I’m a 25 yo living by myself struggling with grocery prices and knowing what to buy at the grocery store, your channel has been super helpful in helping me think of meals and keep to my budget at the grocery store. I really appreciate your calm presence and all that you do for this channel!!
Julia is amazing especially for low costs meals. Fit frugal mom is another person you should follow if you are wanting low cost healthy meals. I follow both for great grocery saving meals.
Make sure you utilize pantries around you. Also, look in your area for free groups. Lots of those groups you can post along for food help. Rally around your fellow neighbors.
My husband and I are older and have just faced the worst financial crisis of our lives. I lost my job in June, my husband was in a horrific car accident in July (car totaled but he escaped with only minor injuries). He lost his job in August. The house we were renting was being sold so we were forced to move at the end of September. We have both found new jobs within the last month and are slowly recovering financially. Throughout this ordeal God has shown Himself to be so faithful. Your UA-cam channel has been one of those blessings. We’ve enjoyed many of your recipes and have been able to stretch what little finances we had to keep us fed for four full months. Thank you for all you do. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Asking God to restore you financially, healthwise and in any other way you need. Julia has helped so many of us keep our families well fed during tight times.
Even adding the eggs, milk and butter you need to that would keep it still extremely affordable for the amount of food. Oh Julia, you definitely saved someone's Christmas with this video. You're an angel. 💕
Yeah for sure. If you get those items at Aldi, it would be $2 for eggs, $2.75 for 4 sticks of butter and a quart of whole milk for $1.65. so under $30 total with those items
We're not struggling financially but I just appreciate your videos so much. You have the sweetest and most humble personality and I love that you're never click-baiting, you ACTUALLY do full and nutritious meals for under $X. It's impressive!
I’m 59 and for the first time in my adult life I just had to apply for food stamps. Things have been a little bit tough for a while and I’m so tired of struggling!! Julia….you are a beautiful reflection of Gods whole heart❤
Well, that is just the kindest thing ever. Thank you so very much for that wonderful compliment, Tina. And I’m so sorry to hear that. your finances are not where you would like them right now. I definitely hope that these ideas help and take care of yourself, my friend💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing that you have been on Food Stamps and WIC. Many people are ashamed of asking for help, but they shouldn't be. Government programs exist to help us when we need it and we should not be afraid of using those resources.
Julia, you're one of the sweetest people on UA-cam. You're a wonderful wife and mother, and very accomplished in publishing your cookbook. We're all so grateful we found your channel. God bless you and your family and have a wonderful Christmas. 🎄
I hope you know that you are immeasurably helpful to those who are struggling in so many ways. You are more than a mom, a cook, a YTer - you are an innovator who understands real life. The work struggle, the physical struggle, the mental struggle, the family struggle, the health struggle, etc. Your life is so much more than raising kids and cooking as you inspire all of us in all things. Thank you for all you understand and do.
Oh my goodness! That is just the best compliment ever. Thank you so very much for taking the time to send me such a nice comment. I appreciate it so much! And I love and appreciate each one of you as well. You are all the best! I love what I do and I sure do love my viewers like you.💜💜💜
Julia, you are already helping every one of us out every day by sharing your menus and your story. I love this menu. For comparison, while you were shopping I was also building a shopping cart at my local Walmart (Upstate NY) and my total was close- $19.51 (my potatoes were $.92 higher). They did not have the same brand of ham but I found a comparable ham same weight. As a former public health nurse, I have worked with the elderly and with young struggling families. Channels like yours, Rebecca's Dollar Tree Dinners, and That Lisa Dawn, are changing lives one family at a time. You are removing the stigma and restoring dignity for those who live in food deserts and those on a tight budget.
Thank you so much for your UA-cam videos. My husband and I are retired and are on a limited budget, with your budget friendly recipes, I have cut my food budget in half. It has been such a blessing. The recipes are so easy to prepare and so flavorful. Thank you again and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I wanted to put on a Christmas dinner for my dad and brother at my house, but we've been skimping financially to get out of our debts and I couldn't afford to make a big meal. Turns out I was wrong ! Thanks so much for this video, I can't wait to make it !
After your holiday dinner, make that ham do double duty! Take the bone and some leftover pieces of ham to make a pot of ham and beans. Cheap and so delicious!
Add some ham pieces to the green beans and have great flavor. Also, add a can of cream corn to the corn casserole and a stick if butter and you don't need to add eggs
If you are on the fence about the cookbook, pull the trigger now! It is a great gift to put in your own stocking. I hand mine over to my kids and I tell them “pick something and cook it for us one day this week please” (they are older teens and young 20s). Thank you, Julia, for passing on all that you learned to another generation. What a gift to go out in the world with some meals for four under your belt!
That is such wonderful feedback! I am so happy to hear that your kids are enjoying using my cookbook. What a great way to teach them too! Good for you. Thank you so much for your great shout out, Becky and I appreciate you and your loyal support❤️🎄
I lost my fiance 10/19 and im due to have his baby any day now. I was due 12/12 (my first and only now) Ive been subscribed for a long time now, but recently have felt like these videos are going to help me so much more than ever now. Budgeting is the number 1 thing right now, not being able to work this last week and for the new few weeks at least.. on top of taking care of all financials myself now. It's all majorly stressful in the grand scheme of things, but knowing this channel is here to help with the grocery aspect takes a little weight off my shoulders so thank you.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope you have a community of family & friends that you can go to in this time of need. I can't imagine the emotions you are feelings. But I think your baby will help give you strength to get through it. Plus you'll always have a piece of him with you. 😇
Julia, I've been lower income for so long, and spent many years as a food service worker. I predicted by your grocery haul exactly where you were heading with this meal. Thank you for all the advice you give, especially to those of us who have relied on WIC and food assistance. You are my Holiday angel.
Great haul. As the Ham and Potatoes will be used for more meals than just the holiday dinner one option is to estimate the amount used add it to the $2 you were under and buy 2 more bags of Vegetables or in my case Squash, Turnip and Cranberry Sauce. Thank you for sharing your struggle. You deserve the success your channel has had. You are hard working, kind, and humble. Blessings to all❤ 0
I love when you say, “trust me”. You will never steer the viewers wrong. You know your stuff. I just love that you are signing your cookbooks and putting gift cards in some. A sweet surprise.
