January Pantry Challenge | Week #3 | Balancing My Diet

[@tiffanyfelkner8995]

I am really enjoying the “bachelor version” of what’s for dinner! I am sure you can’t wait for Rachel to get home, but you are doing a wonderful job keeping us entertained while she’s away!

[@debihuntsman9314]

I'm impressed that you are not only cooking delicious meals, but you are keeping the kitchen clean. Yay Todd!

[@robertandrobinmilliken5105]

I was noticing that too. Clean as you go😊

[@alexandralukas5406]

Lol! I was watching you make the salmon patties and thinking Rachel would be mad you made them without her! Glad she suggested you make them. 😂

[@nickycone6799]

Lol I was thinking the same thing!😂

[@kathygreeson6001]

🙋‍♀️ LOL!

[@PureLace]

As soon as he showed the jar of salmon, I was like "Uh oh!" 😂😂

[@billierichter1379]

I thought the same thing!😂

[@lisad7991]

Same!! 😂

[@Homestead.Dreamer]

I think it’s so great that you keep putting out videos while Rachel is gone. What a supportive hubby 👍🏼😊

[@homesteadwithhannah]

Missing Rachel but loving these meals! I think it's especially funny that you can tell this is 100% Todd - including the editing. Ever since she mentioned that you are more of an editor/storyteller - I pick up on that! My fiancé and I are exactly the same....I'm a minimal editor and he is practically a filmmaker! Love the content - thanks you two :)

[@letssummondinner]

I know you have to missing Rachel. My husband is gone 6 months out of the year for work and I still miss him desperately. I cook for my grown kids while he is gone, gives me some purpose. Otherwise I might be eating eggos or something lol. Kuddos to you for keeping healthy meals going.

[@sharontwilliger7006]

Enjoying your solo pantry meals. Love this channel. Looking forward to Rachael coming home. I have enjoyed seeing you both! I have learned so much about homesteading. I love Rachael being so creative. I am 76 years old, you both warm my heart!

[@kathy3178]

You and Rachel are the sweetest couple. I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. They are very informative and entertaining.

[@virginiarussell3767]

Oh yeah!!! Less talking, more cooking and eating!😊 Looks delicious, Todd!

[@jenmag0313]

Happy belated Birthday Todd. 🎈🎈Thanks for keeping What's for Dinner Pantry Challenge going. So glad to hear that Rachel should be coming home next week, I know you miss her. You two make a great team. Your fur babies are so cute!!

[@terraranch1459]

I am so enjoying this series! You are such a sweet and devoted husband. Hugs to you and Rachael❤

[@pamschonfarber1041]

I feel like I've been missing watching yourself & Ms Rachel 😃

[@justpatty7328]

Happy belated Birthday! You are a fantastic cook! Thank you for spending the extra time filming for us- definitely appreciated. Prayers for family. God bless.

[@kimr4005]

Thanks for keeping up the posts. I love watching other people cook.

[@robingirven4570]

I grew up on salmon Pattie’s. Got burned out on them but now that I’ve been canning for over 40 years. We’ve got about 40 pints in the pantry, I need to start cooking them again. Try them with Mac & cheese! It’s the only way I’ll eat them!

[@vickiegossett7214]

Todd & Rachel are awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[@marshavonderwish5811]

Todd, the salmon looks wonderful! Every time you crack open a jar I think of the excitement of you catching it. As I’m watching this I’m canning Rachel’s tomato sauce. Thanks for keeping the filming up.

[@dirtybootsfreemind0919]

If you like vinegar, try stabbing the pattie several times with a fork and sprinkle apple cider vinegar on them. My kids grew up loving that way. Its delicious 😋

[@kellyhawes9293]

Great job Todd with the filming and editing, as well as meals.

[@marcidevries5515]

Grandma always made potato pancakes to eat with a salmon patties. Mmmmmmmm.

[@patsimmons9868]

The patties look amazing! We never used any kind of sauce on our salmon patties, that was a new idea for me. Our side dish with salmon patties was always stewed tomatoes. You may want to give it a try, always tasty!

[@dirtroaddestiny]

Great pantry ideas ❤ great job

[@kristyhale9195]

You are amazing!!! I enjoy your ability to cook. You are inspiring the both of you. Looking forward to Rachel's return.

[@carollange9684]

Your meals look delicious, oh and Todd that little burner, is a simmer burner, for cooking things low and slow! 😉😂

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Hey Todd those salmon cakes look great! Great filming for sure. The past look real good. The goat look real nice as well. God Bless, Mike

[@pamschonfarber1041]

Happy Birthday Sir! Hope it was great, you deserve it!

[@mistycherie]

Doing some wonderful videos while Rachel is away, great production and editing! The salmon patties and stroganoff looked amazing!

[@lamgardn3800]

We love making a curry with either ground goat or the stew meat. Yum!

[@backwoodsarkansas9155]

Thank you for your contribution to Canuary.

[@barbiemonterrosa9891]

The salmon patties looked so good. I'm actually going to try making them. It's great that you can cook like this and even experiment and share your recipes and how it turned out.

