What’s for Dinner | EASY & QUICK Budget Friendly Family Meal Ideas | January 2024

[@lizarichards2243]

You crack me up with all your Pioneer Woman products! Your kitchen looks like mine! LOL. Everything looks so good!

[@thetaekwondoe3887]

I'm eyeing that queso taco rice. Looks good.

[@christinatareski8882]

That enchilada queso rice skillet looked amazing and would be good as a burrito filling.

[@sammyhammy78]

I love these ideas! Thank you for sharing. I'm kind of in a meal planning rut, so-to-speak, so this has helped. Cuban sandwiches from your last WFD video and the Italian sub pizzas and the ranch pork chops are going on my meal plan! Thank you!!! Check your local liquor store for the 4 pack of small wine bottles. I do that with red and white wine to cook with and it's just the right portion most of the time.

[@OliviaMiller-ft7vh]

Your recipes are always my fave ❤️

[@brittanyhoffer4795]

Your videos are hands down my favorite go to for new ideas ❤ thank you!!!

[@KristinStepp]

Aw thank you so much! ❤️❤️

[@enomismarie]

That breakfast for dinner and the pizza look delicious as well as the broccoli cheddar soup!

[@heatherjohnson2511]

If you sprinkled a little ranch seasoning, and garlic powder on the chops for cooking, that takes them to the next level....then do your ,gravy I'm sure that would be the best ever! Thank you for sharing all your ideas! ❤

[@KristinStepp]

That’s much more up my alley! 😋

[@brandicastro383]

i like the way you cook your organized and neat with great ideas for meals

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@Not_londonroblox]

This is the second time I have watched every single what's for lunch and what's for dinner videos of yours. And ive been coming back here and there for years! It made me sad cuz I won't be joining u every night to make more notes from your recipes (it took around 6 days to get through them all). I also have 2 young kids and I make many of the meals u have shared. I live in maine and since going through all your videos, again, your accent may have rubbed off on me a bit. Lol. Still awaiting some of dad's recipes, if u ever get him to share his secrets :)) thank u for all u do!!

[@noblefish29]

Mt family thanks you for sharing these recipes! We have gotten our family favs from you and I love watching to get lunchbox/dinner ideas. :)

[@KristinStepp]

Aw that makes me so happy! Thank you for being here! ❤️

[@savannahnf]

Love your what’s for dinner videos I always get inspiration from them!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!!

[@shaakeramcqueen3530]

Hi kristin. I just absolutely love you and all the help you give us. I would love to see a video of how you grocery shop, or even how you create a list. Is it by week, or by month? How much do you spend on groceries? You never run out of the good stuff.

[@maggie2936-q1m]

I’m watching this in the morning, so that breakfast for dinner looks really good. 😊

[@rachelhutto4539]

I have to try that soup!! Looks so creamy

[@ChloelWolfe]

That sub pizza is such a good idea!! Trying that soon.

[@Pickled.Peppers]

You just need a ring light or a bright light source (white bright led lights) that focuses on what your camera is. Indoor lighting is rarely sufficient for consistent lighting.

[@mtaz972]

That soup looks amazing

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome recipes, thanks 👍👍👍

[@pengle]

I love all your videos and have tried many of your meals. I am a big fan of breakfast for dinner (well, any time really). The only adjustment I would have made to yours would have been to cook those homemade shredded potatoes in that luscious bacon fat. Nothing better!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you! & ooo great idea! 😍

[@expectingamiricle]

Hi Kristen, photographer here. 😊 On the issue with your lighting turning a yellowish hue when you make something white or yellow, would you happen to be on auto white balance? Your camera could be picking up on the yellow hue of the soup and think the lighting is different and adjust the white balance accordingly.

[@KristinStepp]

I’m not sure lol but I will definitely look into it! Thank you SO much!! ❤️❤️

[@expectingamiricle]

@@KristinStepp you're most welcome! If your able to use manual white balance, (aka Kelvin) the best range for indoor is in the 5,000's and that might produce a better result.

[@bonniepwtf]

That sub pizza looked fantastic! I also love breakfast for supper🥓. Everything looked well worth the effort. Thanks Kristin💟

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@jackie23g]

Yay! Thank you for sharing your recipes with us! Have a blessed day! Love your channel 💕

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@staceylovebeauty724]

MY DAD LIVE ON RED LICK RD. AND I LIVE IN BEREA KENTUCKY. THE BED AND BREAKFAST IS SO COOL. YOU INSPIRE ME. THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION AND AMAZING COOKING VIDEOS

[@KristinStepp]

Hey neighbor! Thank you!!

