The Home Cooking Survival Guide For Your Busy Work Week

[@EthanChlebowski]

This video is killer and the intro is spot on: "This is not about cooking 16 chicken breasts and some veggies and stuffing them in tupperware." I know it works for a lot of people but I cannot eat the same meals over and over. I need fresh ingredients, and new tastes for my meals.

[@cocowwd]

Cook with E same for me

[@johnsmithington3167]

Agree, except for the daily harvest bullshit, just buy flash frozen fruit/veg in bags, that are actually recyclable. Without the mark up and subscription.

[@luciaf5626]

My thing is I hate reheated meat especially, so I could technically eat the same thing a few days in a row, but I like my protein freshly cooked and hot. Also this way you can switch up the spices you use and have a little more variety

[@sunburntsatan6475]

Without a doubt. Still, I think there's something to be said for the technique of doing a single dish over and over, really helps new home cooks gain experience with simple techniques. That being said, food doesn't only exist to satisfy the bare minimum nutritional needs of people, but it also serves as a wonderful opportunity to inject some passion and personality, and more importantly share it with others. I can't speak for everybody, but when I first moved out and started living alone and cooking for myself, grocery shopping was one of the most exciting times of the week for me, so I tended to buy a bit more than I needed. But instead of throwing it away, I found that I could do lots of other things to preserve or reuse the foods, usually involving cooking something and having my friends try it. It is a wonderful way to develop relationships and strengthen bonds, and for blossoming home cooks it's a fantastic opportunity to get some honest opinions about your cooking that are outside of your own potentially-biased perspective.

[@phatpharm06]

Cook with E YES! I am more apt to buy something, if what I have is the same thing I’ve eaten the day before.

[@wendywoo2180]

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I'm a 60-year-old divorced grandma who used to love cooking/baking--and I was real good. I worked as a cook off & on for many years, but due to physical problems I had to stop 10 years ago. I now work as a receptionist & haven't cooked regularly since that time. I currently live alone in a small apartment w/a lousy kitchen, no range hood, no dishwasher, no garbage disposal, very little counter/cupboard space. Cooking was no fun any more; I just heated things up. I also live right down the street from my job, so I can go home for lunch, which is usually a sandwich or cheese & crackers. But my mother passed away last month & I'll be moving in w/my elderly father in a few weeks--15 miles from my job. I won't get home until 5:45 pm due to the traffic & then I'll have to scramble for dinner when I walk in the door. My mother waited on him hand & foot, making sure he had a good meal every night at 6 p.m . (she was a fantastic cook). Even though he was fending for himself due to her illness, I know he would like a decent meal in the evening. There's no way I'd say "absolutely not" to my dad--if he wants a meal at 6 pm, I'll make him one. But I'm dreading the whole thing. I don't plan menus, I just wander around the store & buy what I want, I don't even budget for food. All this is going to have to change. I can't remember how to cook anything & I'll be leaving the house at 5 a.m. to swim at the local pool--which is a mile away from my job--and then I'll be in the office at 6:20am (I don't have to be there until 8am), keeping breakfast foods available for me at work, I'll have to pack a lunch & sometimes buy TV dinners, then sitting in traffic, getting home around 5:45pm (if I'm lucky) and fixing dinner. My mind is reeling at what lies ahead of me--taking inventory of cupboards/fridge/freezer, keeping track of sales, planning menus, figuring out a food budget & staying within it, hauling it all home & putting it away, prepping as much as I can ahead of time, packing lunches, making dinners, cleaning up in kitchen. I'm so overwhelmed. But I notice that you have a small kitchen, no range hood, limited space, you manage to make great meals using the most basic ingredients, you are giving me hope! I have a crockpot & an Instapot but haven't used the latter yet because I'm scared of it. I have a feeling I'll be depending on those items. I'm trying to lose weigh (60 lbs) and my dad is a very basic, simple meat-and-potatoes man, I'm hoping I won't have to cook two kinds of meals. Since I leave so early in the morning for work, he's on his own for breakfast & lunch, but he's used to that. I just have dinner & weekends to worry about. I feel as though I'm a newlywed again starting all over in the kitchen. But I'm determined to do all this & do it well. Your videos inspire me & I'm sure they'll be a big help. Thanks so much!

[@wendywoo2180]

