Recipe suggestion for the Spinach Artichoke Parmesan dip: I cut a small pocket into chicken breast, filled with dip, used a toothpick to secure, seasoned the breast and browned them in a skillet on both sides and finished in the oven until cooked through....it was a winner!

Haricots vert are a thin green bean. It is a French word. Yum.

Haricots vert is French for thin green beans, my favorite I love the thin green beans ❤️

For the steamer, you won't get the same results as an iron, but it does the job. 2 quick tips, Hang the clothes you need to steam on hangers, straight out of the wash and make sure you shake them out to minimise the wrinkles. When steaming, if theres a particularly difficult crease or fold hold the steamer on the spot to "soak" the area, then pull it tight, while it cools

Be very careful because dogs can't eat onion products and leeks are apart of that family try a cheap mix of peas corn and carrots and brown rice or instead of rice you could try risoni my pups love risoni

Steamers are great not only for clothes but for fabric couches and your mattresses helps keep odors down.

The spinach, Parmesan dip is very tasty!!! I eat it cold. But if you put it in a small casserole dish and bake it for awhile it might be good. I have made a warm home made version of it and it was good warm.

Thanks for sharing!! I love Costco hauls!

Yup ... mens razors are the way to go and they are typically a bit cheaper than ladies razors. I had the OXO stuff when I moved here 6 years ago, they lasted about 2 years but didn't seal well after that, I might give them a try again as it's just 2 of us now, so less hands on the containers. Lots of great stuff in your haul, thanks for sharing it with us Vanessa.

You gave me lots of ideas for trying some different things !

Now that’s a haul! Have a great week!

So love your hauls! ♡

We love the olive garden dressing with chicken breast in the instant pot. Then make some white rice and put the olive garden dressing you cook with chicken over the rice. Add a veggie...quick easy dinner. Yum

I always love your hauls!

The spinach artichoke dip with toasted naan bread is my favorite!

What a great informative video. I learned so much ab products at costco- thank u

What a good haul I have never seen the bubble fruit before. Looks like it would be fun. My daughter would likes those I think. Really got a lot of things.

I officially love Costco went at the beginning of the month for the first time and I’m addicted didn’t have to go to the local grocery once unless it was for fruit and veggies

I use vinegar in my laundry. I also pour it down my garbage disposal and in my toilet bowl. I love using vinegar to get rid of odors and I try to keep it on hand all the time.

The spinach artichoke dip is amazing in mushroom caps for an appetizer. Also sprinkle some breadcrumbs and Parmesan if I’m feeling extra fancy 😂

Awesome Costco haul.💗 I love pancakes too...but I indulge only once a month.

The OXO containers are my favorite. We have been slowly switching over to all of them.

Thank you so much for sharing. I have been using a steamer fo a few years and I like it very much. I have an extra shower ring on the rod in the bathroom and hang what I am going to steam there. It works out great for me. I have to say I do still use my iron for some things, ie heavy fabrics, but over all I love it and I find hanging from the shower rod allows access easily all around and it cools quickly when I am finished. I hope it works out for you. I will be looking forward to your next video until then please take care and God bless! PS I see everyone saying you should use distilled water in your steamer, I have been using my now for several years, not sure exact but more than five, and I use tap water. It is what was recommended by the manufacturer and it has been fine. I never leave water in it when I am not using it and I haven't had any problems. Just an FYI.

Hi Vanessa! Great haul and a good stock up! Haricot vert is fine green bean in French😊❤

Love your hauls

That bubble fruit is so cute!

Now that's a great haul Vanessa🛒👍🏻❤️

Vanessa, I am by myself and I always use real dishes. I just put them into some hot soapy water for about 15 minutes then put them in the dishwasher. I am with you on the ironing! I hate it! I still have my first iron from 1977 and it looks like new because I hardly ever use it. Glad to know I am not the only one.

The coke zero is my favorite. I buy it everytime at Costco.

It's always better to use distilled water in a steamer just something my grandma taught me

Viva is amazing, so durable and strong. Hard to find in bulk bags though!

