hey buddy and welcome back to my kitchen today is another cooking series on if
you have a low budget and you can't go away how you can route in your freezer
and find out some food that you can eat today I was going through my freezers
and trying to figure out what am I going to make for a meal today
I came up with a really good meal that has a little bit of a 50s diner approach
I hope you stay tuned to find out what in the world am I making
going through my freezers I found a little bit of this and a little bit of
that and I'm putting it all together to have a meal that has a 50s diner
approach to it back in oh I don't know back in this summer they had these at
the Dollar Tree aren't they so cute and I think
presentation really means a lot when you're making a meal even though it's
nothing special sitting down at a meal together it's
something that you can make it special and I know if you're like me you're
having a little bit of a dreary cabin fever not being able to go away so you
have to be really hmm artistic and think outside the box and
that's what I did today so let's get started in our meal I think everybody's
like me and this time in our lives were really looking at our freezers and
looking what we have and we don't want to waste these potatoes are very ugly
and they're sprouting so I did peel these generally I don't like peeling
potatoes I like to keep the skins on because the skins is where you find the
nutrition today we're gonna make homemade french fries to go along with
our meal I looked in my freezer and I tried to find what could I make I have a
lot of canned food but sometimes you want to have like meals that doesn't
have to do with a jar and I'm very thankful for my key and ground beef and
my canned food but today I was looking in my freezers then I thought let's
clean out these freezer and let's get eating this food because summertime will
be coming and then I will be loading up the freezers with more vegetables I was
very fortunate I found two hamburgers oh they were way in the bottom of the
freezer and I'm really happy for them because hubby just loves he loves
hamburgers and he loves french fries and I am also using my new airfryer that I
just love and I'm so thankful I was given as a product review for it
so what I'm doing is I'm cutting these up kind of like Oh kind of like french
fries fresh cut ones I know I'm not quite like that but you can get the idea
I was really thankful you know the last time the food pantry was open they had a
lot of potatoes that they were going to and I just grabbed a whole bunch of
because everybody left and these potatoes were what we're left and so I
didn't want to waste them and now look at me I don't have anymore the food
pantry so I'm really thankful for this this really helps feed us and I tell you
so many times about how I store my potatoes and how that I can store them
for long periods of time and I also grow my own potatoes as well we always tend
to eat them first because they are so good
homegrown potatoes are so fresh compared to potatoes you buy in the store now I
am cutting a lot here and I don't think I'm gonna have room for all this so I'll
have it for two batches one for today and one for tomorrow all right I better
stop cutting these because I think I have way too many I'll show you how I
feel my little cylinder I don't know what you want to call it you know I
don't have the proper words for it but I'll show you what it comes with and it
works amazing to have in my airfryer I try more when I work with my cooking
videos to explain why I do the things that I do so many people ask me why am i
putting olive oil in my potatoes when I'm using the airfryer the whole point
of the airfryer is you don't have to use oil and that is true but olive oil in my
opinion is rather healthy for you and it also just helps your potatoes not have
that dried out taste it just gives it a better flavor here is my homemade here's
my homemade spices I have a video on it called mrs. dash and I will share that
at the end of this video and I just put some of this on it it's amazing it's
absolutely amazing I show you from the garden to the dehydrator and to the
spice jar I show you the whole way of what I do and so these are our potatoes
and adding some of these herbs oregano and thyme and rosemary just really gives
your potatoes that pop and that pop of flavor so this is what we use
and this is what it looks like and what it does is it turns and rotates your
french fries while it's baking now I feel this really fool because if we're
gonna run the air fryer we better run it that it you know it's efficient and so I
put a lot in here this air fryer is just absolutely amazing the two things that
are the best product reviews I've ever done was my bed I love our bed Oh hubby
and I just love it the bed and the air fryer those are the two this last air
fryer that I did if you missed that video I'm not gonna promote it again
because you know I do promote it often but I will share with you at the end of
this video and link to that video in case you're interested in it and looking
and seeing exactly what I'm talking about I really am NOT about selling
things so for me I really don't talk a whole lot about things that I do reviews
on but I am very thankful for it you know what let's see if we can just put
it all in here because it would be such a waste we're just gonna put them all in
there and see what what happens all right we're gonna close it up and I'll
go put it in the air fryer and now we'll work on the rest of our meal
so that gives me 20 minutes to make my burgers and to make my other food and
look at in my freezer I found some peppers we're gonna throw that in with
the burgers and also I found a couple heads of garlic that were frozen we're
gonna go ahead and we're gonna put them in smells amazing I absolutely have no
idea how long this garlic was in the freezer I'll pop it back in the freezer
what's left so I look what can I make what can I use some mushrooms that I
have canned there can't and Lipton onion soup mix amazing if you have a pressure
canner and you like to can mushrooms are great and probably one of the easiest
things you can can and then I found this now this is made from microwave I don't
like using a microwave for cooking so we're gonna go ahead and I'm just gonna
cook this the old-fashioned way we're gonna put it in with a little bit of
water in fact if I won't even need hardly any water because it's frozen
we're gonna cook the broccoli and then yes my homemade cheese this is so
versatile I'm so happy that I can this because you can use it for all kinds of
things and right now I can't go to the grocery store and I don't have any
cheese so I had just a little bit of water and I'll put a little in it and
then we're good to go so I'll check back with you in just a
few moments I've got a little bit of some onions fry well add a couple of
onions whoa oh it gets wide a lot of onions to that now it's started up
really good
add just a little bit of some steak sauce just a little bit just to give it
a little more liquid put the lid on it and we'll see you when it's all done my
broth me we're gonna add just a little bit but my home key and cheese to it
all right now let's plate up the food and let's see how it looks
would you eat at my restaurant puppy likes just the regular brown bread and I
like sourdough bread I should have made some homemade rolls but I was so busy
