Your channel is growing wow! Please don’t let these business sharks come in and convince you to add anything to your style! I love you because you don’t push merch or waste time. I do wish Walmart had an affiliate program like Amazon, that you could get earnings off the grocery shopping lists. You crush at managing and editing (I assume) your own channel. Don’t let anyone change your style sis! Hugs from North Carolina ❤

@h4z3l_xxx Год назад

Agree to this!!

@VianneWamann Год назад

I very much agree. The sharks will come and try to tempt you. Please don't give in to them. We (my friends and I) love your channel just like it is, and we love your recipes. Sometimes they're like an adventure because we live in Europe and have to substitute some ingredients, but I can tell you: The Tastiness of your recipes prevails, no matter what! That's so awesome! ♥

@j.blase556 10 месяцев назад

I agree , this channel is perfect! I have stopped watching quite a few channels that are merch pushers as well. This channel just makes me happy and inspires me.

@dianepadgett7592 9 месяцев назад

Totally agree

@angelashelsky1032 Год назад

The pre shredded cheese also has filler in it to keep it from sticking so the 8oz block you actually get more real cheese!

@janiehill4256 Год назад

I actually came here to say that! Did you know that there is a legal amount you saw dust that can be used in shredded cheese?

@sheenatalks8529 Год назад

I love your recipes! I had been struggling with a severe depression and once I was coming out of the other side, I needed simple easy basic things to make. Not something involving 3 pans and a bunch of dishes. I tried a home meal delivery but it was still so many dishes! Your videos gave me the first recipes I needed to feel confident in the kitchen again! I used to do the full meals but after 2020 I didn't know how to cook foods I liked in an easier way. I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us! I am so grateful ❤

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

I am so very happy to hear that you enjoyed my recipe so much. That means so much to me! I am happy to hear that you are coming out on the other side of your severe depression.

I don’t know if you ever made ziti with broccoli, oil, garlic, grated cheese. It’s delicious. Also I make one 8oz bag of frozen spinach with 2 cans of white beans, one pureed, one drained, chicken bouillon, oil, garlic, crusty Italian bread to sop up the sauce. All low cholesterol, high fiber, high protein.

@dstock5890 Год назад

Love your recipes Julia! Here’s a hint if you don’t have a jar of sauce): a can of tomato sauce, petite diced tomatoes, 1-2 tsp tomato paste to thicken, diced onion, garlic salt, and your seasonings (Italian seasoning). I add a Tablespoon of brown sugar (cuts the acid in the tomatoes).

If you have sour cream on hand add a tablespoon to the first recipe: taco/corn muffin mix. The sour cream adds a great taste and texture to the muffin mix.

@darlap2724 Год назад

I started shredding my own cheese after watching your videos and seeing the price difference. I also think the cheese melts better. Thank you Julia for the new recipes! I cant wait to try aome of them out on my picky husband 😂😂🎉🎉

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

Thank you so very much! And yes, it’s so much better when you shred it yourself. I hope that you’re picking husband enjoys some of these meals💜💜

@Pittykittymomma4ever Год назад

Same!! I had never seen the mozzarella blocks at Walmart before until Julia! The cheese does melt better because the pre-shredded has the anti-caking agent in it! It's much tastier!!

@giannavlogs6009 Год назад

I made the Tamale Casserole recipe because I had 3 of the ingredients in my pantry already, and WOW, it is so easy and delicious. Thanks for always thinking of the woman on the go. Most importantly, thank you for simplifying things for those of us who don’t have a lot of time!

@gabriellavaldez5547 Год назад

Unless shredded cheese is on sale, the price is usually higher per oz than on the block. I buy the blocks because they are cheaper, plus it keeps longer in the fridge. Grating cheese is not that hard, I normally ask my kids to help with it. 😊 Thanks again, Julia, for another great set of recipes ❤

@dreamscape405 Год назад

And it tastes so much better when you grate it yourself too😊

@MdnightWnd Год назад

Definitely tastes better and melts better. I invested in one of those cream cheese shredders and it’s been worth every penny. Makes shredding so much quicker and easier.

