Welcome back everyone to Katherine's
0:02
Plates. It's New Year's Eve and Thomas
0:04
and I went to our local grocery store
0:08
HB.
0:09
And the purpose was to do a reboot for
0:12
the new year because with the holidays,
0:16
with the wedding, and with everything
0:18
else,
0:19
we need to restart.
0:22
That's for sure. We spent $217
0:26
there to get it nice and fresh in our
0:29
refrigerator. I have lots of recipes
0:32
coming up. We still have Joseph and
0:34
Megan, our newlyweds, coming over
0:36
tomorrow. So, I'm going to be cooking
0:38
for them on New Year's Day. Now, I'm not
0:42
cooking today on New Year's Eve because
0:44
our tradition is Chinese food. So, we'll
0:48
be ordering some Chinese food to end the
0:51
year with and then we're going to start
0:52
New Year's Day fresh. All right. So,
0:56
we're going to go ahead and get started
0:57
and see how we did. We're going to start
1:00
in the fresh bag.
1:04
I've got some green onions because I am
1:06
going to make a what's that called?
1:10
What's that omelette called?
1:13
I'm going to make an egg foo.
1:15
And I want to have some fresh green
1:17
onions for it cuz that gets put in
1:19
there. So, we got those.
1:22
That will be a video for you guys. I'm
1:24
super excited about that one.
1:26
And then I got some mini seedless
1:30
cucumbers.
1:32
Yeah, like those.
1:36
And I picked up a head of broccoli. This
1:40
is going to be for tomorrow when we eat
1:43
with the kids. Joseph and Megan.
1:48
I'm gonna show you what we're gonna eat
1:49
with that. And then
1:52
I've been waiting for this all year, you
1:53
guys. These are pablanos.
1:58
And I got four of them in here. And
2:01
we're going to be making a wonderful
2:03
mild version of a pablano creamy soup.
2:05
It's going to have chicken in it, a nice
2:07
mild cheese, and the pablanos. It's
2:11
going to be good. If y'all are excited
2:13
about that one, let me know. I know I
2:15
am. So, we got four of them because
2:17
we're going to roast these to put into
2:19
the soup. You got to. It wakens up those
2:23
flavors.
2:24
All right. Next, we have avocados.
2:28
I have one that's ready to go for today
2:30
or tomorrow. And then we've got one a
2:33
little greener that'll hold off for
2:35
several days. So, we got those. Y'all,
2:40
last year was the first year that I've
2:42
ever started liking avocados,
2:45
and I love them now. Thomas got me on
2:47
them.
2:49
Love them.
2:51
All right, the next I got some lemon
2:53
juice.
2:55
Um, making a soup. Actually, I'm making
2:59
a chicken bolognese and it's got pasta
3:02
in it and ground chicken and we're going
3:04
to make a bolognese out of it. And it
3:06
calls for a little bit of lemon juice,
3:07
but I'm going to need that for other
3:09
recipes, too. And I don't like to have
3:11
lemons around sometimes because they go
3:13
bad if you don't use them right away.
3:16
And we got some Almond Breeze
3:20
unsweetened original milk.
3:24
That's for my cereal, which I'll show
3:26
you right here. What do y'all think of
3:28
this right here? Cheerios. Oat crunch
3:31
almond. eating a lot of almonds lately,
3:34
so gonna try it in the Cheerios. That
3:36
looks really good.
3:39
All right, we also got spaghetti.
3:44
Now, I asked Joseph what they wanted. I
3:46
gave them several options. Cabbage rolls
3:49
was one thing, spaghetti was another,
3:51
lasagna, and they chose spaghetti. She's
3:55
his wife, his new wife, Megan, does not
3:58
like cabbage. Oh my gosh. What are we
4:01
going to do? We're going to make
4:02
spaghetti, a meat sauce, broccoli,
4:06
garlic bread, and
4:08
whatever else happens to happen. But
4:11
anyway, so we're making spaghetti
4:12
tomorrow on New Year's Day. That's
4:15
totally fine. Totally fine with that.
