What’s for Dinner| Budget Friendly Family Meal Ideas

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

I really love the way you cook. The perfect mix of real home cooking, but still with fresh ingredients and not lazy. So glad you’re back to making videos.

[@mistybaxleyful]

I have always hated making anything with a flour and egg dredge, but the shake and bake method you shown is so clean and not messy!

[@staceymarie568]

I hate it too. But I'm loving the way she's doing it.

[@simonedelizia2974]

I also hate it 😫 lol but love the way it taste 🤣 just so time consuming

[@lissymama917]

Im so so so glad youre back, I watch a lot of What's For Dinner videos, but you were my first and youll always be my favorite! You have given me so many awesome dinner ideas over the last year, my family thanks you!!!! I am so glad everything is working out for you and your lil family... life is messy, sometimes you have to step back and let it work itself out. Im glad youre doing well and back home with your babies and your kitchen. Much love!!!!!!

[@vanessas.9199]

I HAVE MISSED YOU! So glad you’re back and determined to focus on KZbin a lot more. You got this momma! 🥳

[@tutuprincess25]

I don’t know why I never thought to bread chicken using a ziplock bag (instead of rolling it around in a bowl one piece at a time), but thanks for showing that! So much faster and less messy!

[@kandikiss90]

Kristin! You have no idea how happy it makes my heart to see you back at it! You were the main person who inspired me to start my channel! Thanks for all you do, we’ve missed you! :-)

[@meaganshaffer2006]

I just love your videos! Great filming angle and just straight to the point. Also love your strong southern accent 😂 it's like soothing to listen to.

[@kmnfitnesstv8493]

Everything looks good I’m going to give that broccoli casserole a try since I love everything that goes in it also the flatbread ❤️

[@jkb4595]

If you can’t get your pepper out of the shaker take the salt shaker and rub it on the bottom of the pepper shaker while your shaking the pepper out and it’s amazing it really works. I stopped taking the lid off my pepper shaker after I learned this little hack.

[@LauraLaQuay]

We've missed you😭😭😭😭 So glad you are rested and back to inspiring everyone in the kitchen!🥰 Much love xoxo!

[@jasnapolka8681]

I DO love those plates/bowls from Target!! They're great for kids,too!!

[@babyj9282]

I found something very similar to those Target bowls at Wal-Mart for fifty cents each they also had plates and cups. I love them. Awesome video. The food looked so delicious. ☺have a great day.

[@libertyleonard8213]

Kristen another good tip for good fried chicken is coating your tenders in mustard, yes mustard and then coating them in your flour you don’t taste the mustard at all but it makes it perfectly golden and juicy and helps the flour stick

[@justthethreeofus5055]

My husband was born and raised in KY until the military brought him to CA. I’m from CA. I always love going to KY to visit, hoping I would run into you and be star struck. Love you all the way from Cali!

[@cindyb8775]

I am from West Virginia. My son is an engineer working for a gas company on a pipeline. he works with a man from KY. that man introduced him to Ale 8. He brought some to us, that is the bomb. It is so good in the summertime when it is hot. It must be the bit of ginger in it that quenches the thirst. So glad you're back. So glad.

[@dawntrish]

So good to have you back - something to look forward to on Mondays again!

[@staceyredboy8304]

I'm so glad you're back! I have learned how to cook so many yummy things and have gotten so many ideas from your videos thank you for sharing!

[@marleywilson5292]

I just love your personality. I struggle with anxiety and your videos always gets my mind out of panic mode.

[@meetthesarsmiths7377]

I’m obsessed with those target plates as well!!! I bought 150 of them for my sons first birthday party!!! It was a hit! And we’ve reused them multiple times now when I host big fancy parties!! LOVE!

[@terrigaines1812]

That must've been a HUGE birthday party!

[@themamateacher357]

It's so good to see you back and thank you for cooking the ribs in the Instant Pot because I have a new one and I had planned to try ribs.

[@gracemurphy663]

I’m so glad you’re back! I’ve so missed these videos, great food ideas!

[@hannahlee7916]

great to see you back on youtube!!! finally some new dinner ideas!! yummy

[@crystalscott6274]

Great meals! When you had those collard greens, I was like yes ma'am!! And I have several of those Target bowls, we love them! That bbq flat bread is a must try! Thanks for an amazing video!

[@ayronsmama05]

Congrats on y'all's 7 years. With what occurred recently makes this one truly special I am sure! Y'all got this and you can cook gurl!! Blessings!

