This 2nd week of the 2024 PANTRY CHALLENGE and I'm getting into this challenge a bit more! I had a great time trying out some of your recipe suggestions! 😀 I think I'm going to have to find some more things to add to the pantry because ingredients are getting used up really fast! It was a great week to avoid going out shopping! The temperature dropped to -30C (-22F) here!! I was sooo happy to stay home and cook meals from the pantry and just keep the fire going 🔥🔥 How cold did it get where you are?? 🥶
@bevdwyer25097 ай бұрын
It was 50 F here in Savannah, Georgia…and I know I shouldn’t complain but it’s cold! I’ve been getting the -30 reports from home. Still have noodles and rice to use from my rv pantry.
@heatherbolichowski19107 ай бұрын
-40C (-40 F also) here in Edmonton Alberta Canada. Haven't left the house in days but I love staying home. Pantry challenge going well. Have used home canned chicken veg soup, a sheet pan meal with gnocchi, steaks with mashed potatoes and more this week. Kids forgot we were doing a pantry challenge!!

For your freezer, in case it helps, I put the same type of meat into reusable shopping bags in the freezer. So I can go through all the chicken or beef or pork at once. Stops me losing stuff

Hey! We met very briefly at Patmos' live stream last Wednesday. Pat had suggested we check out your page if we were into cooking and preservation and stuff.. and that's right up my alley. So I came and watched a couple videos.. and the first item you pulled out to use (pasta, I think).. I saw the Western Family brand and immediately thought "she's in Canada!" and then as you went through your pantry/ freezer I thought "she shops at save on, buy low, superstore!" It was almost like looking in my own pantry/freezer, hahaha. So I went and checked your "about" section and not only do we live in the same country.. we're neighbors. I live in BC too.. ahhahaha! Excellent. I have subbed 😁
@JessicaWanders4 ай бұрын
Wow! That’s so cool! What are the chances eh?! It’s such a small world 😀 Thanks so much for subbing. I go to watch Patmos because he is so calm and creative with his gaming, it’s so relaxing to listen to him while I play 👍🏼🧡 and he’s such a great guy too! I’m always surprised when he gives a shout out but we’ve been subscribers on each other’s channels since I started so it’s fun to watch each other grow! 🧡

When you big batch cook pancakes for multiple days, pour your batter into a jelly roll pan and bake it. You can cut it into whatever size you want. Takes out the individual pancake cooking time

For the red lentils I've seen someone soak them over night then blend them and add them to muffins for extra protein. You can also make a coconut lentil curry with them using the packets of powdered coconut cream. Now is a good time to buy canned coconut milk if you need to stock up a bit on that cause it usually goes on sale around now for the Chinese New Year.

I have seen pancake muffins if you want to use the pancake mix differently. You could add any fruit or chocolate chips. The stuffing make a good breading to coat chicken or in with meat to make meatballs or meatloaf and maybe even with your salmon patties. I think that you are doing great using up what you set aside already. I think rice flour is a good coating for chicken if you fry it for a stir fry but I wonder why you bought it. I had an everyplate recipe where you mix panko bread crumbs with oil, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasonings and coat the top of the chicken in sour cream and top with breadcrumb mixture and bake. It was yummy! Good luck with your new ingredients you added.
@JessicaWanders7 ай бұрын
I wish I could remember what I bought the rice flours for but hanging on to it hoping my spotty memory will find the information is a lost cause I think LOL Ohh I think I had a HelloFresh recipe that did chicken in mayo with panko too! Great tip Alison :D

Great video. Just at the top of my head….sprout the lentils and eat the greens. Beef vegetable soup..use up can/frozen veggies, use beef stock, add lentils or pasta to it. Panko bread crumbs…chicken Parmesan. Use up those crumbs and pasta. Potato boxes….put into a crock pot, add a condensed soup, veggies, and whatever meat. I just made a cherry tart yesterday. Crust..3 oz. Cream cheese, 1/4 pound butter, 1 cup flour. Reserve 1/4. Press into bottom of pan, add cherries on top, crumble reserved dough on top then sprinkle with sugar. 350 till slightly brown.