4:17
All right. I got some orange Jell-O.
4:21
This is zero sugar. We're going to give
4:23
that a try. We are trying to limit our
4:26
sugar this coming year. That's why
4:29
Thomas got these. I'm just kidding.
4:32
This is a taste test for his channel,
4:35
Rational Reviewer. So, go check it out.
4:38
This is Raisin Cream Pies by Little
4:41
Debbie, and he's going to try those out
4:42
for you. There's another one around
4:44
here, too.
4:46
Let me see if I can find it. Ah, right
4:48
here. Ah, I found it. This one is peanut
4:53
butter cream pies. So, if you want to
4:55
know what these taste like, go check out
4:58
his channel. He'll be doing those in the
4:59
next couple of days. So, it'll be there.
5:03
All right,
5:04
I got those. Now, for the spaghetti
5:08
tomorrow, I was going to make a homemade
5:10
spaghetti sauce, but I found this. It's
5:12
a ragu, no sugar added, simply eight
5:16
ingredients. So, when I looked on the
5:18
back of it, it looked pretty good. It
5:19
has tomato puree, onions, olive,
5:24
olive oil, salt, garlic, basil, and
5:27
oregano. And that's it. Um,
5:32
the expiration is November of 2027.
5:36
So, have you ever tried this? Let us
5:38
know if you have. But we're going to try
5:40
that tomorrow with the spaghetti to make
5:42
the bolognese with
5:45
cuz usually we make our bolognese and
5:47
then we add sugar to it to counteract
5:50
the acidity for Thomas. But he's gotten
5:53
better with the acidity of stuff with
5:55
his diet change. So, we're going to see
5:57
if that's good right there.
6:01
All right, we picked up some orange
6:03
marmalade, sugar-free
6:07
for our toast.
6:09
I got some olives for my mock salad. I
6:13
call it a mock salad because it doesn't
6:15
have lettuce in it, but it's got spinach
6:18
in it, and I like that. And I got some
6:22
cherry tomatoes somewhere around here,
6:23
some cucumbers, and other things for the
6:25
salad. All right, we're having spaghetti
6:28
tomorrow. And y'all, I was raised on
6:31
applesauce.
6:33
And when I think of spaghetti and meat
6:34
sauce and garlic bread, and then aside,
6:36
the vegetable there, which is going to
6:38
be our broccoli,
6:40
I do applesauce. But I'm going to change
6:43
it. I'm doing the unsweetened
6:44
applesauce. And we'll be doing that.
6:46
Now, this is the HB brand.
6:49
All right. I'm going to clear this off
6:52
and then bring some more up here because
6:54
we got a long way to go.
6:57
All right,
7:00
we got the flavor bombs.
7:04
These are sweet tomatoes. They kind of
7:06
look like the cherry tomatoes. M yummy
7:10
little pops of goodness there.
7:13
Then I picked up some Parmesan Reo
7:16
grated cheese. That's for the spaghetti
7:19
tomorrow. I got it in this container
7:21
here because it's fresher than if you
7:24
get it in that container and it's
7:26
probably got a lot of preservatives and
7:27
additives in it. So, that's what we did
7:31
right there.
7:34
And then we got some kind of some lunch
7:36
meats have on hand. We got smoked
7:40
mosquite turkey breast. And then we've
7:42
got some Black Forest unccured ham.
7:49
All of this will keep us from going out
7:51
to eat, which we're trying to do this
7:53
year, keep it home. I got some whole
7:55
kernel corn to go into a soup that I'm
7:58
going to make and some whole green
8:00
beans.
8:02
And then Tom has got his sugar in the
8:05
raw for his coffee that he likes.
8:09
And then over here, I do like an English
8:12
muffin. And we found these. And we only
8:15
found them because when we were over at
8:16
my brother's house for Christmas, I saw
8:18
that he had these on the countertop and
8:19
I asked him how he liked them and he
8:21
said he loved the English muffins by
8:24
Dave's Killer Bread. And these are
8:27
rocking grains. So, I'm going to try
8:30
that
8:32
instead of the regular ones that I have
8:34
that are the white processed ones, which
8:37
we're trying to get away from all of
8:38
that.
