⭐️ Mindy, to remove the garlic smell from your hands, wash your hands with a metal spoon or butter knife in between your palms. Sounds weird but works like a charm. Works on the onion smell too. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
My aunt says to rub your hands on your stainless steel faucet!!! lol
And try lemon or lemon essential oil!
That's so interesting! A few people have recommended this tip, and I'm intrigued to try it!
@@SeeMindyMom Also try bit of salt or baking soda , rub between your hands ,smell isa almost gone!
I'm Italian so I actually don't mind the garlicky smell 😂
Btw, one tip on the bay leaves, if you have "crumbs" or are cooking for older or younger folks, when you might be nervous about them getting a leaf caught in their throat, make a tea from the bay and add that for the same flavor 😁
Bay leaves get taken out of soup before serving they are just for flavor
I really appreciate you always including a sweat treat😋
My pleasure 😊
My trick for fresh tasting garlic without the smelly hands. Buy a large quantity of garlic and put it in the food processor with just enough oil to make it moldable. I use a cookie scoop to put it out on a baking sheet and freeze them and once they're frozen enough to not stick together I put the little scoops - double bagged - into the freezer! Anytime a recipe calls for garlic I just get a scoop out from the freezer and toss it in. It took me less than 10 minutes to get them ready to freeze!
Perfect timing, I was looking for new budget meals to make for my hubby and I and some meals for my youngest bonus son and his family. They have been sick with strep throat and ear infections.
Sorry rough when they're sick
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. We certainly have those seasons when things are working their way through the household. I hope there are some ideas here...the chicken soup was really good!
@@aleciayork3255 yes, it is. When they have 3 under the age of 10.
@@SeeMindyMom thank you, Mindy. Yes, I'm definitely going to make it.
@@MrsAlmaTrumbleoh my! We used to pass strep around my house when I was a kid. Not fun!! 😢🙏
Sitting down on the couch to meal plan.. opening my computer to find a UA-cam video to watch while planning.. seeing a new See Mindy Mom video and out loud to no one "YESSSS!!!!!" 😂 Then getting even more excited realizing most of what you use in this video I already have at home so adding them to the plan ❤ Love your videos!
Oh I’m so glad! Perfect timing 🙌 thanks for watching!
Love how u 8:57 offer affordable meals and other options to change it up. Wishing you and your family
Happy holidays.hoping your husband finds employment
That works for all of you.God bless.
Oooh yes this is perfect! Your meals are large enough that each dinner would be leftovers for lunch for my family. We have 2 adults and a little so I'm looking forward to making some of these meals next week.
Glad I can give some ideas!
The USDA Thrifty family food plan doesn’t have very big serving sizes. You did really well!
Thanks!
Glad to see you use that Parmesan rind. I keep mine in the freezer also. Some stores sell them in a container, I'll put the container in the freezer and take one at a time. Gives sauces, soups etc great flavor. Just make sure that you "fish" it out before serving😊
Yep, me too! I have a little baggie in the freezer full of parm rinds! :)
Sitting in my car trying to meal plan while I picked up some lunch…perfect timing! I’ve been stuck in such a rut lately- the normal tacos, spaghetti, hot dogs…I’m so bored and I don’t have the energy to find new meals. So thankful for your channel!
I’ve been there! Glad I can give some ideas!
The chicken and rice bake looks amazing. Adding it to my list.
It was delicious! I hope you like it!
To remove the garlic or onion smell from your hand, rub your stainless steel faucet up and down the faucet. It really does work! I don't know why!
Just Discovered Your Channel & I am SO EXCITED!! Our family is dealing with some serious budget cuts and You are a Blessing!!! TY
Good recipes. I would switch to brown rice and whole wheat pasta. But glad someone else sees the flavor value of bone-in, skin-on chicken.😊 Also add the bones and skin to freezer bag for bone broth.
I love your cooking and budget ideas. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤ I have watched all of your videos at least once. You do such a great job with your channel. 😊
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
I love garlic and it is a pain to chop etc. Jarred garlic is a permanent fixture in my fridge and so easy to use.
Yep, I use that too!
Thank you for differentiating “meal” and “servings”!!….I get so tired of videos advertising “20 meals for cheap” when they meant 20 servings of 5 meals
LOVED this video and price point! My oldest son (6) has to watch your videos when he hears them and he wants to eat all of these, even the soup!😊 Thank you for continuing to inspire us!
Ah, thank you so much for sharing that! I’m glad I can be helpful. :)
Here’s another tip for making ground turkey taste beefy: add about 1/2 Tbsp of beef Better than Bullion and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Don’t add to much of the Better than Bullion, or the turkey will be too salty!
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your talents. Take care!
That chicken looks GORGEOUS! I will definitely try that recipe
Oh my goodness he looks like his daddy!! 😁
your budget meal videos are great. looking forward to the new ones. Happy holidays and thanks for all your hard work for us this year. ❤
Every single recipe sounds absolutely delicious with a great price point! I’ll be trying them all.