I rushed home from work when you first released your cookbook. Your recipes have saved my bacon (LOL). I am 65 years old and worked a very stressful job and your recipes are my go-to. You have worked so hard, and you deserve being in a better place. We love you and look forward to every video. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family.
Good morning! My birthday cook book arrived and I was thrilled. I wasn’t sad I didn’t get a gift card: I’m hopeful that someone needs it more than I do receives one. I’m so grateful we’ve had a good year. Happy holidays!
For those who want to make homemade gravy on a budget, all you made is the following: 1/4 cup flour, small onion, can of broth ($0.76), oil, salt, and pepper. You can add other spices if you wish. This would still be under the $20 budget. There was a time I had no job, no place to live, and alone. So I know what it's like, but God saw me through. He is real, so everyone be encouraged. 🙏🏽 Julia keep on being a blessing and God will bless you and your family. ❤
@tonibully4090 . You don’t even need that ! All my grandmother did was use the pan drippings and add a little bit of flour and very little water to the flour and shake it up and add it to the pan drippings and there you go ! Homemade gravy!
Your appreciation for your subscribers is so sweet. We can really feel how grateful you are. Your hard work and dedication to your channel and career has really paid off. You deserve all the success! You are providing a wonderful life for your family and are a great example for your children. Merry Christmas and God Bless!❤️🎄
Oh, Ashley, thank you so very much! I appreciate your kind words and your positive support. It really means the world to me! Thank you so much again my friend and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week💛
Wow! What a menu for so little money! You did great! I have been with you for the entire 5 years and have watched you grow and grow! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
My local grocery store has ham on sale at .79 & . 99 cents per pound.. They had the same sale on Thanksgiving week. I bought two hams and two turkeys which were also on sale.. Buying two hams this week as well as two pork shoulders which are on sale for $ 1.29 per pound.. Always stock up when I find a good sale… Happy Holidays to everyone.❤❤❤
@@lashortyislabonita623 yeah obviously but it was like $300 over the course of three months which, I spend at least $300 a week so it's not hard to do.
Sweet Julia!! How very generous of you to give back to the UA-cam community. I remember first watching one of your extreme budget videos when you had just over 100K subscribers. Your channel has continued to grow & thrive bc you are truly a wonderful person. I'm not financially able to buy your cookbook right now, but I'm sure whoever buys it will be super impressed.
We (My 2 teenagers and I) made the Thanksgiving dinner you posted and everyone ❤ it. We are going to do this dinner for Christmas as it takes out the guess work❤❤❤ 🙏🏼 thank you
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family. We are blessed to have someone dedicated to helping families in these hard times. I'm definitely trying the ham recipe for Christmas. God bless you!
Julia, you are so honest. I love that you share your real story and what you and your husband went through to get where you are now. So very happy for you and thankful you are doing so well! Your talent and compassion are amazing! 💗
I'm a child free lady and probably not generally in your target demographic, but I find your simple and quick recipes easy to follow and much appreciated! Wish I had found something like this 15 yrs ago when first starting out life in an apartment haha. I have a dog and am now single and no longer sharing the mortgage, so savings on food is helpful for the budget! I recommend you in the various financial groups (especially women's) I'm in and just ordered your cookbook! Your kind personality shows through your videos, I'm so happy for your success and wish you much more!
Well, thank you so very much for your positive feedback! And I’m so happy to have you. I have all kinds of viewers. Not just families. I’m so glad to hear that my recipes help you so much and I bet you’ve been able to use some of the budgeting ideas as well. I get that for sure! Thanks so much again my friend and I appreciate your kind words.💜💜💜
You have to be the SWEETEST UA-camr I have ever seen ... I love seeing your videos and learning from you. I appreciate you. So much. The time and energy you put into each video I feel like it's with LOVE and caring and wanting to help. And I truly appreciate that. And my family appreciates you so much. Because you are teaching me to be a better cook and how to handle these trying times. With inflation. Is there a way I could get a sticker with your signature so I can stick it in my cookbook. Cause that would be the best Christmas gift ever! Thank you again. I appreciate you.
Oh, Crystal, thank you so very much!! And I absolutely love the sticker idea. Ha ha. That would be an awesome idea. So sorry I wasn’t able to sign yours. But I sure do appreciate you purchasing one of my cookbooks. I sure hope you’re enjoying it and thank you so very much for all of your positive feedback. It means the world to me💜💜
@@JuliaPacheco I love how easy to read and understand. It doesn't have a lot of out there kind of ingredients. I love how you put yourself into your book. I feel like I am cooking with you in the kitchen and we are two friends working together. Ya know
I really appreciate how concise your videos are. I get a little exasperated with the people who film chopping, peeling and all the things we know how to do. I look forward to Sunday mornings with you
Awe Julia you are truly a child of God! A beautiful giving soul ❤ It has been such a blessing to have found your channel and to have been able to watch you grow! God bless you, and Merry Christmas 🙏❤️🌲🎁❄️
I really love your affordable recipes. I've had hard times when I wish you had been around when my kids were little, but you would have been a little girl yourself then 😊. It's so good that you are there for all the people who are struggling with the cost of living crisis we are in atm. I'd love to buy your cookbook but alas, I live in Cheshire, England so I have saved so many of your videos to my cooking playlist. God bless you and your lovely family ❤
That's so awesome you're able to & willing to help those in need simply bc you know how if feels to struggle. It's hard to struggle & not to tell anyone.
