 Hey guys welcome back to another week of what's for dinner. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. Our what's for dinner videos come out every single Tuesday and I hope everyone is doing well and staying inside. So this week what's for dinner we are using what's in our pantry fridge and freezer. Before the quarantine started I did a pretty big grocery haul plus I already had a lot of groceries and so I am not leaving the house to go to the grocery store for anything so we're just using what we have and so in our freezer we had some ribeye steak so Howard grilled some steaks for us today and so for the sides in my pantry I had this pasta roni which has white cheddar excuse me white cheddar and broccoli flavor and then in the freezer I had these microwavable green beans from Walmart so and this is what I cooked up and so here is the pasta on the plate and the green beans on the plate the steak wouldn't fit so that's why it's on a separate plate so this is what we are having for dinner tonight. Hey guys so for dinner tonight we are having leftover green beans and ribein casserole and leftover mashed potatoes and gravy from my roasted chicken dinner and what I have added to this meal are these breaded chicken patties so this is Howard's plate this is my plate and these are the chicken patties that I picked up from Aldi when I was preparing for us to stay in and so they actually look really good and we are both excited to try them out so this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time. Hey guys so it is pretty cool here for us today it's in the 50s and so Howard decided to make a crock pot full of soup it's really thick though it's kind of like a stew and so for the base of it he used a rotisserie chicken that I made the other day and then he added in some pinto beans from our pantry and this cock soup mix that he grew up eating in Jamaica he's from Jamaica but they do sell this at Kroger and other places so he used that as well and just some seasonings we had one red I'm sorry one potato in the freezer fridge excuse me that he used we have some Scotch bonnet peppers and he used those as well and then I felt like baking today so I made a couple of sweet potato pies my recipe makes two pies and so one is for Howard and one is for me I figured out over time that's the only fair way to do it because one of us who shall remain nameless eats more pie than the other so this ensures that we both get the same amount of pie and I think actually I know I used the last of our fresh produce to make those pies so we have no more fresh produce you can see where my priorities lie making desserts so anyway this is what we are having for dinner tonight a nice thick chicken soup and then some sweet potato pie for dessert see you guys next time hey guys so for dinner tonight we are having another entree from my pantry we are having this HEB Texas style rice and beans HEB is a grocery store that is a local to Texas and I've had this in my pantry and wanted to use it all you do is add sausage and so I had sausage in my freezer acreage acreage farms and so all you do it's pretty simple you just slice up your sausage pan fry it and get a nice and golden brown then you add the dinner packaging and then you just simmer it and a skillet and here it is has a really good flavor we've never had this before and I don't know if I mentioned this before but with the coronavirus going on what I'm trying to do is just use up stuff that we have in our pantry fridge and freezer so I'm trying out to go to the grocery store unless I absolutely have to and we have so much stuff in our fridge freezer and pantry that I think we're going to be good for a while so anyway this is what we are having for dinner tonight this Texas style rice and beans from HEB and we will see you guys next time hey guys so let me show you a meal that I whipped up from my pantry today so in my pantry I have this huge box of penne pasta I think I may have gotten this from the Dollar Tree a long time ago it's a huge box 24 ounces and so what I did was measure out two cups of dry pasta and cooked it up in my freezer I have a bunch of frozen shrimp so I took out about a pound of frozen shrimp cleaned it seasoned it up and what I did was saute the shrimp in olive oil garlic and a little bit of this pesto sauce that I also got from the Dollar Tree a while ago it's been in my pantry so I ended up using about a half a jar of this pesto and then after that I added in the penne and I added more more of the pesto sauce and stirred it up as you can see right here and then I also added some parmesan cheese that I had in my freezer and then we did not have any garlic bread so I made my own garlic bread the other week Howard grilled out some sausages and there were six sausages in the pack and of course the hot dog pack comes with eight buns so we had two buns left over that I stuck in my freezer and with it I made some garlic bread so I had this garlic spread in my freezer I'm sorry not my freezer my pantry I can't remember where I got it from but this is what I use after you open it you refrigerate it and so like I said this is what our garlic bread that we're having and for dessert I had these cookies in my freezer we tried them a while back ago I opened them then I put them back in the freezer and forgot about them and realized let me go ahead and make these cookies so they are baking in the oven right now otherwise I would show you what they look like so this is what we were having for dinner tonight we are having some basil pinae pasta garlic bread and for dessert we are having these white chip lemon cookies see you guys next time
