a lot quicker and easier. I will say with a regular crockpot for the biscuits to become dumplings you want to put it on high for about an hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours though.

    Love your meal ideas. I want to try the beef and broccoli soon. Dried dill is also a really good addition in chicken soup. I also sub out ground beef with chicken breasts, ground chicken or ground turkey when I make spaghetti. My three littles eat any of them and it’s a good way to change it up or use what I have on hand.

I hope you keep making your cooking videos they give me great meal ideas. My husband Thanks you too lol . Oh I’m sure I’m a lot older than you. Never apologize for taking a short cut in cooking especially when you taking care of a house and your family. Look at it this way , your kids look like they love vegetables that’s a huge accomplishment also your not going to a fast food place. So no matter what you cook it’s always more healthy than that option 😉 have a blessed day ❤️

    Have you though about how much frozen chicken really costs per pound? I thought I was getting a good deal. This week at Lidl (grocery store), chicken cutlets are $1.49lb, not frozen. On a regular everyday basis, frozen chicken is $1.79lb. So my natural choice would be Lidl at $1.49lb not Walmart @ 1.79lb. Next week the best price for fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts is $2 a lb. Which store is the better price? Let’s do the math.
    Walmart frozen chicken is $1.79lb, but when I read the bag it says 18% water/sodium mix injected into chicken. So 18% of my chicken is actually water/salt. 1lb=16oz. 16x18%= 2.88 oz of water for every 16oz or 1lb. $1.79x.18= $.32 for water. So your chicken costs $1.79 + $.32 = $2.11lb. That means the $2lb chicken costs less. If the bag is 2.5lb cost .27 more. What’s a quarter? $14 a year. Stock up and freeze chicken breast cutlets at $1.49 then your at .62lb savings or $1.55 week or $80.60 a year. I thought $1.79 was a bargain but it’s not. This why I need to know the real cost of my frozen chicken. Comparing them equally. Sorry if this more info than you are interested in.

      Washing meat is dangerous. The bacteria present in meat is only killed by cooking it to appropriate temperatures. If you wash it you are atomizing bacteria and spreading it all over your kitchen. Not to mention if you are buying chicken or beef or pork from any store in the country the USDA requires it be bathed in ammonia to kill germs. And the ammonia doesn't wash off. Either way, washing the meat puts you at more risk, not less, takes more time, and is completely ineffective.
