The LEGO is Wisser's Mother 😂 I remember it from Mr Bean's movie it's so funny

[@BarbaraU]

I really appreciate the fact that you always give credit to the website you get recipes from. I've seen so many What's for dinner channels that act like they made the recipes up themselves.

[@SeeMindyMom]

I try to when I remember! I come up with a lot of stuff "on the fly", but it's good to get some inspiration and send people that way when I do. :)

[@MomNTraining]

I agree! I don’t think it takes away anything from the KZbinr and then if they link the blog with the recipe, I can support two people.

[@nullasalus3]

James Whistler! "Whistler's Mother"! Brick is doing a great job! I hope you're feeling better, Mindy.

[@SeeMindyMom]

That's it! Thank you! I am totally over the cold and much better this week. Save for a little allergy flare up (darn cedar trees are high...ugh!)

[@nullasalus3]

@@SeeMindyMom My allergies have been kicking my butt because of this super warm winter we're having. :/

As my 4 year old started saying recently: "I'm sick of tired" 😂 not sure where she got it but me too, kid. Thanks for the easy ideas!

[@meganpease552]

That's totally Wistler's mother. He did a great job!

[@christinej2828]

I so appreciate your fresh ideas. I am a homeschooling Mom of nine kids. There are many days when I need dinner to feed a crowd, yet not be a laborious project. Thank you for your amazing ideas.

As someone with chronic fatigue syndrome, mealtime is a constant struggle. Thank you for this!

[@lilapacheco4826]

Whistler's Mother? Darn that is good Lego work. I love this video. I am literally exhausted and feeling like I am drowning. Great quick meals video!!

[@kathleenchambers6485]

Maybe you could say how much your family enjoyed the meal, maybe a 5 star system. The pork chops looked easy and tasty.

[@kevinanddeb8829]

Going through chemo and radiation, great timing for this!

I pray complete healing for you, for quality knowledgeable care, and for rest and peace for you and your family in the process. I hope there were some ideas here you can use. :)

Brick's awesome Lego project is a recreation of Whistler's Mother by James McNeill Whistler! (Bonus trivia: the subject's name was Anna McNeil Whistler.) 😊

[@SeeMindyMom]

yes! That is absolutely correct!

[@wadly312]

Mindy thanks for always keeping it super real. Shortcuts week when your tired and sick is so representative of real life, and all these were completely decent nourishing meals. Love it.

[@ihartsnowyo]

Whistler’s Mother is the art work. It’s so good!

[@tammypierce3250]

Whistlers mother? That Lego picture is absolutely awesome!

[@carmarasmussen8118]

I don't know why I never finished this video when you first posted it, but I just watched the whole video and this has to be one of my favorites of yours. Everything looked so easy and delicious! 🎉😊❤

[@hardenmama1800]

Great job, Brick! Loved your “take it easy” joke. Glad you are feeling better.

[@mrskimmieg]

Bravo, Brick! You did a great job recreating “Whistler’s Mother”! You are very talented. 😊

[@barbarapettigrew8451]

Whistler’s Mother- nice job Brick - very creative. Thank you for being approachable and your great recipes!

[@theresaanndiaz3179]

Lately, my energy levels vary with how much sleep I get, so I totally get needing some easy meals. On my higher energy days I make recipes that make several servings, I freeze enough for our meals ( for 2 adults) worth in containers for my non-cooking days. I also freeze separate ingredients that I can easily combine to make meals.

[@vyemarshall859]

Thank you so much for the meal using the Knorr rice packets. I have enough Knorr pasta AND rice sides to last through a zombie apocalypse and no idea how to use them creatively in ways my family will eat. We will definitely be making use of your idea as I have all of the ingredients here already. Again, thank you!! Now to find more ideas to use up all of the others I have in my pantry.

[@ashleejones586]

Here I am sick, looking for easy quick meals and my choir teacher from Choctaw High School is now a wonderful KZbinr! Wow the world is small!

[@SeeMindyMom]

Haha! Yep! You found me! 😊

[@shannontaber180]

I love that pork chop recipe. I recently tried it with bacon horseradish dip instead of french onion, and it was a hit with my husband. You can use any combination of sour cream-based dip, cheeses, and something crunchy.

[@SeeMindyMom]

Good to know! Thanks for the tip!

[@SandiMacDougall]

Whistlers mom? I don't know much about art. And my label fell off my BBQ sauce too. Aldi brand? And the Eagels are on my bucket list. Lucky parents. Love these meals.

[@emc425]

The art is Whistler's mother by James Whistler. Very creative. I knew right away what is was❤

[@carollzellmer6792]

Red hots candies can be added to the rosey applesauce jello, they give a good cinnamon flavor. I'm not sure how much to put in though.

[@neverwares]

Brick’s artwork is amazing! What a great idea!

[@marshamellow2023]

Your son did a great and very creative rendition of Whistler’s Mother by James Whistler. These are my kind of teal life dinners. Great video.

My friend has made the lemon dessert. I would call it a cake not a bar. I was surprised by the ingredients 😂

[@evelynandjakob]

I made the pork chop recipe last night, but I used boneless skinless chicken thighs. The family loved it! It wasn't dry at all. :)

[@SeeMindyMom]

I’m so glad! I plan to try it again. :)

[@AmySimmonds-luv4Jesus]

I love the Lasagna soup hack. Thank you for sharing. I didn't know the lego portrait (I read the comments to find out) but I think it was very creative for Brick to use Legos.

[@SeeMindyMom]

The lasagna soup was really good, and I think I'll use that little trick again. I'm actually not a huge fan of the frozen lasagnas, but this was a great way to utilize them!

[@rosemarydoran9907]

The best frozen lasagna is from Costco. Two trays for $17, and you can bake them in the microwave! The sausage/beef is very tasty. Has some spice to it. The beef is good but I like the kick of the sausage/beef even more!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Just made the rosy applesauce yesterday and tried it for a bed time snack. Yum. Never had it before. Now I'm having it as part of my lunch... but @SeeMindyMom, I am having it with my cottage cheese. OMGoodness, if you haven't tried this yet, you need to.

[@crabbyresister9194]

I have a Pork chop recipe for ya. Mother's German Pork Chops: In a skilllet add oil, bread bone-in chops. Not thick chops, not the thinest chops. Just right bone in chops. Bread them in butter milk and flour salt and pepper add to a hot skillet. Let them cook several minutes before flipping. Let cook for several minutes on each side. The crispier the chops the better. Add 2 cans of Bavarian sauerkraut. Stir in and scrape up the crust the sauerkraut should BROWN UP. In the skillet. Remove chops leave sauerkraut in a little longer. Then, serve chop with sauerkraut on top! Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and frozen or fresh peas! Yum yum yum!!! Delicious! (We also serve with raw sliced onion)

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

Thanks for the realism❤ Get well soon ❤

You made me LOL with that Eagles joke. True confessions: I love Stouffers lasagna, so I will definitely be trying that soup.

[@M52301]

My Grandma used to make us applesauce like this in the late 80's/early 90's

[@rosemarydoran9907]

Whistlers Mother! Another easy dessert is mix together a 22 oz can of crushed pineapple and a box of one-step angel food cake mix (the type you just add water to like you used). Bake in 9x13 pan until toothpick comes out clean. Top with whipped cream or cool whip. This is an old WW recipe. Easy and yummy.
