Our style of eating couldn't be farther away from the dishes you create on this channel, but YOU AND YOUR SWEET FAMILY are addicting!!! ❤I just love your personality and your screen presence so much. My day is not complete without watching one of your videos! Keep on helping peoples you do in your generous sweet way. Our world needs more people like you right now. God bless you and your family! Lots of love from Texas.❤
I went to dollar tree and bought my daughter a huge pantry haul and several boxes of shelf stable whole milk. She gets WIC but never has enough milk by the end of the month. She loved it. They are set for a while. I'm blessed to be an always working OT nurse who hates to downs money on myself. So i treated her. She worked crazy hours so I'm going to help her out some freezer meals together also. They eat 95% venison they harvest and process themselves.
I don’t care what people say, you have to shop at multiple stores to get the best deals.
Yes! I shop on a store rotation.
I go online and check sales from all 5 grocery stores in my area, there all with in 3 miles from my home. I only buy on sale items. Started that years ago, it works well, especially when a person needs to stock up and put back for hard times. This makes easier to buy a couple of extra things my daughter likes, that's expensive, that I normally don't buy, unless there's a sale but one get one. That's usually when I try to stock up special foods she likes.
Thank God for people like you. Teach all you can, and help as many as you can.
I could listen to your back stories for days. That's one of my favorite reasons why I love your channel. You are far from weird. You are refreshing real.
You Rock Mama 🙌💯🙌
This is one of the best budget meals videos I’ve seen. “Realistic” is a very good descriptor.
I agree love it
Totally agree ! So good ❤
I watch both Brooke and Lisa, best frugal meals ideas.
👍👍💕
Your meals both inspire me and bring back many memories. At one time I was working both a full time and a part time jobs to pay for childcare and my bills. Every time I stopped for gas I'd search for change to buy a small coffee. The coffee was to give me access to the condiments table. Salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash, sugar, stevia, creamers, ketchup, mustard, mayo etc etc. Yes I would take some of everything I could. Many times they were all I had for the week or a recipe. Often times I didn't have leftovers for a meal between jobs and found that I could stop at a diner and order 1 egg with 2 slices of toast & a coffee for $1.19 plus tax. Cheapest meal I could find and I took the condiments with me from there too. To this day I still have a container in the fridge for packets and a canister on the kitchen counter with all the paper packets. You never know when you will suddenly discover that the kids used the last of the ketchup or soy sauce etc and those packets saved the day.
went I started up my pantry what I did us take 20.00 went to Walmart and bought many items which were one dollar or under. I did that every 2 weeks it didn't take long before I was well stocked up with soups. veggie. cereal flour sugar oat pasta and pasta sauces too etc by the way I love Walmart sloppy joe mix and it is only 1.00 a can still can't believe it has not gone up as of 2 weeks ago I bought 6 cans.
Great idea
@@mariaretired9711 of course i started with 20 but it could be hard for some so even if you start with 5.00 it will work.
@@patriciacorpe6228 thanks you’re right 👍
Patricia thank you for sharing this! I'm getting ready to start up my pantry and I was thinking of doing the same thing with $20 but was still on the fence about it. Now after hearing how good it worked for you that's exactly what I'm going to do now! Thank you again so much!
I usually buy an extra of something we always use. Except the storm prep...diff things that don't need cooked per se. Powdered Gatorade/milk. Water.
On the quesadillas if you will save 1 cup of the sloppy Joe lentils you cooked and add them to the rice mixture and some extra taco seasoning it’s a go to staple for me now!
Sounds interesting and a good way to consume lentils. 😊
For the corndogs - use the MINI muffin pans. The ones that are like baby size. It does work good and is easier. 👍👍
Cleaning your sheet pan: spray with oven cleaner. Cover with plastic wrap. Pat the plastic wrap down into the oven cleaner so that there is no air and the cleaner stays wet. Leave sit 1 hour to 24 hours depending on level of blackness and how much lack of scrubbing you wanna do. LOL 😂👍 👍
Most of my family is in E TN and W NC, I have kin in Cocke Co and Jefferson Co. We mountain people know how to eat cheap and tastey. I live out west now but I still live like my granny and momma taught me. People don't have to eat expensive to eat good.
