I absolutely love you! Not only are you a great inspiration to ppl that can't necessarily afford our high grocery prices, you have such a great personality. When I tuned in, at my old age of 75, was wanting to learn how to make tortillas. With your beautiful smile and happy personality it drew me into watching more. I love your channel and "you". Keep up that great work and making ppl feel like you're not above them. ❤
Don't throw chicken bones away simmer them in water with a splash of vinegar this help the bones to release collagen if you want to add herbs onion garlic lemon ect. This is bone broth for free make soup or use it to cook rice adds flavor.
I appreciate that you're doing a series of weekly $20 food budgets that builds on the leftover items yòu purchased or made in the previous weeks. I think that is more realistic and shows how to use up the items ĺeft at the end of each week, so that later in the month you can incorporate those things in your meal plan so you add a little more variety while sticking to your budget.
She is doing a series. She rolls over ingredients she has left to show how you can slowly add more variety to your meals even if you have a very limited budget. ❤️
MY FAVORITE POTATO SALAD (Everyone seems to love it; I've been making it like this for 45 years.) 4 to 6 servings 2 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium), peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (I like to use sweet onion) 1/4 cup Zesty Italian salad dressing (I use Light dressing, but not fat-free) 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip (I use both 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish 1 1/2 Tablespoons spicy brown mustard 1 medium stalk celery, chopped small 4 hard-cooked eggs, coarsely chopped Rinse potatoes, and add to medium sized saucepan. Cover with water to about 1/2" over potatoes. Season with salt, using about 1/2 teaspoon per cup of water used. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook until fork tender. Drain, then add back to pan And shake for a few seconds over hot burner to dry. Into hot potatoes, stir in onion, Italian salad dressing, salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl; cover and Let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, pickle relish, mustard, salt and Pepper and mix thoroughly. Set aside until potatoes have cooled. When potatoes have cooled down to room temp, add celery, eggs, and mayonnaise mixture; Toss until potatoes are well coated. Cover and chill at least two hours, and up to overnight. The longer you chill before serving the better the flavor. I like to make it the night before to serve the next day. NOTE: Can substitute 1/2 Cup thinly sliced green onions for the 1/4 cup finely chopped onion.
More wonderful recipes to put in my book from you, About your cast iron skillet. I have been married now for 53 years, I brought with me 2 different sizes. Mine is well seasoned so it doesn't stick at all. Everything you cook in it tastes so much better! It's completely learning about seasoning your pan. After I use it I clean it in HOT soapy water and a scrubby. NO SOS pads just the back side of the sponge. While it's still wet put it back on the stove and let it get very hot. Turn off heat and take about 1 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil and place in pan. Take a paper towel and careful smooth the oil ALL over the inside of the pan. Do this after each use and it will last a lifetime. By the way HAPPY Mother's Day! See ya next week!
We buy a jar of creamy peanut butter and a jar of roasted peanuts so that those in the household that like crunchy can just add them to their sandwich etc. 😊
I'm a new subscriber today. Love your videos! Many years ago I was divorced and starting over on my own with a small income. I met a new coworker and friend at work that taught me how to cook good food like this for little money. Forever grateful.
I hope you used the chicken bones to make a broth! Great for soup or gravy. Also, the yellow of the eggs could be used for egg sandwiches with some mayo, mustard. and sliced cucumber.
Happy Mother's Day! I love these "budget for a week" videos! And all the rest of your videos and your website. I'm a gringa, but I love Mexican food, as long as it's not too complicated! haha! You're my favorite UA-cam Mexican food channel. I love my cast iron. I have some that are as old or older as I am, that I inherited from my dad and my grandmother. I also have newer ones from LODGE that I bought, as well as vintage ones (Griswold and Wagner brands) that I found on ebay. I love them all; once you get them seasoned well, and learn to properly care for them, they are fabulous.
