 Hey guys welcome back to another week of what's for dinner. My name is Andrea with food inventory adventures in food Our what's for dinner videos come out every single Tuesday. I typically cook five to six dinners per week It's just my husband and I eating and so just depends on how many leftovers we have but we are kicking off another week of what's for dinner by Continuing to eat stuff in our freezer in pantry. So this is one of the items that I had in my pantry It is Annie's one pot pasta. You just add half a pound of chicken And I got this on Kroger and it was as you can see on clearance for 75 cents And it was originally 3.99 and I thought maybe they were going to discontinue this product But they actually still have it on the shelves So it is white cheddar broccoli mac and cheese and they were supposed to be a fourth of a cup of broccoli in each serving So here is what it looks like It actually has a pretty good flavor now I don't know how there is a fourth of a cup of broccoli in here It doesn't look like it at all But that's what they say and then we're also just having some green beans the green beans again came from my pantry and they are From Aldi I picked up two cans because I played on using Making some green beans maybe tomorrow or some other time this week I'll just have the leftovers in the fridge and then for dessert I made these butter pecan cupcakes and here is the mix that I used this was in my pantry as well I needed to use it. It makes 12 cupcakes, but if you've been following our channel for a while I typically make jumbo cupcakes. So when a recipe Calls for 12 cupcakes. I just rather have six. It's just easier. I guess more manageable to eat six cupcakes rather than 12 So here they are in the cake Platter, this is what they look like and here's one that I cut open That you guys can see Howard and I tasted the cupcakes and we both thought it was pretty good It's a very light cupcake But Howard said the taste of butter pecan is very very mild and I would have to agree and and then for the icing I just used some regular vanilla icing But anyway, 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 grilled chicken thighs Howard grilled out for us today So right here. We have lemon pepper Chicken thighs and this is a seasoning that we used and then right over here. We've got some Jerk thighs and sorry, let me reach over here. This is a seasoning that we use This is Howard's favorite seasoning and every time he makes jerk. This is what he uses So you can find this at I found this at Kroger I found it at where else I found it at Walmart, too So this is what he likes and I made some baked beans. I used bushes But I always doctor at my baked beans. So I fried up some bacon. So that's in there In the bacon fat. I fried up some bell peppers top bell peppers added brown sugar I also added some spicy barbecue sauce as well. And this is what I use. It's empty now So use that and then what else? Oh, we've got some macaroni and cheese now I love baked macaroni and cheese croquette macaroni and cheese. I actually have a recipe On our channel about that. But when I want a quick baked macaroni and cheese I use just a box macaroni and cheese and then I doctor it up so I prepared according to package directions and then I add in about a third of a cup of sour cream and then I add in Additional cheddar cheese. I stir it up. I put it in a pan and then I top it with additional cheese and For some reason the sour cream and the extra cheese really changes the texture and it's really good so that's just my quick tip if you want a quick macaroni and cheese and Then lastly I made some potato salad. I don't make it very often Because Howard doesn't care for it very much, but I love baked beans and potato salad together for some reason I just love that combo. So anyway, 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 bowtie pasta with broccoli Rob I made this recipe for the first time last week and Howard liked it so much. He requested it again So this is what we are having for dinner tonight Oh, what I'll do is I will post a link to that dinner video because that's where I have the recipe posted So I'll post it in the cards above and then also in the description box But this is what we're having for dinner tonight, and we'll see you guys next time Hey guys, so we are not having a fancy meal tonight at all. I am trying to clear out some stuff in my freezer So we are having french fries shrimp and hush puppies So for the french fries, I had a handful of fries in my freezer And that's why you see them on the plate and I also had a new package of steak fries that I needed to open Excuse me need to use. These are from Aldi and these are from Walmart. We're also having the shrimp and A while back ago Kroger had a buy one get one free on their butterfly shrimp So I have one Or I had one package of the shrimp in my inside freezer and I have another package outside I started making these then I stopped because Howard said he doesn't like crunchy shrimp, but We've got to use it. I mean it's been there and so we just need to use it So I finally finished off the package that was inside the house and now we're gonna start or next We're gonna start working on the shrimp that's in the freezer And then I also have these hush puppies in my freezer as well Just open those for the very first time pretty sure I got them from Kroger and they're actually not bad Howard's not a big hush puppy person, but I am So I did cut one open so that you guys could see it. There it is I just baked it you can see the onion in there and it's really not bad for a frozen hush puppy I actually baked everything today on one big cookie sheet So I put all the fries the shrimp and the hush puppies on one cookie sheet and I just baked everything so So anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight trying to clear some stuff out of our freezer And we'll see you guys next time Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, we are having meat sauce with pasta and some garlic bread that I made for in the air fryer That was my first time doing that and it turned out pretty good It may be a little bit dark and I cooked it for about I think it was about eight minutes So that may have been a smidge too long But in my meat sauce, I have ground beef and Italian sausage for the pasta sauce I used I used this this was in my pantry and then I like a chunky sauce So I added in a can of all the diced tomatoes and Kroger diced tomatoes and of course I've seasoned it up as well This is the pasta that I used This was in the pantry It's something that I got from all day a while ago now typically when I make a meat sauce I do like spaghetti with its spaghetti noodles But I had all these bags of pasta in my pantry that I needed to use because I keep going back to spaghetti and Pettuccini and I really needed to use this stuff up So that's why we are having it over the rigatoni and we are having a side salad of This dull chopped bacon Caesar Kit really easy to put together lettuce cheese Caesar dressing bacon crumbles and garlic croutons And I just picked this up from a recent Kroger haul and I'll link it in the cards Cards above and then also in the description box if you want to see what I picked up during that haul For dessert, I decided to make this Aldi pound cake I picked this up on a recent Aldi haul as well And I'll make sure to link that in the description box and also in the cards above because I picked up some seasonal items from there That you might be interested in picking up so really easy to make this pound cake here It is on the platter has a very fine crumb. Here's a piece that I cut on the plate and in order to make this Cake all you need is water melted butter and two eggs, and I've never made a cake before with melted butter Softened butter. Yes melted butter. No, it turned out. Well, I wasn't sure what to expect and if it would change the texture But it's really good has a very fine crumb. You bake it on 350 for Where's the time I just thought oh 50 to 55 minutes and I was using a non-stick pan So I baked mine at 325 and I ended up baking it for 53 minutes and this is how it turned out So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we'll see you guys next time Hey guys, so I tried a new recipe tonight. It is called cheeseburger soup And I found it because I was trying to figure out a way to use up this cream of bacon soup that I had in my pantry I think the only reason I bought it was because it was on the shelf and I'd never seen it before So I bought it a while ago and stuck it in the pantry and wanted to use it and I also had a can of cheddar cheese soup as well and Cheddar cheese soup is not something I normally buy. I'm sure I bought it for a recipe and now I don't remember what it was originally for but I use those two cans to make the Cheeseburger soup and it was it's it's I tasted it. It's really good and it's really easy to make so all I did was brown some ground beef and Medium onion sauteed that drained it and then I added in the The soups over here and then I added in two cups of milk some seasoning and then I added in some fully cooked Bacon chopped and some cheddar cheese and here it is. I just garnished it with more bacon and more cheddar cheese So I'll make sure to link the recipe in the description box But this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time
