 Hi, my name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. In my household, there's me, my husband, and our adorable three-year-old little boy. On our channel, you'll find simple and tasty recipes using everyday ingredients. Hey guys, welcome to the eighth and final week of the Pantry and Freezer Challenge. I really appreciate everyone who has been hanging in there with me while I have worked my way through my Pantry and Freezer. Let me show you what I'm making for dinner today. I had some fresh broccoli from my weekly produce pick-up, so I'm going to stir-fry that. And for Christmas, my parents sent Howard and I some Omaha steaks. But we got steaks and pork and all sorts of things. So we are making these filets tonight. They are bacon-wrapped filets. Howard's going to throw them on the grill. He's going to use this seasoning, which is what came with the box. Also during my weekly produce pick-up, I found these mushrooms on clearance. I'm going to wash them up and slice them and add them to this prepared rice pilaf mix. I may add some shredded carrots in there as well, I'm not sure. But anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight and I will be back in a second. Okay, so here is our dinner and these steaks smell so good. For the rice pilaf, I just decided to add some green onions and mushrooms. I decided against the carrots and then again, I just stir-fried some broccoli. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see you all next time. So for dinner tonight, I am making quesadillas. I had this beef fajita meat in my freezer. As you can see, I got it on sale a long time ago from Tom Thumb. So it was half off of that $5.49. And I always have flour tortillas because Howard likes to use them. And then I've got some cheddar cheese that I grated for another meal. It's leftover. Got some sour cream and some salsa. So let's get started. Okay, so here are my super easy quesadillas. I am serving it with some black beans, rice, and this is Howard's plate. So he's got some avocado on there. When we get to the table, we're going to add our salsa and sour cream. I seasoned the, these are canned beans, by the way, canned black beans. And I seasoned them with this ham bouillon. I used two cans of black beans. I put probably like a quarter cup of water. And then I also used this garlic and herb salt-free seasoning. This ham bouillon is really good. I know some people don't eat pork, but maybe they like the flavor of ham. Just an FYI, there is real ham in here. So there's ham, fat, and I think there's some actual ham in there as well. But anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight. And we will see y'all next time. So for dinner tonight, eating from our freezer, we are having this chicken chow mein that I bought a long time ago, along with these Taiwanese green onion pancakes, also from Trader Joe's that I bought a long time ago. I've not tried them yet. Trader Joe's has another type of pancake. I can't remember. Maybe green onion, maybe scallion or something. I don't remember. So I've tried that one, but never this one. This one I heard is really, really good. Of course, that is Harrison in the background. But normally when I make this chicken chow mein, I usually add some fresh broccoli to kind of bulk it up a little bit. Didn't have any of that, so I used about a quarter of a head of cabbage. I had to cut it in thin strips. I've got some oil in the bottom of the pan, and then I added some garlic salt to it. So I am going to use cabbage to bulk up the chow mein this time around. So I'll be back. So the lo mein is finished, and I'm getting ready to start on these pancakes. And I just opened them and wanted to show you all what they look like because I was not expecting that. This is what they look like. So oops, a lot of calories in here. I think there's like 350 calories, and the box says you can eat them alone or as a meal. So I don't know if these are going to puff up or not, but we'll see. But I just wanted to show you all what it looks like when you open the little package. Okay, so here is dinner all plated up. Howard and I tasted the green onion pancake. It's good. We both can't put our finger on the texture. It's not quite like or tortilla. It's also kind of like naan a little bit, but not really. It's hard to describe, but I do like it. It's kind of dense. Let me show you. It's flat, but it's dense if that makes any sense. You can see the little layers in there, but it's pretty good. It's not bad at all. So anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. So for dinner tonight, I made a big salad. There is tons of stuff in there. There is ham and chicken and bacon and shredded carrots, cheese, Swiss and cheddar cheese. And this is my bowl showing it to you because I added some of the crispy wontons on there. I really like them a lot. And so I am going to be using this Asian salad dressing. I always forget that I have it in the fridge. And then Howard's going to be using some Olive Garden. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. So for dinner tonight, we are having smothered ribs. I made these, I don't know, maybe a couple of months ago, and Howard and I really liked them a lot. The first time I made them, I baked them in the oven, and they were absolutely delicious. This time I tried them in the crock pot, and they are not as good as they were in the oven. The gravy doesn't get as thick, and it's just not the same. It doesn't get that same browning on it. So next time I make these ribs, I will definitely bake them. But I am serving the ribs with some rice and also some fried cabbage. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time.