Omg a signed book!? That’s so cool! Nobody takes the time to do that - it’s the little details that make you far superior. You take the time to thank us when we want to thank you! You are so sweet and humble and I think I speak for all when I say that we love your videos. Thanks for sharing your life and recipes with all of us, always looking forward to a new video it’s just so comforting and “homey” 😊 I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday and new year! I ordered another book for Xmas to give to my cousin who lives in LA and it’s just her and her bf but so many meals they would absolutely love!! Thanks Julia ❤
Julia, you are such a lovely young lady. I have watched your channel for quite some time. I am whole-food-plant-based and I can always find something to make or tweak on your channel. Honestly, I watch it just for your cheery demeanor. I love the way you speak as if you are almost breathless, you are so excited about your recipes. A very Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family.🥰
I’m so sorry to hear that times are so tough for you, Amy. I definitely hope that you enjoy some of these meals and I’m glad that you could find some peace here today watching my video💜🙏🏼
Oh! That’s wonderful. I really hope you enjoy my cookbook and thank you so much for your positive feedback about my video. I definitely hope it helps with your budget. Have a great rest of your day and a very merry Christmas to you too🎄🎄
You are a true blessing, to so many people, and you r great in all you do. I am touched and thankful, to your beautiful message, and May God bless you, richly. Thanks again and I wish you, all the best. 🙏🥰🤗❤️✝️👍🤶🎅🎄🎁
My 4 year old and I love watching your videos each week. She's always asking me if there's a new Julia video. I use so many of your recipes. I asked my mom to get me one of your cookbooks for Christmas so my daughter and I can make more meals. Wishing you, your husband and your beautiful girls a very Merry Christmas
Thank you so much, Shannon. I appreciate your kind words. I sure hope that some of these ideas help and I appreciate your positive comment , Shannon❤️🎄
I always buy a Shank Ham. I cook it in a large pot, flat side down, bone out, and fill pot with water. Simmer on low for 2 hours. Water makes ham unbelievably moist and juicy, and removes much of the sodium content. I'd never make a ham any other way! Marie ❤️
Thank you so very much for sharing how you cook your ham, Marie. I appreciate that! I’m sure others do as well. Have a great rest of your day and thank you so much.🎄
Hi Julia !!! These budget friendly recipes help me to be able to prepare delicious, affordable and flavorful meals for my family and I can’t thank you enough !!!! 💜
Julia we all love you I'm 65 and your like a granddaughter. I tell my cousin I watched my girl this morning. This meal is beautiful I would Sunday with this meal I have enjoyed cooking Sunday dinners. Your a special young lady to us all.❤
Oh! You are just so sweet! Thank you so very much and I just love that so much. I sure hope you enjoy this meal and I appreciate your wonderful support, Renita. 💜💜
I have your cookbook and use it often. You are super generous to add the gift cards to a lucky person. But i feel i for am grateful for your generosity. I look forward to your videos every week and love all your wonderful recipes. Merry Christmas to you and your family!! ❤
Thank you so much, Laura! I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying my cookbook so much. Thank you so much for sharing that with others. I’m so grateful to have you here every week is one of my wonderful supporters and have a beautiful Christmas, my friend.🎄❤️💚
I'm so happy to have this video and to have you on UA-cam. You've helped a lot of us here with your easy recipes and the gift cards with the cookbooks is the sweetest thing ever. I'm sure someone will really benefit from that and you'll be giving someone such a lovely gift for the holidays. I just love that. ❤️
Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family and all good things in 2025. We are all blessed to see your videos. You have a huge heart and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us each Sunday. Thank you.
I just discovered your videos this weekend and honestly you have been a godsend. I'm a single mother and living paycheck to paycheck and I love that the recipes on this channel is not only budget friendly but healthy and nutritious as well. Thank you so much and I wish you much success in the new year!
Got my second cookbook a few days ago. That was enough for me. You sending gift cards randomly is such a generous kind act. I hope that whoever gets them can really use them. That would be so fantastic. You are a good woman Julia and very thoughtful. ❤
Julia, I got married a little over 9 years ago and you taught me how to cook! Now, I'm cooking things that Ree Drummond makes, I never thought this was possible. I can make a Killer brisket, I still watch your channel all the time and make things from you. I'm so happy for your success, Happy Holiday's and Happy New Year! Thank you for everything.
I love your cookbook! Although I now have to eat low FODMAP due to my IBSD, I am able to convert most recipes. My best friend and I get together each Friday to have dinner, watch a movie, and knit together at my house. We pick a different recipe each Friday and yours have been our favorite meals by far. The #1 favorite we've had twice - Cheeseburger Quesadillas on page 179. I have to use corn tortillas but everyone liked those as much or more than flour tortillas. The sauce really makes it, and now I use that sauce for a dip, too, it's so good. (I must leave out the onion and I use tomato paste or sauce instead of ketchup). We also loved the Fiesta Chicken on pg 162 with only some minor substitutions or omissions, the BBQ drumsticks on pg 165, BBQ chicken sandwiches on pg 154, Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Pasta (I used rice) on pg 108, & sheet pan Chicken Tenderloins on pg 100 (yum). I can't do regular bread crumbs, so we used crushed corn flakes and that was great! I now just found a jar of gluten free bread crumbs at Aldi, so I can't wait to make those again. You do amazing videos and I can see what a great mom and wife you are. You should be very proud of your accomplishments!!!!
God bless you and your family, Julia! Thanks so much for this video and all your videos! My dad and I are going through tough times, he's on social security, 83, and I am on social security disability. Times are tough for so many people. Thanks Julia for helping us cook good, affordable meals!
Your videos are the best by far of any I watch! Your clear, concise directions along with the video footage make it no fail for me. You’ve really helped me be the best at meal planning, cooking and staying on budget. I can’t believe you’re putting random gift cards in your cookbooks. You are definitely some kind of angel! I bought your cookbook when you first offered it but I might buy another now just to get a signed copy! Then I can pass on the first one to someone else. : ) Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family , Julia
Julia, I’ve been watching your vlog for over two years now, and you continue to surprise me. In your recipes and explanations of what you are doing you show such growth. Thank you.❤❤❤
I'm always impressed by how you manage to plan delicious and economical meals. This video really helped me think about how I can organize my Christmas in an affordable way. Thanks for the recipes! ☺☺
I've been a Julia fan forever, I love seeing you grow. You're a delight! Proud of you for all you've accomplished and for your honesty of being on food stamps. They helped my family survive at one point.
Thank you so much. That definitely means so much to me and I’m so happy to hear that my videos have helped you in someway. Thank you so very much for being such a loyal fan of mine! You are the best.💜💜💜
I love your videos. The meals you make are simple and accessible, as well as tasty. The kindness in your attitude is refreshing. Hope you and your family have a merry Christmas.