8:40
And then I was looking for some tortilla
8:42
chips
8:44
and we found these. It's made with
8:46
avocado oil and they're corn tortilla
8:48
chips. They're the blue corn. Yeah.
8:53
So, we're going to try that.
8:57
I got some diced peppers. These are the
9:00
green ones and they got a little bit of
9:01
the colored ones in there. I like these
9:03
for my eggs in the morning with some
9:06
diced ham, which somewhere around here.
9:08
And also, I'm gonna use some of these
9:10
for our spaghetti tomorrow, so I don't
9:12
have to do a lot of work. We'll just use
9:14
some of those. And then we've got a
9:18
clove of a bulb of garlic right there.
9:24
And a whole thing of yellow onions to
9:28
get me going for the new year. We almost
9:31
totally wiped out of everything. We were
9:33
trying to get to the end of all of our
9:35
groceries and stuff in the house. So,
9:38
okay, let me clear this off and let's
9:40
start round three. All right.
9:45
We also noticed that PGO has a
9:49
traditional pasta sauce with no sugar
9:52
added. So, we were going to try that
9:54
also to see if we liked this versus the
9:56
Ragu eight simply ingredients. So, we'll
9:59
try those out.
10:01
And I got some mild diced tomatoes with
10:05
green chilies. This is the HB brand and
10:07
it's kind of like a Rotel.
10:10
That's for one of the soups I'm making.
10:14
And Thomas picked up some calami olives.
10:20
And then we got another can of corn.
10:24
I like that in my salad.
10:27
And then we have a bread. This is the uh
10:30
Sarah Lee delightful 45 calorie bread.
10:34
This is soft, smooth wheat, no sugar
10:38
added.
10:40
And we got some blueberries because I
10:42
promised y'all some blueberry biscuits.
10:46
And Thomas is ready for them. He's like,
10:48
"Where are they?" We just had so much
10:50
going on this holiday season with the
10:52
wedding and the holidays and everything
10:54
that
10:55
I don't think we quite got where we
10:57
wanted to
11:00
with our videos. So, they'll be falling
11:02
into the new year. All right, we got
11:05
some ground beef. This is the HB
11:08
grass-fed 100% and finished ground beef.
11:12
We like this right here. That's a really
11:14
good ground beef. We get it from HB.
11:18
And then we've got
11:21
the person bagged their stuff here. Got
11:23
everything in there. I got some smoked
11:26
chicken sausage with spinach and feta in
11:29
it. keeping it healthy. And this is HB
11:33
brand also.
11:35
They always have some good stuff there.
11:37
And then Thomas picked up, it's the same
11:41
HB. This is the natural smoked chicken
11:44
sausage apple gouda.
11:47
So that's what we got right there.
11:51
Always like to turn mine into a pasta
11:53
dish for you guys.
11:55
All right, here's the ham that I was
11:57
talking about. This is the Fricks diced
12:00
ham. We always like to have that on ham.
12:03
On ham. On hand.
12:07
It's good thing it's the end of the
12:08
year. Pop this in the freezer and then
12:10
we just pull out what we need for
12:12
breakfast for our omelets or if you need
12:15
it for a dish. This is good until the
12:17
end of January. So, that's good. We got
12:20
that.
12:22
And I am making y'all a a soup and it is
12:27
going to have some wild rice in it. I
12:30
really want to try the wild rice. So,
12:32
this is the HB brand of brown and wild
12:35
rice blend.
12:38
And it's a blend of long grain brown and
12:41
wild rice. So, I look forward to making
12:44
some soups with that.
12:48
And then I got some candy just to have
12:52
on hand. This is the special dark mildly
12:55
sweet chocolate with almonds. And then
12:58
we have a regular without almonds.
13:04
And
13:06
hiding these.
