What I really like about your videos versus other budget recipe vids ( which , let’s face it I’ve watched waaay too many ) is that you manage to get a decent amount of veggies in your meals instead of just a carb and cheese attack.

@SeeMindyMom 3 года назад

Thanks! Would you believe some times people criticize me for that? They feel like I "wasted" money on low-calorie foods. I'm looking at the micro-nutrient makeup as well as the macros, ya' know?

So much easier to do this time of year since they are all in season. The rest of the year I use frozen veggies and stock up when they are on sale. That being said, there is nothing better than FRESH vegetables.

I'm so glad that RU-vid decided to bless this channel and put it in my recommended. These are the type of videos I have been looking for. Especially since I want to do more 'adult-like' things like cooking for myself and eventually living on my own. I pretty much have been binging this channel for any ideas for cheap and easy meals. Obviously, the difference here is that Mindy here has a family, and I don't. So if a meal last for a day in Mindy's scenario, it might last like 3-4 days for me.

Have you thought about doing a video where you get an acquaintance or neighbor or something to do the budget meal challenge? I think it would be interesting to see how someone who isn't used to shopping like that as often as you would select their items.

@abagab114 3 года назад

Made the confetti rice it was really good. Used cauliflower rice that I already had to be more healthy and added fish cooked in the pineapple juice for some protein. Ginger was a spice that went well with this dish. I bought an extra corn and added it to the rice too.

@libraryminnie5908 3 года назад

I really like hearing the thought process and that you provide extra options that stay within the same general cost per meal. I have never been much of a cook, but being retired now, I am trying to change my trajectory from spending more on pre-cut or already prepared meals to taking small steps with easy meals and adding more techniques and longer ingredients lists as I feel more confident. I am excited to be able to include all of the beautiful fresh summer fruits and veggies as we move forward. I got take out twice this month. I have to say, when you only eat out or get delivery occasionally you truly feel like you are spoiling yourself, with a little twinge that says, "this will not become a way of life again". Thanks for all your great content.

Everytime I watch these, I'm just so impressed that you get your family to eat these. Mine would touch nothing here and hubby would make some sort of wise crack about better they starve if that's what I'm making them eat if I attempted that rice. Can you maybe do a video on that? I don't know if that's possible.

@SeeMindyMom 3 года назад

Like any family, I imagine, there are plenty of “misses” in the kitchen. Our kids are good about vegetables because they’ve been offered over the years and they have acquired a taste or at least a tolerance for them. Occasionally, they don’t like something and they can fix themselves a PB sandwich or a bowl of cereal. 😊

@jennykao76 3 года назад

I totally agree with your thoughts on audience - I'm already cooking meals for our family almost every day - we try to only eat out once a week. And your channel gives me ideas for cheaper ways to do that, and some new meals to try. I love that you stick to the standard spices and don't use 50 ingredients, or rarer spices that I'm not going to have on hand. Keep doing what you're doing - I love it - and I'm sure a lot of others do, too!

I always add fennel seeds ( crushed ) and/or celery seed salt to dishes . We make a form of trinity which is onion, carrots and celery and fennel seeds slowly cooked until it forms this thick sweet base sauce . Added to any tomato sauce or pasta dish it’s amazing . I also add it with extra onion to stuffing/dressing . Fennel seeds, lemon and black pepper can change a dish from average to amazing .

I was wondering if you could do a plant based/ allergy safe budget meals? Its hard shopping for that when it feels like you either have to spend a bunch of money on good meals or budget out for cheap but less than satisfying food.

@SeeMindyMom 3 года назад

Lots of my budget meal plans are plant-based or very close, and can be adjusted. As for allergy-safe, I'm not really sure what you mean because there are lots of allergens out there. I find that it's best for me to just stay in my lane with the way my own family eats, and allow others to offer suggestions or substitutions because I am not a doctor or a nutritionist to be advising others on what they should eat if they have special medical needs.

@candigurl143 3 года назад

Beans and edamame are great inexpensive bases to plant based dishes and can easily be substituted for meat, especially if you cook them raw and avoid a can. Also, stick with the produce that’s on sale for the week at your local store. Buy what’s on sale and then find recipes around the discounted produce. Now it the best time to save since it’s summer. Hope this helps.

@lindaray8352 3 года назад

@gabriellejoy This one had allergy safe ideas for me. Too many people with too many things they are allergic to. I have the credentials to counsel people and I wouldn't think of trying a video telling people that what I'm showing is safe. Those of us with allergies learn to look at something and quickly adapt it. Case in point for just this video: Primavera Pasta is spot on for me when I leave out the black pepper. The rest all good for me; Corn Salad, no pepper of course, sub red peppers for the tomatoes and I have allergy safe dinner for me. Rice salad is a no go since I'm allergic to rice and didn't think it looked like something I'd care to adapt. Done. 2 new ideas quickly adapted. I'm grateful for the ideas.

@samanthatomasek4677 3 года назад

I found your videos recently and think they're great for the most part. But if I could make a suggestion, it would be helpful if you would include a recipe list in the description. It's a little confusing and tedious to have to re-watch the videos over and over to get a recipe. Also, on occasion, you forget to mention an ingredient i.e. the carrots in the pasta primavera- I saw them and could sort of guess how many to include but an actual number would have been helpful. Or the ranch in the taco salad dressing. You mentioned it was added but I don't recall hearing how much exactly. Just a thought. Thanks for the great content!