[@kathyodrzywolski268]

Todd , So glad you are making such a great meal for yourself. You are the man

[@raffaellac.3333]

I love your creative improvisation Todd!

[@chrisharrison5126]

Love salmon patties, we make a cream gravy/ white sauce to go over them

[@jodiehenry4334]

I needed this today, I was making a small grocery list and your video made me look into my freezer instead! We're having spaghetti and meatballs! #pantrychallenge

[@homegrownharvest211]

Sweet chilli sauce is my favourite with any form of fish cakes, especially in this cold weather.

[@marykappesser5145]

Todd, love your creativity. Youve done a great job.

[@tamaraameling1289]

Todd, prayers to your family. You are doing an amazing job!🙏

[@janetlavoie2441]

Gotta love a man that cooks!!!

[@marilyncapehart663]

Hi 👋🏽 Todd., I know you are Missing Rachel, but you are doing OK for yourself 1-23-2023😊😊❤ love the jazz, soft music 🎶, I try Cooking for one and it’s hard I always overcook Todd

[@Joseph_Dredd]

Struggle with rice too until I was given a "Korean rice cooker!" Perfect every time now.

[@samanthaclayton6951]

You should be so proud of your knowledge and skills that you are able to use to not only feed yourself, but feed yourself well on your own🎉

[@suemullinix3135]

Nice to see a man cook and keep the kitchen clean

[@vickihogan8207]

We dip our salmon patties in catsup. Also, I roll my patties in cornmeal before frying.

[@lisalink6976]

I’ve always liked you guys’ what’s for dinner. Missing Rachel myself but som glad you are colander sharing with us.

[@1870s]

The spice blends for the Goat Meat recipe came from here: amzn.to/3wugYfu amzn.to/3kKPf7C And here's the spicy pepper spread I put in so many things amzn.to/3XAPuAW

[@lauriebegley915]

You are absolutely a sweetheart! Rachael is a blessed woman! Blessings to both of you for sharing your lives with us!

[@jameswebb8024]

Thanks for adding your canuary!

[@blancahull7085]

I saw that happy food dance..............everything looks amazing! 😁

[@carolynsinyard1306]

So glad you are still eating wholesome meals while Rachel is away. You pasta meal will be our meal for this evening, it looks delicious. Have a blessed week.

[@verngib9041]

I love some salmon patties!! I bought salmon to can but my son and i ate it before it made it to the jars. 😂 I made the salmon patties without bread crumbs, added extra eggs and lots of onions and bell pepper…It made it Paleo..

[@barbaranielsen2888]

Very creative with your seasonings!

[@wandakelly2173]

We love salmon patties in our home! They are a staple!

[@acoastalrv4582]

You and Rachel need to make a cookbook!!!

[@tcperry66]

Simple, but always good meal. Happy Birthday 🎂

[@stephencameron1709]

I’m so impressed at all the meals you cook! Delicious well done 😊. Praying all is well with Rachel and family. Val C

[@carolynfulton4060]

Todd, my stove has the small (simmer) eye and I could never cook really good rice until I got this stove. I bring it to a boil on one of the large eyes and allow it to boil hard for a couple of minutes-then I move it to the simmer eye and let it simmer, covered for 20 minutes. It’s ALWAYS good this way 😊. Your meal looked very good!

[@patrickyork2975]

That goat dish looked amazing.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

I bought an Aroma brand rice cooker on the recommendation of America's test kitchen. It makes perfect rice, as long as your rice to water ratio is correct. It also cooks pasta, and steams vegetables at the same time. Best 20$ appliance I use, more than any other.

[@HLpC4495]

Really adore you both, thank you for taking all the time you do to share with us!

[@Cordelia0704p]

Those are some pretty awesome meals you came up with Todd. Sorry about your rice, happens to the best of us.

[@jessiejean7315]

I know your mom! Awesome! I have been following you a while. Just want to let you know the yellow tupperware strainer has high lead content, get a stainless colander or a silcone clip strainer. Be blessed!

[@babsgilbert518]

I enjoy watching someone making hot meals for one. Thank you Todd 😊

[@ladyprepper4]

Love it when Todd goes solo, even though we all miss Rachel. We are doing low carb now, and I have to say those egg noodles look delish! My go-to comfort food. Isn't it awesome though to pull a jar of delicious food off of your pantry shelf?! Hope all is well with you both, and looking forward to seeing Rachel again soon. Hugs.

[@yvonnetackes1239]

I made creamed peas to go with my salmon patties this week.

[@Christine-Mrs.GilliamFarms]

Happy belated birthday wishes from Gilliam Farms in Oklahoma!

[@trinapfannmuller320]

Happy Belated Birthday 🎉 I’m definitely trying the salmon Pattie’s out 🤞🏼🤞🏼 hopefully my kids will like them, I know I will!

[@J_LOVES_ME]

Well those look pretty darn good. Oh, when I reheat peas from frozen, I like to heat them in water. t helps to plump them back up.

[@sandrad682]

Yesss, jerk goat is delish, but curry is another favorite.Sorry to hear your truck's in the shop. Hopefully you can get your project done quickly. Thanks for continuing pantry challenge.