You are the bomb girl. So impressed with your skills, your attitude and your adventurous nature. I am 74 and am a home cook. There are so many young and old women who would benefit greatly from you. Thanks
I LOVE your long videos!! Thank you for showing us your "not so successful" attempts at new recipes. It makes me not feel so bad when my kids tell me my macaroni surprise is "sus". 🤣🤣🤣
"ok, these are the ugliest stinkin' corn dogs I have ever seen" that line just cracked me up!!! They looked delicious!!! Love to watch your videos Brooke!
Made fried apples with butter cinnamon and a little honey. The kids are were all so impressed!! They had no idea the apples were past their prime. 😆Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. 💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
One of my Mom’s favorite stretch recipes is Hamburger Stew. Just hamburger. Onion, carrots, potatoes, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, tomato soup, can of V8 and her secret, a can of bean and bacon soup. Makes a huge meal. We serve with saltines and slices of cheddar cheese on the side. Adjust amount if meat and cans of soup to size if your family. 1lb if meat and 1 can each with a can or two if water made dinner for four with seconds or lunch. It freezes well too. It’s that Bean Soup that makes it smoky and yummy.
Secret to crispy homemade corn dogs…. Dip them in a mixture of flour and corn starch before dipping in the wet mix!!! Also helps it to adhere to the weenie!!! Highly recommend using the stick as you discovered! It’s best with homemade cornbread mixture… I promise the flour and corn starch will make a world of difference!!!
You're a smart, resourceful mom using lentils. They are such a good, economical protein and so many ways to use them.
OMG -- that is a BIG stack of groceries for only $35! Especially in this day and time! Well done. xo
As far as"cheese" goes we do what we have too, the people that get mad about what kind of cheese you use are lucky they have a choice Not everyone does, just sayin. You always do a great job!
I love these budget videos! You are so fun and real and I get good ideas from you.
Thank you so much for this! I am a family of 8 and I'm constantly looking for ways to make "cheap" meals! I am not good at just coming up with recipes but you have inspired me to at least try!!
One of the many reasons that I've gotten into watching your channel is that I've been looking for ideas for meals made with a lot of shelf stable ingredients to start stocking up on for both emergencies and for camping. The less items I have to pack last minute in a cooler, that I also have to worry about keeping ice for, the better. Also, camping is a great way to test out meals we could make in an emergency situation as well as keeping my pantry stock rotated. I think it would be awesome to see you combine your amazing creativity with putting meals together and camping trips with your husband. (I'd probably cringe at the tarp idea, but tent camping is cool!) The reason we have gotten into camping in the first place it that it is the most affordable way to get the family out of the house, so combining that with budget cooking is a win win! I never thought I'd want to learn how to can, but the canned meats, especially bacon, would be so much easier to camp with than raw meat! Anyway, I think you are absolutely adorable and I love how real you are! Your videos never get boring to watch, and I've been sick for a week and totally binging them. Thank you for sharing!
Have you ever made potato and hot dog soup? Emeril said his mother made this for him as a young boy. Also, corn soup is soo good.
Sounds great! Can you share recipe please or just general directions? Would love to try
@@susanjoseph236 This is his recipe from his cookbook “20/40/60, Fresh Food Fast”:
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces Turkey hot dogs, cut into 1/2” thick rounds
1 Cup thinly sliced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1 1/4-1 1/2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1” cubes
1 quart chicken stock or canned, low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cup finely diced tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy Cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Heat oil in 2 quart saucepan, add hot dogs to hot oil. Cook stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized on both sides, about 3 minutes. Remove them from pan and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is wilted and the garlic is fragrant ( about 4 minutes). Add the thyme and sage and sauté for 1 minute. Add the potatoes, chicken stock, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes).
Remove bay leaf, using immersion blender or regular blender( in batches) purée soup u til smooth.
Return hot dogs to the soup and add the tomatoes, heavy cream and chopped parsley. Reward gently and serve hot.
Note: please use caution when blending hot liquids; blend only small amounts at a time, with blender tightly covered and a kitchen towel held over the top.
I am sure you can use any brand or type of hot dog you want. If you do not have cream could make a small roux to thicken it( I use bacon drippings at times). Also I use my own chicken broth and dried herbs if I do not have fresh, but I always brown the hot dogs. Just adds more flavor.
