What’s for Dinner | Simple Budget Friendly Family Meal Ideas | August 2022

[@idalia_alba]

Thank you for the video. I learned so many different ideas for quick meals. I need them because I started working evenings and I need to have dinner ready before I go to work.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Wish I could reach through the screen and grab some of the tomatoes. Nothing is better than homegrown fruit and veggies.

[@t.m.23]

I agree!

[@janiceyoung2004]

I agree 💕💕

[@susann.1618]

Me too! You killed it this week, Miss Kristen!!

[@KristinStepp]

@@susann.1618 thank you! 🥰

[@kendrasammons3744]

I love when you use the literal fruits of your father’s garden 🥰 that spaghetti looks absolutely DELICIOUS😋

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

That bbq chicken corn and potato and broccoli looks very good.

[@crazypuglady3235]

Oh my gosh that last meal looks so yummy!!! And the homegrown tomatoes were beautiful.

[@karlieraine6000]

You can also just cook the corn in the husk on the grill! Remove some of the loose outside leaves and cut the top with hairs off. Cook, then dehusk when you're ready to eat. I find it peels better, and the peeled husk acts as a nice lil handle to eat it with. Plus, you don't have to use any extra resources!

[@lindseyyoung9149]

This is an excellent tip! Can't believe I've never heard of this method before. Definitely trying next time! Thanks 😊

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! 💗

[@dreamweaver3761]

I also give my potatoes a head start in the microwave. I even do it when I'm making potato wedges in the air fryer. I also put A1 on my baked potatoes. Hello from western KY.

[@roshae_asha]

those tomatoes look DIVINE 🤤

[@teemoney8517]

The tomatoes tomatoes tomatoes on the windowsill took me back to my childhood in Yardley Pa. at my mom mom's her garden she did the same thing before we came over so that they would been ripped for us to take home. That last dinner was a memory for me so thank you.

[@skye4743]

OMG, those tomatoes are redder than Christmas. Big "yum!" and thanks for sharing your recipes.

[@jenniferlackey178]

Delicious! Thanks for reminding me about the grill mates marinade. That stuff is great!

[@MumandDadto10]

[@marydillard9909]

Those potatoes tossed in olive and lipton onion soup mix are so good.

[@lisasturniolo2527]

All these meals looked amazing - I think I might have to give them all a try.

[@jessilynn26]

My lunches this week were Mississippi Chicken with jasmine rice!! So good!!!

I never thought to change out the meats! I use the exact same recipe for Mississippi pot roast. Can’t wait to taste it with chicken!

[@tapsfan2]

Thank you for letting us know about finding bones in the Walmart chicken, that’s very frustrating and a choking danger! I love your recipes!

[@GalaxyElfJess]

Beautiful pasta sauce! I was hoping you were going to roast those tomatoes and you did not disappoint!

[@sarahmiller4824]

Everything looks so yummy. I just throw the corn on the grill in the husk and when it is done you peel down the husk and have a handle to hold it lol. It is so easy and yummy!

[@kimberlylholt]

That sauce looks wonderful.

It’s corn! It has the juice! 😂 great meals as always!!

[@KristinStepp]

I thought of that while editing 😂😂 & thank you! ❤️

[@YdnickniL]

We have a boatload of tomatoes to. I make homemade salsa. I'll have to try the tomato sauce.

[@beckyhines3814]

I've been hungry for home grown tomatoes. My neighbor said she's had a lot. I said you want to pass them my way I would love it. All your meals looks really good.

[@laurameyer6681]

😃 That spaghetti sauce looked amazing!

[@lleonard8854]

Everything looks so good! We soak our corn in water for 5 mins with the husk on then put the whole thing on the bbq and it steams right in the husk. Take off the grill, wait for it to cool a bit, peel and eat! 🌽

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

I like to use the (fully cooked) apple chicken sausages in breakfast burritos or in a breakfast bowl (chopped of course)

[@KristinStepp]

Ooo that’s a great idea!!

[@holldoll7764]

One other thing I always add to pasta sauce is Italian dressing it gives such a good flavor! That grilled chicken meal…..girl! That looked so good! Yum 😋

[@kelliejackson1191]

Your homemade sauce looked delicious!! Your grill meal all looked wonderful too!

[@mandiesplace]

Oh my that last meal looked so good! The potatoes got a little brown and the chicken and vegetables look so good! The hamburger helper reminded me of the lasagna flavor in a box my mom used to make all the time.

[@ashweenie9612]

i used to watch your videos daily back in like,,,, i wanna say 2019 but im not super sure, and it was one of the main things that got me past my eating disorder. thankyou.

[@KristinStepp]

Oh wow I’m so happy that I could help. ❤️

[@susanb5058]

Your tomato sauce came out gorgeous! I’m into making fresh tomato sauce now too, it’s so delicious. Try adding some fresh basil leaves…next level delicious!!

[@lynziiveson4689]

We tried your Chile Colorado burritos tonight for dinner. They were a hit. We made some Mexican rice on the side. Thanks for sharing!

[@safiyyab]

I also used my garden tomatoes to make some pasta sauce last night for dinner! You’re right the taste is sooo amazing, way different than the jarred stuff!

[@mirandaellis2040]

Cavenders Greek seasoning & butter is the best thing ever on grilled corn 😍

[@HippyMoonMomma]

Ugh always having the best foods! Can’t wait for the cookbook! Lol 😆

[@jjyangrules]

That's a perfectly smooth spaghetti pomodoro! I'm sure it would taste even better with some fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil before serving. I made this exact dish this week, just subbing the garlic bread with a simple arugula salad topped with more parmesan :)

[@kimzeppelin5112]

That sheet pan meal looked amazing. I am definitely going to be making that on my next meal plan.

[@sherryd339]

Yum! Looks delicious. Hope you are having a wonderful week. Blessings from Diane in Oklahoma!❤️

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome recipes, thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

I have had such a craving for corn on the cob, now I'm going to have to get some. Great selection of meals & I always like the variety of methods for cooking, IP, crock pot, air fryer, oven, stove top & grill. Take care Kristin💟

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! ❤️

[@lillyrainblue1581]

Great ideas. I love sheet pan potatoes I use shake and bake seasonings .

[@graceadeline1990]

My current trick with chicken breast is to dry marinade it in bi-carb soda for 30-40 minutes. Once you wash it off you can do a quick marinade with flavourings. But the bi-carb breaks down the chicken so it becomes super tender. Like the texture of chicken thighs. It’s what they do in Chinese cooking. I believe they call it “velveting”

[@tammifields4142]

Kristen your meals Always look Delicious!😋

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@sandragiardino2140]

I love all your dinners it always gives me inspiration.. so thank you 😊

[@sydneyrue1873]

For the cheeseburger pasta you can add onions when cooking or chopped pickles to garnish for more of a burger flavor !

[@MaegensKitchen]

That grilled chicken dinner looks delicious! And nothing beats a homegrown tomato, yum!

The tomatoes looked sooo good! Loved all the meals, especially the last one. Yum!

Yep! I make it sometimes too and it really is so good.

I’m going to try that spaghetti sauce! I hate store bought so I always get pizza sauce instead but this looked so good!! I prefer without meat but with mushrooms so you’re not alone!

[@robinweaver5865]

I have so many tomatoes and I never use them up before they go bad but now I’m going to try and make that sauce! I, always thought spaghetti sauce would be too hard to make so I never bothered and I was too lazy to look up recipes!

It’s really super easy and you can also freeze some in batches to use later! 🍝
