We love chicken and rice! Yum! Thanks for sharing! Everything looks great 👍! God Bless and have a wonderful week!
@Brenda Tate - Hi Brenda!! Thanks so much for stopping by and watching this week! I agree, I adore chicken and rice (very nostalgic for me), but Tim is not really a fan, LOL! It is just comfort food to me :) Hope you have a fantastic week ahead as well! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Thank you for sharing Stacey have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤
@Debbie Reilly - thank you so much for watching and commenting this week Debbie! I hope you have a great evening too, and that the week ahead is incredibly blessed and joyful!! Hugs ----Stacy 😍💚💜
When I make a new recipe and follow it and it makes a ton for my family of three, I freeze it for another night when I don’t feel like cooking.
@CindyRose - Hi there, and welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel, and for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment. We are so glad you are here, and hope that you will enjoy the content on our channel. 💖💜 I agree with that, if it is a meal that freezes (I don't tend to freeze things with dairy or potatoes, and other ingredients). And in the years when I cooked for the two of us and was not concerned about RUclips, I froze food all of the time. However, now, to be honest, I do try to cook more so that we will have more original content to share with our RUclips family and friends. It doesn't work as well to just defrost something from the freezer and heat back up, it's not overly interesting content, LOL!! If I wasn't filming for RUclips, though, I would definitely do that, and enjoy a night off in the future. haha! We appreciate the feedback, and look forward to hearing more from you in the future :) Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
The donuts with the powder sugar yummy. ❤❤❤❤
@Debbie Reilly - that was a fun experiment! I didn't get them made in time to include in the "17 Breakfast Ideas" video, but they were still fun to play with. I will alter the quantities next time, since the original recipe called for mini donut pans and mine were regular size (which yielded a thinner donut). They still tasted really good though, and we both enjoyed them!! 😍💚
Happy October to you both! The meal you made for yourself, you know I'm on board with that! Everything looked good!
@If The Creek Don't Rise - Hey girl!! Thanks so much for stopping by this week and watching!! Happy October to you and your sweet family too (it's my favorite month of the year!). You picked my favorite meal of the week, hands down, LOL!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕Hey y’all love the video have a blessed Sunday
@Ms Keyshia - Hey Keyshia!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week!! So glad you are enjoying the content :) Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I do not have an Instant Pot, but a friend uses a black metal binder clip to secure her insert when she stirs so it doesn't spin. She then has both hands free.
@Michelle Stanek - Hey there Michelle!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching again this week! I hope you guys are well up north (you're probably starting to feel fall temps, but we are not down south, LOL!). That's a great idea on the binder clip, and I've seen that as well. It is something I just never remember to do, but a great tip, thanks! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
All those meals looked really good! Mmmm, that BBQ looked exceptionally good! Potato salad, baked beans, the sandwich. I’m not even a big meat eater & that looked good! Have a great evening! 😁💜
@Kathy Conger - Hey Kathy!!! Thank you so much for stopping by this week and watching! You should come here and go eat BBQ with Tim - he loves it and I am happy to pass or eat anything else, LOL!!! Hope you are well and will have a great week ahead. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall Lol! Yes, I’ll just pop over nxt time!😆 I have had such a craving for baked beans lately, as a meal, in the crockpot! The kind with the ground beef, lots of onion, some sweet peppers....Mmmm!
You & Tim have a wonderful wk!😁💜
@@kathyconger2188 - thanks, you too!!
Chicken and rice looks delicious, thanks
@Christeen Price - Hey Christeen!! Thanks so much for stopping by and watching this week! Hooray, so glad to hear that the IP chicken and rice sounds good to you, hope you get a chance to try it! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Hello my sweet friend I hope you and Tim are doing well. The food looks delicious..I enjoyed watching the video.
@Stacey Grier - Hi Stacey! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week's video! We appreciate the support! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Everything looked delicious. I wanted to find a new way to dress ramen. I like it but not crazy about that seasoning packet. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
@hotmama298 - Hey girlie! Thanks so much for stopping by and watching again this week! Tim's "rumien" is just a total carb-load and incredibly sentimental for us. We eat it when we need comfort food, LOL!! We don't ever use the seasoning pack, just use whatever you like and make it fit your taste buds :) We have to watch our sodium intake these days and those packets are sodium bombs, LOL!! Hope you guys have a great week ahead too! Have a blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Hi Stacy! The veggie stir fry looked so good
@Jeanie Stoltz - Hey Jeanie! Thank you so much for stopping by this week and watching! That was "my treat" and totally for me, since Tim was at a men's event at church and was being well fed. I enjoyed it immensely!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Another great video and yummy looking good! I love October! I started decorating but haven't finished yet. We will be on the coast this coming week for Cruisin the Coast, so I will finish decorating next week lol. Have a great week!