Corn soup is soo good. I sauté some onion and celery diced in some butter. Put aside. Cook your potatoes that are diced in chicken broth until partially cooked( I use chicken bouillon for my broth). Now add as much flour as you did butter to the pan you cooked the vegetables in. Cook on med low heat to combine the butter and flour( whisk is good for this),cook for a few seconds to get raw flour taste out. Now add the chicken broth that potatoes were cooked in, little at a time until it gives you a creamy soup like consistency. Add the potatoes and a splash of heavy cream or milk. Add some salt and pepper if you want...just remember that if using bouillon it is salty. This is so good on a cold day. I like my soup not thin, but not real thick. Somewhere in between. If you refrigerate any leftover soup, you will need to add a little water to reheat it on low heat. This soup is good served with crusty bread and a salad ( I make breadsticks out of hot dog buns).
If you ever have any of the chicken broth leftover from potatoes, keep to make a white gravy or pot pie out of. The more you can layer your dishes with flavors it will help keep from having to use up your ingredients and spices and herbs. If I cook bacon in my 13/9/2 baking dish, I drain off the drippings in a jar and keep in refrigerator for later uses. Then I cook my chicken and rice casserole in baking dish I cooked my bacon in. Just another layer of flavor.
@@nancyculp6968 thank you so much! I can't wait to try it.God Bless
Thank you for helping us get thru the tough times! God Bles y'all. You and your family are great!!
Girl you r awesome! I always cook to much and am learning more about portion control from u. U are so fortunate that your family is so willing to eat such a variety of foods. Thanks so much for all you do and are so happy to share with us!
We have the same problem in our house. You'd think we were cooking for an army lol thankfully, we have some hungry neighbors who don't mind eating our leftovers lol
I was thinking the same. My kids are not necessarily too picky. But some of things I've seen made, my kids won't eat. & Then I myself an my daughter are lactose intolerant. So that makes it harder too.
Oh my gosh, some of my favorite foods! Lentil sloppy Joe’s, FRIED CORN, potato soup. I also use my leftover sloppy lentils on baked potatoes (pork n beans also works). Having spices and other pantry items is a must. Ya did it mama!
WOW I really Love Your Channel, You have really helped me with meals when my budget is low. Your Channel is truly a Blessing. Thank You ❤️
I’m so happy to hear that!! Thank you for your support and all your kindness!!
I have what most people call strange recipe for what i call tuna pie ( the original recipe had you bake it in a muffin pan so they were really tuna muffins) and it’s rather tasty (don’t knock it til you try i was always taught)!
1 small can tuna
2 c cooked rice
2 T milk
2 eggs beaten
1/2 -1 c grated cheese
1 T dried parsley
1 T dried onions
1 t season salt
Mix together and bake 375*
Muffins 15 minutes pie pan 25-30 minutes
Thanks for sharing this recipe.I need to try it
Thanks, what a great idea
My comfort food is split pea soup with ham and homemade crusty bread…yummy!! I’m a multi task person at heart so that’s something even in my retired life is hard to give up😊. I so appreciate you and Paul and always enjoy your messages in each and every video!!! Thank you!!!💕💕
"These are the ugliest stinking corn dogs I've ever seen" LOL I needed that laugh Brooke. All the meals were great .Thanks for sharing with us.
Brooke I would not have thought to make manwhich out of lentils! Thanks for sharing!
When we were in the military years ago! I always kept a full pantry of beans ( every kind) and rice and boxed potatoes, pastas, canned meats ( tuna, canned chicken, spam and lots of soups) . We ate fresh produce at the beginning of the month then ate canned and boxed toward the end of the month! We never missed a meal! My husband was a hunter and kept us in wild game and fish, which help the budget immensely!
This was fun. My mom made rice pudding with evaporated milk without adding water. It was delicious. My was a great cook. I miss her cooking.
You can make your own evaporated milk from powdered milk or by gently simmering milk until it reduces by 1/2. Much cheaper than cans.
Your family is so lucky to have you and all your great-looking cooking!!!
Its important for ppl to feel like their budget doesn't boss them around. If you have a meal planned that everyone isn't feeling. A well stocked pantry, that's ok pick something else or if you do decide to eat out or buy something special it won't hurt to do that. It's a guide line. If you don't want t eat something you don't have to.
Another savings tip is to use part lentils to cut the ground meat costs down. Especially if your family is picky about new things.
I love the lentil sloppy joe. I just wanted to share that my mom would fry up “ home fries” and make a sandwich out of them during Easter when we tend not to eat meat on Fridays and those home fries sandwiches were delicious.
I went over and subscribed to your husband's channel. I still cook like this for myself. I call my meals, kill a hunger meals but they are always tasty.
