 My name is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food. In my household, there's me, my husband, and our adorable two-year-old little boy. On our channel, you'll find simple and tasty dinners using everyday ingredients. So Howard and I are trying out a Jamaican restaurant and he got the oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. And then I got stewed chicken and rice and peas and kalalu, trying out kalalu for the first time. And then Harrison, just playing his little game. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So we are having a freezer meal for dinner tonight. So in my freezer, I had this bulgogi beef fried rice from Trader Joe's. I tried it before a very long time ago and I wasn't crazy about it but decided to give it another chance. Let me flip it over on the back. So it gives you instructions on how to make it, microwave and pan fry. What I will tell you is that I would definitely do the pan fry method and I would add oil into the pan even though it doesn't say to. Add oil, spread it out, cook it over a high heat and let it kind of fry. And that's what I did. The first time I didn't do it, but the second time I did do it and it tastes a lot better and looks a lot better. So definitely don't necessarily follow those instructions. Also decided to make some stir-fried fresh broccoli and then some beef mandu dumplings. I've had these in the freezer for a while. They're from Costco and I used to buy them and make them all the time. And then I just kind of slowed down but here they are. We really like them a lot. It's a big bag and I normally get them when they are on sale at Costco and I just pan fried my dumplings. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So I'm trying out a new recipe for dinner tonight. I found it in an old community cookbook that my mom had given me a while back ago. So in my skillet, I sauteed some green onions, olive oil and garlic. To that I just added in some tomatoes, whole tomatoes, canned that I drained and then I chopped up. Added that to the skillet. Next I'm adding in some fresh basil and I'm going to add in a little salt as well. So I'll make sure of course to add this recipe to the description box. Just added in some salt. I'm going to give this a stir. The recipe says to let this simmer for just a couple of minutes and in the meantime I have cooked some angel hair pasta. A half a pound of angel hair pasta and drained it. I didn't rinse it. So once this has simmered for a couple of minutes I'm going to add in the angel hair pasta. This is going to be a nice light vegetarian summer meal. Now I'm just adding in my angel hair pasta and I'm going to give it a good toss. Okay so here's our dinner. It is very good. It's a nice light meal. Even though there's just a few ingredients it really has good flavor. I sprinkled just a little bit of shredded parmesan cheese on top and then we had some leftover broccoli in the fridge that needed to be used. So we're having that as a side. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So we are eating from our freezer tonight. I had these in my freezer for a while. These hillshire farm beef hotlinks and Howard grilled them for us. And then for a side we are having chips. So I am having these Frito Spoop Spicy Jalapeno chips and Howard is eating these Barbacoa chips that my mom gave us recently. It's just like a small bag. We picked up a package or a box of these different flavored chips from Sam's and so we already ate the others and this was left. So this is my plate. Here are the Fritos and they are spicy. If you like spicy you'll definitely like those chips. I think I found those chips a long time ago at Walmart. Here is my hotlink and I just have a little bit of mustard on mine and then this is Howard's. Here's the chips. A lot of chips came in that little bag. He has two hotlinks and then when he sits down he is going to add ketchup to his. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So I am trying out a new recipe for dinner tonight. It's called Creamy Ranch Beef and Pasta. This recipe actually came from Hidden Valley's website. So I am adding in my sour cream now. I've already cooked up one pound of lean ground beef and now I'm adding in some milk. The original instructions wanted me to mix up the sour cream, milk, and the Hidden Valley ranch seasoning in a separate bowl and then add it in but I didn't want to dirty up another bowl just for that. So I'm just going to do it in the skillet. I think it will be just fine. And there it is. So I'm just going to give this a good stir. Get everything all combined. And now I'm going to add in 12 ounces of egg noodles that I've already cooked and I salted the water pretty heavily and then I drained the noodles but I did not rinse them. Just going to add it in, give it a good stir and then let everything continue to warm up in the skillet. Okay so here's dinner. Let me give you my honest opinion. So I really think that 12 ounces of the egg noodles was too much. I probably could have done half a package because I feel like it's kind of dry and there's not a whole lot of flavor. Now the recipe doesn't call for any additional seasonings and I didn't add, well actually I'm sorry, I added in onion powder but I didn't add in any salt just because we're trying to watch our salt but it does need some salt or something. So I think if you were to add some salt maybe only add half of a package of the egg noodles it would be a lot better. I'm going to try it again another time and just make a few tweaks to it and then with it I'm just serving some canned green beans and I've mentioned before how many seasonings I have in my pantry so this is what I use to season the green beans. The first ingredient I think, here it is, is garlic and onion. So that's what the white stuff is on top of the green beans. It's the garlic and the dried onions. So anyway this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time.