🎄🎄🎄
Love the apple salad idea! I'll try it this week!
I needed these recipes. Thank you!
Glad I can help!
Snickers salad, it's a real thing. Usually with Granny Smith, but I use whatever apples I have on hand.
Always your tips are fabulous! Thank you for the video!
Ah, thank you so much! I appreciate you watching, too! :)
I love watching you take a little and make a lot ❤
Thank you so much!
The shrimp fettuccini was delicious!!
Awesome video, everything looks yummy😊Thank You for sharing
Glad I can help! Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed watching your video over and over because I keep learning more and more about cooking . My husband always talks about the style of shopping for groceries exactly how you shop and take care of your family. My way is good but I should challenge myself.
Thank you. I really learn so much from you ✨️
I love these recipes! I'm going to try the Skillet chicken and rice first. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy it!
Awesome video, thanks Mindy 🌲👍👍🌲🌲
Mindy, you’re the best at making the tastiest meals for the family stretching ingredients as far as you can…
Thank you so much! I appreciate the compliment. :)
thank u for advice about food wise
Hi Mindy, for the Alfredo, you could substitute rotisserie chicken for the shrimp. I buy a $5 Costco rotisserie chicken and make at least 4 meals from it.
I love your videos and will be using them a bunch in the New Year! Do you have a lint to the pan you use? I love the versatility of it and you use it a lot!
The apple salad would be great with green 🍏 apple. Tart and sweet together
Just want to say how much I enjoy your videos. You are obviously very talented and knowledgeable about food, but what especially gets me is your way of presenting things. You are very positive and pleasant, and it is obvious that you enjoy what you do in sharing with your viewers. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
I worked in a restaurant. Every week we dumped many cloves of garlic into a food processor and chopped them finely and used them all week. Much more efficient than doing them individually and can save your hands! They keep for at least a week in the fridge. Love your videos!
Try rubbing your fingers on something stainless steel after prepping garlic or onions. Sounds silly but it works!
I haven't heard that tip yet! I'll try it out some time. :)
Used this meal plan for this week, pricing was almost the same, everyone loved the meals, had some leftover for lunches. Perfect. I had to make some accommodations for dairy free, but pretty easy and was able to keep the cost down. We had never tried the apple salad but it was successful, we used green apples and leftover halloween candy! Cant wait for the next one.
Good stuff.
Mindy, THANK YOU for amazing ideas. Im TRYING to train my ADHD brain to meal plan and shop with a list. I get so impatient knowing i need a certain ingredient for a dish.... and end up spending money we dont have. And with recent personal events, ive been forced to become a stay at home mom and utilizing food pantries to make sure we are ok. So these videos really help give me some ideas on dinner for when the oldest son and husband is home.... hoping to get to your level of creativity some day!
Just add the whole garlic cloves with the skin to your pan, once soft remove and they will be so so easy to peel, plus the garlic won't burn this way.
I am in Alaska. I pulled out my walmart App to see the price difference. I tried to get the cheapest product I could. I normally shop per weight or amount. Guess what, I was so surprised. Walmart must be fair to us here. My total with your grocery list was only 65.02. There are a few items I can not eat but now Im excited to see what you came up with.
One of the reasons I use Walmart so much is because they’re almost everywhere in the US where 85% of my audience watches from. So even if the prices are a little different, they can still at least get most of the products. 😊
I'm impressed. I'm half tempted to see what it'd be here in the Cincinnati, Northern KY area....
What brand of pot is that. Love it
Great video!
Thanks!
Mindy they actually sell a stainless steel soap bar that actually takes the smell of the onions and garlic away. Love your channel ❤
I have an on-farm bakery, and your comment about all ovens working differently is TRUTH. differently by the day as well lol 😂😂😂
Yes and by the season in my part of the country!
All you have to do to get the smell of your hands is run your fingers up and down your water faucet in your sink.... it works!! I wouldn't have believed it... until I tried it....
LOL your daughter’s little bowl raise was so funny.
That toasted vanilla yogurt is my favorite yogurt from Walmart!!!
My fave is the caramel apple pie from dannon, I wish WM would make a store brand of that. :)
I love the red hair and ruddy complexion on Brick! What a cutie! 🎉❤
Mindy, do you keep a sourdough starter? I think you’d love it! I make it about once a week but 2-6 loaves each time I bake, and the rest of the time I keep it in the freezer so I’m never throwing any away. You can make bread, waffles, pancakes, crackers, English muffins, popovers, etc.
What would be the steps for cooking the creamy chicken and rice soup in the slow cooker?
Do you wver use geound chicken , or ground pork?
Thank you for another great video!! Mindy, do you have a link for the deep skillet you use, or a recommendation? I am in the market for one. Thanks!
The company went bankrupt unfortunately, but it’s a 7qt rondeaux and I’m sure other brands make something similar.
I make the shrimp pasta with broccoli all the time the kids love it but I throw the broccoli in with the pasta and shrimp
Us Northerners usually say "pee-cans" lol. The Bourbon pecans looked delish😋
I think you've got that wrong. Northerners usually say "puh cons".