That exact steamer is $55 at Walmart! I just bought it last week and then saw it at Costco for $29...back to Walmart it goes!

The Olive Garden dressing is very good. I use it on salads and to marinate chicken.

The Harvey corvette (misspelled) is a fancy word for green beans.

I love those razors, if I use the venus ones I get lots of cuts!

Hi friend, hericots vert are thin green beans. That's how you say it in French. It's pronounced "hair-co-var". You should actually add grain and veg to your homemade dog food. You're correct, dogs are carnivores, however, in the wild when they kill their prey, the very first thing they eat is the digestive tract of their kill, which contains...grains and vegetation. They've found they have found that dogs who eat grain free dog food are dying at high rates from heart problems. Please do some research into this. If nothing else, the grains/veg would not hurt. God bless

Hay Vanessa great haul I am hoping to get a Costco membership soon and wanted to know how you are liking the pots and pans you got?? I’m in need of a new set and yours looks really nice. Can you cook eggs and stuff without a lot of oil? Does rice stick? Can they go from stove to oven ?

Hi Vanessa, what do u do with the chicken for your dogs. Do u make there food. I have been wanting to make there food but I didn't know how. Or price is it more money. Can u let me know please

I've volunteered in a couple of charity shops that use steamers to get out the wrinkles from donated clothes. My recommendation is to put a few drops of your favourite essential oil in with the water. The clothes you steam will then have a subtle scent from the essential oils.

Can you do more instant pot recipes for beginners I got the pressure cook one love your videos

We use the spinach dip to make a chicken pasta dish. We cook a few boneless skinless chicken breast and chop them up. Add to a box of cooked pasta. Add some of the dip and some heavy cream or milk to thin it out some. Mix it all up and throw in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes to heat everything up.

My family loves the mini chicken tacos you got. My mom said they aren’t good out of the microwave. She said they are soggy when you heat them in the microwave. We cook them in the oven and love them! My kids love those fruit cups so I’m going to have to see if my Costco has them

The spinach dip would also be good added to an alfredo sauce

Vanessa, I remember you and Mark saying you were looking for some furniture for your living room. Have you looked at the sectional couches at Costco? They are really nice, it was suggested to me from another KZfaqrs. I found one I liked but it is currently out of stock and they deliver for an extra $50. Marriage and Motherhood was the KZfaq who suggested it. If you do a slow cooker meal in the IP you need a glass lid. You can get them at Amazon you don’t have one. Great haul, thanks for sharing.

Are you still doing the couponing apps like you did 3 years ago.

Those Annie’s cheese things are AMAZING.

That Carmel protein shake is great in your iced coffee too.

Hi,an a big belated happy birthday to bryce!!🥳🎂!!tfs,vanessa love you an your beautiful family!!♥️😊👍👍

What does the vinegar do in the laundry you put it in with the clothes right what does it do

The oak trees bloom next along with the Brazilian Pepper Trees. These two plus the Pine trees make me suffer so badly. I feel for you Girl.

Where in Oklahoma did you travel to? I live in Duncan, Oklahoma and I have family in San Antonio and other parts of Texas.

Haricot verts is green beans in French. Not sure why they added some French in there!

Great grocery haul.and more....

Make sure to use distilled water in your steamer.

Great Costco haul. We don't have a Costco next to us but we do have Sam's.

I love using Italian dressing with chicken and pork chops. I use any brand that's on sale. I have found, that when marinated chicken is cooked on a charcoal grill or firepit, tastes even better. The smoke and the marinade just merge in an odd but tasty way. I don't know why I notice a random thing. Hahaha. I hope you share the recipes with us! :-P

Great haul. I need to check out Costco

Are the XOX glass? I have three friends fighting breast cancer and all three tell me that their doctors tell them to stop using plastic food containers, water bottles etc. I've retired all my nice plastic containers.

