What to Eat When You Have Nothing to Cook | MY FAVORITE FAST FOOD MEALS

[@helenbmclean5100]

This is great. When I was a child, I recall my mum, crying because, she had nothing to cook for dinner and she had put the last of her housekeeping onto the electric key. My Grandma came over; she looked into the fridge and pulled out a piece of cheese, which she grated, along with an onion. She made some pastry, which she put into a flan dish and filled it with the cheese and onion. We had some baked beans and a few potatoes. She cooked the potatoes and than mashed them to put over the cheese and onion. We had this cheese, onion and potato flan, which was beautiful, along with baked beans. It was so good, that we asked if we could have it again! My Grandma, was a child during the war and knew how to prepare meals from virtually nothing. I still make it today and it is known as “Grandma’s dinner”.

This is a beautiful story ❤️❤️❤️ God bless

[@helenbmclean5100]

@@raiganmtz Thank you. My mummy is a little upset with me. I made it sound as if we were poor. Sorry mum. We weren’t poor but, like most young families, with a mortgage, money was tight. The story is true. My mum was always given her housekeeping on a Friday. It was bitterly cold, so she made the decision, to use the last of her housekeeping to keep us warm. But, my beautiful, oh so lovely, Grandma, saved the day. She was so very loved and it was to her that I dedicated this story.

[@raiganmtz]

@@helenbmclean5100 give your mom a big hug from me and tell we all go through tough times. She has nothing to be upset about. If we can learn from each other and help others that are going through them now, then I think it’s all worth it. Hugs 🤗

[@mamat1213]

I have a similar story... And the money isn't relevant as much as the ingenuity! My little one and I were visiting with my godmother and I apologized for not having many groceries but offered to order take out. She looked in the fridge, laughed, and made the MOST delicious meal with potatoes, onion, spinach, cheese and frozen shrimp! So delicious that we asked for it again

[@kylebell3139]

I loved the story thank you for sharing.

[@carmarasmussen8118]

I rewatched this video a few days and ago and when I had nothing to make for dinner tonight, remembered you making that quiche. I had leftover bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, half an onion and 3 small sweet potatoes in my fridge. Also a refrigerated crust which made making it super easy. When I told my hubby what was for dinner he said "Real men don't eat quiche" then proceeded to eat two big servings. 😏 Thanks for the idea, Lisa❣️

[@Pandorash8]

My late husband used to call it, “egg and bacon pie.” Maybe that’ll help your hubby lol! Great work. Your quiche sounded delicious.

[@shaunaferguson6102]

Hahaha! This is something my husband would say....I call it frittata, I know its a little different and still gets a nod but not as much as quiche 🤦🤣

[@chrissiewindsor]

You are indeed an inspiration. You reminded me of all the strange meals my husband f I made when I did my degree & my teaching certificate all in 4 years. Work wasn’t always in plenty for my husband, & weeks got hard sometimes. I remember us sharing the last teabag for two cups of weak tea. We did it, though, largely depending on eggs, cheese, bread & whatever veggies my Dad, retired from his lifetime job as a coal miner, went to the local market every day to see if anyone needed help. He’d bring us whole boxes of mushrooms, maybe a little tired looking, but great in soup, potatoes, carrots onions, Mum would sometimes hide a few pounds & a pack of really good coffee at the bottom of the bag. We never asked them for anything, never told them that we were struggling, but of course, parents know. We were very lucky, & I love watching your videos for the memories.

[@brib3967]

This is insanely inspiring. Why weren’t more people raised to cook for themselves this way? Old fashioned, wholesome food from scratch. How it should be. Not from a box. Thanks for the easy meal ideas! Very helpful

[@TheFunctionalForce]

Your dexterity in the kitchen is so admirable and satisfying to watch! 😍😍

[@zng3111]

Oh Lisa. I thought I was more or less through the season of my life where I envied people for their qualities that I lack, but I will never stop wanting to throw down such wholesome meals for my family with such ease! Thanks for taking the time to share your wonderful talent and passion

[@janicel4960]

This was such a fun video to watch. My children are grown, so it's been a long time since I had to cook for a group every night, but I remember those days. Pizza and German pancakes were staples for us when I had nothing planned. Nowadays I am cooking for just my husband and myself, but there are times when supplies are low and I just don't feel like a trip to the store, so I just whip a bunch of items together. My husband calls this "something from nothing" cooking and he happily eats whatever I set in front of him!

[@rachelg.2593]

This has to be one of my favorite videos that you've ever done! Love from Philly!

[@jtkilroy]

A real cooking video, real people cooking real food. Enjoyed.

[@debiabood1741]

I’m super late to the party! I just discovered you! I’m a 65 yo mom of three grown kids and grandmother of two and we recently adopted our baby from foster care. She just turned 2. You inspire me every single day. I am addicted to your videos now. 😂 when I think I can’t do one more thing or I’m too exhausted to get thru another day, I watch you and I’m good to go! Thank you!

[@dukesdogsakcbeagles2326]

Thank you Lisa! You are incredible!!

[@susiebrown7553]

I just made a quick and easy meal. I keep freeze dried or canned chicken in my pantry as well as rice and peppers. Take an onion, 2 peppers and simmer them in a skillet of butter and 1 cup of chicken stock. Boil 3 cups of rice that has been cleaned of its starch. Add chicken meat and a dash of cummin to fry pan and simmer for 10 mins. Drain rice and mix together. Arroz con pollo. Quick, easy and delicious! 😀

[@chrissiewindsor]

Aw, baby boy grating cheese touched my heart.

[@ivanahanus5101]

Great video. I remember as a child my parents would take me with them foraging for mushrooms and berries. My granny would take me to gather wood in the forest to have fire-wood for heating the water and cooking. We would make so many different recipes from the mushrooms, even dried them for winter storage to use in the soups. those were my best childhood memories. Now in my sixties, I am still frugal in the kitchen and use up every bit of food.

[@victoriacrain7146]

I love how you are so practical with the food. Touching it with your hands and not fussing. You might enjoy the Two Fat Ladies from the BBC in the 90’s. On KZbin.

Awesome Lisa I'm just in awe of your cooking

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you 😋

[@susansmith493]

Lovely video, Lisa. I make a frittata version of your quiche with onions, eggs, greens. No crust. Then I "fry" thin slices of homemade Italian bread in olive oil in a cast iron skillet. A slice of frittata on top of each olive oil toast. My Italian family loves this for breakfast with espresso.

For shredding cheese, I avoid shredding by hand by using a cheap item: a presto salad shooter. I use it for shredding carrots, beets, and cheese mostly. It also has attachments for slicing, but I don’t use it for that.

[@laurielyon1892]

I hated that I had to quit making sourdough. It messed up my sewer system with my old house. We do love having breakfast for supper. Sometimes we have what we call egg on toast like a poached egg. One other thing I can make any time because of things that I've canned is I put together the hamburger and onion I have canned over the summer and also take a pint jar of carrots and potatoes that I canned and then just add a can of tomato soup. All it will have to do is warm through. I love salmon patties and haven't fixed them in awhile. Going to get some more at Aldi today. We usually serve it with fried potatoes and onions.

[@mum2jka]

It is so true, making healthy meals are easy when you make sure you stock your pantry with staples, including root veggies which keep for months if stored correctly. There is no need to rely on convenience packets and premade frozen dinners or takeout, and the length of time to getting the food on the table is the same. I'd just like to say, Lisa, you have a lovely presenting voice. You don't shout at the camera thinking we can't hear you.