@Mrs Acosta78 - Hey Viki!!! I'm SO happy to hear from you! I hope you guys have been doing well and things are returning to normal around you and the entire area. I know there's still issues leftover from Ida, but I do hope they are not impacting y'all all that much. Ooh, Cruisin on the Coast will be a blast, y'all enjoy every minute! Then, please, head north and come decorate my house for me... I've pulled my fall bins and totes out of the attic, but have just barely started myself - come help! LOL!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I hope you and Tim are doing well, thanks so much,🙏🏻🤩🤩
@Christeen Price - we are doing great Christeen! I hope you guys are too, thanks so much!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Everything looks delicious Stacey that's a interesting recipe Rama and rice I may give this a try ramen too funny. 🤗😊🥰😊
@Debbie Reilly - Debbie, that is totally Tim's creation from his military days! Born of necessity when he barely had money to eat, he came up with that concoction of rice, ramen noodles, seasonings, and then he threw in eggs (for protein) and cheese (to make it creamy). It's totally unhealthy and incredibly sentimental for both of us. If I'm sick or not feeling well, he always makes it for me, and I love it!! I hope you get a chance to try it sometime! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I need to do some shopping this week, I love noodles and rice so Dee Dee and I will love this I'll be thinking about you bother when I make and eat. Stay safe and stay many prayers and love for you and Tim always.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
@Debbie Reilly - this is total comfort food for us, and can totally be made to fit your tastes. It is very high in carbs and no redeeming qualities as far as health and nutrition go, so we try not to have it all that often, LOL!! 😂😂😂😂
Yum that ramen stir fry is right up my alley , I don’t need the meat either , but my husband is like Tim 😂
@Angela Forcier - Hello Angela!!! Thank you so much for stopping by again this week and for watching and commenting! Hooray, so glad that I'm not the only one who just likes some noodles and veggies and no meat! I was perfectly happy to have that for my dinner and lunch the next day, and thankfully, Tim was well fed (with plenty of meat!) at church, LOL! Win-win, so that's always great for me :) Hope you guys are having a great week so far. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
You definitely chose some yummy looking dishes this time. Since I am only cooking for myself most days, I am so bad about taking the easy way and cooking the same things way too often. Hopefully I will step out of the box and try a few of these.
I have always heard that if your meat sticks to the pan, it needs to cook a bit longer. It is ready to flip when it will release. Who knows, but it is worth trying.
@jean massey - Hi Jean!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week! Oh my, cooking for one is even incrementally harder than cooking for two. I've often told Tim that if I didn't have him to cook for, I'd likely eat popcorn, cereal and eggs most of the time and hardly ever cook. Good for you for cooking and even doing the same things, that's still a big step. I hope you find some inspiration from some of the meals, though I do cook enough for us and for leftovers for lunch the next day. Oh, and you are right about the meat, I've always heard and observed that as well. I always try to stick to a recipe as written the first time I make it, and that one had you flipping the chicken after a couple of minutes, but it's obvious that it had not released fully and was not quite ready. Live and learn!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Hello My Sweet Friend!
Everything looks delicious like usual. We had tacos on Friday and breakfast tacos yesterday morning. 😁
We made fajita bowls last night for dinner. I put mine on a salad and thought of you. 😊
I am with you about take out bbq. I am not a fan. But I do love to grill my own meats, chicken, pork, etc.
I am not feeling like myself. It's been a depressing week for me but this is a new day and a new week and I know the Lord had great plans for me.
Right now I am sauteeing mushrooms, onions, garlic to freeze. I use this mixture instead do creme of mushroom from a can. I can just throw it in my crockpot with my protein and cook. The proteins make so much water that I dont need to add much water or broth. I add my dried herbs, some bouillon granules and towards the end I add some milk. It's just loaded with flavor. The can stuff upsets my tummy sometimes. I use it when I dont have this mixture I am making on hand.