Pacific NW ... peecons ... like animal p... and con as in a con (man). Depends on where one lives, or was raised.
Can you link your stove to oven skillet?
No, because the company went bankrupt. But I’m sure there are others like it. It’s a 7qt rondeaux
Soap your hands then grab the faucet like your messaging it making sure you use all your fingers. Then rinse off,see if that helps. That's what I do even after chopping onions😊😊😊😊
Okay how do you do the last one/chicken and rice soup with a slow cooker like you were going to do? Help!
There are stainless steal "soap" bars that you can buy to remove that odor from your hands. (And they are reusable) Lemon juice is also good for removing that odor from your hands.
good tips! Thanks!
I just discovered that washing your hands with toothpaste will remove the smell of garlic and fish from your hands 🎉 hope this is helpful 🙂 I love your videos!!
Your pronunciation Mindy is correct!!!!!! Thanks
taco spaghetti!!!
My family wouldn't go for this much rice in a week... wondering about substituting diced potatoes possibly in the soup?
I love this meal plan. And since I haven't seen this comment... Pecan is pronounced puh-con. It's a native word that means "Nut."
Too bad Brick doesn’t like potato. Our family are not big fans of rice. Lol. So I tend to substitute potatoes for pasta or rice quite often in your recipes. Talk about changing ingredients!!! Thanks for the tips
To remove the garlic smell from your hands, simply run your hands under cold running water without rubbing for a few seconds.
Great video Mindy! Here's a tip for "garlicky fingers," wash your hands with mouthwash, something minty. Works everytime. I too suffered from that lingering smell 😂
Great idea!!
I'm surprised you don't ever use tofu in your budget meals. It's so affordable, especially at Aldi and so versatile.
I love one pan meals. Thanks for all the ideas 😁
🤮 tofu isn't something I think most people find tasty
🤷♀️ i love it. When seasoned correctly, it tastes amazing.
@user-el2zv8mc2t A lot of folks who watch this channel probably do not eat at least something Mindy suggests but they refrain from posting a barfing emoji.
That total cost would only cover the shrimp and apples in my neck of the woods. No Walmart. Brilliant meal ideas though.
❤❤❤
Totally agree about being meh about shrimp. It’s like the jello of fish. Not a huge fan of the texture 😂
hahaha! That is the perfect description! It's the texture for me, too.
Lol😂
Thank you for sharing! Great ideas!
Wait wait wait -- your husband, a TEXAN, says pee-can!?! Texan demerits! That is our state tree, sir. It's pronounced puh-cahn! 😉
Also, I appreciate when you include seafood in your meal plans!
The penne you used in the Hamburger Helper dupe was an Aldi brand (Reggano), which was not shown when you displayed your WalMart grocery haul. Did you just swap one out for the other, or was the Reggano an addition?
I just grabbed the wrong one from the pantry. I also filmed a skillet meals video as I was in the middle of filming this one and I used the Walmart penne in one of those dishes.
Makes perfect sense. Thank you!
@@SeeMindyMom
I can’t believe they toast the nuts the same day, that’s so cool. Do Oklahomans have southern accents?
No, we have more like Texas accents. Not quite the same as a southern drawl.
Trick to get the smell of garlic off your hands: rub them on the inside of a stainless steel sink. Sounds crazy but it works!
cool
People let me let you know something just cause you’re broke doesn’t mean you don’t have to season your food. If you have seasonings, please season with your heart content not a pinch of paprika you need like six pinches.
Stainless steel gets garlic smell off your fingers. If your sink is stainless steel, rub your fingers on the sides, then you can wash hands as usual. Voila! Odor gone!
👍👍👍👍
Peee-cans 😂 that’s how we say it in the south ❤
Hell the price has already gone up. For 2 bell peppers, bottle of teriyaki, 1 lb spaghetti noodles, 1 lemon, 12oz 41-60 shrimp, 8 chicken breast (variable), 3 garlic bulbs, 15oz jar of alfredo, 12oz cherry tomatos, and 15$ for reusable baking sheet: 74$ holding price, 68$, and thats after saving 11$ for being a wal mart annual member. so in theory.. 79$ for way less than what you grabbed lol.
This is getting insane
Bu cons east central Mississippi.
I have a challenge for Mindy to make breakfast lunch and dinner for a full month on a $300 budget
Wash hands with table salt or lemon juice
Thank you! I'll try that next time! :)
Hey quick question , it's not about recipes , I was wondering if where you live do they have a right to work tax or rain tax ?
I eat raw garlic and I never have smelly fingers because I rub my hands in my steel sink. Takes the smell right off!
Wash your hands with salt first then soap to get rid of garlic or onion smell.
In Australia we say pee cans, same as the rest of your family 😂
We need budget meals with fewer carbs . It seems most budget meals use pasta or rice . I am a diabetic controled by diet so can't eat these too often .
You are saying pecans right. You are the only good one in your family. 😂😂😂
❤❤❤
