in this video I’m going into my condiments if you’re anything like me they tend to add up we’re going to make some delicious meals with the condiments that I have in my fridge so a few days ago I grabbed these chicken thighs from the freezer then I’m just going to put them in this bag and I grabbed this marinade from my fridge this was just I have like a half of this left this Teriyaki and so the nice thing about this is only takes 15 minutes so I’m just going to throw the chicken in here and pour the marinade on and then we’re going to grill it up and I just thought since we’re doing ter teraki my light’s broken in here so it’s a little dark I remembered that I have this Teriyaki Noodles and I think I’ll make these up and to get some veggies I’m just going to add in some I think I have some broccoli maybe not pees and carrots yeah I’m just going to add these pees and carrots to the noodle dish you know what else I want to add these baby corns because I love them and even though my kids don’t want to eat them I’ll just eat them all to grill your chicken thighs you just want to cook them over medium high heat for about 10 minutes and then we’re going to flip them just brought the water to a boil and then I added all of my add-ins in and we’re just going to still follow the package instructions cook it for about seven more minutes uh once it comes up to a boil and turn it to low it may take a little bit longer we’ll see and then once you flip those chicken thighs you just want to cook them for another 10 to 15 minutes until they’re cooked all the way through you want an internal temp of 165ยฐ you really want to check these and make sure that they are cooked to the Bone uh but good thing about chicken thighs like this is it’s almost impossible to overcook them because they are so Juicy and Delicious and on this particular day we decided to eat outside because the weather was so beautiful and so we had our uh teriyaki with the vegetables and then the teriyaki chicken and we put some hot honey on it that was the mamuko hot honey I’ll link that in my Amazon store it’s so delicious but the kids loved it and we had a great time I feel like when I’m looking at my condiments it’s inevitable that I find one of these like vinegret dressings cuz a lot of times my mother-in-law will will bring salad for an event and she’ll bring one of these over she usually brings like the parmesan garlic which is so good but we don’t use all of it you know um and this one I used for Greek salads and I barely touched it cuz the kids just eat ranch so I’m going to use my trusty uh little bag holder here and we’ve got some boneless skinless chicken thighs and then you just pour the dressing right in and marinate for a few hours if you want you could do overnight it doesn’t take very long I think I’ll put the other half of it it’s like so close hi Greek dressing I’ll put the other half of it on uh the vegetables I have some peppers and some mushrooms so in this case I just sliced up a red and a green pepper and some mushrooms and put them on skewers to grill as kebabs you could also use some onion in this or you could do whatever your favorite vegetables are to grill this time of year usually using uh zucchini is really good or summer squash even eggplant and then put those in a shallow dish and pour the remaining dressing right over the top and let those marinate truthfully I probably should have cut these up for first but I was just in a rush so I’m just going to cut them up now that I’ve already marinated them if you cut them up ahead of time they’re going to get a lot more coverage with the marinade so I don’t know that is better but we’re just it’s real life over here and this is what we’re doing now I always skewer my chicken and my vegetabl separate cuz sometimes they cook at different temperatures or speeds and I do not want to have to like Char the vegetables in order to make sure the chicken gets cooked and uh vice versa I don’t want to have overcooked chicken and then have um just like undercooked vegetables so you want to grill the chicken in veggies for about 5 minutes and then turn them and then you want to make sure that they cook until they’re fully cooked through that’s 165ยฐ this is going to kind of vary per Grill so just double check and make sure everything’s cooked all the way through and sometimes the vegetables cook at a different temp and that’s okay so you might want to pull them off before or after same thing with the chicken and life happens we ran out of pellets on the grill so I already kind of knew that might happen cuz we didn’t have a lot and I didn’t get any of the store oops so I preheated the oven to 350 and I’m just going to pop these in this is just like the leftover dressing from the vegetables so I just put it on top to give it a little more flavor and we’ll just bake this for probably like 10 or 15 to get everything