13:09
These are special dark chocolate Hershey
13:11
nuggets without the almonds. And then we
13:14
have them with the almonds. I've really
13:17
found that I really like the dark
13:19
chocolate and I tried to use that in
13:20
some videos when I was doing some sweets
13:24
for y'all. So,
13:26
found out that I really like those. All
13:28
right,
13:31
there's that. I picked up some more
13:34
broth for the soups cuz I still have
13:36
some, but I needed to add more to it.
13:39
So, we have this the unsalted chicken
13:42
broth and 50% less sodium in the beef
13:46
broth.
13:55
All right, I'm just going to start
13:56
bringing the other three bags over here
13:57
for you guys. We've got two packs of
14:02
ground chicken. One's for the egg fu
14:05
young that I'm going to make for you
14:07
guys. And then one is for the chicken
14:09
bolognese that I'm going to make for you
14:10
guys.
14:12
So that's going to be good. I just put
14:15
it back in the bag.
14:17
And then
14:20
we got cuz Thomas has been wanting this
14:22
stir fry and I've been putting it off
14:23
because we've had so many other things
14:25
during the holidays to do. So we're
14:26
going to be making his delicious stir
14:29
fry. And we've got this sirloin steak.
14:32
It's a center cut portion and there's
14:35
three of them.
14:37
All right. What else we got? We got some
14:38
good stuff here. All right. Lot of fresh
14:42
stuff in this bag. Anyway, we've got
14:45
some sweet potato cubes washed and ready
14:48
to go. So, I can just boil these up,
14:50
flavor them up. And then I got some mild
14:53
guacamole because I am loving guacamole
14:56
and the avocados this year. So,
14:58
hopefully in the new year I'll be loving
15:00
it even more. But I'm going to try their
15:02
brand right here. This is a AGB.
15:06
And
15:09
let's see what's in here. Avocado, mild
15:12
guacamole kit. Got Roma tomatoes, red
15:15
onions, cilantro, jalapeno pepper,
15:17
guacamole
15:19
seasoning with salt, black pepper, lime
15:22
juice. That's it. That's all that's in
15:24
there. We'll eat that.
15:27
And then I got some more hummus because
15:30
I'm finding I love hummus. And this is
15:33
everything bagel hummus. So, we'll try
15:35
that brand there. I do like the red
15:37
pepper hummus and also the olive hummus.
15:40
Those are really good. All right. Thomas
15:43
got some watermelon. So, he picked out
15:45
this right here. $7
15:48
and it is one pound and 66 ounces of
15:52
lots of juicy watermelon.
15:56
Mhm.
15:59
All right. All right.
16:03
And we're on to our last bag here. I got
16:07
strawberries.
16:10
We're not going to be able to leave our
16:11
house for like weeks. We're going to be
16:13
good to go.
16:15
And then Thomas picked out this right
16:17
here, which is mango habanero seasoned
16:20
chunk light tuna.
16:23
So, he's going to give that a try. see
16:25
what he thinks.
16:27
And
16:28
what is this? Oh,
16:33
we got some What are these? These are
16:35
the baby potato medley.
16:38
So, there's red, there's yellow, and
16:40
then there's purple in there. So,
16:42
that'll go good. This will go good with
16:45
a chicken dish.
16:47
I'd love to roast another chicken in the
16:49
crock pot. That was a really good recipe
16:52
and we really enjoyed that. makes a lot
16:54
of different dishes. And we also roasted
16:56
a turkey in the crock pot. It was a
16:58
turkey breast. And oh my gosh, we did it
17:01
again and it went just as much as that
17:04
other one did during Thanksgiving. So,
17:06
that's a good recipe. People love it.
17:09
And then I got these little mozzarella
17:11
cheese pearls. So, there's little cheese
17:14
balls of mozzarella.
17:17
They'll go good with those cherry
17:18
tomatoes that I had somewhere. All
17:21
right, you guys. Here's my haul.
17:25
Actually, here's Thomas and I's haul of
17:29

the refrigerator. We're going to clean
17:36
out the pantry and we're going to see
17:38
what we need to get through the next
17:40

17:48
I kid you not.
17:50
There we go.