I'd forgotten all about my post and it's now almost 2 years later, so thought I'd give you an update since someone asked. I now live w/my widowed father, who has to gain weight because he sometimes forgets to eat & keeps dropping pounds (I have to buy Boost protein shake) while I'm the exact opposite. I swim most mornings & leave the house at 5:30 a.m., started going to the gym most evenings after work, getting home at 6:45 (to wait out the traffic and health reasons), so I'm gone more than 13 hours a day, Monday-Friday, making a decent meal almost impossible. I live in an old double-wide built in 1988, the kitchen is terrible--old appliances, small refrigerator w/duct tape holding up the condiment shelves on the side; limited counter/cupboard space, no dishwasher, two shallow sinks, extremely low water pressure, I have to run the hot water for 2-3 minutes before it even comes on (I do have a disposal). Making any kind of meal and cleaning up afterwards in that kitchen makes me want to cry. And dad can't remember what he likes, what he doesn't like, most foods don't even agree w/him any more or get caught in his dentures. It's extremely challenging so I decided to play around a little. I discovered a year ago that he loves pancakes, especially blueberry ones. I found a buttermilk pancake recipe on the NYT website, I've sworn by it ever since. I make a full batch 1-2x a month (depending on the current supply), put the pancakes between pieces of parchment, stuff them in a Ziploc bag, stick them in the freezer & pull out as needed to reheat. It takes up around 1.5 hours on a weekend, but the effort is worth it. Dad's probably eaten more pancakes in the last year than he has for the past 85 years, yet he never complains. I found some casseroles that have worked, a few months ago I made a Shepherd's Pie that was great, so I make it once a month (I do my cooking on weekends, mostly Sundays), we have it for Sunday dinner, then I take leftovers for lunch during the week and reheat them for dad's dinner when I get home. I had a pot roast last night, so that's leftovers for both of us. I found some Stouffer's he enjoys (especially spaghetti), I stock up on those. He doesn't seem to mind the repeat dinners--he just wants some company in the evening and someone to fix him something to eat, but he will always resort to his old standby, pb&j, when he's hungry. Sometimes we order pizza and stick the leftovers in the freezer. If I had a more efficient kitchen, more time and a father who wasn't limited on food choices, I'd branch out a little more, but as of now I'm planning on buying a larger refrigerator as a X-mas present to myself so I have more room to store freezer meals.

A tip to make yogurt (or curd) at home without fancy ingredients/instruments- just use some leftover normal yogurt (like 1-2 tbsp), and top it with a cup or so of milk, leave it overnight in a warm and humid place and next day you are done! Across India our moms and grandmoms make homemade curd almost every night. You do need some hit and trial with it thought so that you reach the consistency you desire.

[@cpmc5400]

Honestly you could probably make this into an individual continuous series. Do a weekly episode showing what you'll be cooking for the work week, make it a longer video and have it as something people watch while they do the same and get some inspiration from you. Or maybe even a livestream weekly of this and upload that after the broadcast?

Yogourt: definitely don't need the instant pot. For those who would like to try homemade yogourt without having to buy an instant pot (or save said instant pot for cooking a main course instead) using masson jars and incubating in the oven (non-LED light on) is great too! I even saw a lady do the incubating in a cooler container, using hot water to maintain the temperature nice and warm.

[@TS-sh8xo]

My mom has been making yogurt FOREVER! She doesn’t use an instant pot, just a regular pot. Takes some practice and a watchful eye (I cleaned enough boiled over milk! Not fun). Her yogurt comes out more soury, we eat it with savory foods. And it’s so thick and creamy without straining. Refikas kitchen has a good tutorial.

[@ScarletLeo11]

Hi! My mom grew up in a village in Greece without electricity, so her way of making yogurt is a great option for those without an Instant Pot. She boils he yogurt to 200°F, puts it in a large bowl with a lid while it's still hot and wraps it in a bunch of blankets or towels to keep the heat in as long as possible. She then places it in the warmest place in the house for a couple days and checks on it from time to time to see if it's the consistency she wants. And that's it!

I like to add a little gelatin to my homemade yogurt. You can't taste it, it increases the protein content, and it makes the yogurt thicker so you don't have to strain it. It makes the texture more jello-ey, but just whisk it up if you want a different consistency.

Batching can still be creative and not monotonous. Some great tips in here. As for making yoghurt, you can make it with as little as a thermometer and a well insulated place - even a thermos will do (but add a bit more insulation like towels etc.). Just heat it up to pasteurisation, let it cool to the high end of the temperature required for fermenting as it will cool off a little. Put in a cosy place for the required time without adding any more power. Keep a few tablespoons to start the next batch. You can also use plant milks to make yoghurt. They all have their own distinctive flavour. If you happen to have some probiotic capsules they work as a starter, but are too expensive to buy just for that purpose, as you only need some for the first batch.

Unless you're using raw milk, you aren't bringing the milk to 180+F to pasteurize it. You're heating it to denature the milk proteins so you don't end up with slimy yogurt. And you aren't buying unpasteurized milk in most states. I know the dairies around here do sell it 'under the table' as it were, but most just don't risk it because it can open them nasty lawsuits if people get sick. I didn't post that to be mean. Everytime I see a cooking channel I watch on the regular finally talk about making homemade yogurt, they all make that same mistake about why you're heating the milk. :)

I recently forgot to make a new batch so I went and bought some at the store, and confirmed once again the difference is minimal. Greek Gods and ZOI brands make good yogurt thats pretty much indistinguishable from home made. The only time I saw I significant difference was when I blended up some fruit and added it to the yogurt pre-incubation, that was a night and day difference compared to fruit flavored store bought yogurts. But that only lasted a couple days, after that the yogurt cultures broke down the fruit enough and it became comparable to store bought again. I supposed you can solve that problem by adding the fruit just before eating, but you can do the same with non-fruit flavored store bought yogurt and get the same results.

Really good content, and I can't agree more how much I like making that herb dressing (coriander and mint chutney) to accompany all sorts of dishes. Surprised that you make it too :D

This was such a kickass video- informative, concise, and food shots that made my mouth water Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together :D

While I really liked the video, I actually find that during my busiest weeks, cooking is a SUPER way to chill and relax. Working 9 to 23 and taking one two hour break to focus on cooking is absolutely great imo:)