[@jennyt7612]

Hi Kristin, you are a wonderful cook. Everything looks delicious, especially the hash browns & the pork chops. Your comments along the way are great (like the pan that heats up incredibly fast, & going next door to get milk !). Lastly, I could happily listen to your lovely Southern accent all day. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos. Best wishes from Sydney Australia

[@KristinStepp]

Aw thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

[@urfavISLANDGIRL]

Hey Kristin can we please have a fridge/freezer tour because I like to see what you have so I can buy the ingredients 🩷🩷

[@ontheEdgeB]

And pantry/ food storage!

[@melissamclaughlin4383]

Hello Kristen,you really make the best meals.always something new and interesting.absolutely delicious 🤤. OMG,thank you so,so much.i hope you all are staying safe happy and healthy 🙏🙏🤗🙏 wonderful to see you Kristen 🙏🤗❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! ❤️

[@lindahughes530]

Love your videos ❤️

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@cindyserrato6534]

Kristin try scrambled eggs with sour cream and chives. Maybe the kids will it eggs then if they like sour cream. It's really really good 😊

[@KristinStepp]

That sounds so good!!

[@WitchwitchshesA]

Hi! I’m making the chicken cordon bleu soup tonight thanks to you! Thanks for the new dinner idea!

[@christeenprice5637]

I used to make scrambled eggs with cheese,served with ketchup 👍👍👍

[@aprilmorefield922]

I always make pw pizza dough. I just make the normal recipe and freeze the other half of the dough. Great video!

[@KristinStepp]

I will do that next time, thank you!!

[@zincchristina9296]

Great sharing My friend have a nice weekend ❤❤❤

[@JoyceDunnell]

I just got the exact same Pioneer Woman cookbook from my aunt and uncle for Christmas. I already made a few recipes from it. Both were delicious. :)

[@kathear15]

Kristin, I think you just saved my behind with that beef queso skillet meal. I've gotta make our food stretch this month, and that looks filling, warm and that it will make lots of leftovers. Bless you and your family.

[@KristinStepp]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ritakiser5638]

Hi Kristin, I love your channel. I'm a chef and cutting baking recipes in half takes some work. With the pizza dough, it's best to make the full recipe, split it and freeze the rest. Keep up the great work😊❤.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! & I will keep your tip with me from now on! ❤

[@ritakiser5638]

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I've been watching you for over 6 years and always get some of the best recipes from you. Everything looks so delicious.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much! You’ve always been so supportive. ❤️❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@KristinStepp you're welcome, friend. That's just who I am. I try to support all my favorite KZbinr's.

​@KristinStepp thank you, friend. Hope you're doing well this lovely FriYAY morning.

[@lorettataylor3374]

You always make everything look so good. Great recipes…❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@caracoates4834]

The bed and breakfast food looked pretty delicious. I bet that pasta would be amazing in the summer with garden veggies.

[@KristinStepp]

Yes!! They grow their own

[@heatherfeather317]

Hope you have a great weekend also! 🌄 ❤ from Colorado

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@angelabrockman7816]

All delicious looking!

[@victoriasmith2965]

I love watching your videos ever tho i never cook 😂 my MIL comes over everyday and cooks us a meal !

[@laurameyer6681]

😀 Yum!!!

[@mollymay8998]

Loved the look of everything you made! I really want to try the sub pizza now. Also, the taco rice looks really easy and delicious. The Pioneer Woman pizza crust recipe from (I think) her first cookbook is my go to recipe. I don't know what the proportions of flour to liquid are so I don't know if it's the same as your recipe, but the ingredients and process is the same. If it didn't work for you, go with what you like!

[@camiile17]

I’ve had trouble with many Pioneer Woman recipes, any baking I just don’t trust. Love her Thanksgiving cornbread stuffing though.

[@AuroraTigress]

So many good recipes! I need to try the chicken cordon bleu soup and the Italian sub pizza. I've seen cut-resistant gloves that are for grating stuff.

[@KristinStepp]

I need them, I am scarred up lol

[@kimberlychristmas-lee3868]

Wow I’ve never been this early! Perfect timing!

[@melissagiovannini5198]

Ok now I need to make that Italian sub pizza 😍

[@alejandrapamelanila4154]

I loooove your videos, I try never to miss one, so I have a question, are you still uploading lunches videos? I really like watching those 'cause I'm a worker, so I find them very useful

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! Yes, I uploaded one in December and my next video in a few days will be one. 🥰

[@meluvs2read]

Have you seen Fleishman's Pizza Yeast? Apparently you don't have to let the dough rise. You mix it all according to the recipe on the back of the package and immediately form your pizza and bake it. My niece said her regular pizza crust recipe takes 3 hours to be ready to use so this saves time.