Love how real this menu actually is
It's amazing what one can do with rice, beans, and spices!!
We eat American cheese all the time! The haters can suck it. Great video as always Brooke! You’ve given me some great ideas to try this week.
I think the American cheese that does not come individually wrapped is a little tastier. You can get a 3 lb package at Walmart for a reasonable price. Bring it home, wrap smaller quantities in Press n Seal. It will keep for months. Good for sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, and homemade queso, etc. I think you could save money by buying in bulk some times. I would also like to see you use more whole grains. I love your videos.
I was so happy to see the pink salt and the pure cane sugar at Dollar Tree. I have gotten over my fear of buying food at Dollar Tree.I made the beef stew from the other video over the weekend, it was delicious. I am keeping that one in my head for the future. It was so easy and so good. 🙂
Their sausage at dollar tree is pretty tasty. Farmer John I think.
The lady behind me checking out had 3 bags of the pink salt...I thought I wonder if she watches Brooke
At Walmart 4 pounds sugar for $2.99. Same quantity from Dollar Store $5. Dollar store almost always costs more! Please check prices before buying. We go through 40 pounds of sugar a year so buying at Walmart saves $20/year. It all adds up. Dollar store spices are also very expensive when you consider price per ounce. Cheaper places for spices are Costco or ethnic grocery stores especially Indian or Mexican.
@@happycook6737 I don’t shop at Dollar General or Family Dollar, they are always more expensive. I will shop Dollar Tree, they are cheaper. Regular sugar I get at Walmart, I buy the 25 pound bag because it’s cheaper to buy it that way. I make alot of sweet tea, so it makes more sense for me to buy it that way.
the meals look great. corn dogs are a treat around here, you made it look easy. thank you for sharing.
Over the last week I have been binge watching your budget cooking. I like how you include the grocery haul before doing the actual meals. Because of different areas having different price structures, I think it would be kind of helpful if when you are telling us what you bought if you would include the price of the item. I think this would be really helpful when people are looking at a video that is older to see just how much food has gone up. (I realize that you can't go back and update the older videos, but I have never really know a business to lower prices to the price of years ago ((Unless they have overpriced something to the point people just won't buy it)).
In years past, I always tried to keep a well stocked pantry, and would cook mainly from that, and new purchases would mostly be of items that were on sale. However this year brought severe changes, which resulted in me giving away a lot of items that I had stock piled, and am now trying to rebuild. As you could imagine a lot of basic items are causing sticker shock, some being more than double in price compared to what I had stocked them at. There are many items I refuse to buy, because of the current prices, and perhaps this is because I am older, the new prices just do not justify what you are getting. (And as I eluded to earlier) I feel that if enough people refuse to buy certain Items it will force some items to come down in price.
Anyway, keep up the good video making, and please consider including item prices.
Thanks, Ed
Did you know watching the ads on youtube helps Brooke earn a tiny amount of money over time? Consider watching the ads :)
didn't realize this until we started our own channel. Now I watch all the ads. She is fantastic. Thanks for reminding people to watch the ads. She puts a lot of effort into these videos! ❤
I use the ad time to use the bathroom or to make another cup of coffee ❤
Thank u for these videos! I’m shopping smarter and saving money! Making more stuff with what I have in the house now. U have such a beautiful family and the kids r so darn cute! Loving the little one, “passing out,” when he loves his momma’s food lol
Hi this is the first time I visited your channel I think your great, economical meals for families and singles and people on a tight budget.
A real momma! love watching
Thank you so for your channel. You and your family are definitely a blessing for many individuals. May God continue to bless you and your family
You’re cracking me up in this one with your silliness!
She thick boy!
Reasons for the way you are
I love that y’all are real, and honest. I think it’s nuts that people get angry about the cheese you use.
Thank you for all the efforts from your family, including your taste testers
I know. You’d think some people had never had to eat cheese food slices. 😂
Make a stew. Cube up the tenderloin, In a bowl, flour seasonings, add the cube meat to the flour mix. Add a bit of water and oil to a med pot. Add the meat covered in flour and seasonings. Add some broth, can of tomatoes, cubed potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, salt and pepper. You can also add corn. To thicken, add cornstarch, Simmer all day. The meat will be tender. Two nights dinner.