I am 61 years old I have never been able to make a Christmas ham turn out tasty. I am going to give it a try! Thank you ❤ New Subscriber from West Virginia 😊
Julia, you sweet little thing, I just love you! And your whole little family! How thoughtful of you to show how to make a perfectly delicious, full Christmas meal to feed a family on a budget! ❤ So many are financially strained, especially this time of year, and this tasty menu will help relieve some of the stress. Plus, it's easy and doesn't take all day to prepare?? What a marvelous idea!! May this season bring you and your entire family joy, peace, and abundant blessings! With much love from Lori in Texas ❤
That’s wonderful! I hope you and your family enjoy this Christmas dinner, Donna. Merry Christmas to you and thank you so much for your wonderful support.❤️🎄💚
Ok, I made everything you suggested as you made it and my family LOVED it and wanted to make sure I told you. Thank you Julia. I also ordered your cook book this morning for myself for Christmas.
Dear Julia, I love everything about your channel! I'm so happy I found it. I was always nervous about cooking and making meals but you make it look so easy and it really is! And the best part is you show us the ingredients and where to find great prices and make affordable meals. I also enjoy how you get right to the point and your videos are not too long. Your pretty kitchen setting and cookware along with your calm, encouraging voice are the little extras that make your channel extra special and so wonderful. Wishing you and yours a blessed holiday. P.S. thank you for the cake and cornbread ideas. Im planning to try them this holiday and bring them for my family garherings. 🌲
I made a ham following your directions today for New Year’s dinner. I don’t usually prepare ham because growing up we never had ham because my Father didn’t like ham. After I made the glaze and the ham was on its last 30 minutes in the oven, my husband of 46 years started pacing in front of the oven. We both loved it and I wanted to thank you for teaching me how to prepare a ham and make it delicious. You can teach an old dog new tricks and I see a lot of hams in our future. Happy New Year to you and your Family.
That is so funny! I can actually see him pacing the floor right now. Thank you so much for sharing your positive results and I’m so glad to hear you have something new in your food rotation. You’re the best and thank you so much for sharing that, Jenna💜💜🙌🏽🙌🏽
Your cookbook and videos have become a staple in my house. You make cooking fun! It's no longer laborious or a chore. I know my kids are gunna eat whatever recipe I pick of yours. Can't wait to try some of these for Christmas 💚💚
Thank you so much! You definitely never forget it. Blessings to you too and thank you so very much for watching. I hope you have a merry Christmas.❤️🎄💚
I’m sorry things are so tight for you right now, but I do hope that my recipes help. Thank you so much for your positive comment and I hope you enjoy, Kealy💜
@JuliaPacheco yes, I really love your recipes. They are so easy to follow and cost is minimal. Where do I find your cook book at? Is it available in an ebook form?
Oh, Sharon, thank you so very much! It does mean a lot to me and I hope that everyone enjoys my cookbook too. Have a great rest of your week, my friend.💜💜
You all really mean the world to me! I definitely hope you know that. And I’m so happy that I’ve been able to help you along the way. Thank you so much for that. great comment.💜💜
You are all ready helping all of us who learn amazing recipes from you! Thank you for all of your hard work and your kindness in sharing your talents and skills so freely!
I really love watching your channel and yes I am a subscriber. My daughter lost her home and all of their belongings in a fire. Praise God her adult son was home and got her godson and navy charge out without anyone being harmed. Without hesitation I took them in. Now at the time I lived by myself, cooking meals for one is easy, but then there were 4. Watching your channel has given me so much inspiration for meals and the planning of those meals. They are in a new home now and I am sharing those meals with her. So for that I am grateful to you. I wish you and your Family the Merriest of Holiday Blessings
Julie, your food always looks so delicious. I absolutely love this video. I just love watching you every week. ❤ Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎅😘
Thank you so very much. You are so kind and I appreciate you sharing that with me. Such a nice compliment! Blessings to you too and I sure do appreciate your wonderful support.💜🙏🏼
I’m a 25 yo living by myself struggling with grocery prices and knowing what to buy at the grocery store, your channel has been super helpful in helping me think of meals and keep to my budget at the grocery store. I really appreciate your calm presence and all that you do for this channel!!
Julia is amazing especially for low costs meals. Fit frugal mom is another person you should follow if you are wanting low cost healthy meals. I follow both for great grocery saving meals.
Make sure you utilize pantries around you. Also, look in your area for free groups. Lots of those groups you can post along for food help. Rally around your fellow neighbors.
Ditto 🤍
Southern Frugal Mama is another person who does low cost meals.
Been where you have been you can do it.
My husband and I are older and have just faced the worst financial crisis of our lives. I lost my job in June, my husband was in a horrific car accident in July (car totaled but he escaped with only minor injuries). He lost his job in August. The house we were renting was being sold so we were forced to move at the end of September. We have both found new jobs within the last month and are slowly recovering financially.
Throughout this ordeal God has shown Himself to be so faithful. Your UA-cam channel has been one of those blessings. We’ve enjoyed many of your recipes and have been able to stretch what little finances we had to keep us fed for four full months.
Thank you for all you do. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Stay close with God, He will bless you on this journey with the most amazing testimony. Prayers said for you and your husband.🙏🏻. Merry Christmas.
God bless you sister!
Hope your husband is feeling better. Hoping 2025 is a better year for your family❤
Praying that you will continue to experience God’s faithful provision and restoration! 🙏✝️
Asking God to restore you financially, healthwise and in any other way you need. Julia has helped so many of us keep our families well fed during tight times.
Even adding the eggs, milk and butter you need to that would keep it still extremely affordable for the amount of food. Oh Julia, you definitely saved someone's Christmas with this video. You're an angel. 💕
If you need to save money and don't have eggs, milk, and butter, you can mix the cornbread mix with cream corn. It's so good!
Yeah for sure. If you get those items at Aldi, it would be $2 for eggs, $2.75 for 4 sticks of butter and a quart of whole milk for $1.65. so under $30 total with those items
Most definitely for me living alone, and cooking for 1 or a meal that has seconds...😊
Right? Even at $25 or $30 it's still incredible!
@@MaryTheresa1986
Will try that. Thank ❤YOU❤.
As seniors, 72 and 73, with groceries as high as they are, we appreciate your low-cost meals. Youre really a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
The Dollar Tree Store near me had a 50% off all frozen items this past weekend.
We're not struggling financially but I just appreciate your videos so much. You have the sweetest and most humble personality and I love that you're never click-baiting, you ACTUALLY do full and nutritious meals for under $X. It's impressive!