[@themonkeymama]

That pasta looked incredible! I loved the genius of boiling your pasta in the same pan you used for the rest of the dish. I have some sausage in the fridge, egg noodles in my pantry and plan on making your one skillet pasta tomorrow!! Thanks for the idea!

[@marshhomestead4963]

Good job Todd! Thanks for keeping the videos going.

[@butterscotchgrove6151]

Gasp! Does Rachel know you're eating up the salmon without her? (Never make a comment before you watch the whole thing. She's a very nice person, isn't she?) 🙂 And oh, my that pasta dish looks AMAZING!

[@belieftransformation]

Great meals; lots of ideas, so thanks for sharing! Blessings to your family 🤗💜🇨🇦

[@andrewhammill6148]

I'm from Louisiana and I can't tell you how many times I've screwed up my rice. LOL. #1) Ya got to rinse it first. #2) Throw it away. #3) Get it from a Chinese take-out. 🤣

[@lonewolf8326]

excellent video.. in my home we see canned foods as fast food. easy and convenient.

[@jeanholdstock3695]

That goat might have worked out expensive, but OH BOY it looked like you enjoyed it (going by the smile when you tasted it) I hope you get your truck back soon so that you can continue with your project on the floors Thank you (and Rachael) for all of the videos you make and share with us xx

[@luannefeldt]

Happy birthday, Todd!

[@jillrip]

You are doing a great job while Rachel is away! All of it looks and sounds great!

[@dededammann9108]

I agree with the other comments truly missing Rachel but you're doing a great job Todd at surviving as a bachelor. Keep it up

[@lmullens75]

TODD! I absolutely love the music you are choosing for these videos. It really lifts my spirits & I've got a degree in music, so not easily impressed. Love y'all!!! Nice job!

[@wandaweber6613]

Everything looks so good!!

[@samanthahoffman4647]

You are doing such a great job! I was most impressed with the salmon patties! I haven't had those in so long. My hubby is not a fan but I think I'll make some anyway and I'll make something else for him that makes his tummy happy 😊

[@unleashedpatriot1802]

Here I’m sitting, it’s 10:35 pm and you made me starving for Salmon patties🤤 🤣 I’m going to have to use my vivid imagination and a couple ritz crackers & hope that will suffice😉🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Thanks A LOT, Todd!!! 😜🥰

[@cindyupton7357]

Hope all is well with y’all and the family. So glad to see you still making videos. Everything looks yummy as always.

[@mylittleruralhomestead]

Those salmon patties looked soooo good. Kudos for keeping up with the gym, even with Rachel away.

[@marking-time-gardens]

Everything looks so delicious! Thank you for the great ideas! Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🐛💕

[@bethstaggs2369]

I enjoy this meal combination. You made your dish look yummy! Try yellow mustard instead of mayo , it’s good together.

[@jessicagillette7773]

I enjoy watching these. Thanks

[@ht6684]

Those salmon patties look awesome!

[@debbiemusgrove676]

Sounds really good Todd. Never thought of cutting up bratwurst and using it in pasta. Not a big fan but the men I live with love it.

[@northernkarma9296]

I have learned SO many cooking tips and tricks from you Todd! Your time in the kitchen is very much appreciated. Whenever I cook something awesome and hubby says "Wow this is really good!" I just say, "It's a Todd thing." 😁 I'm also going to look for that red sauce next time I'm out shopping.

[@1870s]

Here's where I got mine amzn.to/3XAPuAW

[@femalecrusader8389]

Yummy, I made from scratch Focaccia bread pizza was a hit and similar to your meal beef stroganoff, and tonight Sheppard's pie with gravy.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Soon as I saw your new video pop up I started typing “have you made salmon cakes yet?” My husband & son don’t eat them or tuna cakes. So, I make a batch & freeze them 2 in a pack for myself. They looked delicious! I was so excited when you caught them!

[@quiltnanny2011]

My husband and I were apart for 7 months last summer. He old come home for just a couple days here and there but it was hard. I would cook at eat it for days. I struggle to cook for just one.

[@cherylmoran5134]

Glad you got your vegetables in! 😊

[@suedalimonte7863]

How is your pup since her surgery? Still praying for your loved ones. Our snow was pretty but I’m ready for spring lol

[@gardengrammie3]

MMMMMMM goat meat! I realize watching you cook that I do not use near enough spices when I cook. Going to try to use more. I put those 2 spices on my list for next grocery shopping trip. It looked delicious! Thanks for sharing.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

You should watch Becky at Acre Homestead cook! Now that’s a girl that uses spices! She has quart jars of the. She pours out of. I have quite a ways to go!

[@lavonnep.1412]

Good evening.. great job cooking..😍 and Happy belated Birthday! 🎉🎈🎊 I hope you had an amazing day.. have a good night..

[@barbaraslayden2277]

Happy Birthday looks delicious 😋 love from Virginia

[@Loreli115]

I love salmon patties. I just made that with peas, mashed potatoes and macaroni and tomatoes a couple nights ago. Yum yum!! I wish I had my own home canned salmon though! At least my tomatoes and potatoes were.

[@Sabbathissaturday]

Looks delicious ❤