I always buy the McCormack slow cook packets. Love them. Yes the Kirkland brand TP is very good. My daughter in love was a big Charmin user and now she orders on line this brand “ who give a crap”. It not bad. The Kirkland paper towels are great also. Going to have to try the chicken and cheese tacos love the one from Trader Joe’s.

I love the Enviro Kidz cereal! It’s gluten free which I need since I have Celiac. It’s really yummy cereal!

The spinach dip is delicious if you put it on chicken

Oh my god I hate ironing to! Please do a review on the stem iron!

I love those tacos! They are a bit spicy. I hope your kids like them.

We love Log Cabin syrup... that is such a great deal... I pay almost $3 for one!!! Ugh I live on the other side of SA so all the Costco’s are so far from me!!! We’ve been hoping they will put one on our side of 1604... no luck yet 🤷🏻‍♀️ don’t you wish we had an Aldi too!?😩😆

Those blackened chicken strips look very good

Great haul

Hi love your haul

I enjoy your videos.

Check Sam's club for the chicken breast too. Ours usually has chicken breast between $1.49-1.99 pound all the time👍❤

You find different items I like the tissue it makes different I like bubble fruit is really good

As soon as I saw the kolaches, I knew you were in Texas! 🤣😘🤣

Viva is very durable I love it but it’s also been very costly!

Sounds like a GreaT deal on that Log Cabin Syrup!

Haricot vert... thin French green beans :)

I tried the Kirkland toilet tissue once and not a fan. Gone back to Charmin.

Tip on how to save money on chicken for the dogs: buy whole chickens and just cut them in half and separate the wings and thighs and boil it all together. After boiling, reserve the boiling water, shred the chicken and remove ALL the bones (be very careful with this part). Put the shreded chicken back on the pot with the reserved water (it has lots of flavor) and bring it to a boil again, then add rice and veggies. In the end, you'll get a good mix of rice, chicken and vegetables to mix in with the dog food and its much more affordable than giving them only chicken breast. Plus, it lasts for about a week in the fridge, so you can "meal prep" it. Hope this helps! 😊

Our vet told me to use half as much veg as meat in their food so I measure 1/2 cup of chopped chicken or beef with 1/2 c either green beans, carrots, cauliflower or broccoli cooked and chopped up. They love the veggies. Our dogs don’t eat dry food, they don’t like it. So the fiber in the veggies is good for them. We love Bounty and Charmin and we buy them at Costco.i love that cooking spray and o haven’t been able to find it. I’ll have to look next time I’m there (if I watched this before I went today I would’ve looked today.)

Don't feel bad Vanessa. I also recently found out what are Haricots Vert is, from watching a cooking video. And just so you'll know it's pronounced àr-ē-kō-'ver. Love your videos!

I live in the UK and kirkland toilet rolls are so good and just as good as name brands.

Love my Instant Pot, but a heads up, the slow cooker function is not good, Best just to use your regular slow cooker

When I'm done with the ldry drying I hang my shirts right a way .

Let me know what you think about the slow cooker setting on the intent pot. In my experience it doesn't work well. It takes FOREVER.

Cute heart shaped food

On the Vinegar i heard that was suppose to be good for laundry...never have tried because i thought the clothes might smell like vinegar.... I know i had a quilter tell me to wash fabric in vinegar so it will set the colors. So when you was the quilt the colors will not bleed on each other....Never have tried this either. Was thinking about your Husband... If he likes White Vinegar this is a good dressing! Because the ones at the restaurant are red - it is like a wine or some kind of rasberry and my taste buds do not like red vinegar or whatever it is..... So take a splash of White Vinegar spray a big spray of any oil you have...add a sweetner of choice and salt & pepper to taste. Shake - stir - blend well so the oil & vinegar mixes together. Can add onion powder or garlic powder in this or both to taste...because White vinegar is tart and need get that tartness down....unles you love tart. I do put vinegar on my Spinach with Salt. Have not been told to give up SALT yet! Haha Then when i am finishing up Mayo Jar about 2 big tablespoons - whatever you want! add a big squirt of Yellow Mustard a little sweetner to taste add a Splash of water or Milk. Make this as thin as your want or thick as you want...put the Mayo lid on this and shake up. Pour over salad. This will thicken up after a few times using it...so i just add more water for MY taste and shake it again...So this is like Honey Mustard Dressing! Would put it in your cute JARS but i am out and i have my spices in them....i do put a cracker in the jar so it does not show and the spices do not clump up.... ENJOY! HuGs💗

