    I don’t have kids. So, I never got how hard it was to get home from work and have to cook a whole meal.. Ever since my mom has been sick, I have been coming home from work, cooking dinner for her special diet, cleaning up, and then taking care of her.. Throwing kids in the mix would make me just about lose it 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️.. Shout out to all the working moms because this gal is TIRED 😩😂!! Loved this weeks videos!

      Hey girl I don’t know what your mom is sick with but I just wanted to say that you’re wonderful for caring for her and I hope she can heal from this ❤️ I was a full Time care giver for my mom with stage three breast cancer and my 12 year old niece while working two jobs so I completely understand the strain that it can have on you you’re not alone and you’re doing amazing just thought you should know this 💕

      Liberty Leonard You don’t know how much that means to me. I really appreciate your kind words.. ❤️ It’s just been my sister and I on shifts and we sometimes just hug each other and cry because it’s so hard... If there were more people like you, the world would be better place.. She still doesn’t have an diagnosis.. She’s been having neurological issues for the past 3 months.. Dr’s are still running tests

      Kailynn Wilcox you are SO welcome sweet lady even though it’s easier said than done my best advice is to take it day by day and for you and your sister to lean on each other like you have been I hope you get some answers I’m sending all my love and positive energy dear ❤️💕❤️

      Yes K Willis par-boiling softens and takes the burp out of the pepper. My Aunt Rite always had them in the stove. :-)

    I have found it so interesting that the majority of RUclipsrs I watch use cottage cheese in their ziti and lasagne. I'd never heard of that before. My family always used ricotta.

    • @MsButtercup3000

    • @allisonritchie5695
      @allisonritchie5695 4 года назад +3

      Maybe it’s a southern thing? I’m from sc and my family has always used cottage cheese. But my husbands family is from NY and they only use ricotta. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 both are delicious!

    • @WonderWonkies
      @WonderWonkies 4 года назад +2

      @@allisonritchie5695 that could be! I'm born and raised in Florida but I learned from my mom and grandma who are from NJ who learned from my great grandma who was from Sicily.

    • @Michaela199022
      @Michaela199022 4 года назад

      Being from south africa we would normally made a bechamel sauce and add cheddar or some other cheese... same with lasagna.. at least that's the way most families I know do it

  • @slhense68
    @slhense68 4 года назад +1

    Have you ever tried the pasta bake method for a quicker ziti? We brown ground beef or Italian sausage. To a casserole dish we add one box of pasta (dry), the ground beef, the sauce, and then one jarful of water. You cover it with foil and bake at 425 for 30 minutes, take it out, stir it, add cheese and other toppings, and pop it back in the oven uncovered until the cheese is lightly browned and the liquid is bubbling. It’s definitely not as amazing as the ziti recipe you did, but it’s a quick weekday option.

    My tip for cutting open peppers is to cut a circle around the stem. Then you can just pull it out and the seeds won’t end up all over the place!

    Kristin just wanted to tell you that I use rotisserie chicken alot and have begun saving the skin and putting it in a ziploc and freezing it. I keep adding then when there is a good amount I thaw just till they separate and oven or air fry till crispy and use them as croutons on a salad or crunchy topping for mac & cheese, so yummmyyyy!

    • @colz83
      @colz83 4 года назад

    Next time you do stuffed peppers try roasting the peppers in a 400° oven for 20 minutes with a little salt pepper and oil on before you add the filling! Makes PERFECT stuffed peppers :) nice and soft and aay more flavorful

    With your bell peppers place them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes it helps remove any wax and helps soften your bell peppers and then they’ll cook the rest of the way in the oven. Hope it helps. Love your meals. ♥️

  • @justthe2ofus850
    @justthe2ofus850 4 года назад +4

    One trick on the peppers .....if you boil water and add them in after you have them cut and boil for about 4 mins then continue with your recipe, they will be soft and amazing!! Came from Kelly's channel.

    • @nope_n0pe
      @nope_n0pe 4 года назад +1

      Sandra D you boil in water for 4 min then use them as she does in her recipe?

    • @justthe2ofus850
      @justthe2ofus850 4 года назад

      Yes, when you pull them out of the water, put them in an ice water bath, once they are cooled off, pull them out and then continue with the way she filled them and everything. I usually cut the tops off my peppers and do that then fill them.

  • @amandaribofpalmetto
    @amandaribofpalmetto 4 года назад +1

    If you make the marinade in the bag before you add the meat you can save a bowl to wash later ;) Just dump it all in the bag and massage the bag to combine it all together then add the meat and massage it into the meat as normal.

    I think I'll do stuffed peppers but not hot. Great idea! Redo meals are great. And save money. I just roasted a turkey and made turkey soup next day. Hey you had an add from Troy, NY my neck of the woods. At least same county I use a coffee marinade for steak. Yum! I stay at home think I'll make for MacGyver Friday for dinner. Thanks for the meal ideas.

    When making stuffed peppers I boil them for 2-3 minutes to soften them!! I can’t wait to stuff them with the buffalo chicken mixture 😋

  • @kat_8984
    @kat_8984 4 года назад +1

    For your peppers you can bake the peppers for a little bit in the oven or you can put them boiling water before you put your mix of stuff in them.

  • @jessandrews345
    @jessandrews345 4 года назад

    When I make stuffed peppers I boils them before stuffing them. It is best to do it on the stove, but it can be done in the microwave. While the water is boiling and the peppers are cooking I get ready everything else. Once the peppers are cooked to the consistency I like them, I drain, put them in the baking pan, fill and cook.

  • @carrievanvickle6052
    @carrievanvickle6052 4 года назад

    I put the peppers cut side down and cook them alone for about 20-30 minutes before stuffing them. Cooking them cut side down allows some of the water cooks out so that your filling won’t get soggy once the peppers get softer.

  • @kyla6840
    @kyla6840 4 года назад +4

  • @dogsrfun4rae

I like both of them, but I can't eat them as a pasta substitute and tell myself it's the same. The have completely different textures and flavors. I'm making a shrimp scampi with zoodles and while It's good, it's not pasta. Anyway, love your video and I'm glad it appears you're feeling better!