That rice pudding looks delicious. My mom used to make it and I loved it, but I have never made it. Your rice/corn tacos looked great too. Your last meal looks amazing with that skillet corn and those potatoes and the pork medallions too. I have never made boiled potatoes, but it's happening the next time potatoes are a side dish. I am in awe at how many great meals you stretched that dollar out to. You've given me many meal ideas that I can use at my house too. Thanks!
Boiled ‘taters were darn near a staple at my mamas house… try ‘em you’ll love ‘em!! ♥️
I like to use lentils in place of ground beef all the time. A great way to keep meals in a budget.
And lentils are so much healthier than beef!!!
This was the best budget video's I have seen and been looking at them for a while! Thank YOU!!!!! Your family is awesome being open minded and wonderful thankful kids!!! BTW silly Mom to Mom budget help. When I get cheap tortilla's like you did, anything I put in them my kids will eat and it's good! PB and J, PB and banana Toasted or not, cream cheese and jam, tuna/ chicken/ canned or shrimp salad cold or a melt, any left over meat and veggies with or without cheese, just add a dipping sauce, meatloaf, eggs and anything, lunch meat and cheese or veggies, rice and beans toasted, cold salads even three bean, stuffing and potato dipped in gravy after toasting, leftover meatballs n shake parm, or just leftover spaghetti and cheese/ parm or melted, lentils and rice, Obviously you get it. I just wanted to share many of the things to help someone else think about it. I never even oil the pan. Just make quesadilla's on a dry frying pan.
If you make them in mini muffin pan it's a little more red to Hot dog ratio or if you use the standard size muffin pan just put two hot dogs in it
Thanks, Brooke. I appreciate your channel so much. God has blessed you with a talent for this. My family is enjoying all the new meals we are eating, and I'm appreciating the budget friendly part as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
À
I know this is an older video but I really wanted to comment. Since I’ve found your channel, I have binged watched it. When I saw you take the potato peels and bake them for a snack, it really hit home. My mother grew up in a large, poor family. She would tell me how she did these with the peels when they were really hungry. Thank you for your content.
I get so excited when I see a new video from you pop up. You are amazing at low cost meals. I would love to see a whats for dinner video (what you fix for dinner all week long). God Bless!!
You did a fantastic job. I really love watching you. I can not believe how many recipes you can come up with with very little items
Lentils added to the rice could be added to quesadillas ... I think people need to realize that you need to adjust your taste to your budget....we love cheese...great video
You are so creative Brooke! Your lentil sloppy joes look really good especially seeing your husband eating one and liking it.
I make my creamy rice in the oven I use the recipe from a popular cookbook here in Australia called " 5 Ingredients " it calls for 1 litre of milk 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, vanilla and 1 cup of rice and you cook it for 2 hours on low in the oven. Thank you for the great content please keep making realist budget videos.
With the tacos, cooked onion, or onion powder, manwich tacos and lettuce, sliced cheese. Shepard pie, tomatoes and macaroni with onions,tuna and cheese.
Oh my gosh, so many good ideas!! Love what you did with the tater peals. You can boil apple skins, by the way, with cloves and cinnamon and the like, and make an awesome apple tea.😊
Amazing! You know how to make that grocery budget stretch and the meals are all normal and tasty, nothing skimpy. For people who have a tiny bit more wiggle room, they could always add something to the meal if they feel the need. I like all those meals. Good reminder that simple is best! Gonna try the corn dogs, also the tater skins. Never thought of that!
One of my very favorite meals is Baked potato and salad! Love it.❤️❤️
I do a manwich bake. Make manwich according to package directions. Make a batch of jiffy corn bread according to the directions and dump it on top of the manwich and just bake it. Super yummy so I bet you could do this with the lentils.
That was an awesome budget meal week, Brooke! You're blessing so many with your channel and I hope you feel the love ten fold. Dusty's 1st video was great. I subbed. Have a glorious week my Sutherland squad! xoxo
This weekend at the store I was like your son that passes out when he enjoys your food. I wasn't enjoying myself just in shock.😒 Thank you for these video's your helping alot of families out. 😘
No joke. I spent $800 for this month. I'm still in shell shock. I've gone over my receipt multiple times a d I just can't process the prices.
As a fellow East Tn. Woman I always enjoy your videos. I too shop at multiple stores. Love the DT. Going to Sam's tomorrow for TP, paper towels, etc. Then to Walmart. May stop by Aldi if I have time. It's been rainy here for days. Keep up the good work!
