After many years homemaking and homesteading, my best advice came from my niece. She said she had to simplify her meals and I decided to give it a try as I have a small farm and homeschool and it was a gamechanger for me! My family raves about my simplified meals as I use more quality ingredients, most of which we raise or grow ourselves or purchase from local farmers and it all takes less time!

I cook a lot for elderly people. These are great ideas! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family

A meatball (or burger or meatloaf) tip that changed the game for me was to season it, pluck off a little blob of it, cook it in a pan and taste it for seasoning. More often than not I add more salt or flavor of some kind after doing that.

Lisa I love watching you cook because I love to cook as well. Your first recipe is so adaptable. I eliminate a pan by coating the chicken with cornstarch before popping them into the pan and then add all the juices, soy sauce garlic into the pan with the chicken. I modify it to whatever I happen to have so I have a lemon chicken/orange chicken, I do a coconut lime with a little honey, a honey garlic chicken (honey, garlic, soy sauce and cooking sherry) and a lemon, white wine, garlic, cream, Italian herbs over pasta … I get so many good ideas from you! Thank you!😊 ❤

“I feel like making a thyme joke about 30 minute meals” that is 💯 something I would have said

I'm trying the meatballs with mushroom gravy tomorrow. I loved it when she said to cut the veggies up smaller, they will never notice. 😄

My daughter never ate zucchini, even if I put it in meatloaf or something. But recently I have been filling zucchini halves with seasoned burger meat, top with cheese and call it cheeseburger stuffed zucchini and she eats it. Some fries with it (both go in the oven) and it's a quick meal and still healthy despite it sounding like fast food.

my family always asks me "what's in it" and I tell them just eat it because if I tell ya, you won't eat it 🤣 they get scared then but eat it all up anyways. If they really want to know, I'll tell them after they've eaten it. I usually don't let them in the kitchen when I try to hide something in it, lol. Fabulous ideas!!! I cook the same as you do, always wonderful, simple, and tasty!

Good afternoon Lisa. Looks delicious. There's nothing better than healthy fast food cooked from scratch at home.

I use beef bone gelatin to thicken sauces and smoothies…it is so good….and gives more nutrition.

The orange chicken looks delicious. Your choice of music is very pleasant 💜
I’m a great grandmother now and watching you and your family makes me wish I could go back and do it all again. Thank you for sharing.

I am making the orange chicken tonight for supper. Not quite ready for the summer free for all to end but I agree you can feel it coming