Vanessa....I Love the OXO containers but they are costly....I found another Brand that are very comparable to them. I use the Better Homes and Garden containers that have the same type of sealing. I got a 10 piece set on Black Friday for $25 at Walmart....😊 There isn't a Costco in my area, wish they would come here though.....😃 There is a Sam's Club and BJ's is opening in March....their membership cost is kinda high, I don't know anything about BJs or if they are better then Sam's club.???? Great haul!!

GreaT idea on that Protein drink....Need to try this....Like you i love Cinnamon...but only difference my taste buds cannot taste it...so when i put more it turns out - ICK....so i have been drinking the flavored creamers-soo bad for you...but not so muc this year....I buy that Maxwell International Coffee - like the Cinnamon dulce and the Pumpkin Spice - the Chi or is it Chi tea coffee...but the cinnamon and pumpkin has not been available this year in my area - but amazon has it....Too expensive. But order the cheapest on like for $5.96 when it should be like $2.99....i need to get myself off of this because at 4 teaspoons full - for a good size mug because the taste buds cannot taste it....just too many carbs....SO i need to do something. Thanks for showing us!

Haricot Verts are also known as French beans

I think leaks are part of the onion family so I don’t think you should give your dog this mixture

I use tissues a lot to

I can’t believe how much more food is in the USA compared to the Uk where I’m from

The slow cooker function on the Instant Pot is terrible.....use your regular slow cooker

The green beans are pronounced hair coe vair)like hair) if I learned anything in French class 35 years ago

Yes paper plates in this house.

Some of those McCormick seasonings are very strong just a warning

THE VEGGIE U DIDNT KNOW IS GREEN BEANS. JUST FANCY NAME

❤️❤️❤️❤️

you have a nice pull

Dogs are technically Omnivorous BUT mainly need meat n milk in diet BUT thet need iron n vitamins, n fibre for proper digestion n immunity...

The Vegetables - YUMMY - Looks Good! - I am with you on buying this - but i really out of my price range....I want to pay $.79 to $.99 a bag a 1 pound or 16 ounce...because a CAN is on sale for $.49 to $.99 for 16 oz....I know there is no way WE can by broc in a CAN - so i get you...Hoping that was 5lbs-could not tell - seen price for $9.49 again just trying to HELP! 💗 SOoo doing the Math $9.49/5 lbs or 5 x 16 ounce = 80 ounces (the 16 oz is compared to the can weight)sooo $9.49 divided 5lbs = $1.89 a lb for frozen think maybe someone would have it cheaper...the last time i bought frozen broc. it was $.79 for 16 ozs. but usually it runs on sale $1.00 a bag for 16 ounces.

Your daughter is SMART!!! Of Course! DOggie i am a dog lover - but baby your dog food is getting up there in price! Haha I will not buy my meat at Walmart - why because it is at Walmart! I guess i am just weird! But i do buy bolo and budding meats there when the grocery store has nothing on sale....this is what hubby eats for lunch - not me! LOL I by the Bar S brand bolo there at Walmart when Oscar Myer is not on sale or not cheap enough. I see other stores are starting to carry that Bar S. ME i am not a bolo fan - but have tasted it that brand is good! Not this year but last Year i had to buy my Butterball Turkey's at Walmart because no one was putting them on SALE cheap enough for me....I do not want to pay over $.99 a pound - thought of Walmart because i knew they want people business - i was right paid $.99 a pound that year for the Butterballs..... THANKSGIVING is the only time to buy TURKEY's they are the cheapest then....do not buy them at Christmas - alway higher in price.... will continue.....