Great video as always, Jessica! You really used up quite a bit and learned some new recipes. I think a yogurt dill sauce would have been amazing with those salmon patties. I noticed you had a can of artichokes in your "use it up" pantry. Have you tried them on pizza? Perhaps you could get creative and make pizzas with the BBQ sauce as a base and maybe some other ingredients you need to use up from the freezer. Also, I'm wondering if some of the Shan seasonings would pair well with your red lentils. Just some thoughts, anyway.

I make salmon patties using my home canned salmon. All I do is take a pint jar of my salmon. Take off the skin. Add 2 slices of bread torn tiny pieces. I use gluten free bread as I can't do gluten. Then I add 3 eggs and mix by hand. Then shape into 4 patties. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper. I like tasting the salmon, not a bunch of other flavors in my patties. Then I fry them in oil till browned on both sides. Super easy dinner. I like to eat mine dipped in my homemade ranch dressing or my homemade ketchup. Sometimes cocktail sauce. Just add horse radish to ketchup. Presto! Cocktail sauce.

To use up the red lentils, just add a little to every soup, stew and everything you use beans in like even chili, & rice, it will add more nutrition, and texture...... also you can cook them up with a little broth and then drain them add seasonings like you would to a burger, onion, garlic egg, ect... and fry them up in panko bread crumbs , red lentil patties are so good!

for a special Breakfast or brunch: Basic Crepes From the Kitchen of: Lorita Sutton Ingredients: 3 Tbsp. butter 3 eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/8 tsp. salt Butter Cottage Cheese Filling Strawberry sauce Recipe instructions: Melt butter in 8 inch crepe or skillet. Pour butter into mixing bowl, set pan aside. To mixing bowl add eggs, milk and water; beat with rotary beater. Blend in flour and salt till smooth. Refrigerate batter for 2 hours or overnight. Note: Allow 2 to 3 crepes per serving. To Freeze: Leave crepes between sheets of waxed paper. Wrap in foil. To reheat in oven: Remove wax paper, wrap in foil and heat in preheated 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Recipe instructions: Place buttered crepe pan over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. For each crepe pour 3 Tbsp. or a scant 1/4 cup batter into pan/skillet, rotating pan as batter is poured. Crepes should be thin lacy pancake almost immediately. If too much batter is poured into pan, pour off excess immediately. If there are holes, add a drop or two of batter for a patch. Cook until lightly browned on bottom; turn and brown other side. It may be necessary to add more butter to grease pan before pouring in batter each crepe. Stack crepes between sheets of paper towels or waxed paper until ready to use. Spread 3 Tbsp. Cottage Cheese Filling down the center of each crepe; fold the two sides over the center. Serve with Strawberry sauce Recipe for: Cottage Cheese Filling & Strawberry sauce Cottage Cheese Filling Ingredients: 3 cups small curd cottage cheese, 3 Tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. grated lemon peel 1/2 tsp. vanilla Recipe instructions: Blend together cottage cheese, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla in blender or stick blender. Use to fill crepes makes 3 cups. Strawberry Sauce or Berry Sauce Ingredients: 1/2 cup sugar 3 cups fresh strawberries or any berries you prefer or have on hand 1/4 cup water, dash salt 1 Tbsp. corn starch, 1 tsp. butter Recipe instructions: Wash & hull strawberries; crush 1 cup. Slice remainder and set aside. Combine crushed berries, sugar, water, salt, corn starch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens & boils. Boil & stir 1 minute. Add butter, fold in sliced berries. My Notes: I try to remember to make the crepe batter the night before unless eating a late breakfast or brunch. I usually use frozen berries and thaw them unless there is a good sale on berries

Brown chicken pieces( like thighs), pour above sauce ingredients over chicken in an oven baking dish, cover and bake in 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours or until done.

Rice flour you can probably just use in place of cornstarch if you want-that’s not super interesting though. 😂 You might be able to use it in idli or dosa?

I'm so glad that you enjoy the videos! I haven't ever shown Mr. Wanders (except the odd hand or foot!) I have a habit of trying to stock canned meats that have a long shelf life and when I have a BUNCH of tuna I automatically look around for other things and end up with canned salmon. I was just saying to Mr. Wanders that I think I'll stop buying it!! It really isn't something that I like. The kale, on the other hand, grows so well in our garden that I just keep trying to find recipes that I enjoy it in. I did make some powder out of a bunch of it that was easy and inconspicuous in many recipes!

