Hey friends welcome back to my channel if you’re new here my name is Julie I am a homeschooling Mama 5 and I love to share large family food content here on my channel for you guys I like to share budget friendly meals meals that you can
Cook from home meals that you can cook once and eat twice and just ways to make food stretch farther ways to save money on food and just cook healthy food for your family but also not spend all day in the kitchen um and so for today’s
Food Style video I am going to take you along for the week and show you our week of dinner so I’ll just show you each night before we eat what our dinner is that night and any recipes I use I will put those down below if you want to try
Those meals out for your family for tonight’s dinner I cooked up so there’s just one sweet potato in there I wanted to use up as well as a few white potatoes so I got those mashed just butter milk salt and pepper mashed those and then in here actually you know what
Let’s go over here first we cooked up this roast in the instant pot so I’m just letting that sit for a few minutes before we slice it up and then after I took out the meat let me just get a little spoon here after I took the meat
Out I just scooped some of this some of these drippings out added flour and just made a nice gravy that will is it going to just fall in likely yes okay try to prop that up so that gravy will go over our potatoes and then over here I’m just
Waiting you know what those are probably done we will have veggies on the side so just a classic meat and potatoes maybe I’ll show you I feel like I’m just showing so many different things right now so maybe I’ll show you in a minute when I have it all pleated up up but
This is our our New Year’s Day dinner today happy Tuesday I made a beef stew for dinner tonight H it’s not thickening quite as much as I thought it would I it looks good it just looks a little bit more soupy than I think it usually
Does it’ll be really good though this is a a winter beef stew recipe this is always our go-to beef stew now and I did make a delicious looking Beauty sourdough bread loaf and so if there is extra sauce you know that’s that’s fine I’m going to
Slice this butter it and then we can dip that in our in our stew we are having guests over tonight otherwise I wouldn’t care at all but this is kind of bugging me that it’s thinner than usual we’ll just serve it in bowls and you know sop
It all up with that with that bread but I’m kicking myself thinking think I should have added just a little bit more veggies to all that broth tonight for dinner we are having taco salad so we really enjoy these blue corn chips and we just do this like assembly
Line style the kids can come and and grab their their plateful I am putting these taco shells out although honestly they used to like taco shells more now I feel like everybody prefers taco taco chips so I didn’t even I didn’t even open the box cuz I figured I
Don’t know if anyone’s going to want those um we just shredded some lettuce cheese tomatoes onions ground beef with I do a homemade taco seasoning which is delicious also onions and garlic in there um the reason we aren having the taco shells is because taco shells the
Kind that we actually like like the two kinds that are different flavors the reason um is it’s cuz they too much money and I like the normal kind you don’t like the normal kind okay so I used to buy like the cheesy and Ranch ones but these ones are a lot cheaper so
I’ve been buying these ones but apparently the kids only like the cheesy and Ranch flavors um but the very flavorful tasty taco meat and then in here what I do is I just mix it’s like half and half salsa and sour cream maybe a little bit more
Salsa than sour cream and so it’s just a a mixture and I really like that as a topping and there we go that’s our our Taco Taco Wednesday I guess it’s like 9:00 I’m in the middle of boiling some water to make myself a tea and
Remembered I forgot to show you guys our dinner tonight so I just pulled our leftovers out of the fridge I know super lame it’s not going to look near as good as it did a few hours ago but I cooked up a ham in the oven it was
Delicious so that is some of the ham that is left I put the ham Hawk into the freezer with a bunch of meat still on it too because I like to make a soup with the ham Hawk makes for a really nice flavorful soup and then I take the meat
Off so that will be for another meal but there’s the ham going into the fridge and then we had a garden salad lettuce a pitiful of amount is left but you better believe I’m not wasting this food you know we’ll eat this salad so it’s just lettuce tomatoes and cucumbers
We had some Italian dressing with that and then over here I made a big batch of rice in the instant pot I love how rice turns out when I cook it in the instant pot it turns out perfectly every time we just put butter and salt and pepper onto
That rice and you know what everybody loved it even the younger kids ate it really well and um I wish I had a better picture to show you of how it looked fresh on our plates but that was our dinner it is Friday night we are going
To have guests over for dinner shortly so I thought I’ll just film this quickly now uh before it kind of gets crazy so I’m going to put some foil on this it’s a lasagna casserole last time I made this I actually filmed a full day of
Food and I got comments saying try the oven ready lasagna noodles so that’s what’s in here um hopefully it was a good choice to try that for the first time when we have guests over but I think that’ll turn out really good um I’m just going to make a Caesar salad
Here for our veggies yes I made another sourdough loaf there’s today’s creation and then I also made this sour cream coffee cake for tonight’s dinner I am clearing some leftovers out of the fridge so you’ll remember earlier this week we had some leftover rice I had some leftover beef
In the fridge so I just have here rice beef onions garlic I have some black beans corn salsa sour cream taco seasoning it’s a really tasty just you know one dish meal and and so we’re just going to eat that that is dinner I also pulled this leftover salad out of the
Fridge and I’m going to have my rice on top of the lettuce everybody else will just eat it like this for tonight’s dinner I used up the rest of our ham from the other night and I made this creamy ham and potato soup there’s
Carrots and peas and I made like a a rue with uh butter and flour and milk I probably could let this cook a little bit longer and thicken more but it looks good as it is and we are ready to eat so I’m going to serve up that soup I also
Took out so this is the rest of the sourdough bread from a couple nights ago and then yesterday for breakfast I made these sourdough English muffins so I always try to have something on the side to go with soup not that we need more carbs per se but I
Always it just goes well right having some sort of bread with the soup so I’m trying to think if I should I’m probably going to toast these English muffins I maybe could have just stuck them in the oven just to make them nice and warm and the butter can melt on
Them but this is our soup this is our first time trying this recipe but it looks like it’ll be good well that concludes this week of dinner’s video I hope that that gave you some ideas some meal ideas for your family give this video a thumbs up so I know that you
