 Hey guys, welcome back to another week of what's for dinner. My name is Andrea with food and entry adventures in food in My household. There's me my husband and our adorable one-year-old little boy Welcome back to week three of the pantry freezer challenge I hope everyone is doing well, and it hasn't been too painful for you guys I am starting out this week with a new recipe. Of course, I had everything on hand. I am making Mongolian Beef in the crock pot and I'll make sure to leave the recipe in the description box So so far all I've got in my crock pot are water, olive oil, some Shredded carrots. I'm adding some garlic I'm adding way more than the recipe calls for because you can never have too much garlic or too much cheese and then I am adding in my brown sugar and I'm adding in some soy sauce and I love Mongolian beef. I'm just gonna give this a stir And I've already prepared my blank steak So I have Almost two pounds of flank steak in here I don't know if you can see there's a little bit of a glare I've almost two pounds of flank steak that I thinly sliced and then in a Ziploc bag I just added some Cornstarch and then I coated it and so now I'm just going to drop this beef in the crock pot And it says you can cook this on high or low. You can cook it on high for I think two hours two to three hours or low for four to five hours and I'm a low Crop pop cooker. I prefer to cook things on low. I just do so I'm just gonna give this a stir And I'm probably gonna why no I'm gonna serve this with some steamed rice probably some green beans I'm not quite sure yet And I will bring you guys back of course to show you how everything turned out So here is the crock pot Mongolian beef how did I tried it? It is actually good There are a few tweaks that I would make make to make to it next time I make it So this recipe calls for water and normally when I'm making a recipe I don't put water in the crock pot at all So I probably would leave it out I think it watered it down just a little bit I would probably play with some of the spices and seasonings to add some more to it But it's definitely a good base a good starter recipe and I'm serving it over some Steamed jasmine rice and some green onions. We're also having green beans with it. The green beans are from Aldi When I bought these green beans, I bought two so I already made one This is the last one in the freezer that we're using up not a big fan of it at all. These are Microwavable green beans you're supposed to steam them But I actually made mine on the stove top with a little bit of olive oil added in some garlic salt with it and then we are also having these chicken spring rolls from Trader Joe's as Long as I have been shopping at Trader Joe's. I don't think I've ever had their spring rolls So we're gonna try these out tonight and here is what the meat looks like in the crock pot It's very I mean, there's a lot of there's a lot of fat on this flank steak So there's a lot of grease in here as well So when it solidifies overnight, I'll take that that grease off, but this is what it looks like like I said It's a good starter, but it just needs a few tweaks So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, we are having roasted chicken and so this is what I used to season the chicken I've been using this for years. I love this stuff. It's freeze dried herbs and there's actually no salt in here and then The other seasoning that I used is this Lowry's chicken and poultry seasoning and rub. I love this stuff And again, here is the chicken on our plate I also used a couple of cans of green beans from all the season them with some onion season salt and I think that's about it My husband loves stovetop and we had a ton of stovetop. Well, not a ton. We had we have two more boxes So I decided to make him some stovetop. I don't care for it But I figured it'd be perfect with the chicken tonight and then from our freezer I am using these scalapini potatoes from Trader Joe's that are brought bought a while back ago and I tasted it It's okay. It's definitely not something that I feel like I would need to Make again and that is of course Harrison in the background. So this is my plate And this is Howard's plate and this is what we are having for dinner tonight Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, we are having spaghetti with meat sauce I had the meat sauce in my freezer from when I made a big batch earlier And uh, we are finishing up the spaghetti noodles that I had in the pantry as well For dessert, we are having this pound cake from Aldi And I think I have bought and made the lemon pound cake before But this is just their regular pound cake and it's actually pretty good. So I've got uh, I've got it right here Just wanted to show it to you guys. It's very tender has a very soft crumb and it's pretty good So I would definitely buy it again So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, we are having some beer battered cod fillets that I picked up from all the a while back These were in my freezer and I just cooked them in the air fryer And then we are also having some pasta roni that I had in my pantry So I made that and then we had some leftover green beans from the roasted chicken that I made the other night That was in the freezer as well And so here it is on the plate and I just wanted to mention to you guys that frugal mama in the woods She is another youtuber.
