$50 Weekly Grocery Haul for 3 Adults • Realistic Budget Cooking • Meal Ideas 

I feel the same way,we just love Lisa !

She really is amazing and such a kind and wise heart.

Thanks for the great ideas!!!

Not only does she do an amazing job of stretching her budget in a healthy way, she is teaching all of us to do the same. I always get so excited to see one of her new videos because she inspires me to do better. Her use of simple ingredients makes her recipes doable on a tight budget. Thank you! ❤❤❤

Yep! Anyone else wishing and waiting for this to be Lisa's full-time gig so we can get more of her? ❤

If my Nannie taught me right, the real danger from cookie dough is the raw flour, not the egg

@@emilyann342 This is correct, you are more likely to get sick from the raw flour, not the raw eggs

I do 😄

Nope

I do the same!👍

No, you’re not alone! I always give them thumbs up because I know they’re going to be great!

Lol. No. I just did! ❤

It isn’t really hard what she’s doing, and she shows step by step, which is awesome!!! (I was fortunate to have a mother who didn’t do processed food and taught me to cook along side her growing up) but she shows how easy it is. I think Lisa should make a cookbook!!!! She’s such a friendly, comforting soul and she can make some basic stuff up for a website, doesn’t have to be a massive publication! (Although, it should be!!! Poor nutrition and poverty in the US is a terrible situation…and she shows how to cook healthy even living in a food desert…which many people do.) I think she’s amazing, too!!!

Right, around here about all we can “just whip up” is salad…got to pay more attention to her videos. She is inspiring!

@@joycef8443 Yep, she makes easy bread dough, and easy pasta (you could just make noodles instead of pierogi or ravioli to start out with! Give yourself some grace, you’ll make a few mistakes, that’s okay…it’s not much in the flour department…also, bread freezes really well (and reheats/defrosts on the counter quickly and easily!) so if you start feeling comfortable with making it, you could do several at a time when you have a some time, and freeze them. That same dough for bread probably works for pizza crust, bread sticks, garlic knots, dinner rolls, etc. A very simple (and inexpensive recipe that tastes good: boil spaghetti/linguine/fettuccine noodles, whatever you have or like. Put a good amount of salt in the water, like 2 tsps so it gives it flavor and doesn’t stick to itself. Drain out the water and put a little cooking oil (like a few tsps) and a Tbsp of butter (olive oil only if you like), with some garlic powder, and parmesan cheese shredded. Turning the pot on low can sometimes help everything melt together better…save a little of the pasta water (like ¼ cup) just in case it gets too dry on you. Cut up some chicken breasts into small pieces, season how you like it (put chicken in a ziplock after cubing it up and put a Tbsp of cornstarch on it for 15 min, then rinse off.) Stir fry in oil of your choice, or bake or fry the whole filet (I’d cut it in half like Lisa does). Add to pasta, or eat on the side. Throw in a small salad or green vegetable as a side. Time to cook, probably 20 min total. Voila, an easy homemade dinner that’s a balanced meal, and inexpensive. (Lol, I call the pasta dish “Desperation Dinner” cause it’s what I’ll cook up when I’m tired and we have nothing in the house…we still always have pasta, butter, oil, garlic and parmesan…I’ve made it for decades, starting one time when I really had nada at home, and thought…well, maybe this will work. The worst mistake I make is over salting with garlic salt along with garlic powder.) Also, I also cook pasta for a minute or two under the recommended time, cause I hate it to be mushy…you can always cook a few minutes longer, if needed. Good luck, and enjoy!!!

I didn't know how to cook chicken or mashed potatoes when I left home. I knew nothing about keeping a home or budget. The biggest thing is seeing the steps. I so love this page and content. Amazing!

I never get bitter eggplant but I DO have a problem with my eggplant sponging up all of my oil😊. That’s why I switched to olive oil when cooking my eggplant but it sooo filling with all that oil🙄. Thanks for the tip👍! 16:39

Find the serial number inside the fridge, you can look it up on line and see it’s birthday! I think your old girl is more than 35! It’d be fun to find out.

My refrigerator is 25 years old. Bought at a rent a center. Used. 90 days same as cash. Real cheap. I think it may go another 10 years. Fingers crossed. 😂

@@beckywhinery4652 What is the name brand?

My refrigerator is a Whirlpool. All the shelves and ones on the door are good. Holding up great

Chewing on a clove bud helps too👍

She said she really DIDNT like the lavender goat cheese, and couldn’t think of one meal that would go with the flavor profile of that cheese… and she also said she’s probably going to give it to her friend…

That lavender goat cheese sounds amazing! I got to try something like that!

Fruit flies hate the smell of Lavender. Get a scented plug-ins and their gone.

We are trying the used wine cork method. Seems to work, just need to keep the cat from flipping it out of the fruit bowl!

I think I know how you feel. I take care of my mom and she won't budge on her meals. I love to be adventurous with cooking. We've found a middle ground I think. I take her food out first and then I can play with what is left 😊
