 Hi my name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. Welcome back to another week of What's for Dinner. In my household there's me, my husband, and our adorable two-year-old little boy. This week marks week three of our pantry challenge so I'll be sharing what I made for my family this week for dinner. Welcome to week three of the pantry fridge and freezer challenge. I'm trying out two new recipes for dinner today. So in my heavy pot I have one pound of pork sausage. The recipe actually called for Italian sausage but I didn't have any so I added garlic powder and fennel which is what I read you could add online to make your pork breakfast sausage taste like Italian sausage. I also have some fresh mushrooms excuse me and I have onion and garlic and I've just cooked them up. To that I've added some chicken broth. I'm going to add some tomatoes and these are just diced tomatoes just diced tomatoes and then I'm adding a big can of crushed tomatoes and I will make sure of course to leave both recipes in the description box. Next I'm going to add in some pepperoni and some Italian seasoning and then the recipe says to cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 or 30 minutes and then at the end of that simmer time it calls for you to add in some Parmesan cheese. So while the soup is cooking up let's get started on the cheesy breadsticks. Okay so on my cookie sheet I have a roll of the classic crust this is the pizza crust you don't want to use thin crust just the regular old classic crust and I have it spread out on parchment paper and then in my bowl I have some butter, garlic powder and Italian seasoning and I'm just going to spread this all over the crust. Next you're going to take your mozzarella cheese and just sprinkle it all over. Next it says to add Parmesan cheese and I couldn't tell from the recipe if it meant like the craft grated Parmesan cheese or you know like the the fresh stuff so I'm just adding the fresh stuff I'm just sprinkling it on top. Okay now I'm just going to pop this into my oven. It is preheated to 400 degrees and I'm going to bake this for about 20 minutes. Oh I forgot it says to cut your breadsticks before you put them in the oven. All right I'll be back. Okay so here is the pizza soup and it definitely tastes like pizza. I topped it with some mozzarella cheese and then here are the cheesy breadsticks and they are pretty tasty and so we're just going to be dunking these breadsticks in the pizza soup. So this is what we're having for dinner tonight and we'll see you at the next meal. So I am trying out a new recipe for dinner tonight. It's out of my old cookbook and here's a recipe savory chicken satay and here is what the picture looks like. So I've already prepped my chicken. I've pounded it out and cut it in strips and now I'm going to work on the sauce. So in my bowl I have some olive oil and brown sugar. I'm getting ready to add in a package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and here is what the box looks like and now I'm going to add in two tablespoons of peanut butter and I've never tried this out before. I don't know if I mentioned that or not. I think I did. I said a new recipe. So I'm just trying to stir the peanut butter up a little bit and this is the natural one. So it's got some oil in there and I'm just going to give this a good stir and so here's my chicken that I cut in strips. I need to drain the water out of there a little bit more and then here are the skewers that I'm going to be using. So you're supposed to soak the skewers so they don't burn when you're grilling. So I'm going to do that. So I'm just going to drain out this chicken, this water from this chicken and then pour the sauce on there. Now it's only about 11 o'clock in the morning or so here and the recipe says to let this marinate for 30 minutes. I'm going to let this marinate until you know till it's dinner time. So anyway I'll be back to show you what it looks like. Okay so here's the kebabs and here's our dinner. They do have a strong peanut butter taste you know just like Thai food does. So if you're not crazy about peanut butter I would definitely cut back on the peanut butter but I think they have a good flavor and I am serving the kebabs with some rice and naan. So here is the rice that I had in my pantry. I just cooked that up and then here is the naan. We had one piece left from Trader Joe's. I do have another package that I need to get through but it looks a little bland. I know I did not feel like making any vegetables tonight so anyway this is what we are having for dinner and I will see y'all next time. So I wanted to show you all what I made for breakfast this morning. This was in my cabinet of course and I actually picked this up this past Christmas at an after Christmas sale at Walmart Cinnamon Roll pancake and waffle mix and here it is on the plate serving it with some pre-cooked base bacon from Costco. So for dinner tonight we are having some breaded panko shrimp that I picked up from Costco. I actually forgot that it was in my freezer but here it is. I got it because a lot of people said it was really good and it really is. I made mine in the air fryer and it turned out crunchy and really tasty. I have gotten panko breaded shrimp from Costco Kroger their brand. I did not like it at all. This is really good lots of flavor serving it with some plain old matte craft macaroni and cheese and some green beans on the side. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So I am just throwing dinner together tonight and so I cooked up a box of this broccoli and cheese rice mix from Winco a grocery store. So I prepared it according to package directions. It is cooled off now and I have just got it kind of sitting to the side. With it I am going to add this chicken and broccoli and I have also got some onions in there. So chicken I had in my fridge and it is from Aldi. I just chopped it up a bit. I used half a head of fresh broccoli and I have also got some chopped onions in there as well. Sauteing it in clarified butter and I also used some of this seasoning as well. So what I am going to do is combine the chicken and broccoli and the rice mix. I am going to add some cream of onion soup to it and then in my freezer I just had random cheese. So I have got just a little bit of this spicy Mexican blend and then I have these two cheeses cheddar and then this might be Monterey Jack or I am not sure what it is. But I am going to put half of the cheese in the mixture and then the other half on top. I am just going to bake it. So quick and easy meal tonight. I will show you what it looks like as soon as it comes out of the oven. Okay so here is our dinner. I ended up adding some french fried onions on top before I popped it in the oven and I tasted it. It is pretty good. The rice by itself I did not like so I am glad that I was able to repurpose this into a casserole serving it with a mini croissant from Trader Joe's. I have shown these before on our channel. We really like them a lot. It says mini muffin but they are actually pretty big. They are about the size of my hands. So I do let mine thaw out. It is not required. You can bake them from frozen but they taste 100% better to me when you let them thaw out. So anyway this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see you all next time. So I am prepping our dinner for tonight. I am going to use this cooking sauce from H.E.B. Beef Stew that I am going to be making mine as a roast. So here is my crock pot. And at the very bottom of the crock pot I have a few of these pearl onions. I used these onions last week when I made salsberry steak meatballs. So they are in the bottom. Also in the bottom I have some shallots that I had in my fridge that I had forgotten about. About 3 shallots that I chopped up. There is one. And then I also have some fresh mushrooms and a couple of potatoes, probably medium sized potatoes. I seasoned the meat with this and then what else? So I have never used this before. I normally make Mississippi Pot Roast but tells you how to make it and I am not going to add the beef broth. I usually never add, well not usually. I never add liquid to my roast. I just use the juice from the meat. To me it renders enough of the broth or liquid. So that is it. I am just going to pour this sauce on and then let it go low and slow for 8 to 10 hours. Okay so here is our dinner. I let this roast cook for about 10 and a half hours, serving it over some rice and with a yeast roll. These are some yeast rolls I had in my freezer from Kroger and they are actually pretty good. They are not sweet. I will say I do enjoy a sweet yeast roll. They are slightly sweet, not a lot. And then this is the roast, the rest of the roast in the crock pot. If you will remember I did not add any liquid to this. It called for two cups of chicken, not chicken broth, beef broth or water. I cannot remember which. But it makes a ton of its own liquid. That is Harrison. He is playing. There he is. So anyway this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time.