I’m 59 and for the first time in my adult life I just had to apply for food stamps. Things have been a little bit tough for a while and I’m so tired of struggling!! Julia….you are a beautiful reflection of Gods whole heart❤
Well, that is just the kindest thing ever. Thank you so very much for that wonderful compliment, Tina. And I’m so sorry to hear that. your finances are not where you would like them right now. I definitely hope that these ideas help and take care of yourself, my friend💜💜💜
i recommend the smallest crockpot you can get: that has helped me immensely!
Thank you for sharing that you have been on Food Stamps and WIC. Many people are ashamed of asking for help, but they shouldn't be. Government programs exist to help us when we need it and we should not be afraid of using those resources.
Hard agree. It's not even a "Hand out" really. It's among other things what taxes are for.
Julia, you're one of the sweetest people on UA-cam. You're a wonderful wife and mother, and very accomplished in publishing your cookbook. We're all so grateful we found your channel. God bless you and your family and have a wonderful Christmas. 🎄
That's true! Great personality.
I hope you know that you are immeasurably helpful to those who are struggling in so many ways. You are more than a mom, a cook, a YTer - you are an innovator who understands real life. The work struggle, the physical struggle, the mental struggle, the family struggle, the health struggle, etc. Your life is so much more than raising kids and cooking as you inspire all of us in all things. Thank you for all you understand and do.
Oh my goodness! That is just the best compliment ever. Thank you so very much for taking the time to send me such a nice comment. I appreciate it so much! And I love and appreciate each one of you as well. You are all the best! I love what I do and I sure do love my viewers like you.💜💜💜
Julia, you are already helping every one of us out every day by sharing your menus and your story. I love this menu. For comparison, while you were shopping I was also building a shopping cart at my local Walmart (Upstate NY) and my total was close- $19.51 (my potatoes were $.92 higher). They did not have the same brand of ham but I found a comparable ham same weight. As a former public health nurse, I have worked with the elderly and with young struggling families. Channels like yours, Rebecca's Dollar Tree Dinners, and That Lisa Dawn, are changing lives one family at a time. You are removing the stigma and restoring dignity for those who live in food deserts and those on a tight budget.
I agree!
Thank you so much for your UA-cam videos. My husband and I are retired and are on a limited budget, with your budget friendly recipes, I have cut my food budget in half. It has been such a blessing. The recipes are so easy to prepare and so flavorful. Thank you again and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Come on everyone let’s get Julia to 1 million she really deserves it xx
Oh, Norah! You are the absolute best. Thank you so much for your shout out and that would be amazing.💜💜
I agree with all the beautiful comments, so very well deserved! !! I cant wait until you reach a million subscribers!!
I wanted to put on a Christmas dinner for my dad and brother at my house, but we've been skimping financially to get out of our debts and I couldn't afford to make a big meal. Turns out I was wrong ! Thanks so much for this video, I can't wait to make it !
After your holiday dinner, make that ham do double duty! Take the bone and some leftover pieces of ham to make a pot of ham and beans. Cheap and so delicious!
Or some split pea soup. :)
Add some ham pieces to the green beans and have great flavor.
Also, add a can of cream corn to the corn casserole and a stick if butter and you don't need to add eggs
If you are on the fence about the cookbook, pull the trigger now! It is a great gift to put in your own stocking. I hand mine over to my kids and I tell them “pick something and cook it for us one day this week please” (they are older teens and young 20s). Thank you, Julia, for passing on all that you learned to another generation. What a gift to go out in the world with some meals for four under your belt!
That is such wonderful feedback! I am so happy to hear that your kids are enjoying using my cookbook. What a great way to teach them too! Good for you. Thank you so much for your great shout out, Becky and I appreciate you and your loyal support❤️🎄
I lost my fiance 10/19 and im due to have his baby any day now. I was due 12/12 (my first and only now) Ive been subscribed for a long time now, but recently have felt like these videos are going to help me so much more than ever now. Budgeting is the number 1 thing right now, not being able to work this last week and for the new few weeks at least.. on top of taking care of all financials myself now. It's all majorly stressful in the grand scheme of things, but knowing this channel is here to help with the grocery aspect takes a little weight off my shoulders so thank you.
So sorry for your loss. You have an angel now to watch over you and your baby. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
praying for you, internet stranger. 🩷
Sorry for your loss. I know this is a hard time for you But rest assured you will makewith your and your baby.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope you have a community of family & friends that you can go to in this time of need. I can't imagine the emotions you are feelings. But I think your baby will help give you strength to get through it. Plus you'll always have a piece of him with you. 😇
Praying for you sister ❤
Julia, I've been lower income for so long, and spent many years as a food service worker. I predicted by your grocery haul exactly where you were heading with this meal. Thank you for all the advice you give, especially to those of us who have relied on WIC and food assistance. You are my Holiday angel.
Great haul. As the Ham and Potatoes will be used for more meals than just the holiday dinner one option is to estimate the amount used add it to the $2 you were under and buy 2 more bags of Vegetables or in my case Squash, Turnip and Cranberry Sauce.
Thank you for sharing your struggle. You deserve the success your channel has had. You are hard working, kind, and humble.
Blessings to all❤

I love when you say, “trust me”. You will never steer the viewers wrong. You know your stuff. I just love that you are signing your cookbooks and putting gift cards in some. A sweet surprise.
I rushed home from work when you first released your cookbook. Your recipes have saved my bacon (LOL). I am 65 years old and worked a very stressful job and your recipes are my go-to. You have worked so hard, and you deserve being in a better place. We love you and look forward to every video. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family.
Good morning! My birthday cook book arrived and I was thrilled. I wasn’t sad I didn’t get a gift card: I’m hopeful that someone needs it more than I do receives one. I’m so grateful we’ve had a good year. Happy holidays!
For those who want to make homemade gravy on a budget, all you made is the following: 1/4 cup flour, small onion, can of broth ($0.76), oil, salt, and pepper. You can add other spices if you wish. This would still be under the $20 budget. There was a time I had no job, no place to live, and alone. So I know what it's like, but God saw me through. He is real, so everyone be encouraged. 🙏🏽 Julia keep on being a blessing and God will bless you and your family. ❤
@tonibully4090 . You don’t even need that ! All my grandmother did was use the pan drippings and add a little bit of flour and very little water to the flour and shake it up and add it to the pan drippings and there you go ! Homemade gravy!
