we are low on groceries and trying to use up as much as we can before I go restock! today we had an easy pesto chicken sandwich with fries and Gabe had macncheese with chicken! ingredients: ciabatta bread chicken pesto s&p fries creole seasoning cheese
I can’t with these comments. People are so mean. What world do we live in?? So sad. Evelyn you’re doing great and don’t let these ignorants ruin your day. I love your videos.
@@inesrodriguezmarrero830 people can only be as kind to others as they are to themselves. they don’t ruin my day, they only make me sad bc I wish they were happier ♥️
@@fromevelynsheartI’m confused on the hate this looks like a great meal? for even simpler dinner hacks i highly recommend instant mac, you can cut out the processed powder by adding real cheese/cream and frozen veg but boiling the noodles in the microwave still. other easy dishes are microwave baked potatoes & “veg” tyson chicken nugs to get some balance in if your kids are picky.
Stop hating on her she is a low income family you don’t know what shes going through. And there’s nothing wrong with her cutting board she just needs to sharpen her knife.
@yasirlol283 a few things. I'm not hating on anyone. Stop looking for things where they are not. Also that cutting board is very bad for the edge of the knife. A plastic will prolong the life of the knife.
Looks delicious ❤ I am also mostly self taught and find my food greatly exceeds quality at restaurants . Loved that you cooked your pesto with the chicken. It releases the flavors.
@@Minikmuzikkutusu um it is but at the same time as far as I concerned , knifes are sometimes more expensive than the cutting board and some types of wood are like maple / bamboo got self healing properties. Not to mention using glass cutting boards are more prone to slipping when cutting stuff. Well that’s just my opinion.
Yeah as someone who did learn how to cook, the first cheat code I’ll pass along is get a different cutting board lol. Glass is terrible for knives and is just unpleasant to cut on. You can get a wood one at goodwill for a few bucks and there’s nothing wrong with plastic either
i thought that wood and plastic can harbour bacteria, and that using a plastic cutting board can introduce microplastics to one’s food?? i could be wrong haha, i wasn’t taught to cook either- just a question!
This looks yummy! People are so judgemental! Ugh! I know you will just ignore them cuz you're stronger and smarter! Thanks for giving me great dinner ideas! 😊
Hi Evelyn! My mom taught us to cook so I have a different background but id say you are doing just as well as anyone else! Id say probably better, because you have to think outside the box for different ingredients sometimes. Same here! This economy sucks. Haha I used glass cutting boards for a long time because putting raw meat on wood just seems gross. I still dont know what alternative to use haha so i just cut it on what I want. Im the one dealing with the knives. Keep on being a wonderful mom n wife!❤
I made this meal out of what was in my fridge, I’m sure there’s a name for it, but i made chicken, brocoli & carrots, put it on white rice and then created my own type of Alfredo sauce how my family likes it and poured it over it and it was so good and didn’t cost a lot!
Nooo now she's using the chopping knife on the meat! -- Just giving you a hard time, I love your content! (The larger knife is better for chopping vegetables because it keeps your wrist up so you don't have to bend it so much. The flexibility of meat and the way you cut it lends itself to a skinnier knife)
Your cooking will be sooooo much easier with sharp knives. If you don't know where to get great knives hit up the meat department where you're at and ask them who sharpens their knives. It's relatively inexpensive.
I love your videos. Fyi, pesto isn't meant to be cooked if that is what you are using. You put it on after the dish is done cooking. Look it up. I love pesto too.
@UMMH2000 I understand. If you look if up it explains why you shouldn't. I used to as well. It's not meant to be disrespectful. I changed my comment some because I was really sick when I commented. I wasn't trying to be rude. I was just sick.
@fromevelynsheart I understand. I used to until I looked it up. It did better once I quit doing that. Imo. It wasn't a diss or anything, just an fyi. I appreciate your channel as someone who is where you are, and has been for some time. The fact that you are open with your faith and love of God is a blessing to me as well. I also changed my message since it came off badly. I was sick that day watching and wasn't meaning to.
@@drjones6567 I didn't think you were intentionally being rude. I was just responding back that some people cook it and some don't. I'm from a Carriaban/Southern American home and we cooked ours. However, based on what you're saying. I'll definitely look it up and see why it shouldn't be cooked.
You’re killing it! Having to feed one person three times a day forever is already brutal, and you’re doing it for a family. The fact that you have the energy to make it look good, taste good, AND make content that encourages others? Astonishing work.
No matter if ur child shows an interest in cooking or not, that is a skill they need to live and as their parent it is your duty to at least teach them the basics. Stop crying.
You clearly don't have a child or are only slightly involved in raising one. cooking skills are like tying your shoes, you teach the kid whether they want to learn or not.
Actually many of us weren't taught, even if we showed an interest. Either because our parents didn't know how or wouldn't show us. I had an interest and my mom always shooed me out of the kitchen bc she didn't like anyone nearby while cooking. Also, my brother is autistic and had meltdowns when anyone else but mom touched food. I love my mom, but she didn't teach my brother how to handle others cooking, and she never let me in the kitchen even though I asked. It did me a great disservice, and I'm just now learning over the past few years. And teaching my 7 yr old as I go. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
my mom hates cooking and never taught me how to. everyone’s experiences are different. 😊 maybe ask yourself why automatically assume something negative? a great opportunity to look within