[@amandajordan647]

Instant pot ribs are the best! I think that was the first thing I cooked in my instant pot. We also love the Target bowls!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Hi Kristin, I have just discovered your channel and have been watching so many of your videos. I was really burnt out on cooking dinner for my family but you have inspired me so much and I am back in the kitchen. Thank you! Your channel is amazing! ~Jennifer

[@shelbylynnwilliams8520]

Yummy week of meals. I need to try your spaghetti squash recipe. So glad you are back!

[@sharondavizcaino7603]

I really like the scissor idea on cutting broccoli

[@ashleydavis6943]

I should not have watched this while I was hungry! Girl you just made my menu for the week. Yummy! Everything looks so good. So glad to see you back. 💜

[@Spenceman0831]

Another amazing video! I will be making all of these this week. Well done! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@sherrymckibbon5265]

Every meal looked absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try them all. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@rachaellara9120]

Love your videos I always get so much good meal ideas💙 so happy to see your back!

[@annabanana5546]

I love your accent and these recipes!! They’re soulful homestyle cooking recipes and I’m loving it 💖💖💖

[@cupcakesparkles12]

I just want you to know, I have anxiety really bad. Where I overthink everything, I especially get overwhelmed being a SAHM. Cooking for myself, 2 kids, and husband overwhelms me. When I watch your weekly what’s for dinner I find peace. I find ideas without getting overwhelmed and over stimulated watching your videos. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos and devotion to your followers.

[@elizabeth866]

Thank you for the family friendly recipes. I am going to make the chicken tenders and broccoli and rice. Glad you and hubby are back together. Hoping you have a great week and your family is truly blessed.

[@beckyhines3814]

I love all your recipes. Looks so good. I agree never enough sauce and I like the Baby Ray's BBQ sauce also. ❤ Happy Anniversary!!

[@donnadivis8654]

Kristin! Love all these great meal ideas! I’m in love with the Target bowls too! I was shocked! We had spaghetti and I served them in the Target gray colored bowls and they didn’t stain red!!! This for more meal inspiration! Happy anniversary to you and the hubs!!! Many many more!

[@lveltingv2436]

New subscriber here! And I adore your pioneer collection! I collect them all too! That’s what made me click your video plus I love cooking for my family! Thanks for the great video! I’ll be making something yummy using one of these dishes ! Thank you! Can’t wait for more videos.

[@HB-zg6gs]

My mom always made ham and cheese melts on hamburger buns. She would wrap the sandwich in foil and throw them in the oven till they were hot and the cheese was melted. Great way to serve a lot quickly.

[@seasonfairy85]

I love the bowls and plates from target,we just got some last week and got the cups awhile ago.I figured they'd be great to use eating on the back porch!

[@holldoll7764]

Love your videos! They are motivating me to add some variety to my meals! I have kinda been stuck making the same old thing, so your videos are great, and relaxing to watch as well! Great job! 👍🙂

[@bellesmama7366]

I’m so glad your back! I missed drooling over your food 😋🤣 You made my meal planning so much easier!

[@kelbre100]

Ohhh I need to try those ribs in my instant pot, yum!! & the homemade chicken tenders too!! Love your what’s for dinners:)

[@strutter78ks]

I just tried the grilled ham and cheese with the jalapeno cheese. It was delicious! I never would have thought of putting that on a grilled ham and cheese sandwich.

[@morganw2323]

Those look so good! I love all your dinner ideas and I’m so glad you’re back!!!

I love the Target bowls! I have the bowls, cups and plates. For how cheap they are, they’ve held up for my family of 4.

[@ashleyportillo412]

I always love your meal ideas! Glad you're back!

[@SuperMakeupOnABudget]

I loooove the plate bowls from target! They’re like plates but the sides are more lifted up like a bowl 😍 we gave them in pink and gray lol

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Hi Kristin!! I'm so glad you're back. I've missed you so much and all of your delicious meal ideas. The broccoli and cheese casserole and chicken tenders looked so delicious along with everything else. I'm definitely going to be adding a few of these to my meal plan. Hope y'all have a great day and week.

[@CutePotato2465]

I love watching all your cooking videos definitely has been a long time since I have been inspired to cook.And you have really helped me to find things to cook.🤗

[@Alyssa-ke9xm]

I used your broccoli and rice casserole recipe for dinner tonight and omg, SO GOOD.

[@KristinStepp]

So glad you loved it!

[@sarahgalvan7147]

Wohooooo!! I am so glad you’re back! Can’t wait for more inspiration on dinner! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

[@chasitycobble1740]

Funny we come to Tackett Creek to ride RZRs a lot. My friend from Kentucky was just telling me about the Grippos chips. She brought me some from Middlesboro and they were so yummy!! Next time we go we are going to food city and getting some.

[@BruiseWillis]

You have no idea how happy I am to see your videos again.