Have a wonderful and blessed week my friend. ❤🙏
@Yvette Bennett - Hey hey hey Yvette!! Thank you so much for stopping by, my sweet friend, and for watching and commenting! You guys are eating GOOD at your house, that all sounds pretty fantastic to me! I'm so very sorry that you are not feeling great. I get like that, a lot actually, and I always call it "in a funk". I usually tell Tim, better watch out, I'm feeling out of sorts today, or feeling blue today, or feeling like I'm just stuck in a funk, and he steers clear, usually, LOL! It's perfectly ok to have those days, I think we all do, but I am sorry that it's hitting you right now. I think staying busy is great, and cooking for your family sounds like a good solution :) Me, I try to read (since I tend to read primarily Christian fiction) because it helps me focus and keeps my mind off me and my problems. Now, as to you cooking mushrooms, onions and garlic to freeze as a sub for cream of mushroom soup, I am SO INTRIGUED! I love that idea, and may need more info and a trial run on that. Like you, I'm not fond of cream of x soups, though I use them occasionally. I love your idea, and then you just add some broth and milk, seasonings and bouillon? It doesn't sound like it would be thick like a cream of soup, but you find it works as a good substitute? I love this idea, thank you for sharing that with me! Prayers for you, that you will feel peace, comfort and joy in the days ahead. Hugs! ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall I am sensitive to dairy so it's not thick like a cream of mushroom but you can use heavy whipping creme, half & half or whole milk. You can thicken it with a thickener as well. Many possibilities.
Yes I was mostly depressed and it's too long to discuss here. I am doing better today. Praise the Lord for His help. 🙏
I cant do this life without Him. Things just get to me. Keeping busy is helping me but I am pooping out now. I still have to roast my chicken thighs for dinner. It's easy. Will bake chicken, bake potatoes, a veggie and a salad. 😊
@Yvette Bennett - praying for you this morning, my sweet friend, and hoping today is a better day. And if not today, then tomorrow! Get some rest, do something that makes you happy and find some joy in today, Yvette!! Hugs ---Stacy 😇💚
@@LetsCookYallYou are so sweet Stacy. Thank you. Sleep is a huge problem. When I do not sleep well my mind is just not right.
Yesterday was a good day. Today has had its troubles but I am spending even more time with the Lord and that helps me a bunch. I stop what I am doing and read The Word, some scriptures, etc. I pray a lot. He is my strength, my joy, my song.
Blessings and love to you my sweet friend. 🙏❤
@@yvettebennett6170 - goodness, yes, sleep is very important but always elusive when other things are going on. For me, it's like I can
turn off my brain. I'm so glad you are finding ways to stay busy, and stay in the word, will be praying for peace and comfort (and a good night's sleep!) for you. Hugs!
Oh my heavens that Octoberfest food looked soooo good! Thank you for your service Tim! Looks like you guys had a delicious week!
@Nancy Osgood - Hi Nancy!! Thank you so much for stopping by again this week and watching! You are so sweet - and you are so right - the food from our Oktoberfest was REALLY good! They had to cancel it last year due to Covid, so we were so pleased that they were able to have it again this year. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Everything looks amazing!!! 😊
@My Quaint Cottage - Thank you so much for stopping by and watching, and for the sweet feedback!! 😊 Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall You're welcome
The noodles and vegetables are going to be my favorite, will be making tomorrow. Yummy. 💕💕💕
@Debbie Reilly - Hey Debbie! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching! Hooray, I bet your veggie lo mein will be great, just add whatever veggies you like and season it to your taste (Tim likes things spicy but I do not, so I got to make it more to my liking, since he was gone that day!). Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Looks delicious !😘
@Jutta Kasapis - Hi Jutta! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week's video! We appreciate the support! Hope you are well and having a great weekend so far. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I seen a crock pot just like yours at a resale shop other day and thought of you ...was so tempted to buy it but I already have 3 so I left it for someone else
@Tam Peters - Hi Tam! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching! Oh wow, if I had seen another West Bend slow cooker, I totally would have grabbed it! I never see any (but then again, I don't really go to garage sales, estate sales or thrift stores very often). You should have gotten it, because it's really a great size for two people, plus because it's thinner and sits on a griddle/hot plate, you can get a great sear on things like chicken or pork chops. That was very sweet to leave it for someone else to get though!!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Love that you are putting your sweet self more in videos. Great job as always!