I saw a video last week where someone made a lentil loaf with stuffing mix and lentils. They used the brown lentils but I’m sure it would work with red although they do get mushier so you would want them to be pretty dry. Sometimes I use up red lentils by cooking them with rice. Cranberry jalapeño dip poured over cream cheese is amazing. But you would need green onions and cilantro. You are supposed to make with fresh cranberries, but there was none to be found so I tried with frozen and it was very good. It is sweet, spicy and tart. Everything looked delicious!. If you get tired of eating the chili as it is you could add a bunch of beef broth and turn it into a soup and top with corn chips and sour cream. Also a vanilla fig jam is available at this time of year at Costco. My husband loves it. It is a big jar for $9.99 I think. Good deal for the size.

Yes, red are a bit softer but it still sounds like an interesting idea! I've never tried cooking them with rice, I'll have to give that a try too! Thanks for all the great ideas Susan! Loads to try! :D

You inspired me. I just got done doing a pantry check and have an insane amount of canned creamed corn. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it all. But I started with this creamed corn, ham casserole thing. It's in the oven now. I'm crossing my fingers that turns out. I think some kind of chicken corn soup is probably next. I have no idea how I ended up with more than 12 cans of creamed corn but by golly!

I like a corn casserole made with creamed corn. It's more of a side. I'm sure it would be good for a chicken and corn chowder, like you mentioned.

I like my salmon patties just plain, potato pancake and some kind of green veggie. I like fresh salmon with soy sauce a little bit of brown sugar Rosemary and ginger and my sides are broccoli and sweet potato.

Try you dip with ginger snaps. If you had rinsed out your applesauce jar with some water and added it to the pancake mix would have thinned it out where the batter was not so thick. This way would have cooked up lighter and more fluffy. Plus, if you melt your butter and pour over your pancakes then pour your syrup will be taster. My mother made her salmon croquettes out of cream potatoes ( not instant potatoes…only real potatoes that has sat over night). She added in chopped green onions, egg, salt & pepper. The potatoes need to be very stiff…hardly any milk & butter. We would have these with a tomato, cucumber & onion salad, fried okra or fried eggplant, sautéed yellow squash. We always ate ours with Tabasco sauce and I love ketchup on mine.

Caned salmon recipe: follow the instruction to prepare 1 box of au gratin potatoes in an 8 by 8 baking dish. Drain 1 can of peas and one can of salmon and add to the prepared potatoes. Follow the baking instructions on the box of potatoes. Voila! My Great Aunt Alice’s Salmon Au Gratin potatoes. SO DELICIOUS.

I don’t know if you’re familiar with tamarind but it’s a sour fruit so that’s probably a spicy sour sauce which would be delicious on any meat. For the cherry filling, my cousin makes this cherry delight it’s just a Graham cracker crust, cream cheese/whipped cream mix topped with pie filling. Super basic but delicious and it’s always where my brain goes with pie filling any more.
@JessicaWanders7 ай бұрын
The only tamarind I think I've experienced was in candy in Mexico lol It was a unique flavour! I'll jump into that sauce eventually... ;) That cherry delight sounds amazing!

My favourite way to use panko crumbs is to chop chicken tenders or thigh fillets into bit size pieces. (You can use breasts but I find them too dry.) Mix a season all type spice blend with some curry powder. (I usually mix 4 Tbsp of the season all with 2 tsp of curry and then just spoon out what I need each time.) Add spice blend to beaten egg. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, coat in panko crumbs and place on a lined tray. Cook in 190 C oven for 20 - 25 minutes. turning once.

That chili looked delicious 😋 was the hubbard squash noticeable at all? I have a problem swallowing sweet potatoes, Acorn squash, and pumpkin (and their relatives from the squash family) on their own, they're a bit intense for my taste buds and I've ended up wasting them, so I'm always looking for ways to include them in foods without their strong flavor being so noticeable for me...

Not at all! I'm not a huge fan of squashes either (except how well they grow in our garden!) so I love ways to hide it in things too! You couldn't even tell I added it! :D