@traceymoores218 Год назад

Grated cheese generally has an anti caking component in it - typically wood pulp…

I am leaving my teaching job next week and beginning part-time remote work so I can be home with my son. I've already been getting into the habit of eating budget meals. Thank you for these recipes that are affordable and accessible while still incorporating nutrition! With eating on a budget, it's about what you can add to your meals to make them healthier and tastier, rather than what you have to subtract from them.

One of the struggles I’ve had since my marriage broke up, is that the chef moved out. So I have eaten out a lot and it’s taking a toll on both my waist and wallet. Watching your videos actually makes me want to cook which is completely unheard of. I’m going to go to the grocery store and start on these right away. They will make my teacher paycheck go a long way.

Love watching all your videos , very easy recipes and budget friendly. Only suggestion I have is to mince your meat up more into smaller pieces when frying it so it incorporates in the recipe better. So many big chucks. Only my opinion of course , people may like big chunks .

Menu based on the sales! We loved lentils also! They were .25cents a pound then!!! Lol! My budget was 50$ for 2 weeks. My children and I survived while I was putting myself thru nursing school program and did get my RN !!I’m retired now and in fixed income, so I’m back to my penny pinching grocery budget! Thanks for helping me to refresh my shopping frugally!!❤

How to save even more money: buy dried instead of canned beans and cook them yourself. It's super easy with an instant pot. You can even pre-cook them and freeze in portions in ziplock bags. Buy a giant bag of frozen corn instead of canned (save the rest for other meals). Buy cornmeal and make your own corn muffin mix: 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt and 2 Tbsp oil. Also, I would highly recommend rinsing your rice.

@sandrahudziec723 Год назад

Could you put your recipe in the comment section if not I can understand but I looking for a homemade sauce that tastes really good😊

@MsCharliesNails Год назад

@@sandrahudziec723 This recipe is from America's Test Kitchen but I tweeked it and added onion or used dried basil... 1 small onion finely chopped, 1/8 tsp baking soda, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2-3 gloves garlic minced, 3/4 tsp kosher salt, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes, 1/4 tsp sugar, 2 Tbsp fresh basil coarsely chopped or 1 Tbsp dried basil.... 1. add 1 tbsp oil to sauce pan. add onion and baking soda, cook until onion is soft. it will turn yellow which is a chemical reaction from the baking soda. this softens and browns the onions quicker than waiting 5 min or so, it is a great trick I learned from ATK, makes the onions melt into the sauce and add more flavor 2. off heat add garlic, salt, oregano and pepper flakes, return to heat cook til fragrant (30 sec) 3. stir in tomatoes and sugar. increase to high and bring to simmer. 4. reduce heat to med low, cover and simmer until thickened (20 min) 5. off heat stir in basil and remaining oil, season with salt and pepper to taste. I do tend to cook mine for 30 min, I like a thicker sauce as we also use it on pizza and lasagna. It will stay in the fridge for about a week or so in a plastic container in the back of the ridge. Longer in a glass jar. Let me know if you try it and your thoughts. ☺

Your recipes are deeelish !! I love the squash over spaghetti, or any pasta. I use zucchini, squash, and onions, and if I can’t find fresh, I’ll use the frozen blend. I have some leftover hotdogs, and all the other ingredients. I’ll be making that tonight !!❤

@Dolce_Far_Niente Год назад

Love these budget meals dinners. They are easy and it doesn't take a lot of time to make it. Summer is really kicking in. The weather here is super hot. Going to try the BBQ hot dogs. Have a great week. Greetz from the 🇳🇱🇳🇱

I liked all your recipes but am picking the Tamale casserole. I never had that. Thanks for all these... Oh, I like your casserole dishes and plates. I just like pretty things...Sending this video to my family!!!...Take Care...Great Video my dear friend!!!

If I have a cup or so of leftover mashed potatoes, I often make shepherds pie. I make it almost the same way, but use a half pound of hamburger. I sometimes mix water and flour with the potatoes if I need more. It is a delicious winter comfort food that will provide at least 3 servings.

That’s a wonderful tip! Thank you so much for sharing that and I sure do appreciate you watching too💜💜

Just did the tamale casserole tonight for dinner. Had leftover shredded chicken and usedthat instead of the turkey. I love tamales and it was a great dupe! Thanks so much!! this is going to be in my arsenal for weeknight meals!❤🎉👍

@janemartin229 Год назад

Now that prices have gone up so much, I've found that some Walmart products (like canned beans) are just as expensive as some of the name brands. When that happens, of course, I buy the name brand. You just have to be a good shopper. You can also look at the unit pricing--rice can range in price depending on the package size. I like to get the best deal on things I use regularly.

