I’m Cajun and you did a great job on those beans. A tip if the beans are a little watery when done. Take about a cup of the cooked beans and mash them well and add back to the pot. They will help thicken the mixture 😊

@user-rr8ep4zl3s 9 месяцев назад

Brooke, if you keep your onion in the fridge they won't burn your eyes!

@homeboundmama9968 Год назад

Just a hint NOT a complaint! 😊, I went through my cabinet the other day because I'm losing my eye sight. I put everything in order like a grocery store. Like all my same cans of green bean in a line and so on. Now I not only now what I have but where everything is. That might help you as well.

@SouthernFrugalMomma Год назад

It’s funny, sometimes I do this, and I get so busy, within a week it’s chaos again. 😂 It’s a vicious cycle lol

well I think you gave me good ides as my eye slight is not as good as it use to be.

@robbieanderson5902 Год назад

I just bought a 4 or 5 shelf stand..To organize my non-perishables. So much easier to do it like you suggested

@sheliaanderson1890 Год назад

I do that too but I think I’m OCD. Now, my snack shelf in my pantry is a different story. The grandkids come and it looks like a tornado hit it within minutes 😂😂

@EllyKaye84 Год назад

Love your creativity!!

@justcallmesuzzie Год назад

I love the fact that when you discovered the chicken was gone, you simply went to the freezer, found something and went in another direction for dinner. I have done that on many occasions!

@sandy-pf9bb Год назад

I'm so glad you had a new post today. I haven't any family and I have severe depression. I think you would make such a nice mama and it was good to watch you.

My husband loves cornbread dressing with pork chops!!!! I spent $24 on meat this week for 9 dinners for 3. $4.98 Rotisserie Chicken, $4.61 Whole chicken, 2 Sirloin Tip Steak Managers Special $4.20 & $5.55, I pkg Aidells Chicken Sausage #3.99. I LOVE a great deal for my budget. Saving 2 chicken carcass to make broth. You inspire me to think outside the box. Love your budget friendly videos.

Last night I did a taco chili is what we called it. Hamburger, taco seasoning, corn, black beans and salsa. Top with cheese and sour cream. I kept all the juices in the cans. So good even better today.

@Leelee... Год назад

I use hamburger patties to make meat sauce for pasta also..especially when they're on sale, or I have a few left in the freezer.😉 Some great meals there!

@TammyB-x2h 15 часов назад

When I have an abundance of potatoes, I make potato soup because my husband loves it. Sometimes I add ham or bacon bits to it. Sometimes broccoli pieces or corn. We top it with cheddar cheese.

@destinyandpurpose Год назад

New subbie here, and I love, love, love. your videos!! You are definitely my kind of cook. Waste not, want not. Or as my Mama used to say " A woman can throw out more in a teaspoon, than a man can bring home in a shovel", she was a wise frugal woman. Thanks for sharing these recipes, I will definitely be trying the chicken and rice bake, and the red beans and rice. Blessings to you and your family!

@robertabrien845 Год назад

That 50 dollar budget was excellent you ate well all week 👏

@allyrooh3628 Год назад

I love that pancake mix from Sam's club. I usually make about 50 pancakes and freeze them. Saves me to much time! I'm making the chicken dish as I watch the rest of the video!

@kathleenkline4622 Год назад

Another tasty way to fix pork chops is to season with lemon pepper and either pan fry in butter/oil or bake in the oven.

@cherylbailey1309 3 месяца назад

My late husband's family loved "soupy potatoes" as they called them. Of course I grew to love them too. They are especially good with new peas thrown in. My favorite❤

@alexandrabrundage8702 Год назад

I’ve never heard of cash stuffing until you mentioned it recently. This is my 2nd week of doing it and I’ve already saved about $140 on my groceries/household budget. There’s more control when not using a debit card. Less tempting to overspend this way. Thank you!

@lyndajones6605 Год назад

lol... you crack me up.. I love your down to earth videos... and the meals look AMAZING.. i do the rice and chicken all the time.. but the pork chops.. i am going to try that.. it looked sooooooooo good... I wanted to reach thru the screen and grab me some.. Love you Brooke.. and your sweet family, and our very bubbly personality!! Thank you!!!

The pork chop meal looks wonderful.I sometimes add an extra 1/2 cup of rice to stretch it further when money is really tight.

I made your boiled butter potatoes the other night and they are my new favorite. I sprinkled with some dried parsley flakes to make them pretty. I can't believe I had never heard of those before you introduced me. Mashed potatoes were always my go to, but this doesn't even need milk and my taste buds prefer it. Thank you for sharing!

I'm one person and eat 3 meals a day,and most of the time my grocery bills runs around $40.00. So I think you do a wonderful job feeding your family on $50.00.We have sales tax on food here in ks.which is 6.75 % right now so actually I spend around $37.00 per week. By the way your food that you cooked looks delicious.

@plantobebooked-Alicia_Allen Год назад

Wow, in Texas our sales tax is 9%!

@amandasnailtasticnails9657 Год назад

Ks just went down on food which used to be higher. Depends on where I shop I can keep my grocery budget at 20 to 25. I have two main stores I shop at.

What a great job!! I cook for just one now after cooking for 5 for many years. It's hard to make the transition but your ideas are just the kind of thing I did to get us thru my nursing school on a firefighters' salary. We had a garden and and always kept a fully stocked pantry. The idea was to never NEED anything and be able to turn on a dime and change your plan. We were poor but we ate good!

I am 73 and will put it to use making my food more efficiently, and will stimulate my palate away from the usuals over and over.❤❤❤❤❤

@kellylorang6845 Год назад

Thank you for another great video. You make me brave enough to try what you call "winging it". Although I am almost 60 years old, but because I have never married or had a family, I have eaten out most of my adult life so cooking is not a strong suit of mine. Anytime I have tried some things without a recipe it usually hasn't turned out very well. You have given me the courage to try again.😊

@angelafleming3328 Год назад

Brooke i have to tell you i got a great deal on potatoes. Walmart is trying to get rid of overstock i got a 5 pound bag of russets for $1 i bought 25 pounds i am going to can potatoes i just found out i am allergic to the cans that they use for all canned food so i am going to start canning all of my food from fresh and from scratch. I love your low spend month i am trying to do this too. I hope you have a great week.

@jillgott6567 Год назад

I have seen folks say they spend $40 on groceries per week as a single person. So do I. And here's the reason. A loaf of bread $5.99 is the same price for a single as it is for a family. A single may have more bread slices left over at the end of a week but the original cost is the same. Another example a bag of potatos is the same price no matter family size. So, to cut back as a single buy 1-2 individual potatos lower total cost but higher individual price OR, one week buy Potatos next week Meat for 2 -3 weeks, next Veggies and so on. So each week you purchase just a few items for a month's worth or 2 weeks worth of meals.

@amandasnailtasticnails9657 Год назад

I was guessing the red beans and rice would be the substitute. I’d love to make the potato Taco Bell meal. There are so many meals I want to try from this video. While back I made Mac n Cheese. I didn’t know the cheese sauce in the box since I used it another time. Since you shared about the nacho sauce from DT I used it for my noodles. I need to pick up some more.

I haven't been grocery shopping since the first week of January. I had split pea soup for supper last night with cornbread and I will have a cup of split pea soup for lunch with one or two slices of pizza. Tonight's supper is uncertain; however, I might stay for supper with my son, Paul after he comes home from work.