@Christy Rouse - Hey Christy! Aww, you are so sweet, thank you for that! It's incredibly hard for me though. I much prefer to be behind the camera, so stepping out in front is VERY difficult. Thank you for noticing and commenting, though, and for your sweet encouragement!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Looks delicious ❤️
@Mary Kelly - Hi Mary!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week! 😋 Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Hi Stacy! Yay for no burn notice yet! I got one when I was making rice once. I panicked lol Thankfully it wasn’t actually burned but it was sticking to the bottom. I got it off quickly!
I always forget to spice up my pinto beans but you always do and I’m sure it’s much better. I need to remember to do that! Oh we love Dickeys! I’m not a bbq fan either but the last time we went there I got a big baked potato and it was really good. We haven’t been there in years because the one you by us is not in the best or safest area but I remember the girls loved the sled serve ice cream. Well, I enjoyed it too. Lol I wonder if they still have that?
Tim’s concoction sounds like something that Shadd would make too. I think it’s neat that you make it for him after all these years. I hope you are both doing ok and that comfort food helped you to feel better after your day! Bug hugs to you!! I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday! ❤️
@Logues Life - Hey Krista! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching!! I'm so sorry you have gotten the dreaded burn notice. I do everything in my power to deglaze and scrape the inner pot of the IP, and try to avoid one. I am glad you were able to fix yours!! I hope you guys are doing better and that Carson is on the road to recovery. Hugs to everyone!! Have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Happy October y’all! 🎃 It’s my favorite month, and our weather is finally starting too cool off a bit. The new chicken & rice recipe looks delicious, as does everything else. Keith’s like Tim, he’s gotta have meat in every meal, ha! Your stir fry with egg rolls would be perfect for me. I make stuff like that for myself when he’s traveling. Good call! And homemade donuts sound tasty too! Have a wonderful week! 😊
@Our 80's Life - Hey Abby!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week! I'm with you, I love October, but we are still fairly warm down here (as I'm sure y'alls family in Texas is too!). Maybe by Thanksgiving, we'll have some fall type weather, LOL! Guys and their meat - I wonder what's going to happen if Keith or Tim ever hears from a doctor that for health reasons, they need to cut back on meat? I know what will happen here - sheer rebellion, LOL!!! Hope y'all had a great weekend and that this week is abundantly blessed!! Give Jesse a big belly rub for me! Hugs ----Stacy 😍💚
Everything looked delicious. We love brats and I never think to pick up some. We like them grilled on rye bread with mustard. I am not a huge mustard fan but do like it on brats and hotdogs. On hotdogs I like mustard, ketchup and relish. We also love saurkraut. I hope you and Tim are doing well. Everyone here is doing great.
@Donna Gribbins - Hi Donna!! Thank you so much for stopping by this week and watching! I think you and Mark should get some brats and do them on rye bread this coming week, or the next, that sounds amazing! We don't usually eat them except in the fall (we like them for "football food") :) Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Tacos and guac, always a fav!!! And, veggie stir fry, yes please!!!!! Your taste tester arrived 😂😂😂 BBQ and Octoberfest dinner take out, also have me drooling 🤤 Thanks for sharing! Hope you guys are doing well ❤
@JANET & ERIC - Hey Janet!! Thank you so much for stopping by girl, you are so sweet! It is just a normal week here, with me cooking an Asian dish for me (my favorite) and something Mexican for Tim (his favorite), LOL! Gotta to stick to what we love, some weeks. Sometimes, we just need comfort food :) Hope you and Eric are well and enjoying the weekend. Bet y'all are having some great fall weather (still in the 80's down here!). Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Do you have a video on your taco mix? Looks very flavorful. 💕
@Melanie Kennedy - Hi Melanie! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching again this week! We include our recipe for Taco Seasoning and our Homemade Ranch seasoning in the Show More or Description box of each video. Right now, however, I am using some homemade taco seasoning that a friend gave me, and it is really flavorful!! Ours is similar but probably not quite as tasty because she used a really good chili powder (and I tend to use the cheaper ones from Kroger or Walmart). I think Taco seasoning is all about the quality of the chili powder, since that is the main ingredient. Anyhoo, if you are interested in trying my recipe and maybe modifying it to fit your tastes (I do cut back a bit on salt for purely health reasons, we have borderline high blood pressure issues here) , the link is here: hambones.org/letscookyall/index.php/recipe/stacys-taco-seasoning-mix/. Hope that helps, and thanks for the great feedback!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I made the baked oatmeal bars, I doubled the recipe so I could share with my neighbors( the cinnamon addiction fabulous )everyone loves them .This will be on my favorite recipe list. Thank you soooooo much. ❤💕❤💕❤💕
@Debbie Reilly - Hey Debbie! Hooray, I'm so happy that you guys all enjoyed the baked oatmeal! That makes me so happy!! (I so wish you had been able to put this comment on the 17 Breakfast Ideas video, so we could have shared your feedback with other subscribers). I appreciate you taking the time to let me know, and I know y'all are enjoying it! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall tell me how to go back and I'll put on that video.