You are SO creative! I love these videos as I get such good ideas on how to stretch food and a budget. Thank you! Also love to see your boys reviewing the food. They are such great reviewers!
I love making lentil soup served with cheese toast.😋😛. Yum!
Great video as usual honey.Lentil sloppy Joe's were a favorite when my kids were small and still are with just hubby and I sometimes on elbow macaroni to change it up. Also when times were extra tough made rice with just butter n brown sugar for breakfast or a sweet snack. Love and God Bless to all
That was me today! Sweater in the morning and a dress in the afternoon! Indiana weather 😜
My mom used to call that last one "lazy man potatoes". She probably got that from her grandma who raised her kids through the depression. I would not have thought to do some things like you do but I will try them now!
WOW Brooke, you did great for $35! I also subbed to Dusty's channel. Much love to you both! Oh I miss squirrel hunting with my dad. Chicken of the tree LOL!!
I didn't know Dusty had a channel too! Can you please tell me the name of his channel?

@@heatherchrisco9106 you're welcome
This was your best budget week yet! Thank you for the ideas and inspiration. 🎉❤😊
We spent a few food panty years really struggling with four kids. I remember the morning I realized I was down to absolutely nothing. I had to call a church. Ever let yourself get down to nothing. Stock up when you can. Don’t forget medicine and cleaning supplies
Oh my goodness those little corn dogs look so good. I'll be trying to make them!
How i started stocking up is with focus hope mine,other restaurants that didn't want there's, so I'm still stocked and keep on adding to my stock pile.
We even get free produce,breadevery week for free brought to us in our senior building.
How absolutely inventive,frugal and tasty ! How dare anybody criticize you ! Pox on them !..you do such a fabulous job with all your ideas ! I taught all my kids to bake bread as well as cook..I still make bread for about 25 cents per loaf and 12 tortillas for 60 cents a dozen for big flour ones ,and 30 cents for 30 corn tortillas..I also taught them to form food coops with friends and split orders...works very well..dry beans and legumes really stretch the food budget..Your videos are a huge help and inspiration !❤❤❤❤❤
Brooke ive become addicted to watching ur videos. You have helped me so much with budget meals. Feeding a family of six over here. Lol. You're family is beautiful as well .
I’ve been craving corn dogs. Why? No idea, we don’t often eat such stuff, but I have drooled over them in the store for the last several weeks. Watching you make these right now. Light bulb moment. I have dogs from a summer sale in the freezer. I have cornbread mix, bought two for beans, only made one. This week, we WILL have corn dogs. I have many pantry/freezer items to make with them! Maybe frozen green beans baked and then sprinkled with parm cheese! Next to a few handfuls of tots. Yup! Grown up grilled cheese and tomato soup tonight. Corn dogs tomorrow. Side salads each day. Yumm! Feeling a little kiddish this week.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm super excited that you're actually more local and realistic! Can't find many southern mamas that do the cookung videos! You got a new subscriber!
I really enjoy watching you! You keep it real and don't make me feel out of place.
Cream of Tuna - Butter and flour and make a roux...add the tuna then add milk to the mixture. Should look like white "biscuit sausage" gravy. Cook until it thickens a little then eat over toast for open face sandwich.
If you finely chopped an apple and throw it in your salad you will love it and for dressing all you would need is olive oil, salt and pep fork your liking!
You know what might be good? Sloppy joe taquitos (technically floutas because those are flour tortillas.. I think... Anyway.) stuff and roll like a small burrito. I like to nuke the tortillas for 10 secs to make it really pliable. Then, deep fry 3 mins or bake.. 10 or so. Be a "different" way to do them. I also make my own sloppy sauce but I kinda cheat. I just use some bell pepper, onion and bbq sauce. they make tomato sauce with onion, peppers and celery, just a spoon full of brown sugar or bbq would work too. Also be really good on baked taters.
My mom always used evaporated milk in her mashed potatoes. When I and my siblings were young we made our Mac and cheese with the cheese slices . Boil the pasta and when it’s done remove some of the water then put the cheese slices in the macaroni and melt the cheese . Mac and cheese
Yes, save those condiments! I even have leftover mustard and mayo packets in our go bags.
I would make the roast the pork tenderloin and make apple sauce out of the rest of the apples. Add the corn and sliced cucumbers as sides; you could also bake the potato's with the roasted tenderloin.
This was absolutely amazing. You are so creative. Made several notes for my budget cooking.
