First of all: don’t ever change a thing-I’m such a fan! Thanks for being authentic & so fun! Second: vid recommendation: 1) your favorite “people are coming for dinner” recipes. 2) kid school lunch ideas

[@biffm.2806]

Put some hot water and soap in the food processor when you’re done and run it for a few seconds. Helps to get all that sticky chicken residue off.

[@thewadsquad]

I always add a little bleach when I wash but I like your idea of blending it all up!!

[@carlyst2922]

Genius

I love watching Meredith “help” out in the kitchen and listening to her talking.

[@thewadsquad]

She’s my little aide kick… until she figures out she’s too cool to hang with me 😂

[@PandaBear62573]

@@thewadsquad hopefully that won't happen. Merideth is adorable, all of your kids are. Trust me not all kids don't want to hang out with their parents. My now adult daughter has always liked to hang out with me, even in those rough teenage years she didn't mind being seen with me in public.

[@kimberlymoore665]

You crack me up with stirring the cornstarch mixture with your baby whisk! I thought it was one of your kids until I remembered that you have a collection. Now I need one! :-) On a different topic, I think we need more home tours. I love seeing all the beautiful houses out there and just dream about how people live. I pray for you guys in finding a house soon🏠!

[@meganlopez560]

Of all the videos you post these are my absolute favorite! I’ve tried so many recipes you’ve made on videos and we loved them. It’s also opened our eyes to new ways to make veggies. We’d never had Brussel sprouts and now we make them all the time

[@thewadsquad]

Oh yaaay!! I’m so glad to hear that!!

[@tonibejusca1259]

I saw an episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown where he tests the myth about not using water to wash mushrooms and found it’s totally fine to wash them with water. He weighed them before and after rinsing to see how much was absorbed. It’s also faster then individually wiping each one. I know we all like time savers so hope that helps.

[@thewadsquad]

Man that show is so cool and totally underrated! Thanks for giving me that knowledge!

[@J-B-P]

I totally wash mine. Literal clumps of mud come off lol- I’m too much of a germophobe/grossed out by dirt to not wash them. Not only do I wash them, I scrub them with a vegetable brush 😂 they still taste fine 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@NguyenTrang01]

I wash mushroom, just right before I use them. I know you're not suppose to wash them ahead like to prep for cooking ahead of time. Bonus tip: if you keep mushroom dry in air tight container, they last a lot longer than just in their container from grocery store

[@RhinestoningCowgirl]

Mushrooms are grown in animal poop so I'm for sure washing them 😂

[@hplovinmama631]

I loved that show! Also Unwrapped.

[@lauriesoderholm5608]

Kim I love to buy turkey when it’s on sale around the holidays, and make my own ground turkey. It is cheaper and I can add in my own spices to “flavor” my meat. It really is a game changer!

[@thewadsquad]

Oooh spices to the meat griding process, that's a hot tip!

[@mahrasalah6889]

I love being your friend.

[@Glitch68]

You can also sun your mushrooms before cooking them to up their vit d. You simply leave them out in the sun for about 20 minutes before you need them. My husband would be the same way about a week of chicken 😆 I always have to mix up our proteins throughout the week.

[@JacquiBeIntuitive]

[@thewadsquad]

Haha I don’t think I do!! But it’s bound to happen haha

[@kimcase1591]

For the chicken and mushroom recipe. If you cook the chicken in the bigger pot - then briefly remove it when done. When you add the mushroom it will deglaze the pan and take all of that yummy chicken brown bits and make your sauce even MORE flavorful! Then you just add your chicken back in. It's my favorite to do with chicken or boneless, center cut pork chops.

[@theresadenaro2796]

I love that my memory sucks. I get to binge watch your dinner videos, their my favorite!! BUTTTT bring back the lunch videos!!

[@allioakley3372]

Put your green onion stems in water for a week to grow roots and then plant in a little pot of dirt. You'll have plenty of green onions to snip every week. 🙋❤

[@thewadsquad]

I should do that’. I’ve done it before but haven’t made it a habit! 🎉♥️

[@teeandkids937]

Yes!!