@@debbiereilly900 - it's ok, no worries! If you did want to try, though, it would depend on what kind of device you are on. If you are using a computer, and possibly even your phone, you should be able to bring up your comment from the dinner video, copy it, and then go over to the Breakfast video, start a new comment, and paste the same text in. I cannot do it for you, because I can't alter or move comments from subscribers (I can just delete them, which I occasionally have to do when they are incredibly mean and unkind or they are spam, we even get porn spam on our channel, which is crazy!). But it's really not a biggie! I just love that you made it and it worked for you, and if that was in the comments on that particular video that it pertained to, it might help others in the future! Thank you for offering, you are so kind Debbie!! Hope you and DeeDee (is that your sister's name, having a brain freeze, ha!) are having a great start to the new week!! 💜💖
Hi Stacy. Thank you for another video! I was wondering if you ever used the slow cooker option on your instant pot. I have both slow cooker and instant pot but my instant pot is always out and my slow cookers is usually put away therefore I always feel like it's easier to just use my instant pot. I have yet to use the slow cooker mode on it but thought it would be more convenient to use IF it does do a good job in cooking in that mode.
@JuJu Bi - Hi there! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week's video! I have NOT ever used the slow cooker option on my IP. I have read too many horror stories about how it doesn't work well, to risk doing anything in mine. Meat is just too expensive right now for me to experiment with. I actually own 3 slow cookers, so it's just as easy for me to get one of those out as the IP, and I trust them more, LOL!! If you try it, let me know if it works for you. No one I know has had much luck with it, since it is basically a pressure cooker and not meant to be a slow cooker. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Everything looks delicious! I think the IP chicken and rice looks like a good one to try, I'm like you in that I like to make a new recipe as is the first time :) That's a good looking taco bar with fixings, I'm sure who you took it too also enjoyed it. I love the stir fry with the veggies and noodles, that's up my alley! I made your rumien once quite a while back after you showed it, I really liked it. Donuts look especially yummy and fun to get German food at Oktoberfest! Hope y'all have a great week.
@Gail B - Hey Gail!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week! Who doesn't love a good taco bar, right?! Lots of choices, and it was all really good. I enjoyed my veggie lo mein while Tim was gone (nice to cook without meat for a change!). We love bratwurst, thinking I may do them again soon, LOL! It's that time of year!! Hope y'all have a great week ahead too. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I’ve had a really nice Instant Pot for about a year…I’ve made hard boiled eggs in it a few times…I love how easy they are to peel, but the white is really rubbery to me. I tried a 4-4-4 method instead and that was better. Otherwise, I’m just afraid of the thing, lol! Maybe I watched too many old movies where the pressure cookers would explode. I know it wont explode like that (I’m pretty sure) but maybe I just need to start trying some more things in it to lose the fear of it. I have no fear of any other kitchen appliance but this one, lol. Also, I find that you have to pay a lot of attention to it to see when it’s come to pressure, when it’s depressuring, etc, which sort of defeats the purpose of it making things easier, so I can set a timer and just come back in a bit, instead of being over a frying pan or a Dutch oven, which is fine, when I want to do that, but…I don’t know, maybe I just need to practice with it more. I should have gotten the air fryer instead, lol! The meals look great! For the Asian dishes, Lawry’s makes a great Sesame Ginger marinade that you can use as that, add to a stir fry, or use as a dipping sauce. Fantastic! I love the Kikkoman Soy Sauce and Teriyaki sauce, too!