[@KristinStepp]

I haven’t! I’ll have to look for it next time 🥰

[@thehauntedmansionfan]

Question about the first pot you used, the enamel one. Have you tried cleaning it with Bar Keepers Friend and some Dawn dish soap? That cleaning combo helps clean my enamel Lodge pans perfectly.

[@KristinStepp]

I’ve tried everything except bar keepers friend, I would love if it worked because it drives me crazy. I’ll buy some the next time I’m out, thank you for the tip! ❤️

[@thehauntedmansionfan]

@@KristinStepp Also, use either a soft scrub sponge or soft scrub brush.

[@JeanBenton-zj2bj]

Do you also have a suggestion for the brown spots that get on my glass baking dishes? I assume it has something to do with the cooking spray getting baked on, but it won't wash off. Any suggestions?

[@thehauntedmansionfan]

@@JeanBenton-zj2bj Some times I just lightly use a S.O.S scrub pad.

[@rayselby3487]

Sue here: always love your videoes! Just a reminder to everyone - instead of halving recipes, make full batches to either freeze for another night, or to share with a neighbor or relatiive who could use a homemade cooked meal 😋😊🧡.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! I will follow that advice from now on.

[@dianeziembicki2918]

Everything looked delicious! The dough might have been due to the weather. Humidity & stuff affect dough. I only know that because my dad was a cook in the navy. 25 years . Then he went to Uncle Charlie’s. Anyhow… have a great week!

[@KristinStepp]

That makes sense! Thank you!!

[@Butterfly_Kisses8085]

In my hometown, we have a pizza place called Fat Alberts. They have what they call fatboys. Your pizza reminded me of them. They are basically a calzone but with sandwhich toppings. They have the italian, the ham n swiss, a roast beef and swiss, and the big boy which is all the meats and then standard sub toppings. So good. Your videos are always amazing and inspiring me to try new recipes. Thanks for sharing.

[@KristinStepp]

I would love to order something like that! 😍 & thank you!! ❤️

[@yoncbwl2738]

Hey Kristin, Have you tried the hand crank cheese/potato grater? It works well and saves your knuckles.

[@KristinStepp]

I have seen that and love the idea! I haven’t purchased only because I have something similar that attaches to my kitchen aid mixer, I should have used that for the potatoes. Great idea!

[@meganstevens50]

You’re from sort of the same area I’m from and we have Gino’s pizza pubwiches that look very similarly to the Italian pizza sub you made. They have another layer of pizza dough on top and it has cheese and onions (I know you wouldn’t like that part 😅)

[@marissadbanks]

Hi can you please do a week of dinners that are dairy free please

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

That vegetarian restaurant looks absolutely amazing!

[@agirly1503]

Yes!

[@elenacala]

When you cook your bacon, you can put a cookie cooling rack on the cookie sheet (lined) and fold the bacon in half to fit more on. Then when it's done you can collect all the grease from the cookie sheet for later. That sub pizza is a genius idea!

[@urnsshell]

Can you pretty please adopt me? Your food/channel is my favorite ever

[@KristinStepp]

Aw thank you!

[@gauri-dj1tk]

Love for India ❤

[@AngelaCraig-hi7mv]

This has nothing to do with the video but I see a lot of cooks in the comments and I have a question. Is it possible to freeze deviled eggs?

[@KristinStepp]

I have never tried it but I honestly don’t think that would work very well.

[@Hi_Its_LP]

That soup is not budget friendly lol but I def know your family enjoyed it!!!

[@KristinStepp]

It cost me around $10 to make, to feed 4 I think that’s pretty good. Plus we had leftovers for lunch 🙂

[@GoodPersonTestWebsite]

It might depend on your area/stores and definitely depends on your budget.

[@mado8594]

Hey yo

[@Curiouscat5980]

Hey👋👍😋👍♥️🥰😁

[@christinatareski8882]

Dough recipes are really affected by humidity. With all the snow you had recently, there was probably more humidity in your house.

[@JFlower7]

I got rid of my box graders too dangerous to my little ol' fingers.

[@kearao6726]

Hi Kristen, I just watched the Netflix doc “You Are What You Eat.” Really made me think. I think you would find it interesting

[@Katkohberg]

Wow you eat a lot of cheese. 😂
