Hi! Cheering you on from afar! You’ve got this! I’d also like to recommend the book “How to Keep House While Drowning”-I listened to the audiobook-by K.C. Davis, LPC.

Agree, the only way she could get more efficient is to convert to one pan cooking. Get one frypan to just put into the oven for the casserole. And use the stainless steel stockpot to brown the taco mince instead of starting in a frypan. Saves a few minutes transferring pots and less to clean up.

We had an ice storm in 2009. No power for a week. We remodeled and put in gas stove and heat. Power goes out we still have heat and we can cook.

[@sheilamayfield9587]

A gas stove is great for living in hurricane territory. When there is no electricity we are still cook and heat water to wash up. Generators are great to keep frigs cool and to run air conditioning but the gas helps not put any more pressure on the generator.

[@allalala9916]

We only have electric and when Helene hit we were without power for three days. It would definitely be easier with gas. We couldn't cook anything, had to eat vegetables, fruits and cookies the entire time.

[@henriettelinkshanderin1449]

Without global heating there wouldn't be so many hurricanes. So reduce your carbon footprint! You can have a gas burner for emergencies like hurricane season but you should have electric for everyday use. And you need renewable energy instead of carbon based. Put solar panels on your roof!

These are great!! Another great pizza meal is to use the frozen Texas toast garlic bread!! I put sauce, cheese and pepperoni on the bread (frozen) and cook according to the box. It’s usually just 6-8 minutes! Garlicy and buttery. So good! Here’s another mean idea: French dip sandwiches! I do a can of French onion soup, warm on stove. Add some deli roast beef to the soup to warm it. Lay roast beef and provolone onto a hoagie and toast in the oven to melt the cheese. Put the French onion soup into little bowls to dip your sandwiches in. Huge hit at my house!

[@sherrymccain8322]

I decided on induction when we replaced our electric. Faster than gas, easy to control the heat and so easy to clean like an electric glass cooktop. It boils water in a pan faster than an electric kettle and won’t turn on if there is no pan on the burner. If you leave a pan on and it gets too hot, like hot enough to damage or cause a fire, it will turn off. Great for absentminded, elderly or ADD, like me. Haven’t had a mishap since owning it.

[@Caseyd1966]

I LOVE my induction stove!!! Have had it 12 years now & wouldn't go back

[@Hearts4Door]

@sherrymccain8322@@Caseyd1966 I've never used an induction stove. Sounds interesting. When you take a hot pot off of the stove, is the stove top hot? Would it melt a plastic container or utensil?

[@andreasmith8213]

That’s so cool!! I’d love to try one those! 😮

[@alyxwampler1713]

@@Hearts4Door The glass is still warm, but the burner will not heat up without something magnetic on it (and large enough for the burner to register, like a pot). I wouldn't put plastic on immediately, but easily within 5 minutes it would be fine. One of my favorite tricks with induction when frying is to put a sheet of newspaper down, then the pot. The current goes through the paper, won't heat it up enough to burn or anything, and super easy clean up afterwards, just toss the paper. You do need pots that are induction capable though, easy way to check is if a magnet will stick to them they will work. But glass pots and thin aluminum only ones won't. You also need to make sure the pot is the right size for the burner, you can't just put a small pot on a large burner, it won't pick up enough surface area and the burner will turn off. This also means that unless a pot is on the stove, you can't even turn the burner on; super handy safety feature for when you (or kids) accidentally hit the knobs. But as said, induction is super responsive, boils quickly, changes temperature quickly if you need to turn it down. I love to cook and have used coil electric, glass top electric, gas, and induction and induction is by far my favorite. If you're on the fence, you can always get a stand alone induction burner, that's what we started with to see if I liked it. Just be aware that while they will give you some idea of how induction works, they are lower quality so make more noise than a full range will. The single burner is also handy to have around for an extra burner on Thanksgiving. 😅

I'm a fan of gas for the hob and oven! I can control the flame and the oven doesn't have the hot spots. My other favorite thing with rotisserie chicken is to save the carcass and make my own stock- I use whatever veg scraps I have and control the salt and seasonings. When done, it goes in the freezer and i always have stock when I need it.

