You’ve mentioned in your previous videos about not using a whole pound of meat or not using all the meat a recipe calls for. I honestly didn’t think it would work for my family because my boyfriend is a big meat eater but I noticed that I always had food by the end of the week from some of the meals I cooked. Even when we’ve eaten leftovers. Thanks to your wonderful channel, my blood BOILS when I end up throwing food away at the end of the week, especially meat! So expensive. Lol. So I finally tried your tip & it absolutely worked. I took out a pound of ground beef to cook and I decided to only use half for meat sauce and half the next day for burger bombs. It was absolutely enough for both meals! I even had enough left over each time for lunch the next day for my son and I. I always felt like I needed so much meat/food but it’s now proven Ive been cooking too large of meals for my family of 3. 😂 I can’t tell you how great your tips have been helping me get control over my family’s food budget. From recreating leftovers as another meal & now saving money on meat! You’ve been helping me since I found your channel a few months ago & STILL manage to give great tips. Thank you so much for all you do miss Mindy. My family and I are very thankful 😊

for the tomato paste..I buy the cans but I put an ounce in each cavity of a silicone ice cube tray and then when frozen put in a ziploc bag and keep in the freezer..grabbing what I need!

You're seriously my favorite YouTuber!! It's a pet peeve of mine, throwing away anything. You've really helped me think outside of the box so nothing is going to waste!! Thank you so much!

When i use half of a pound of ground meat i steam cook my ground meat in a third cup of water and add a grain to it like bulgur, regular oats, barley and let the grain absorb the cooking liquid when done cooking the addition of the grain in the meat stretches it to a pound worth! Thanks for the tip to pop the apple cake bars into the fridge, often times setting in the fridge does greatly improve the flavor pallet!

Thank you for the laugh on the cheese grater. Thanks for teaching people the right way to use it

One way I save on meat in a recipe (those that call for ground beef) I remove about 1/4 pound and make a burger patty. ( do this of coarse before it is frozen the first time) then just go on with the recipe as normal....when I have enough burgers in the freezer to feed us we have a burger night. It is almost like a free meal. I have 2 sons and a husband who will eat a lot. Both boys and husband over 6 feet and 200 pounds and they never seem to notice that there is less meat in the spaghetti or casserole etc. I have done this for years now and the boys would have complained if noticed. (my dear husband not so much, as long as he is happy I am too)

We call it taco pasta because I use any kind of pasta on hand. We love it!! Specially the kids! 😋

These recipes look great. I’m always looking for grab and go breakfast ideas. A lot of recipes for quick things have peanut butter and my son is allergic so I’m excited when I see a recipe that could work for him!

[jammueller]

You are my favorite..tips, budget meals, love it!!

[karmonbarger]

Really good looking recipes. I think our family would eat all of those, so I will be incorporating them I to our menu! Thanks for sharing this!

Just like to say that your thoughtfulness goes a long way for some one that can't afford much. GOD BLESS you and your family for your help.

We love taco spaghetti and I have a similar recipe but for the instant pot - works well all the time and it’s a keeper for our family!! 🥰🥰

[KP-uspq]

I’m vegetarian and this still gave me some really good ideas! Thank you!🤗

[juliemariariley]

You always make me laugh when I watch your videos! I laugh because I can relate to the small things that 'everyday people' do- at least I think they would- this day the cheese in the storage bag got me going! I do the same thing with cheese- most of the time all the remnants get combined to use in casseroles soups, sandwich melts- Thank you again for sharing your recipes and tip with us- I never heard about the apple peel in the brown sugar- I love it 🌻😁

[robino]

Nice call on the Taco Spaghetti! I always love how you talk through your recipes.

[Knicole]

Love this video! I’m always excited to have new ideas for dinners that don’t make 15 dishes to clean! 😂

Editing to add: love your new logo!

[tammifields]

Baked oatmeal is our new thing! Lol there's a ton of different recipes out there. We heat it up and put yogurt over it, very good. Thanks again for your great videos and recipes!