@Molly Dye - Hi Molly!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching! LOL on the Instant Pot! I have one, and was terrified in the beginning. My mama had an old school stovetop pressure cooker that blew one time and it definitely traumatized me. However, these new electric ones are as safe as can be. There's no way for it to pop its top because of the pin that keeps it sealed. It is just not a possibility, so I don't worry about that at all. I do like to do certain items in mine (like hard boiled eggs, potato salad, ribs, beans, some soups and a few dishes we have tried and liked). However, overall, mine sits in a cabinet for weeks or even months at a time. Our air fryer, on the other hand, sits out on the countertop and is used almost daily. Since it's just the two of us and an air fryer is basically a small contained oven, it's very convenient. I don't have to wait on my "big" oven to preheat, and things cook quicker, because it's small and contained. We love ours and use it all of the time!! Thanks for the tip on the Lawry's sesame ginger - I knew I had not heard of it. Checked my two local grocery store options (Kroger and Walmart) and neither carry it, so I'll just continue to make up my own marinades and such. Thanks for the feedback! Take care and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall Thanks so much for responding, I’m glad I’m not the only one who has been a little afraid of their instant pot. I wish it did some with a non-stick interior (don’t know if that would work in a pressure cooker) so you didn’t have to worry so much about scraping up the fond to not get the “Burn” notice. If I understand correctly, soups that are cream based (or dairy stuff in general…milk, cream, etc) doesn’t work well in the Instant Pot. Anyway, I’ll pull it out, and try some more stuff. Lots of good deals on Air Fryers right now…I’d love this combo one from Costco that also doubles as a toaster oven and Rotisserie as well as all the air fryer stuff…I have my eye on it, lol! If you are interested in having a product in your local store, probably works better at Kroger, you can always ask at the service desk if they will stock it. I’ve heard that stores are pretty responsive to this. Otherwise, if you want to give it a try, it’s probably on Amazon, lol. Making your own is always best, we don’t have a good Asian market near us to make a lot of the Asian marinades, so I tend to use this, Kikkoman, and Kinder’s Teriyaki is also a good one. Thanks for the great content, and may your day be blessed as well.
@Molly Dye - Hey Molly! They actually make a ceramic insert for the Instant Pot, so you can do different things like mac and cheese and other dishes if you don't want to bother to deglaze and get up the fond. My sister has the ceramic insert and really likes it. Here's a link to the 6 quart version (the size we use) in case you are interested (Note: Amazon affiliate link, you don't pay a penny more but we get a small commission for the referral if you purchase from our link) - amzn.to/3CFaB9Q. As for the dairy, you are so right! I think anything with dairy works best to pressure cook it plain, then add the cream or milk or cheese or cream cheese after it is over. Here's a link to an IP Tuscan Chicken Pasta that we've made many times, and we always pressure cook the other ingredients, then at the end, after we release the pressure, then we switch to saute and just cook until the dairy is melted and incorporated -- ruclips.net/video/pZC51frhAcc/видео.html. Also, we've been making a family favorite we call Crockpot Chicken Santa Fe in our crockpot for over 20 years and I worked on converting it to the IP (you melt in cream cheese at the end). Same principle, cook the chicken and beans beforehand, release the pressure, then melt in the cheeses - IP Chicken Santa Fe is here: ruclips.net/video/RXb9BVcugcE/видео.html. Air Fryers are definitely gaining in popularity! We purchased our first one in 2018 (not the one we currently use, we had manufacturing issues with the first brand) and have used it regularly ever since. As I said, the IP stays in a cabinet, while the AF is left out to do all sorts of things every day. Have a great weekend, and a Happy Thanksgiving! ---Stacy
@@LetsCookYall Thank you so much! That is such great information, and I will definitely check out the ceramic insert from your link. Hey, you do a lot of work making videos, I have no problem with you being compensated with things like Amazon, good for you!!! Glad I was right about the dairy, and it sounds pretty easy to sort of get around that issue. Thank you so much for all of the helpful information!!!