Your appreciation for your subscribers is so sweet. We can really feel how grateful you are. Your hard work and dedication to your channel and career has really paid off. You deserve all the success! You are providing a wonderful life for your family and are a great example for your children. Merry Christmas and God Bless!❤️🎄
Oh, Ashley, thank you so very much! I appreciate your kind words and your positive support. It really means the world to me! Thank you so much again my friend and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week💛
Wow! What a menu for so little money! You did great! I have been with you for the entire 5 years and have watched you grow and grow! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I like how you may have more money now than when you first started your channel, and you're still doing the budget meals. I think it's great!
My local grocery store has ham on sale at .79 & . 99 cents per pound.. They had the same sale on Thanksgiving week. I bought two hams and two turkeys which were also on sale.. Buying two hams this week as well as two pork shoulders which are on sale for $ 1.29 per pound.. Always stock up when I find a good sale… Happy Holidays to everyone.❤❤❤
Me too! My 2 local stores have wonderful ham sales right now😊A blessing!
@@debc7341 Yes indeed a blessing this days.. Have a very bless and happy holiday season.
We got a free ham! Many grocery stores do this
@@NikkiRN-CLC Usually you have to spend a certain amount in order to get a ham or turkey free..
@@lashortyislabonita623 yeah obviously but it was like $300 over the course of three months which, I spend at least $300 a week so it's not hard to do.
I just can't believe how kind and generous you are. Thanks for being you.
Sweet Julia!! How very generous of you to give back to the UA-cam community. I remember first watching one of your extreme budget videos when you had just over 100K subscribers. Your channel has continued to grow & thrive bc you are truly a wonderful person. I'm not financially able to buy your cookbook right now, but I'm sure whoever buys it will be super impressed.
We (My 2 teenagers and I) made the Thanksgiving dinner you posted and everyone ❤ it. We are going to do this dinner for Christmas as it takes out the guess work❤❤❤ 🙏🏼 thank you
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family. We are blessed to have someone dedicated to helping families in these hard times. I'm definitely trying the ham recipe for Christmas. God bless you!
If you add a little of the sour cream to the gravy, and a little juice from the roast, the sauce or gravy will taste next level. 😋 Looks very good.
We're the ones who are teary-eyed, Julia! We love you so much!
Love your low budget dinner being seniors in a budget these days. God Bless
Julia, you are so honest. I love that you share your real story and what you and your husband went through to get where you are now.
So very happy for you and thankful you are doing so well!
Your talent and compassion are amazing! 💗
I'm a child free lady and probably not generally in your target demographic, but I find your simple and quick recipes easy to follow and much appreciated! Wish I had found something like this 15 yrs ago when first starting out life in an apartment haha. I have a dog and am now single and no longer sharing the mortgage, so savings on food is helpful for the budget! I recommend you in the various financial groups (especially women's) I'm in and just ordered your cookbook! Your kind personality shows through your videos, I'm so happy for your success and wish you much more!
Well, thank you so very much for your positive feedback! And I’m so happy to have you. I have all kinds of viewers. Not just families. I’m so glad to hear that my recipes help you so much and I bet you’ve been able to use some of the budgeting ideas as well. I get that for sure! Thanks so much again my friend and I appreciate your kind words.💜💜💜
@JuliaPacheco you're so welcome and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
You have to be the SWEETEST UA-camr I have ever seen ...
I love seeing your videos and learning from you. I appreciate you. So much. The time and energy you put into each video I feel like it's with LOVE and caring and wanting to help. And I truly appreciate that. And my family appreciates you so much. Because you are teaching me to be a better cook and how to handle these trying times. With inflation.
Is there a way I could get a sticker with your signature so I can stick it in my cookbook. Cause that would be the best Christmas gift ever!
Thank you again. I appreciate you.
Oh, Crystal, thank you so very much!! And I absolutely love the sticker idea. Ha ha. That would be an awesome idea. So sorry I wasn’t able to sign yours. But I sure do appreciate you purchasing one of my cookbooks. I sure hope you’re enjoying it and thank you so very much for all of your positive feedback. It means the world to me💜💜
@@JuliaPacheco I love how easy to read and understand.
It doesn't have a lot of out there kind of ingredients.
I love how you put yourself into your book. I feel like I am cooking with you in the kitchen and we are two friends working together. Ya know
I really appreciate how concise your videos are. I get a little exasperated with the people who film chopping, peeling and all the things we know how to do. I look forward to Sunday mornings with you
Awe Julia you are truly a child of God! A beautiful giving soul ❤ It has been such a blessing to have found your channel and to have been able to watch you grow! God bless you, and Merry Christmas 🙏❤️🌲🎁❄️
I really love your affordable recipes. I've had hard times when I wish you had been around when my kids were little, but you would have been a little girl yourself then 😊. It's so good that you are there for all the people who are struggling with the cost of living crisis we are in atm. I'd love to buy your cookbook but alas, I live in Cheshire, England so I have saved so many of your videos to my cooking playlist. God bless you and your lovely family ❤
I'm very impressed by how you made all that scrumptious food for under $20!
Love ALL your recipes and watching the many idea's you share.God Bless you and your beautiful little family!!!
That's so awesome you're able to & willing to help those in need simply bc you know how if feels to struggle. It's hard to struggle & not to tell anyone.
God bless you Julia, you are such a blessing to so many people in ways you will never know. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. ❤
Omg a signed book!? That’s so cool! Nobody takes the time to do that - it’s the little details that make you far superior. You take the time to thank us when we want to thank you! You are so sweet and humble and I think I speak for all when I say that we love your videos. Thanks for sharing your life and recipes with all of us, always looking forward to a new video it’s just so comforting and “homey” 😊 I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday and new year! I ordered another book for Xmas to give to my cousin who lives in LA and it’s just her and her bf but so many meals they would absolutely love!! Thanks Julia ❤
Julia, you are such a lovely young lady. I have watched your channel for quite some time. I am whole-food-plant-based and I can always find something to make or tweak on your channel. Honestly, I watch it just for your cheery demeanor. I love the way you speak as if you are almost breathless, you are so excited about your recipes. A very Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family.🥰
Thank you, times are tough, but your words make it a bit easier
I’m so sorry to hear that times are so tough for you, Amy. I definitely hope that you enjoy some of these meals and I’m glad that you could find some peace here today watching my video💜🙏🏼
I’m so happy your channel is doing so well. I started watching you during the first lockdown. All the best to your family!
