    They all looked good BUT…that number 3 meal: chicken Alfredo on the Garlic loaf was the BOMB. Barbara.

    Great hack - put a warm rotissere chicken in a gallon size bag - close it up and knead the chicken - the meat falls off the bone......a lot less mess! :)

    We do not eat out. Every time I add up what it would cost I freak. I can cook for a week on 1 night out. We save that for special occasions. I have made so many of your recipes on a budget. Yep. All good. There are only 3 of us and we are not afraid to eat leftovers or repurpose leftovers to make it different.

      I love pizza, but I refuse to pay the price for a large pizza! I learn how to make a pizza sauce, that I absolutely love, and I keep cheese on hand, and my bread machine makes the dough for me! And I actually like it better than restaurant pizza❤❤❤😊

    When we get a $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco, I take the leftover skin and bones, cook it in a pot of water for an hour or two.......for bone broth

  • @christinej2358
    @christinej2358 7 місяців тому +5

    Two tips for you to try. 1. When using a bag salad mix sprinkle it with a little salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. It makes it taste just like fancy restaurant salads. Adding the toppers you did is a big plus too. 2. Put your whole warm rotisserie chicken in a large zip lock bag and then gentle squeeze or massage it. The meat comes right off the bones entirely. It’s the best tip I ever learned. I enjoy your quick meals segments.

    It use to cost my husband and I $20-$30 when we go out. It was always the same thing. We thought for our anniversary this year would go out since it’s been a long time. It was more than double the costs. When they gave us the final cost and it was over $60 my heart fell though the floor.

    If you have a juicy pre-sliced fruit that nobody's eating in the house (which ends up drying out a bit on the table), you can blend/dice it up to make as a marinade/sauce for anything. It's not unheard of, since pineapple is known as a meat tenderizer (common paring of ham and pineapple in dishes). I know a few Korean dishes that calls for Asian apple/pear for their grilled bbq beef slices for stove-top cooking. Or, orange juice plus lemon juice as part of marinade for Mexican fajitas.

      Iffy jars are discarded. What to do with the strained chicken and vegetables? I pick the chicken and salvage the vegetables I may cut smaller but why waste it? Then I put in zip lock bags and make soup or freeze. This is not salted so you can now add your bouillon and water and controll your sodium. I use the stock that I made for anything you would use chicken broth for. It adds a lot of flavor.

    I'm at 6:57 and you have totally blown my mind, Brooke!
    A rotisserie chicken cheaper than a whole uncooked chicken!
    Will hold me back and house me down!
    Here in Australia a rotisserie chicken costs $12.00 and is - on average - only 2kg in weight! That's $6/kg or roughly $2.73/lb...
    On the other hand...
    A whole roasting chicken is only $4.50/kg...
    WWAAAYYYY better value!
    I find it so interesting how different countries price and subsidise certain foods!
    We have to pay tax on prepared food but not on raw ingredients! So we have to pay a 10% tax on the rotisserie chicken but no tax on the whole unprepared roasting chook! (Having said THAT... Or prices are tax-inclusive, so you never have to guess when you get to the checkout)!

      @@SouthernFrugalMomma you've got me thinking about trying to do a cost comparison!
      That would make for a great video... Budget foods from around the world and how they differ!
      Select, say, 10 frugal ingredients... Then compare the first if this same ingredients across continents/countries!
      And then, maybe, what the locals would substitute instead if the more "expensive" ingredient.