Great recipes as always Stacy! The chicken and rice looked nice. It would have also been nice with fried rice flavours! The donuts looked delicious as well. You should try them warm rolled in cinnamon and sugar. That's my favourite donut flavour! Hope you're both well. Happy day from Sally, Les and the fur crew! ❤😊🍩🍩
@superbellabeau - Hi Sally!! Thank you so much for stopping by this week and watching! I agree, I love fried rice, but then again, I have very fond memories of chicken and rice that my sweet grandmother made for me when I was young (Tim does not share these memories and is not as fond of it as I am, LOL!). I love donuts in most all shapes and forms, and am totally with you (in our last video, 17 Breakfast Ideas, we showed our favorite mini muffin, which is a cinnamon sugar donut in muffin form, tastes just like one, and it's SO good, because you roll them in butter warm, and then dunk them in a cinnamon sugar mixture). If you have mini muffin pans, you should definitely try them for you and Les!! Hope you guys have a fantastic week ahead!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Everything looked delicious ! The donuts looked amazing, my mouth was literally drooling ha ha
The take out food looked good too........... Stacy : Where's mine ? Tim suddenly has hearing difficulties ha ha
Hope you enjoyed your German street food, it all looked lovely ! Stay safe x
@Melanie Lester - Hello Melanie!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this week's video!! You are so sweet, and I loved your comments!! Yes, Tim often has VERY selective hearing, but we were totally teasing each other! I am not a fan of BBQ like he is, so I often suggest for him to stop and pick some up for just him, if we are out and about and he's hungry (which is often!), if I have something at home (like my stir fry or other leftovers that I like and he's not as crazy about). It's a win win for me :) The bratwurst were so good, and we were tickled pink that they were able to resume this Oktoberfest festival again this year, after it was cancelled last year due to Covid. Fun!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
@@LetsCookYall Thanks Stacy ! So glad that you were able to enjoy Oktoberfest again, I bet it was great ! Will look forward to more of your appetizing recipe ideas ! Stay safe x
@@melanielester2106 - thank you Melanie, you are so sweet! We are definitely staying safe, and hope you are as well. Take care!! Have a blessed day ---Stacy
@@LetsCookYall ...Thanks Stacy 😁
I have a West Bend like yours that I don’t use very often, but I do like it. How long did you cook the chicken breasts on low for the taco spread?
@Patricia Burke - Hi Patricia! Thank you for stopping by and watching! I love and adore my small, very old, little West Bend cooker. Mine is "nonstick" but I still spray the liner, then add chicken breasts, seasonings, taco seasoning and salsa and cook until the breasts are cooked completely and falling apart. I tend to use setting 4 or 4.5 and it usually takes 2.5-3.5 hours in mine, depending on the thickness of the breasts. That's the great thing about the West Bend, just take off the lid and check them with a meat thermometer (chicken should be 165 degrees F) or pull on them with a fork and see if they are falling apart enough, so they are easy to shred. I hope you get a chance to make them in there sometime! I also love to use my air fryer to "grill" boneless skinless chicken breasts for Taco Tuesday or other recipes. Have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy
@@LetsCookYall thank you! I’ll give it a try!!
Hi Stacy, great video! My family seems like the idea of chicken and rice in theory, but it seems like unless it's chicken and rice soup they find something to complain about lol. I think that Ramen stir fry looks really good. I usually make a soft boiled or fried egg in my Ramen and usually cook the noodles in chicken broth, I also sometimes cube up pork chops and make bake them after marinating them in a soy sauce marinade. My kids call it "fancy Ramen" when I do that. Those donuts look super delicious. Your Oktoberfest food looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!