Julia, you have the BIGGEST heart! Merry Christmas to you and your lovely little family!
What a perfect video to put out during these tough economic times! You gave me the final push to get your cookbook! 😉 Merry Christmas!
Oh! That’s wonderful. I really hope you enjoy my cookbook and thank you so much for your positive feedback about my video. I definitely hope it helps with your budget. Have a great rest of your day and a very merry Christmas to you too🎄🎄
This would definitely help people so thank you Julia!! I have to work Christmas so I'll be doing something simple! Just my dog and I ❤
Julia, you choked me up with this video. As a mom I always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
You ate such a genuinely good person Julia. You can her it in your voice. The world needs more people like you!!!
You are a true blessing, to so many people, and you r great in all you do.
I am touched and thankful, to your beautiful message, and May God bless you, richly.
Thanks again and I wish you, all the best. 🙏🥰🤗❤️✝️👍🤶🎅🎄🎁
My 4 year old and I love watching your videos each week. She's always asking me if there's a new Julia video. I use so many of your recipes. I asked my mom to get me one of your cookbooks for Christmas so my daughter and I can make more meals.
Wishing you, your husband and your beautiful girls a very Merry Christmas
Happy Sunday, Julia!! Amazing budget friendly meal!!! Thank you so much! 🥰
I live a lone and love your channel so much. Not only affordable , easy but delicious. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for sharing that positive feedback! I’m happy to hear that it helps you so much. Thanks so much for your loyal support, Kay💜💜
What a wonderful meal idea ❤ your channel is very inspiring for many people struggle with food prices today 😢
Thank you so much, Shannon. I appreciate your kind words. I sure hope that some of these ideas help and I appreciate your positive comment , Shannon❤️🎄
I always buy a Shank Ham. I cook it in a large pot, flat side down, bone out, and fill pot with water. Simmer on low for 2 hours. Water makes ham unbelievably moist and juicy, and removes much of the sodium content. I'd never make a ham any other way! Marie ❤️
Thank you so very much for sharing how you cook your ham, Marie. I appreciate that! I’m sure others do as well. Have a great rest of your day and thank you so much.🎄
Hi Julia !!! These budget friendly recipes help me to be able to prepare delicious, affordable and flavorful meals for my family and I can’t thank you enough !!!! 💜
Julia we all love you I'm 65 and your like a granddaughter. I tell my cousin I watched my girl this morning. This meal is beautiful I would Sunday with this meal I have enjoyed cooking Sunday dinners. Your a special young lady to us all.❤
Oh! You are just so sweet! Thank you so very much and I just love that so much. I sure hope you enjoy this meal and I appreciate your wonderful support, Renita. 💜💜
I have your cookbook and use it often. You are super generous to add the gift cards to a lucky person. But i feel i for am grateful for your generosity. I look forward to your videos every week and love all your wonderful recipes. Merry Christmas to you and your family!! ❤
Thank you so much, Laura! I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying my cookbook so much. Thank you so much for sharing that with others. I’m so grateful to have you here every week is one of my wonderful supporters and have a beautiful Christmas, my friend.🎄❤️💚
I'm so happy to have this video and to have you on UA-cam. You've helped a lot of us here with your easy recipes and the gift cards with the cookbooks is the sweetest thing ever. I'm sure someone will really benefit from that and you'll be giving someone such a lovely gift for the holidays. I just love that. ❤️
Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family and all good things in 2025. We are all blessed to see your videos. You have a huge heart and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us each Sunday. Thank you.
I just discovered your videos this weekend and honestly you have been a godsend. I'm a single mother and living paycheck to paycheck and I love that the recipes on this channel is not only budget friendly but healthy and nutritious as well. Thank you so much and I wish you much success in the new year!
You are so precious and sincere! Congratulations on working so hard on your videos. So many people appreciate your recipes! Merry Christmas ❤
Got my second cookbook a few days ago. That was enough for me. You sending gift cards randomly is such a generous kind act. I hope that whoever gets them can really use them. That would be so fantastic. You are a good woman Julia and very thoughtful. ❤
Wonderful video not only budget friendly but easy step by step directions. Thanks so much
Julia, I got married a little over 9 years ago and you taught me how to cook! Now, I'm cooking things that Ree Drummond makes, I never thought this was possible. I can make a Killer brisket, I still watch your channel all the time and make things from you. I'm so happy for your success, Happy Holiday's and Happy New Year! Thank you for everything.
I love your cookbook! Although I now have to eat low FODMAP due to my IBSD, I am able to convert most recipes. My best friend and I get together each Friday to have dinner, watch a movie, and knit together at my house. We pick a different recipe each Friday and yours have been our favorite meals by far. The #1 favorite we've had twice - Cheeseburger Quesadillas on page 179. I have to use corn tortillas but everyone liked those as much or more than flour tortillas. The sauce really makes it, and now I use that sauce for a dip, too, it's so good. (I must leave out the onion and I use tomato paste or sauce instead of ketchup). We also loved the Fiesta Chicken on pg 162 with only some minor substitutions or omissions, the BBQ drumsticks on pg 165, BBQ chicken sandwiches on pg 154, Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Pasta (I used rice) on pg 108, & sheet pan Chicken Tenderloins on pg 100 (yum). I can't do regular bread crumbs, so we used crushed corn flakes and that was great! I now just found a jar of gluten free bread crumbs at Aldi, so I can't wait to make those again. You do amazing videos and I can see what a great mom and wife you are. You should be very proud of your accomplishments!!!!
God bless you and your family, Julia! Thanks so much for this video and all your videos! My dad and I are going through tough times, he's on social security, 83, and I am on social security disability. Times are tough for so many people. Thanks Julia for helping us cook good, affordable meals!
This is brilliant. I bet you just eased a lot of hearts with this. You’re a treasure. 💗
Your videos are the best by far of any I watch! Your clear, concise directions along with the video footage make it no fail for me. You’ve really helped me be the best at meal planning, cooking and staying on budget. I can’t believe you’re putting random gift cards in your cookbooks. You are definitely some kind of angel! I bought your cookbook when you first offered it but I might buy another now just to get a signed copy! Then I can pass on the first one to someone else. : ) Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family , Julia
You saved a lot of holidays, for sure. ♥ Thank you for your videos, they are delightful.
