      Step up the tomatoes sauce by adding the tomatoe paste after onions are soft and dry herbs cook out. The oil will really develop the flavors.
      Then add chicken stock and then tomatoes.
      Give it a try... you will be impressed by what the order of ingredients does.

    I’m so glad you incorporated frozen and/or fresh veggies into your meals. Many budget recipe videos seem so unhealthy or don’t use veggies or fruit, and I really like that you’re being mindful of that in this video. Thanks, these are great meal ideas!

      Usually people who make budget meals think of quantity, not quality. If they were to make quality and eat less it still works out. It isn't really the recipe makers fault. Food insecurity causes it. I'm using these recipes to help me with food insecurity.

    The last recipe my mom used to make regularly. She called it "Cowboy Salad" . The base was the same as yours but she would top it with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, olives and sour cream. Then drizzle Catalina dressing on top. It was actually really good! Forgot about until now.

    Tostadas are a childhood classic! If you've got a nice sunny window to grow herbs, fresh cilantro is a perfect addition. When I cook with bay leaves I always serve with the bay leaf still in. Whoever gets it in their bowl is supposed to receive good luck :)

    I'm a household of one. Cooking for me is so unappealing, so much so that I've eaten out for like, the past 5 years straight. Your channel is not only budget friendly (and not just saying you are and then actually buying several expensive ingrdients), it makes cooking for 1 less of a chore, less hard for me to accept spending a lot at the store for just me (don't know why I have guilt?), and it's keeping me from going out and eating crap.

    You always have such great recipes! Wanted to mention for any who like the flavor of meat, but maybe it's out of the budget for every meal, save the grease from cooking sausage or ground beef, etc. You can use it to cook something else, or use it to help flavor a rice/veggie dish (my favorite use). Cook with the rice in the water, or mix into the rice when it's done with whatever herbs and spices make you happy.

    We have taco meat about once a month. It’s a treat for my family because taco meat is very expensive. We have the first meal you made often but just make bean and cheese pizzas.