@The Pinterest Failure - Hey girl!! Thanks so much for stopping by and watching this week! Your "fancy Ramen" sounds amazing! I almost always put meat in any fried rice or stir fry, with or without noodles, because Tim always needs meat. He was at a men's event at church, so I was free to make some thing meatless for me, which made me all kinds of happy, LOL!! Hope you guys are having a great weekend so far. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
hahaha i just told ray this weekend i was craving dickeys,,,yummmmmmmm,,,
@InYour Dreams - Hey Stacy!! Thanks so much for stopping by and watching! I think you and Ray need a date night this week at Dickey's then!! LOL! One night planned already, woo-hoo! LOL!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Hi Stacy! Happy football Sunday! I think the Saints have a great chance at winning today. The Eagles were on two separate channels so we can’t watch the Cowboys. :( hopefully it’s just this one time. All the years I have watched football I don’t get the reasons why every two years a team plays a team once but only once!😂 The cheifs haven’t played the Eagles in years but they came to Philadelphia today. I’m very glad the Saints play only one game against the Cowboys in the season!😊 That’s every year though since the schedule isn’t ever two years SO confusing! I know it’s to play the different divisions but that’s where my brain turns into scrambled eggs! Same with the different leagues in baseball. Making my buffalo cauliflower for next week’s football since I think we’ll be on tv!! I had no idea about Dak and Mississippi’s college! :) I feel terribly for him last year with his broken ankle and losing his older brother. Sorry you don’t like your quarterback! Bethel music and Cory Asbury came out with a new album! Homecoming is the popular single. So good and gives me chills! Bethel I haven’t listened to until this album! Each song has different singers! Love your veggie meal that’s pretty low cholesterol! 😉 I didn’t know Oktober fest was German! Learned something this video. “Talk” to you soon sweet friend! Go Saints!💛
@Taylor LaVerdiere - Hey Taylor!! Thanks so much for stopping by and checking in today! I'm sorry you are not getting to see your Cowboys :( I'm glad we live in an area that always shows our Saints, LOL!! Yes, Dak went to Mississippi State and played college ball, so we love him around here! (Not like Ole Miss, which is where Eli Manning went, also a Mississippi university, and like Tim's alma mater, the University of Southern Mississippi, which is where Brett Favre played his college football). We have a great tradition of football down south, you know!! Yes, the veggie lo mein was so good and so easy, and I bet your buffalo cauliflower will be awesome for the game next week!! Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
Let's Cook Y'all what lucky ducks!!! Maybe it’s because Mississippi and Georgia dont have an NFL team? Oh yeah the Saints have this in the bag! Cowboys had a great game almost 40 points! 😳
@Taylor LaVerdiere - MS doesn't have a team, but Georgia definitely does, the Atlanta Falcons! They are in our NFC South division, along with Tampa Bay and Carolina. We haven't watched the game yet, so no spoilers! Tim is at the golf course since the sun is shining, so the game is on the DVR, waiting for him to get home! No spoilers!!! 😂😂😂
@Taylor LaVerdiere - and now we know, boo. Tough game and final score. Oh well, on to next week! LOL!! Have a great week Taylor!!!
Let's Cook Y'all i will never say anything about the game before you watch it! I now know Tim is at the golf course for Sunday’s! I’m glad no one else spoiled it for you! You too Stacy!!
are you no longer doing videos?
Right I miss them 😞
There are much easier ways to make these meals. No offense,.. I cook for two daily.. you make it look like such a chore. Not subscribing..lol. instapots are huge, bulky, pains in the butt. I'll stick with gas thnx 😉
@Trenton Garber - Hi Trenton. Thank you for taking the time to stop by our channel, and for your feedback. We realize our content is not for everyone. We cook for two daily, as well, and have been for over a quarter of a century. I must admit, I cook more since we started the RUclips channel, and my cooking has changed, just because certain things "play" or "work better" in a RUclips environment. For example, most people do not want to see things like sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, spaghetti and tacos. We do show those, but we also add in more meals and more recipes and new ideas, and try to provide a lot of variety and a lot of variations. We have an Instant Pot - yes, but we rarely use it. We have an air fryer that we use many times a week. Some people do not have an air fryer, but we always like to remind them that anything that you do in an air fryer is easily done in an oven (since an air fryer is just a small contained convection oven). It is a lot more work to "cook" for the RUclips channel, and it doubles or triples my time to set and move cameras as I cook, to record and share with our subscribers. Which I understand you are not one of, but we do appreciate the feedback. Take care and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…these are not recipes…it’s just simple random stuff thrown together for a toddlers palette 🤦♀️ Post a video when you actually make a decent meal! Pot roast…lasagna…stew…soups…etc
If you don't like the content it's pretty easy to find another video to watch without leaving a rude comment. Creators put a lot of work into their channels and Stacey is a true gem. God bless Stacey keep up the great work for us viewers who love your content😀
@Erin Heding - thank you so much Erin, for your incredibly kind comments, and for understanding that it takes a lot of work to do these every week! Hope you are well and having a great week so far. Take care, and have a wonderful and truly blessed day ---Stacy 😍💚