[@bethmcgaughy1391]

Everything looks so good. Thanks for the inspiration! I need it this week for sure. 😘

[@phacker24]

So glad you are back! Love the video! Love Grippo’s chips too!

[@addie2754]

so glad you’re back! missed your videos.

[@HaleyPrettyEyes100]

Kristin you know I love these videos. I wanted to tell you, if you guys like chick fil a chicken, soak your chicken in pickle juice!! I’m telling you, it is a game changer if that’s the kind of chicken flavor you like, much love& God bless you guys!!

[@shardyway16]

Love those dishes from Target! We had really heavy dishes before, a good chunk of which had been broken. These were a great alternative for the time being :)

[@jewelsapp1806]

Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing everything with us!! Everything looks so good that I wish I could make it all right now!!!!! You make some of the best recipes I've ever seen!! Please take care and stay safe and healthy 💕💗

[@kelleysisler6158]

It's so good to see you back! I've missed you. Great viedo as usual. Love your cooking, it's so relatable. Prayers for your family. ❤️

[@gardengirl694]

Can you put a link for the pan you cooked the chicken in? Thank you. I just found your Chanel and LOVE IT! You cook like me but you have recipes and ideas I’ve never tried. Plus your clear and concise and not so wrapped up in yourself like so many other channels are. Excellent channel!

[@television4994]

That broccoli rice casserole looks so good! The flatbread you used is pronounced "luh-VOSH." It's such a versatile, yummy ingredient that I don't think a lot of folks know about! 😊 Almost every NYE, my mom and I would get some lavash, spread a thin layer of cream cheese, then add lettuce, deli meat, tomato, etc., roll the whole sheet up and cut it into wheels. Looks impressive on a nice platter 😏

[@racheld.4114]

I'd love to see what all appliances you have and what you think of them. That ninja cooker for one lol! Love your videos. -fellow KY girl 😊

[@makeupforever750]

Wow I missed these videos!!!! Have to try that spaghetti squash and cheesy broq side dish YUM

[@leighsutherland6222]

The chicken looks good. I do not know if I could find buttermilk anywhere but Walmart since I do not live in the south, but the batter on your chicken looks perfect! The broccoli rice casserole also looks good. I have had broccoli cheese casserole and like it, but have not had it with rice. It seems like it would make it a bit more filling. With chicken added it could be an entire meal. Thanks for some great ideas.

[@saraspara9365]

Buttermilk is super common! Just look in the dairy section where the milk is. It should be near the heavy whipping cream 😊

[@vickituck2701]

I have those bowls too!!! Love these meal ideas....very creative...thank you for sharing!!

[@puppyluv147]

Yummy food! Definitely have to try the cheesy broccoli rice. I see you opening your pepper to get more out, the salt and pepper actually have little bumps on the bottom of both containers. You just flip the pepper over and rub the bottom of the salt onto the bottom of the pepper! It comes out a lot faster!

[@kimberlycleamons9698]

So happy to see you back!!! Love watching your videos!

[@grammyn2]

Your broccoli and rice method is the best shortcut I've ever seen! To make it a full meal just add some cooked chicken and a small dash of curry!! Thank you for sharing and I am definitely a new '🛎' subscriber!! 😊

[@Carolegavinriley]

I can't wait to make that broccoli and rice casserole, it looks great!

[@jakenda1978]

Nice use of bits and pieces. Try French dressing on a taco salad. It’s delish!!

[@donnalogan8881]

Love the Target bowls too! I didn't know you could put them in the microwave. Glad to see you back!

[@jendyson6729]

Everything you cook looks great and thank you for all the ideas! I would never buy chicken tenderloins because that tendon bummed me out but that trick might make them something I will buy now :)

[@pamelajohnson2748]

Love your baking and all your dishes so nice TFS.

[@robynright9987]

Love this video with easy to follow directions and to the point. All the food looks great can't wait to try. I don't really subscribe to people but I did today.

[@tonyamojica6876]

So, so, so happy that you are back!!!! I’ve been wanting to try ribs in the instant pot and I just haven’t. I’ve had mine since Christmas and I still haven’t used it, I need to get over my fear of using it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ That broccoli casserole though 😍 I love a good broccoli cheese casserole. Thank you for all the meal inspirations.

[@SarahKells95]

I’ve had my instant pot since Christmas as well and still haven’t used it... Glad I’m not the only one who is afraid to try it out! I’m such a klutz in the kitchen that I just feel like something will go wrong!

[@tonyamojica6876]

Sarah Kelly I watched Falon with Moss Family TV the other day and she made hotdogs in the Instant Pot, that might be what I try too. 😂 Something simple.