[@aflou7144]

You can actually just keep them in a cup of water! They grow better in the water than in the dirt...the only reason I know is because I'm currently doing it both ways to see which produces better 😂

[@allioakley3372]

@@aflou7144 They last longer in dirt for me because eventually they started to rot and get slimy in water over time. But i probably used too much water 😄

Hey Kim did you know your face is the thumbnail for CNBC Make It's Video? I saw the recommended video and I though hang on, I didn't get a notification that Kim posted, then looked at the channel name and was like Whaaaaaaat?? Also, I just wanted to say that your videos always make me so happy, but especially at this time. We've been in lockdown for 8 weeks now, another 3 more at least (strong indication lockdown will go till mid October if not end of the year). We can't even travel more then 5kms from home. Your videos are a huge help and bring me so much joy. So I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you and God bless you Kim!!

Love this video! I mix up my own taco seasoning in an old empty spice jar. I just dump all the ingredients in and give it a shake. Then I store it with my other spices. Saves me a lot of time when I need taco seasoning, and it doesn't have the extra fillers that taco seasoning packets have.

Burritos and brownies in one video??!!! Perfect Saturday 👌 *chefs kiss* love watching because I really love how Kim talks to her audience ❤ I've caught myself responding back a few times hahahaha just some friends chatting 🤣😂🙃

I almost lost it when you cooking the chicken and making the mushroom wine sauce... I lost it when the chicken fell through the pot handle and your vocal expression of *really* *really* one of the best KZbinrs on here

[@lild145]

I have a recipe that starts so similar and is amazing! You brown your thin chicken in butter,throw in a crock. Brown sliced mushrooms and throw them in the the crock. Add 1c. Broth and 1/4 c. Marsala cooking wine in pan. Bring to boil then simmer 10 min. Pour over chicken. Top with a bunch of Mozzarella cheese and parmesean and sprinkle with green onion. Put on low and enjoy when ready. Don't forget the parm. It really makes it next level!

Best friend. How many times have we redone your spice cabinet over the years? Get it together! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣 Jk jk. So here's how I've done my spices for years. Idk if your cabinet is big enough but it's worth a shot. Dollar Tree. Two circle cake pans, marbles in one pan, place the 2nd pan on top of the marbles. Instant lazy Susan! You can paint or cover the pans or just leave the tags on like we all know you will. Haha!! Anyway, I hope this helps! Love and hugs from your Indiana bff!! ♥️♥️

Awe, you sounded so sad at the end 😭 I think everything looks good!! I'm especially excited to make the burritos 😊 I have leftover corn and green salsa too ❤️👍 You rock!!

[@butterflyforeve]

Preheat oven to 350 or 410 whatever works lol. 1 lb of breakfast sausage, 1 large can of refried beans or homemade refried beans, the large tortillas 8 CT, and as much cheese as you want. Scramble the sausage, and as soon as it's not pink add the beans and cook until they are warmed through. Now take your tortilla and add filling a hardy portion and top with cheese, I usually only close the bottom because the filling is a lot and I like to crisp the tortilla a bit. Place all of the burritos on a cookie sheet and place oven bake as long long enough to melt cheese inside ordo like I said before we like the tortilla to get a little crunchy. These can be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is really good. Oh and do not drain sausage the beans need the grease to absorb the sausage flavor

[@jodidonaldson2923]

I make the same chicken marsala mushroom dish. The marsala cooking wine cooks off the winey taste and gives it a nice robust flavor!

Another r good reason to grind is that often with store bought chicken and beef burger...they often add unknown STUFF to them and I would rather not have stuff added to my meat. We do live on a homestead as of about seven years ago in Arizona and it is a whole lot of work but worth it. We do not have chickens yet and really hard to grow a garden in the summer here but we are working towards it...just takes time. There are rattle snakes around which they say tastes like chicken but not willing to try that...lol We dehydrate and can food right now and we have a lot to learn yet.

Hi Kim! I just recently found your channel and I am loving all your videos! Just wanted to give you a tip about “waking up your spices”. Most spices have flavor compounds that are oil-soluble, not water-soluble so cooking them with a bit of oil is actually what “wakes them up”! This is why if you use water or broth to sauté your food in you will notice it still tastes bland even though you added dried spices to it. So keep cooking in oil, you’re doing it right! It’s science! 👍🏻