Here’s a selection of "effortless" family meals, perfect for quick, nourishing, and easy-to-make dishes: 1. Pasta with Pesto or Cream Sauce: Just toss cooked pasta with pesto or cream, and optionally add ham or bacon bits. 2. Quick Quiche: Use a pie crust, add bacon bits, cheese, and a mixture of cream or milk with eggs. Great for using leftover veggies! 3. Loaded Omelet: Add vegetables, cheese, or leftover meat for a simple, quick meal. 4. Rice Salad: Mix cooked rice with veggies, tuna, hard-boiled eggs, and a vinaigrette. 5. Express Roast Chicken: Roast chicken with potato wedges in the oven with some oil and herbs. 6. Easy Wraps or Tortillas: Fill with leftover meat or fish, fresh veggies, and a sauce (yogurt, mayo) for a fun, quick meal. 7. Pasta Gratin: Mix cooked pasta with cream, cheese, and leftover meat or veggies, then bake until golden. 8. Grilled Cheese or Ham and Cheese Sandwiches: Cook in the oven or on the stove with ham, cheese, and a little béchamel or cream for extra softness. 9. Sausage and Mashed Potatoes: Serve grilled sausages with mashed potatoes (instant or homemade) for a quick meal. 10. Quick Homemade Pizza: Use a ready-made dough, top with tomato sauce, cheese, and whatever’s in the fridge. 11. No-Stir Risotto: Cook rice with vegetable or chicken broth and chunks of veggies-no stirring needed. 12. Tomato and Cheese Tart: Spread mustard on a pie crust, add sliced tomatoes and cheese, and bake. 13. Fried Rice: A fast dish with leftover veggies, ham, or eggs that’s easy to customize. 14. Quick Blended Soup: Blend cooked veggies with cream or milk and season. Serve with croutons for extra crunch. 15. Meatballs and Pasta: Cook frozen or homemade meatballs, then serve with pasta and a bit of tomato sauce. These dishes are simple, require minimal prep, and are perfect for quick, enjoyable family meals.

It is also delicious to add a little bit of pesto with the pizza sauce.

[@pamelacrooker9274]

Gas cooking all the way! I changed from electric range to gas after two winters in Maine where we lost our electricity multiple times. Having a gas stove allows us to cook, bake and stay much warmer. I turn my oven on if the lights start flickering, because it has an electric start, but once started it stays on. I even have a vintage percolator so we can make coffee as well. Getting a whole house generator was not in the budget. As far as cooking with gas, it is instantly controllable up or down. This works for us. I love your channel. You make me laugh all the time. ❤

Cass, just a tip re the soup: please take a look inside the neck of the liquid chicken bouillon bottle. A while ago I was disgusted when something caught my eye. Mold can form very quickly inside the top of those bottles and unless you’re looking for it, you won’t see it. It freaked me out so I now use the better than bouillon and keep it refrigerated.

[@1millionpumpkins542]

Thanks for all the recipe tips. Even though we're on a homestead and I make most meals from meat and veg we grow ourselves, your ideas for using the leftovers were very inspiring. The Instapot is my best friend. I pop a whole frozen homestead chicken in there with lots of water, salt, peppercorns, and a splash of ACV. I can turn it on for 1 hour during peak solar, and get plenty of stock. Meanwhile, I prep the vegetables. When the pressure releases, I pull out the chicken and put in the vegetables and maybe some barley, rice, beans, or pasta. While those come to pressure, I debone the bird. The timing works out well: by the time I finish deboning, it's time to stir the meat back into the pot and serve. We live in an RV and kitchen fires are the stuff of nightmares. With the instapot I can walk away from the kitchen without fear❤❤❤

As an ADHDer non-cook, I am beyond grateful for this video! I’m going to try a few of these! Feeding myself is always a challenge. I’ve recently bought a few small appliances to make cooking for myself easier and safer. I’m forbidden from stovetop use due to fires and burnt up pans. A small electric skillet, air fryer & egg boiler are key components. I love boiled eggs but had several stovetop disasters [note to self: repaint that cabinet door before moving out]. I even bought a little $10 electric chopper at Aldi that’s reduced prep time to a fraction of knife chopping.

