Delicious, Cheap, Quick and Easy Real Life Dinners | No Spend Grocery Week | Cooking From My Pantry

[@diannajett]

I swear, this took me back to being at home with my sweet Momma’s cooking. Down home comfort food at its best! What I wouldn’t give to sit down with her at the table again ♥️

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

🥰 I am so proud to play a part in that memory 😊 there is no place on earth like momma's house ❤ They are masters at making a meal outta whatever! I love trying new recipes too but sometimes I think it gets in the way of us just getting in those cabinets like momma did and getting creative and making do with what we have.❤ Now more than ever, I feel like I should be sharing more of these kinds of things with my daughters and other younger ladies just getting started. Thanks for watching and sharing such a sweet memory. Have a blessed week Dianna 🥰

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Me too friend 👍 And I bet it's great over tots 😋 You can really get creative with eating sloppy Joe's 😉 Hope you like my cornbread, my mamaw always put a little flour and mayo in hers, so I do too 🥰 Thanks for being here and have a great week friend 😊

[@CindyKinney]

Hi, Becky. What a great idea for putting sloppy joes meat over tater tots and adding cheese. I am definitely going to try that. It's one of those things that makes you want to slap your forehead and say, "Now why didn't I think of that?" Have a great new week ahead.

Yes friend, that is the perfect meal, it all goes together perfectly! And I like salmon patties but I don't like going thru the skin and bones LOL

Hi, Mel. I absolutely loved this video! I, along with you, am never ashamed to say I love those boxes of Au gratin potatoes. I have tried so many times during the years to make them homemade with no luck at all. Potatoes are never cooked enough. I actually haven't been able to get them here in my area lately. I love it when your intro tells us to sit back and let you do the cooking. Have a great new week, my dear.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I have the same problem when I try to make them from scratch, sometimes semi-homemade is better LOL Thanks for always sitting back and spending your time with me, I wish I could REALLY share all this with you! Have a great week, too!

[@kathywhite9411]

I love watching pantry meals. It’s such a blessing to have a full pantry to rely on to make a meal. My Granny always used crushed saltines to make salmon patties!❤️

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I agree 100%, It is wonderful to be able to just grab some things that you have and pull a meal together on a moments notice. It's a blessing for sure, I am so thankful for the little short term prepper type panty I am building. It is nothing compared to what many have but I am blessed to be able to do what I can.

[@cathylongstreth5405]

Miss Mel, I encourage you to stock dry mustard one time. I can tell you it is often the secret ingredient you just can't place but knocks your socks off when you're told about it. I have a fabulous poppy seed dressing in which dry mustard is the secret, and every time I take it somewhere, I get asked for the recipe. That is your challenge for this week❣️❣️

These are made like I do mine and always turn out very good. I use crackers but I also make them using oatmeal and they're also very good. I also make mine larger because my son and husband like tuna/salmon patty sandwiches. When we were able to have fellowship dinners at church, I would fry up a platter of patties and the older people really liked them. Just a great comfort food. Thanks for visit today.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I love rolling them in cornmeal for a little extra crunch sometimes, too. And I love the texture oatmeal gives them, too and it's all I ever use in my meatloaf too. It's so funny, I had one extra and I ate it the next day on a sandwich, we must have been raised in the same home LOL

when we do the tuna patties we have used the crushed crackers, but have also used quick oats and they work well too. I also add bbq sauce to the mix too.......it gives it a good flavor. I am going to try adding the mayo into ours and see how that tastes...love your videos they are always giving me new ideas and give me comfort and the feel goods :o) thanks for all you do I love your channel
