PANTRY CLEAN OUT MEALS | WHAT'S FOR DINNER ON A BUDGET | THE SIMPLIFIED SAVER

[@melh8179]

FYI (trying to be helpful and not a Karen but) You should not try storing open metal cans in the refrigerator, because the iron and the tin can seep into the foods and taint the flavour and in some cases cause negative health effects. Keeping open cans in the fridge is especially dangerous if the food is quite acidic, such as fruit and tomatoes. ❤️ just be careful with that :)

[@hannahkayee831]

Agree it makes them taste like tin.

[@fionainherkitchen]

I was thinking the exact same thing... Was always told that growing up....

[@fionainherkitchen]

Delicious meals though!! Some fantastic ideas 😊 thank you 😊

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for the tip!

[@gillygals7633]

It can cause botulism!! Please please don’t do this! Just get little plastic containers.

[@waterstreeter]

Welcome back!!! Please don't worry about how you look! You look just fine!!! Real life is infinitely preferable to pretense!!! We tune in to your channel for what you show, not how you look. Not that there is anything wrong with how you look! I'll take substance over symbolism any day!!! I've been trying to empty my cabinets of all of the foodstuffs I have left in them so I don't find stuff in them from 20 years ago like I did the first time I reorganized them! Almost there! Nearly no canned goods or leftover pasta! Love banana bread!!! I may try TJ's mix but I do make a good recipe from scratch and make sandwiches of them. Banana frosting and sliced bananas between two slices about as thick as a slice of bread. Mmmmmm...! As always my absolute very very best to you and yours!!!! Take care!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for your awesome comment and for tuning in!

[@marissas.2225]

It’s so funny, I would have said the same thing in my messy bun and tshirt if I did this on KZbin but I always think you look great!

[@shirleyjjohnston5469]

It seems the pretty ones complain how they look. YOUR OK. YOUR VERY PRETTY. NOT LYING, your very attractive.

[@Christina-km5ts]

Great tips! My family is vegetarian but can still find so much inspiration in this video. Thank you!

[@donnavincent8630]

Everyone everywhere is feeling the effects of inflation. Food gas heating oil. It's bringing us all back to to basics and what's really important. Thanks for sharing with us Abby. We all appreciate what you do. I know we will all get through this together. God bless.

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Truth! Thanks for your comment Donna.

[@tammymilner814]

You being real is really appreciated. Shows you're a strong person and truly care about the really important things in life like family, friends, etc.

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thank you Tammy!

[@stacyrussell460]

My kids love garlic bread pizzas. Any extra sauce usually gets put into a sandwich or quart sized zippy bag & put in the freezer. Lay it as flat as you can get it so it thaws out quicker.

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Pasta sauce is so versatile - agreed!

[@checklistmama4339]

I love shelf cooking! It’s fun to see the creative meals people come up with. Great video! Now I’m inspired to see whats in my pantry 😁

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Hope you enjoy!

[@robino941]

My freezer is stuffed right now, and I need to use things up too. I always love seeing what you make!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for tuning in Robin!

[@cleanwithniki]

Wow I love this videos! It’s so important to try to finish everything you stock at home. Thanks for the inspiration! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Haha, thank you! It's a real power move ;)

You look great your little popsicle helper is awesome.

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

I think so too!

[@Blessedgal_3897]

I've missed you. 💜💜 Girl please you look just fine. Everything looked so delicious! 😌

[@mdketzer]

They all looked so good. I made sour cream chicken enchiladas last week but I put green enchilada sauce on top! I make them different every time depending on what I have on hand!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

That sounds really yummy!

[@RAM-eb2te]

Thanks for sharing! We enjoy easy pantry meals around here!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Can't beat 'em!

[@gingergolden2543]

For anyone trying to make the banana bread a little healthier, the bananas can actually replace the oil in most baked good recipes (or applesauce or pumpkin puree 1:1 ratio)! Looks great

[@a.r.4847]

Exactly what I needed this week! It’s Spring Break so I’m off work and in dire need of a pantry clean out! Thanks for the motivation!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

You got this!