Thanks for the great ideas Cass! When I cook extra ground beef, I cool off the extra and then put it in freezer bags in meal size portions.

I have been using this hack to not cry when cutting onions and that is: when you cut off the end, rinse the cut end of the onion under water immediately, then cut as usual.

I had to get an induction stove for my house -- although I LOVE cooking with gas -- because of my ADHD, my kids' ADHD, and my mother can't hear the gas stove 'clicks' to hear if it's on or not. She'll love having a new stove no matter what it is. The other reason I LOVE having an induction stove is that my kids and mother forget that the burner would still be hot, throw a dishtowel on the stove, whatever.... with induction there is no heat immediately after you turn off the burner plus there is the added bonus of no exposed heater coils inside the oven.

[@MissPickles1980]

I've only ever had an electric hob once and my partner at the time nearly ended up with a very nasty burn, because those things retain the heat and if you don't have a cover - which mine didn't because it was built-in to the flat I was renting at the time - there are NO visual clues that the stove has been on. I had nightmares after that for ages and swore never again. In fact, I don't think I used the hob again until I moved out about three weeks later!

I'm definitely going to try some of these, they all look good and love how you use the leftovers. Thanks for keeping it real on the somewhat burnt sandwiches, which I'm sure we've all done lol I definitely prefer a gas stove which I've used most of my life (I'm 60). Thanks for sharing.

Cas! Thank you SO MUCH for this, I am totally going to try making these recipes. I plan on making the chicken soup this week! Please keep these cooking videos coming, I LOVE them! (I love all your videos) I made some of your previous recommended recipes, and they are delicious!!

[@Clutterbug]

Glad you like them!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Yum, these all sound so delicious. I prefer electric stoves. I've never used a gas stove.

[@Clutterbug]

So good!

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I hope you enjoyed these easy dinners! ❤

I live in ontario too and my grocery stores here the premade chickens like that are $12-$14 and I have a big family so I have to get 2 to have enough for everyone

[@cprk]

I noticed they aren’t cheap anymore in Toronto. But Skinnytaste taught me I can buy a raw chicken when on sale, spray it with oil and sprinkle seasoning and put whole thing in air fryer. We call it “Costco” chicken and done in 45 min. Sometimes I just toss one in the air fryer when making dinner so I have lunches for couple days.

[@sammsspace6888]

@cprk yes when we have whole chickens on sale here I buy a few and cook them all at once and then I pull them apart to have chicken like that on hand

[@hy6650]

I feel you as I’m in the same boat! But I have noticed WalMart rotisserie chickens are $8-$9 for the regular smaller ones and since I’m buying two it hurts a lil less knowing I’m paying $18 vs $25. When Metro has them for $10.99, I’m the crazy lady with 4 in my cart. I deconstruct and freeze for later…when the grocery budget allows.

[@pamcadd8658]

I recommend induction cooktop! Fast as gas, safe as electric. Super easy cooktop cleanup, nothing burns on. I’ve used one for 17 years and love it. Cast iron and many other pans work with it.

[@SavedbyGrace-re7vw]

This video is awesome! 🎉 Thank you so much! Im gonna kindly request more of the same! As you say....This is Amazeballs!!

[@lynnneinast5716]

Thank you!!!! Thank you!! Thank you for these great meal ideas! I needed some new ideas to try and I love getting multiple meals from cooking meat once. We moved into a new house 2 years ago after 32 years in our old house with an electric stove. I love my gas stove in my new house but it is definitely different. I had to put knob covers on so my grandchildren wouldn’t accidentally turn on a burner or the gas or so my adult daughter would stop bumping into the knob and turning up the flames. Be safe and keep sharing, you are a such fun and always a huge inspiration!

You’re welcome!

Love this video, I use kielbasa with my sheet pan veggies.... Yummy ❤

[@Clutterbug]

[@NYtoNC]

I love the Jamie Oliver tip of boiling water in my tea kettle and then adding it to a little bit of water on the stove. Boils much faster

[@Clutterbug]

That's a great idea!