Happy Mother's Day Lady! Your my new favorite budget cook to watch on UA-cam binge watch your videos on my days off. Thanks for all the inspiration to fill our bellies on a budget. I love cast iron as well. I wanted to reach out and inspire you as well to try making your own sour dough starter to use in place of your commercial yeast in your recipes budget friendly and good for your digestive health never any waste cause you can use sourdough discard when your not baking bread for pancakes, cake, brownies, tortillas, pizza dough, donuts onion rings, fried fish, and vegetables my new favorite is fried jalapenos but there is so so much you can make having it on hand. It's not hard at all to start your own sour dough journey. I can send you more on that if your interested
A little trick I learned to peel the perfect boiled eggs us after they are cooked add them to a square jar like a spaghetti sauce jar or a jelly jar as long as it is not round you want the corners inside the jar add 2 or 3 eggs water to cover them put on the lid and shake shake shake what should happen is egg shell will come off on its own and all that is needed us a quick rinse if the egg empty jar and continue till done hope I explained it right but it works perfextly
Another wonderful spice to add to your donut dough is a smidge of nutmeg. This is THE spice in donuts that gives all donuts their distinctive flavor profile. I'm very partial to a yeast raised, rather than the quick bread variety. Well done, and I hope you try the nutmeg on the next occasion you make donuts. To ensure to the egg yolks disperse thoroughly throughout my potato salad, I mush them up in the dressing until smooth. Then add the chopped whites later in the process. As a child, I wasn't a fan of avocados, either. However when I turned 14, I came to love them. The same with mushrooms. Fear not, momma, he may come to like them when he's older.
I bought my cast iron at a swap meet for $3. That was af long time ago but they're still in amazing shape. I put onion and tomatoes in my migas.Nothing better
You have to keep the cast iron pan seasoned with oil and rib it in and around the inside while not in use. My Mom used to keep in the oven when not in use. So I do that also
Yes after every wash you need to put it on burner and get it very hot, get all water out, then oil it, most of the time I use lard but oil is fine. If you don't do this they will usually rust
I really appreciate your small batch recipies. First because I hate making a lot of a newcrecipie when I don't know if we're going to like it. And second, because there are only two of us who really don't need to have a dozen dooughnuts hanging around!
Hi Gabby!!! I'm really enjoying all the meals you cook at such a low price. I'm glad I found your channel. Happy Mothers Day to you. Great Video!!!...🦋
Happy Mother's Day to you! 💐 Love your budget videos. If you start your eggs in boiling water and simmer covered for 11 minutes then put in ice bath the shells will come off easier. Tell me why you don't use the yolks in your potato salad my recipe is very similar but I mash the yolks and add to the mayo mix.
I do the same thing. The shock of cold egg going into boiling water then the shock of hot egg going into cold water makes the peels practically fall off every time! Even fresh eggs.
My recipe is similar and works on eggs that were laid that same day. Boil water, gently add eggs, reduce heat to low, cook uncovered for 13 minutes. Remove eggs and place them into ice with water and let them sit for 5 minutes. I can get the shells off in one piece.❤
Easier, yes. But will it ever compare to the yeasty, lofty, loveliness of a yeast raised donut? Not even close. Besides, those canned biscuits have copious chemicals and come with the added cost of processed convenience. A five pound bag of flour, and a one pound brick bag of instant yeast (I keep the bulk of it in the freezer, and periodically flush a half cup into my toilet to keep my septic tank happy.) will take you farther in the long run when it comes to options. When you're banging on a budget, options in your future meals is a great investment that a single use can of biscuits can never compete with. My yeast outlasts my flour supply. I bought two pounds during the lockdowns for around $6 when all the packet yeast was being hoarded and few knew what to do with the bulk instant yeast. 😂 It will last for years in the freezer. 2.25 Tsp. = one packet of yeast.
And yes real authentic non processed anything is ten times better. Takes a little more work but for me the convenience of processed is to much especially when it comes to our health, and homemade from scratch makes me feel so proud