Julia, I’ve been watching your vlog for over two years now, and you continue to surprise me. In your recipes and explanations of what you are doing you show such growth. Thank you.❤❤❤
Aww, ty Julia for being you and bringing us all these budget friendly recipes. :D
You're so very welcome! I hope you enjoy some of these recipes. 💜
I'm always impressed by how you manage to plan delicious and economical meals. This video really helped me think about how I can organize my Christmas in an affordable way. Thanks for the recipes! ☺☺
❤ everything and the time you spend to help us with our budget. It also helps with delicious flavors. I absolutely love your channel.
I've been a Julia fan forever, I love seeing you grow. You're a delight! Proud of you for all you've accomplished and for your honesty of being on food stamps. They helped my family survive at one point.
Thank you so much. That definitely means so much to me and I’m so happy to hear that my videos have helped you in someway. Thank you so very much for being such a loyal fan of mine! You are the best.💜💜💜
I love your videos. The meals you make are simple and accessible, as well as tasty. The kindness in your attitude is refreshing. Hope you and your family have a merry Christmas.
Well, thank you so very much, Rebecca! I really appreciate that so much. And I do hope that you have a wonderful Christmas as well.🎄🎄❤️💚
Your channel has been such a blessing... Now more than ever people are having a hard time surviving...Thank you for everything you do 🙏❤
That is so kind and sweet to give to your followers. ❤
I am 61 years old I have never been able to make a Christmas ham turn out tasty. I am going to give it a try! Thank you ❤ New Subscriber from West Virginia 😊
Julia, you sweet little thing, I just love you! And your whole little family! How thoughtful of you to show how to make a perfectly delicious, full Christmas meal to feed a family on a budget! ❤ So many are financially strained, especially this time of year, and this tasty menu will help relieve some of the stress. Plus, it's easy and doesn't take all day to prepare?? What a marvelous idea!! May this season bring you and your entire family joy, peace, and abundant blessings! With much love from Lori in Texas ❤
I will be making ALL of this just as you instructed for our Christmas dinner for four. Thank you very much.
That’s wonderful! I hope you and your family enjoy this Christmas dinner, Donna. Merry Christmas to you and thank you so much for your wonderful support.❤️🎄💚
@ Merry Christmas to you and your family, too. Thank you.
Ok, I made everything you suggested as you made it and my family LOVED it and wanted to make sure I told you. Thank you Julia. I also ordered your cook book this morning for myself for Christmas.
Dear Julia, I love everything about your channel! I'm so happy I found it. I was always nervous about cooking and making meals but you make it look so easy and it really is! And the best part is you show us the ingredients and where to find great prices and make affordable meals. I also enjoy how you get right to the point and your videos are not too long. Your pretty kitchen setting and cookware along with your calm, encouraging voice are the little extras that make your channel extra special and so wonderful. Wishing you and yours a blessed holiday.
P.S. thank you for the cake and cornbread ideas. Im planning to try them this holiday and bring them for my family garherings. 🌲
I made a ham following your directions today for New Year’s dinner. I don’t usually prepare ham because growing up we never had ham because my Father didn’t like ham. After I made the glaze and the ham was on its last 30 minutes in the oven, my husband of 46 years started pacing in front of the oven. We both loved it and I wanted to thank you for teaching me how to prepare a ham and make it delicious. You can teach an old dog new tricks and I see a lot of hams in our future. Happy New Year to you and your Family.
That is so funny! I can actually see him pacing the floor right now. Thank you so much for sharing your positive results and I’m so glad to hear you have something new in your food rotation. You’re the best and thank you so much for sharing that, Jenna💜💜🙌🏽🙌🏽
Your cookbook and videos have become a staple in my house. You make cooking fun! It's no longer laborious or a chore. I know my kids are gunna eat whatever recipe I pick of yours. Can't wait to try some of these for Christmas 💚💚
Bless your heart! I also know how it feels to struggle 🥺. God bless you and your family 🙏♥️
Thank you so much! You definitely never forget it. Blessings to you too and thank you so very much for watching. I hope you have a merry Christmas.❤️🎄💚
I really appreciate your videos! With a 60.00 budget for the month and your videos, it really makes things for me a lot easier!
I’m sorry things are so tight for you right now, but I do hope that my recipes help. Thank you so much for your positive comment and I hope you enjoy, Kealy💜
@JuliaPacheco yes, I really love your recipes. They are so easy to follow and cost is minimal. Where do I find your cook book at? Is it available in an ebook form?
I love 💕 you, you’re amazing, thinking of others when they order your cookbook. ❤
Oh, Sharon, thank you so very much! It does mean a lot to me and I hope that everyone enjoys my cookbook too. Have a great rest of your week, my friend.💜💜
It’s great news we’ve helped you over the past five years because you’ve certainly helped many of us with easy and affordable ways to cook… 🎶
You all really mean the world to me! I definitely hope you know that. And I’m so happy that I’ve been able to help you along the way. Thank you so much for that. great comment.💜💜
You are all ready helping all of us who learn amazing recipes from you! Thank you for all of your hard work and your kindness in sharing your talents and skills so freely!
This is amazing! I am going to do this Christmas Eve. I always wall by the frozen green beans because I never thought to saute them!
I really love watching your channel and yes I am a subscriber. My daughter lost her home and all of their belongings in a fire. Praise God her adult son was home and got her godson and navy charge out without anyone being harmed. Without hesitation I took them in. Now at the time I lived by myself, cooking meals for one is easy, but then there were 4. Watching your channel has given me so much inspiration for meals and the planning of those meals. They are in a new home now and I am sharing those meals with her. So for that I am grateful to you. I wish you and your Family the Merriest of Holiday Blessings
Julie, your food always looks so delicious. I absolutely love this video. I just love watching you every week. ❤ Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎅😘
Ty Julia! This is amazing for 20 bux!! I definitely will follow your lead ❤. Merry Christmas to u n your family
You’re so very welcome, Donna! I hope you enjoy this Christmas meal and merry Christmas to you too❤️🎄💚
You really are amazing! Thank you so much for all you do! Merry Christmas!
Thank you for your creativity and beautiful heart 😊❤. You are having a huge impact in the lives of many many people. God bless you and your family 🙏🫶
Thank you so very much. You are so kind and I appreciate you sharing that with me. Such a nice compliment! Blessings to you too and I sure do appreciate your wonderful support.💜🙏🏼
