    I've been scrubbing potatoes up good and leaving the skins on. They say a lot vitamins are in the skins plus fiber. That's what the prisoners survived on during World War II. Thank you for the video and sharing. Blessings to you.

    That bacon grease will really perk up the cabbage. The core can be run through a food processor to get every last bit.
    My grandmother would feel at home in this kitchen. This was their home and so many of her pans and baking dishes, utensils, dishes and tableware are being used every day. Her Betty Crocker Cookbook is on a shelf.

      I cleaned out the fridge last week during the freeze to make a veg soup. Used the rehydrating water from potatoes and mushrooms and saved the liquid off some mixed vegs used earlier in the week which all made for a very light soup broth. Threw in a quarter cup of homemade pickled vegs and the wee little bit of 2 leftover scratch tartar type sauces which perked things up just enough. Waste not, want not.

  • @Mnsawti
    @Mnsawti 19 годин тому +3

    I absolutely agree with your method of making cornbread-110%. Some people may argue that sugar has no place in cornbread, but here's my counterpoint: a century ago, corn was ground into meal only when it was fully ripe, and naturally, it was sweet. However, due to modern industrial food production, corn is now harvested and ground much earlier, resulting in a less sweet meal. That’s why adding just two tablespoons of sugar actually brings cornbread closer to its authentic, traditional flavor. I really enjoy your videos - the Rodgers family from Saint Paul, MN

    • @bettyir4302

    From one granny to another, thank you for your very enjoyable channel. It's like sitting at the kitchen table talking with a friend/neighbor/family member about things most of us deal with daily. I'm behind on watching and liking your videos, but I'll work on that. I just have one comment to add to your talk about how we food prep for the week or make a big pot of soup, etc. and then get tired of eating the same thing several days in a row. Same here! What I do is have a serving of whatever I made on that day, put another serving or maybe two in the fridge, then go ahead and portion out the rest of it to go in the freezer. That way I don't get tired of eating the same thing, and I get to look forward to having more of that delicious dish later on without having to make the whole thing again. Take care, and I look forward to more of your good ideas on frugal living.

I don’t think you need meat at every meal or at all ever really, lots of non-meat protein out there. Crispy fried tofu with just salt and pepper is delicious, beans, cheese, lots of options. And like you said, other things contain smaller amounts and they add up too. $5 meals sounds like an awesome idea, go for it!