Thank u Gaby for another great video on a budget. The lasagna roll ups in my house r whatever veggies I have that I can sauté in olive oil n butter n roll up w a lil cheese n put in the pan to bake w the sauce on the bottom, the top n the biggest,part of the cheese on top the last ten minutes. A good way to use leftover veggies, sauce n cheese. Thank u for the chicken idea. Here a small roast chicken is $8.99 so it’s much more expensive n our Walmart doesn’t offer whole roast chicken anymore 😢😢. I love ur ideas n recipes.😊❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I Love your recipes and I know those yeast donuts have to be good! When I was growing up in the 70's we didn't live close to donut shop....no transportation so my mom made her magic and opened a can of biscuits she cut out the center and fried them like you did! So your video brought back happy memories
You offered some simple snd tasty recipes that would be delicious and nutritious ! And I wouldn’t have thought of those lasagna roll ups made that way or the avocado snd bean tacos!! Thank you and God bless 🙏🙏🙋🏻
this is so helpful and interesting and it always makes me hungry! when making the rollups you could do a fridge clean out and chop together any black and also green olives you may have and add them to the roll ups. would add a bit of color and some more flavor. seems like most folks usually have black and green olives in the fridge! thanks for being you!
Hi Gaby! I'm a long time subscriber, LOVING this series! Thank you for sharing all your recipes and great kitchen skills with us. Now I have a long list to try, perfect for my budget!
First of all, I appreciate you. Did you know that you can buy a small jar of dill pickle relish to add instead of pickle juice & pickles?? It works well & saves time!
Lots of delicious meals. Yum. To get a few more meals out of the food: 1) Soup: Boil chicken bones. Bake the skin and dice. Pick off any more chicken. 2) Save the potato peals and dice. 3) Make a soup with all of the above plus the remaining tomato. 2-3 servings of soup Could also blend the peels with a bit of water/broth before adding chicken. 1) Creamy egg toasts.. Alternatively with a cup of the soup stock, make a Cream of Anything Sauce that is like a cross between gravy and white sauce using one cup of chicken stalk, one tablespoon of chicken fat(cool stock in refrigeratorand save fat off the top), one tablespoon of flour, salt and pepper. 2) Toast two slices of bread. Slice 2 egg yolks and put 1 on each slice. 3) Put half of Cream of Anything Sauce over each slice. 1) Egg Salad. Make egg salad with the yolks. 2) Put on toast or bread. 1) Bonus Chicken Salad Using extra chicken from boiling the chicken bones and picking it, make chicken salad. 2) Serve on toast or bread.
Hey Gabi, I sp 💞 so love you, you are my daily Sunshine 🌞, May God Jesus Christ bless you big time!! You are the funnest and you give me such good meals, oh my goodness!! They are so good!! Love you Gabi!!
I love your channel!!!! Your recipes look DELICIOUS!! I heard your dog barking in the background, what kind of dog do you have? Could you show it sometime? Thanks
Amiga feliz dia de las madres!! Gracias por tus videos.. te doy un tip.. en la compra de tus $20 estuvo bien, lo que mire esque empiezas haciendo donas de lo cual la harina ni la levadura estaba en tu compra.. entonces es asimilar que las personas tienen harina y levadura en su casa, al igual que el pan de barra.. pero recuerda.. hay personas que no tienen nada y miran videos de como poder comer con poco dinero.. mi recomendacion es solo usar lo que compraste y estas mostrando en tu video.. ♥️
I'm wondering where the potatoes and flour for donuts came from. I didnt see them in your purchases. I wasn't sure if the rules of your $20: a week menus. Were these items leftover from other weeks of $20/week meals?
One person, but they have helped me see that I can feed myself and my husband for around $40 a week without too much trouble. I don't use all of the recipes exactly, but they give me ideas for similar frugal meals.
It's a bit confusing, one minute your saying that you have no cheese to put on lasgagne meals, next minute you pull out some cheese! Very confusing! Apart from that, i like these videos! Also should be based on a family, not just one person!
@@mexicancookingwithgaby6589 I am thankful you do them for ONE PERSON because that is how i ever first found you there are not alot of videos for cooking for one or two and I am thankful for your ideas. God bless
Hi, I do like your recipes but a lot of your portion sizes are too small I think. U know this would not br enough food to make you feel full. Is that really all you eat? I am not being mean just honestly want to know :) Your recipes are very nice though!
I absolutely love you! Not only are you a great inspiration to ppl that can't necessarily afford our high grocery prices, you have such a great personality. When I tuned in, at my old age of 75, was wanting to learn how to make tortillas. With your beautiful smile and happy personality it drew me into watching more. I love your channel and "you".