[@SoundofSilence492]

I have an old George Foreman grill. Thing has been a workhorse; think I paid maybe 15 bucks for it on sale 20 years ago. Works great for Panini, grilled vegetables for one, hamburgers, just about anything you can think of and clean up is quick and easy. If you see one of the yard sale don’t pass it up! Also, if you prefer to use a heavy can, make sure you wash the bottom first to make it germ and dirt free 😉

[@debbiedeas]

I can’t believe there aren’t more comments about the can. Great hack, but I would definitely wrap it in something like parchment paper or foil.

Cas, you are AMAZEBALLS! I also only make meals that take less than 30 minutes. These recipes are fantastic! I can't wait to make them! And...ELECTRIC! I would love an induction stovetop with convection oven.

[@danicegewiss862]

Costco in the US sells those chickens for $4.99. The .99 drives me crazy. It's supposed to convince us the real price isn't $5. I heard of the mayo tip and used it. Yummy. We've made the wrap meal before. Freeze that onion for 5 minutes before cutting it. Your eyes won't water.

[@Clutterbug]

I'll have to try that with the onion - thanks for the tip!

[@roseburrow6304]

Loved this video and all the meals you made! I get stuck in meal ruts so it was helpful to get some new ideas.

[@Clutterbug]

Glad I can help!

[@suzannevance6681]

Cas, there is another option for the stove… induction! The only real downside is that you need induction compatible cookware. I wasn’t sure how I’d like it, but we bought it during the pandemic when inventory available was so low. It was one of our only options. My husband and I really like it! It heats up fast almost as if you were using gas, but there’s no flame!

[@csernytimipookah]

Life happens and in 2023 we left our home for a while and I had to leave my induction stove behind. It was super convenient... now I'm fiddling with an electric one. :/ Not happy.

[@Clutterbug]

Awesome!

[@SabrinaTaylor-s3l]

More recipes please!!!! Absolutely love this as someone who can’t cook

[@Clutterbug]

Glad you like it!

[@kerrikozakiewicz2047]

When I had children at home, I made meals that only took 30 minutes to cook and limited the ingredients to six. I love easy cooking videos! I also ❤ your decluttering videos! I use 5 minutes time frames a lot and sometimes I adjust the time frames as needed. I love your sense of humor!

[@jorget9179]

An induction cooker is the best thing that happened to me. They even turn off if they don’t detect a pan over them! It’s as fast as gas and much safer, and electric air ovens are like big air fryers with grill so… best combo ever!

[@shellyvinsant4542]

Instead of making dumplings you can use gnocchi!

[@Clutterbug]

If only I knew how to make gnocchi😆

[@denesecardwell8532]

You can use frozen flat dumplings or tortillas also

Put it over bread if you don't have biscuits or a layer of dough.

My favorite soup hack. Is to throw a package of tortellini into any premade soup and boil. I love adding it to my pot pie soup.

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

[@nikkifritz7489]

Hey Cass! I vote neither gas or electric. I have a new induction cooktop and it’s Amazing!! definitely the way to go 😊

[@jaindeau772]

If not gas or electricity, where does the induction stove get its energy?

[@nikkifritz7489]

@@jaindeau772 it uses electricity. But there is no element, burner, or heat source in the stove. Instead it’s magnetic, and causes a heat reacts in the pan itself. The pan heats faster than radiant electric and gas both. Boils water in under 2 min and when I season cast iron, it’s less than 30seconds to smoke!

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for the advice!

[@karenrich9092]

I agree DON'T get gas appliances. For me this is because the propane is HUGELY expensive. I buy a whole chicken, put it in the pasta pot to boil. Then cut up veggies. When the chicken is done, put veggies and seasonings in the broth while the chicken is cooling in the strainer. Once it has cooled some, break up the bird, cut up the meat and the veggies are probably done. Then add the meat and the soup is ready. I add seasonings like parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme or poultry seasoning. Serve with French bread and you're ready.

the chili looks amazing, but “real” Texas chili has no beans. Husband insists on this -native Texan.

Chili without beans is just saucy meat. I had it once and missed the beans.