finished [Music] up finally came out of the oven took a while but hey that’s that’s what happens and we’ve got our veggie skewers and our salad I was just saying on Instagram I’m like I seriously love a salad like kind of like a house salad you get like a steak house or even sometimes like an Italian restaurant just croutons Red Onion tomato cucumber I like this blue cheese dressing got it on clearance I think that is just like Heavenly so I started making it home it makes me very happy and then also I was saying I was like is it really dinner without the roll of paper towels on the table I don’t know if anyone else does this like comment below if you’re also you know let me know what you think about the salad and then also if you also leave paper towels on your dinner table because that’s how you clean up next up I’m going to be using this Italian dressing any Italian dressing will do we’re going to make a pasta salad so just cook up your favorite pasta for pasta salad or whatever you have in your cabinet it’s a great way to clean out your extra pasta put about a half a cup of the Italian dressing into the pasta followed by about a/ third a cup of mayonnaise and then whatever veggies you have around in this case I used some uh chopped Red Onion chopped Peppers chopped tomatoes and chopped cucumbers this is the perfect fridge cleanout kitchen sink pasta salad and the pasta does tend to kind of absorb some of the flavor so if you need to add more Italian dressing you feel like you need more flavor in there go ahead and do that if you want to add more mayonnaise because you like your pasta salad more mayonnaise also go ahead and do that and add more to it this is honestly one of my favorite flavors for pasta salad it is so simple you could even mess around with it and do like that Greek salad dressing or like a parmesan garlic and that’ll give it really good flavor too so just a perfect way to use things up and perfect for any summer barbecue or if you’re bringing something to a potluck you can just make something out of what you already have and you don’t have to spend any extra money and a recent video I also used up all this extra salsa making something also spectacular for potluck go ahead and check on this next video and you can watch what I made there h

Great use of what is n your fridge.
I live alone so takes me a long time to use up condiments. Yet, ๐, like everyone else during the pandemic I stocked up on various things.
For me , it was items such as : Toilet Tissue, Salad Dressings, Baking items [ I rarely bake ] ๐๐๐
Really helpful video! Iโm always struggling to use up those condiments. Great ideas! Very creative and impressive. Thank you!
I love you showed running out of gas. I think it's happened to all of us! On the pasta salad it's great with cut up cheese cubes and pepperoni. We really like the mini pepperoni in pasta salad.
Love your videos. Thank you for great ideas.
Love these simple videos that address such common problems, at least for my family! ๐ We sometimes will have a dozen or more dressing and condiment bottles in the fridge – half used of course – and no clue how to get rid of them. So thanks!
I also have an excess of condiments. Thank you for the video! The salads looked fabulous.
Here's what I make with Knorr Teriyaki Noodles:
1 package Knorr-Lipton Asian Sides Thai Sesame Noodles, Teriyaki Noodles, or Plus Veggies -Unfortunately, this mix is not vegan.
1 cup frozen peas
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced (or chopped green onion)
2 to 3 Tablespoons rice wine or cider vinegar
Prepare noodles according to package.
Stir in other ingredients.
Serve as-is or chilled.

Awesome video, thanks Maria ๐๐บ๐ธ๐๐
When my now adult son was a little boy he opened the refrigerator and took a look and said โMom! We donโt have any food. We only have stuff to put on food in case we ever get any!โ ๐คญ At that time it was hard for me to cook because I was self employed and busy beyond what I should have taken on. One time he called a restaurant on his own and put in an order and I heard him saying โEight. Yeah, Iโve got money!โ and sure enough they pulled up an hour later with his food. No grubhub etc. at the time.
I really wish there was a double like button or a gold star button that I can click for your videos! I am always running over with half used sauces and salad dressings! I love those double skewers! Thanks for sharing your awesome ideas with us! ๐
I just cleaned out my fridgeโUNFORTUNATELY MY SALAD DRESSING WERE EXPIRED & some condiments went ransit ๐ณ๐
really enjoyed this ๐
Thanks for always having great tips and recipes!
Great ideas! I tend to let condiments expire and my hubs says that they are probably still good for a month or two after expiry date, but I just don't trust that. And I throw them away. I like your idea of deciding to use them up and it saves so much money ! Thankks!