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

That is very true, Jane. Thank you so much for sharing that great tip and I really do appreciate you watching💜

@libbyhardel1826 Год назад

I've bought the broccoli cuts but they're mostly just stems and are hard so I went back to the more expensive. My local grocery store has chopped broccoli that isn't too expensive and that is my favourite! Great video, quite a few ideas are going through my head thanks to this video!

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

That’s great to hear that they have that for you there. Thank you so much for watching and I really do hope you enjoy some of these recipes🙌🏼

Everything looks tasty. Think I will start by trying the Tamale Casserole first. Already have everything in my pantry. Looks good. Have a great week.

That’s wonderful, Donna! I really hope you enjoy that casserole and thanks so much for watching too💜

Hi Julia! I want to say "THANK YOU" for all that you do to inspire people to cook new recipes. I really like that you make your recipes budget friendly, and I've tried many of them and they are so delicious! Can't wait to buy your cookbook soon!

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

You are just so awesome! Thank you so very much for your positive feedback and yes! I am still working on that cookbook. I am so excited about it and can’t wait for it to come out soon🙌🏼

Made the Tamale Casserole. I used black beans and a half pack of Taco Mix low sodium- I didn't have cumin. Very yummy!! Thank you for these delicious economical recipes!

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

That’s wonderful to hear that you were able to make it to your liking. Thank you so much for sharing that and thank you so very much for watching💜😀

@julied6322 Год назад

Grocery, utilities, and gasoline prices are killing us here. My husband's pension check can't keep up with them. We've been going to food banks for over a year now and the ingredients for your recipes have all been available there. It's nice to be able to use them in such a tasty way. I'm terrible at meal planning. Having your ideas and recipes has been such a great help. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My family thanks you too! The tamale casserole is in the oven as I type this.

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

I can imagine! Prices are just so very high. Thank you so very much for your positive feedback about my meals and ideas. I sure do appreciate your positive feedback and I’m so happy that they can help🙌🏼

@CosmicDiamond8789 Год назад

God bless you Julia. Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipes with us. I happen to have both zucchini & squash that I want to use up and this video is perfect timing. I am going to try your Spaghetti with yellow squash & zucchini for supper tonight (maybe doubling up to have for another meal this week). It looks like a winner. Thanks🙏🏻so much.😉

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

That’s awesome to hear! I sure hope you enjoy that spaghetti with squash and thank you so very much for watching💜🙌🏼

@Abbycadabby581 Год назад

Thank you so much for these recipes! It really is insane how much groceries cost now…it is absolutely vital in today’s economy for one to know how to cook and bake from scratch. Pre packaged is so expensive. I’ve known quite a few people that have really had to adjust and start cooking more at home from scratch instead of buying all the packaged items. I’ve always had to be on a strict budget though and thankfully my mom taught me how to cook and bake!!

@JuliaPacheco Год назад

It is absolutely crazy out there! I hope you enjoy some of these recipes and I’m happy to hear that my videos have helped. And good for you learning some of those great skills from your mom! A lot of people don’t want to listen. Have a wonderful rest of your day and thank you so much for watching🙌🏼🙌🏼

@lisamusil8170 10 месяцев назад

Love all the veggies you use! Yes, the prices have gone up--even "cheap food" has doubled. Most of these ideas can be made utilizing leftovers--after "taco night", see what you have left over and add what you need (beans, enchilada sauce) to the meat and have the casserole the next night. Or make the shepherds pie a day or 2 after a "meat and potatoes " night. I often also use my leftover mashed potatoes for the base of a potato soup or corn chowder that my family loves! Thanks for the ideas! I really want to try the zucchini spaghetti!

@JuliaPacheco 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely, Lisa! Thank you so very much for sharing that great feedback about leftovers. You’re so right. Thanks so much for your positive, and have a great rest of your day🙌🏼🙌🏼

@unusualflyer1986 Год назад

I’m not a fan of cream of any soups (limits my options) but I tend to use a packet of brown gravy-definitely works too-just a suggestion if someone else is like me.