Ooo thank you for the sweet comment. You are very welcome

Please don't listen to bad or negative comments please you are helping us learn how to cook THANK YOU

Wow. Thank you so much!!! I'm new to the cast iron great advice. Definitely I will do that from now on!!! I appreciate it.
Thanks.
@@mexicancookingwithgaby6589 please answer me: what is the constant/rhythmic beeping in the background of your videos?
We buy a jar of creamy peanut butter and a jar of roasted peanuts so that those in the household that like crunchy can just add them to their sandwich etc. 😊
Add that yolk! It makes the potato salad creamier and richer! And yes sweet pickle juice really pumps up the flavor! 🎉😊

Fresh donut w hot cup of black coffee ughs my heart
Those donuts. ❤️

The best video yet! I look forward to each one. I started a little Gaby cookbook. Thank you.
I love your ideas and your sparking personality.
Thank you so much!

Cast iron well seasoned is perfect
I never thought of making a small recipe of donuts. Most of my donut recipes are HUGE. What a great idea!

I definitely will add nutmeg to my donuts. So yummy! Thanks for watching. Hopefully he does 😆 because Avocado is so yummy
I go to the cold section of the deli and get cold rotisserie chickens for almost 1/2 off. Especially on mondays.
If you have milk, bring to a simmer and add a little vinegar and remove from heat strain and it is farmer cheese
⚘️ Happy Mother's Day! ⚘️
Another wonderful video!
Thank you!
I bought my cast iron at a swap meet for $3. That was af long time ago but they're still in amazing shape.
I put onion and tomatoes in my migas.Nothing better
great deal!
Happy Mother’s day, hope you have a wonderful day ❤❤
the yoke in the potato salad would help boost the protein and nutrition.
Gonna try your papa salad ,I use green olives,green onions, pickles,celery ,always best foods sorry lol
I enjoy your videos and the fact that the recipes use minimal everyday ingredients ❤ Thank you!
You have to keep the cast iron pan seasoned with oil and rib it in and around the inside while not in use. My Mom used to keep in the oven when not in use. So I do that also
I'm learning as I am using them . Thanks for the tip.

Agree! Glad that you liked it.
I LOVE your videos!!!! Add the yolk to your potato salad, if you stir it in enough, it will disappear, and become a richer part of your sauce!
I will next time.
I cook my eggs in the same pot with the potatoes
Great idea!
You made my mouth water! Everything looks delicious and economical! 👍❤️😋
Thank you so much for watching

You can use the egg yolks for an egg salad sandwich. It usually uses the white & yolk but it's better than wasting the yolk.
Happy Mother's day 🌺 hugs
Awesome work 🎉

Gaby...I watch all of your videos for recipe ideas and a chance to see your lovely face...bless you
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love your videos! I feel like I'm in the kitchen cooking with my mom ❤
EDIT: For a family of four, would you just multiply by four?
I like the yolk in my potato salad.
An easy way to make donuts is to open a can of biscuits and put a hole in the middle and place in hot oil. Sprinkle sugar ( powder sugar
Easier, yes. But will it ever compare to the yeasty, lofty, loveliness of a yeast raised donut? Not even close. Besides, those canned biscuits have copious chemicals and come with the added cost of processed convenience. A five pound bag of flour, and a one pound brick bag of instant yeast (I keep the bulk of it in the freezer, and periodically flush a half cup into my toilet to keep my septic tank happy.) will take you farther in the long run when it comes to options. When you're banging on a budget, options in your future meals is a great investment that a single use can of biscuits can never compete with. My yeast outlasts my flour supply. I bought two pounds during the lockdowns for around $6 when all the packet yeast was being hoarded and few knew what to do with the bulk instant yeast. 😂 It will last for years in the freezer. 2.25 Tsp. = one packet of yeast.
Great idea!!

Thanks for watching.
Also you can find them reasonable at goodwill or thrift shops.
I find a lot of my cast iron at garage/estate sales, but was also inherited some from my mom and grandma
Money well spent! Great video and menu!
Thr doughnuts looked delicious. Im going to try making them! You should have boiled up the chicken carcass to make stock for your soup.
I did but not in the video. I never tried it so I want it to do it and sew. Thanks for watching.
Great ideas for tasty meals …. Really appreciate you putting them together for us!! 😍
this is so helpful and interesting and it always makes me hungry! when making the rollups you could do a fridge clean out and chop together any black and also green olives you may have and add them to the roll ups. would add a bit of color and some more flavor. seems like most folks usually have black and green olives in the fridge! thanks for being you!
Hi Gaby! I'm a long time subscriber, LOVING this series! Thank you for sharing all your recipes and great kitchen skills with us. Now I have a long list to try, perfect for my budget!
Another great video - many wonderful meals - proves you can eat a variety at a low cost!

