Everything looked so good. I agree totally about carrots being underrated. I don’t buy those so-called baby carrots because they feel slimy after a few days. I buy the two pound bags and we love to chop them into chunks and roast them. They are so delicious that way. We also love munching on carrot sticks. Great ideas and they made me hungry 😊
Yes! You’re absolutely right! I really dislike baby carrots for the same reason. They just don’t last and get slimy.
And thank you so much! ☺️
Those "baby carrots" are actually pared down whole carrots. I agree they don't hold up. I use a lot of carrots in many different ways. Economical and tasty.
I just love you. You continue to show us simple, frugal but tasty food. Thanks so much! Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Oh my goodness, thank you so much ☺️ I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recipes!
Your channel just popped up today...so I thought I would watch it...those taco bowls wow just wow...I will definitely try them on my two I think they will be impressed LOL...and thank you for the hint on the capsicums (here in Australia we call your "peppers" capsicums) ...in our horrid summers - as I don't have air-conditioning in the kitchen, I find my vegies wilt and rot within a couple of days so I tediously cut up every veg and pop in freezer...but doing it as a whole is on another level...certainly will try this thanks
I hope you love the taco bowls! And yes!! I’m always looking for ways to easily preserve things so they don’t go bad because I have similar issues here in California. When I discovered that I could throw peppers and tomatoes whole, right into the freezer, I was ecstatic!! It’s been a game changer for me and I can’t wait to hear how it works for you! 😄
Hi Laura, I only discovered your channel yesterday. I’m loving your videos, and thank you so much for your generosity in sharing recipes. You’ve really inspired me to do some extreme budget weeks and make the most of what I’ve already got.
Greetings from Brisbane, Australia
Yay! That’s good to hear and thank you so much ☺️ I hope you find some recipe ideas that you love!
I love reinventing leftovers. You get some great "one hit wonder" recipes that your family loves. Going to try the tortilla bowls.
Yes! I completely agree! So many great ways to use leftovers. I hope you love the taco bowls! They’re so fun!
everything looks delicious 😋 😊
Thank you so much! ☺️
love it
Thank you so much! ☺️
Great tips today! I’ll have to get a salad spinner!
Thank you so much! ☺️ and yes!! I was surprised by how much I love the salad spinner. I thought I would rarely use it but it’s made it so much easier for me to make salads so now I make them more!
Well done 👍!!
Thank you so much!
The tea diffuser! Brilliant! I love barbecue chicken pizza so I think I must make that!
Thank you! I have no idea if it’s ok to use it like that but I got tired of having to fish out the loose cloves and things lol 😂 I hope you love the pizza! It’s so easy and SO delicious!!
Your produce at your Aldi's in Calif.always looks so fresh.
I usually shop right after they put all the new produce out so I can try to get the freshest product too. I’ve been super impressed with their produce at this store ☺️
Same as the peanut butter, garbanzo or chic peas make hummus!
Oh yum!! I’ve gotta do that!
Love the teriyaki chicken dish!
Yes!! It’s so tasty! 😋 I’ve made it with lots of variations in the sauce and it turns out great every time. Super easy and delicious!
I was so excited- Aldi had that 93 lean ground beef on last day sale for $5 off per package this week! Bought it up & canned it. This all looks yummy
Yay!! What a great deal! 🤩 that’s so exciting! How do you can your beef? I need to try that
My husband and I eat pho a lot during the colder months.
I love that!! It’s just SO good! 🤤
Peep that Aldi sweater!! ❤❤
Yes!! I was lucky to get one 🤩
It's called mirepoix sofrito or Holy Trinity I just take the carrots onions celery garlic and some bell pepper wizard in my food processor and put it in little bags in the freezer so that I have it all the time for any base for anything that I would use that in
I love that! I need to start doing that too!
@@LauraLegge 😊
Such good recipes and ideas.
I wish I knew several ways for carrots. Can you please include ideas in a meal plan
Thank you! Yes, absolutely! I’ll work on that ☺️
Hi i am new to your channel, Your mesls look delish. Just a note if you have a big enough insta pot you can make your chicken broth in it too
Thank you so much! Oooh, I hadn’t thought of that! That’s brilliant! I love using my instant pot for so many things. It’s definitely my favorite appliance 😄
❤❤❤
😄
Had no idea you were in California!
TIP FROM me to you... you don't need the knife to get it out. use the spoon or your fingers it all works fine. however, the tool is great as well. I stopped using the knife because a lot of times I just use a butter or steak knife to cut my avos. I only use a butcher knife if I am using it to cut up other t; things.
Thank you for the tips! Those are great! I’m going to give that a try with a spoon next time ☺️
@@LauraLegge anytime. I have to admit Ive always wanted one of those avo cutting things I don't know why I've never gotten one though.
@@FoxyOxymoron I use it so much that I have 2! 😄
I’ve found cornstarch thickened liquids don’t handle reheating well. Apparently the trick is to add gelatin, or what I do is flour thickens, but make a slurry of oil and flour to avoid any potential clumping.
That’s a great idea!
Tapioca starch works really well. I get it at the Asian market. Plus gluten-free. 😊
😋
😄
Great video you are so pleasant to listen to ❤
@@yaricontreras3063 thank you so much! That’s so kind of you to say ☺️
Veggies are so cheap where you are 😊
Aldi has the best prices in my area and I try to only buy the veggies that are on sale when I shop ☺️