[@leandreariggins189]

I so needed this! So excited to watch! I have so much food in my pantry and can never think of what to use it for. Yes, Abby!!!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@SaltyBuzzard]

Personally, at the moment, I wouldn’t even think of cleaning out my pantry.. there’s no guarantee of what (or IF) you can find when you go to the store right now 🥴 shelf stable products are staying on-hand! Thanks for the video tho 🥰

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for watching and commenting Tracie!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Thanks for tuning in, Bella!

[@joycetheobald1717]

You've saved me many times on dinner ideas! I have a silly one to share since your kiddos are little, I used to grab two boxes of Mac n Cheese and a few hot dogs or cheddar brauts,slice them up and mix them in with the cooked mac n cheese. We called it "Butthole Casserole". My kids used to avoid the ends of hotdogs because they said they looked like buttholes. We still laugh about that one. Lol 😆

[@elainecarrillo5434]

The meals look delicious TFS!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Glad you enjoyed, Elaine!

Thanks Ashley!!

[@pecansquirrel3489]

What I love about you and your channel is how real and relatable you are! Thank you for that! Great meals! I really want to try the sausage/sauce skillet! Looks so good! Was that a smoked sausage or a kielbasa?

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Smoked or Kielbasa would work great!

[@brenda2800]

Over 20 years ago I had kielbasa I needed to use up. I cut it into coin shape and added BBQ sauce and ranch dressing while cooking it in a skillet. Still one of our go to meals with some kind of rice and veggies. Watching you cook your reminded me of this.

[@MrJpen82]

Love the pizza and Texas toast . . . the best of both worlds! Will be putting hamburger on top of that as well. Love everything else Abby! Thank You! Have a great week dear!👍😋💛

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Can't beat that combo! Thanks for watching Joe!

[@mo-townpug4516]

You are beautiful and you made some yummy looking food. My granddaughter is 2 and when my daughter is trying to cook she ends up having to hold her sometimes when she is cooking. Before you know it your babies will all be grown up! Your family is precious😊

These meals look delicious and simple. Thanks for the info.

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Glad you like them!

[@Mamadriggs]

such great ideas! Just FYI -- it's perfectly okay to store food in the can in the fridge -- even the USDA says so. I do it quite often and just throw a silicone lid on it. I always use in a day or two, however. I need to do a full pantry purge -- youve inspired me. :)

I fimd your channel very helpful! I love to cook but i have the problem that i very often overcomplicate things which leads to spending way too much on food! You beautifully show how you can make delicious foods in a easy way using basic ingredients and i highly appreciate that! I often do vegetarian versions of your dishes as i do not eat meat and i only prepare meat from time to time for my husband and daughter. Thank you so much Abby♥️

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching Laura. Love how creative you've been!

Thanks for the inspiration& laughs today❤ No food inspiration& time change here😢feeling down& gloomy. I laughed so hard at Stella yelling from the chair& how you pushed through😂😂😂!!! Seems like just yesterday you posted your hospital delivery video. I have all the fixings for the Texas Toast Pizza down to pepperoni& was not thinking😭 I have NOT done those in so long??? It takes me back to Dennys restaurant here in Virginia. They did Texas Toast with the marinara sauce filled with mozzarella sticks. Trust me its amazing& I have those in the freezer too😃Blessings to you& the family❤

Loving these meals! What kind of bread mix was it you made with the can of beer n cheese?

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

It's Trader Joe's beer bread! Super easy and yummy

[@karmonbarger8620]

Yes, we call it hillbilly cooking where we live, lol. We live a ways out of town and so, if we go to make a certain meal and don't have the exact ingredients, we just use what we have and it's almost always good! Btw, u look fine, that's real life!

[@thesimplifiedsaver7052]

Love that! And thank you :)

[@juliecarns]

Trader Joe’s is quite pricey; do you have an Aldi? Packaged meals costs a lot more than buying veggies and meat separately.