Thanks for the visit
Do you have a video showing how you care for your cast iron pans? They look great!!
Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you!!!!!
I love your attitude towards everything. Thanks so much for sharing
Oh good, I always wondered where to buy cast iron pans. Thanks for the link
Thank you for sharing! I’m learning new ways to stretch our meals thanks to you.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
You are a fabulous cook THANK YOU so much for sharing 😊
First of all, I appreciate you. Did you know that you can buy a small jar of dill pickle relish to add instead of pickle juice & pickles?? It works well & saves time!
Lots of delicious meals. Yum.
To get a few more meals out of the food:
1) Soup: Boil chicken bones. Bake the skin and dice. Pick off any more chicken.
2) Save the potato peals and dice.
3) Make a soup with all of the above plus the remaining tomato. 2-3 servings of soup
Could also blend the peels with a bit of water/broth before adding chicken.
1) Creamy egg toasts.. Alternatively with a cup of the soup stock, make a Cream of Anything Sauce that is like a cross between gravy and white sauce using one cup of chicken stalk, one tablespoon of chicken fat(cool stock in refrigeratorand save fat off the top), one tablespoon of flour, salt and pepper.
2) Toast two slices of bread.
Slice 2 egg yolks and put 1 on each slice.
3) Put half of Cream of Anything Sauce over each slice.
1) Egg Salad. Make egg salad with the yolks.
2) Put on toast or bread.
1) Bonus Chicken Salad
Using extra chicken from boiling the chicken bones and picking it, make chicken salad.
2) Serve on toast or bread.
Correction : One cup of chicken stock
Hey Gabi, I sp 💞 so love you, you are my daily Sunshine 🌞, May God Jesus Christ bless you big time!! You are the funnest and you give me such good meals, oh my goodness!! They are so good!! Love you Gabi!!
An interesting potato salad recipie. Will def be trying this. I make the standard southern potato salad.
I love your channel!!!! Your recipes look DELICIOUS!!
I heard your dog barking in the background, what kind of dog do you have? Could you show it sometime? Thanks
Amiga feliz dia de las madres!! Gracias por tus videos.. te doy un tip.. en la compra de tus $20 estuvo bien, lo que mire esque empiezas haciendo donas de lo cual la harina ni la levadura estaba en tu compra.. entonces es asimilar que las personas tienen harina y levadura en su casa, al igual que el pan de barra.. pero recuerda.. hay personas que no tienen nada y miran videos de como poder comer con poco dinero.. mi recomendacion es solo usar lo que compraste y estas mostrando en tu video.. ♥️
She usually explains that she had some things left from previous video purchases. Maybe I missed that in this video?
Corn tortillas with eggs is a childhood favorite of mine ❤
Oh yes!
the soup: if someone had a can of corn in the cupboard it could be drained and added to the soup-always helpful and good too!
I'm wondering where the potatoes and flour for donuts came from. I didnt see them in your purchases. I wasn't sure if the rules of your $20: a week menus. Were these items leftover from other weeks of $20/week meals?
Yes she uses what is left from previous weeks.
It is funny i never liked avocado until here recently. Still not crazy abt it but as you say it is very healthy so i eat it and it has grown on me.
I love your videos, but can you do a video where you make donuts in the oven. I am going to start doing what you do... lol
Sure. I do have a recipe for donuts in the oven.
Is this meal plan just for one person or for a family?
One person, but they have helped me see that I can feed myself and my husband for around $40 a week without too much trouble. I don't use all of the recipes exactly, but they give me ideas for similar frugal meals.
I SHARED TO FACEBOOK I DONT KNOW WHT YOU DONT GET FIVE HUNDRED VIEWS THE MINUTE YOU POST
It's good 👍 to be able to make your own donuts and keep money in your pocket for something else ❤❤
Thanks for watching.
Was that oil on you added to the dough?
I eat grapes for breakfast
It's a bit confusing, one minute your saying that you have no cheese to put on lasgagne meals, next minute you pull out some cheese! Very confusing! Apart from that, i like these videos! Also should be based on a family, not just one person!
I make both types of videos for a family and for 1 person.
@@mexicancookingwithgaby6589 I am thankful you do them for ONE PERSON because that is how i ever first found you there are not alot of videos for cooking for one or two and I am thankful for your ideas. God bless
So sad the egg yoke is the best😢
Hi, I do like your recipes but a lot of your portion sizes are too small I think. U know this would not br enough food to make you feel full. Is that really all you eat? I am not being mean just honestly want to know :) Your recipes are very nice though!
Yes we do. But the portion can change from person to person. I usually have food for next week. Maybe you can add more and be ok.
Just depends on how much you want to eat. I eat probably less and I'm never hungry.