Invest in a good cutting board
Stop hating on her she is a low income family you don’t know what shes going through. And there’s nothing wrong with her cutting board she just needs to sharpen her knife.
@@yasirlol283orr hear us out, wooden>>>> glass chopping boards. they’re gonna make the knives blunt
@yasirlol283 a few things. I'm not hating on anyone. Stop looking for things where they are not. Also that cutting board is very bad for the edge of the knife. A plastic will prolong the life of the knife.
@@yasirlol283Not hating, just good advice that will save her money and time in the lokg run.
Buy it for her ?
Or stfu
You should sharpen your knife. Itll help cutting faster and easier
Get the block cheese they sell instead of the already shredded one , grate your own cheese . It melts way better and tastes better too
That mini bread looks so nice.
Looks delicious ❤ I am also mostly self taught and find my food greatly exceeds quality at restaurants . Loved that you cooked your pesto with the chicken. It releases the flavors.
I strongly recommend to go to any secondhand store or go for somewhere to buy some cheap wooden board. The glass one will definitely ruin your knife
Glass cutboards are healthier, knifes can be changed anytime or sharpened

Ok but why am I also low on groceries with almost the same ingredients left lolll! Loved the video 💛

@@kahwa_cyou are right glass is easier to wash in high degrees and plastic cutboards results in microplastics in your food and body
This looks yummy! People are so judgemental! Ugh! I know you will just ignore them cuz you're stronger and smarter! Thanks for giving me great dinner ideas! 😊
Love this 🫶🏼
I love Aldi pesto...i use the basil in pasta and the tomato spread on Italian bread with an egg on top

Yummmmmmm
I'm worried your glass chopping board is going to smash. Could you look into a wooden one?
Do you think cutting chicken (which can contain salmonella) on wooden board is healthier then cutting on dish washer safe glass board?
@@Minikmuzikkutusuhumans have been doing that for millions of years no one died 🫶🏻
@@Minikmuzikkutusu Wooden cutting board is good. Just wash it with dish soap and baking soda after.
Just a tip! Put the pesto on after it's seasoned and cooked 😊
She added more after cooking it.
I do both ❤
@fromevelynsheart heck, I'm sorry if I overstepped lol. I learned something new though, that seems like a good idea to cook it into the meat.
@@daniray97 omg no need to apologize! you did not overstep! you gave a kind tip!♥️

Never taught to cook, yeah yeah that’s everybody’s excuse. They probably never showed an interest in it as a kid and blame their parents.
No matter if ur child shows an interest in cooking or not, that is a skill they need to live and as their parent it is your duty to at least teach them the basics. Stop crying.
