    I’ve gotten those paste in the tubes. They are like super concentrated, especially the ginger and the Italian herbs. I usually use about half of what the recipe calls for. I think baby Bella’s are better for Italian seasoned recipes and for drier heating methods like oven roasting or air frying. For Asian style recipes I try to go for Asian style mushrooms like oyster, shiitake, enoki, etc. I take a tiny piece of plastic wrap and cover the open end of the tube before twisting the lid back on. It keeps fresher longer and keeps the threads of the cap from getting dirty or sticking like stuck toothpaste tubes. Love your channel!! Always love the lunchbox videos, the husband ones are my fave. I take my lunch to work every day and I’ve used tons of your ideas! Even got my own heated lunch box and mini crockpot after I watched how easy it was to keep the food hot. 😉☺️😊🤗

    Yay! all of the dishes looked great! I think the corn dogs with homemade chili would be awesome for football season! your last dish, I like to do the kielbasa with potatoes, onions and cabbage! I brown the kielbasa, then cook the potatoes so that they brown some, then add the cabbage, I put the kielbasa on top of the cabbage so that it does flavor it somewhat, I just add a little bit of water and put a lid on it until everything is tender! It is one of the dishes that I make frequently in the winter! it is just my husband and I, but we both love it! thanks for sharing! xoxo

    Looks delicious! I recently learned that there is two types of sesame oil. Un-toasted which has a high smoking point. This type you could heat and then pan fry vegetables in etc.. Then there is toasted sesame oil that’s darker in color, that you can drizzle as is-over noodles, vegetables etc as a condiment if you will! Just a tip:) 💕

    I always enjoy your videos. I love mushrooms of all kinds. Maybe slicing them thinner might help. If not, no worries. They're not for everyone. At least you tried them. I'm not a huge fan of ginger so I ALWAYS go light if it's in a recipe, if I add it at all. Sesame oil is a pretty strong flavor as well. I didn't know that the first time I used it. Lesson learned 😉

Never would try mushrooms as a child, I only tried them for the first time in my 30's. Only use white button mushrooms, and only like a few slices! Have never tried that marry me chicken recipe.

    Kristin, I am 99% vegetarian and you and your family are BIG carnivores; however, I still love watching your videos. Surprisingly, there have been recipes I was able to modify to my tastes. Plus, it astounds my (carnivore) daughter when I can suggest menu items to her 😂. The only thing I worry about is the amount of carbs in your planning. But, that's my problem. I am diabetic and have a heart problem so I count fats, carbs and sodium. Like I said, it's a "me" problem.
    Maybe I live vicariously through your menus. I still enjoy your channel mightily and wish you continued success!
