Stir your dried gravy mix (or flour) into your potatoes or meat BEFORE adding the liquid to prevent the dried ingredient from clumping. A trick my mother-in-law taught me many years ago. Also, drain the liquids from your beans (except black beans)and other vegetables into your measuring cup then fill with the water needed for the recipe. This will save the nutrients in the juices and add flavor to your dish.

I'm a single 38-year-old dude and I'm pretty sure this is one of my new favorite channels. Thank you!!

I used to work in a pizza place and before I finished my shift I would make a pizza to take home. And every time, I would add the garlic butter they used for garlic strips, to my pizza before I added the sauce. The flavour it adds is amazing!

God bless your channel! As a twenty-something that has her first apartment with my fiancé, we are meal planning every week and hitting up Walmart and your recipes have been so delicious and budget-friendly!

My 4 year old daughter and I made the French bread pizza tonight and it was a hit! I love that I could involve her in the process and she actually ate it! Thank you for these recipes.

With my husband going on long-term disability and me staying home to care for him...your meal ideas are soooo helpful! Going to try that potato soup one soon, we just got a bunch of snow~

Been on a tight budget this week, made 3 of these already and my hubby is pleased, thank you for all your videos

The potato soup has become one of our favorite camping dinners. It’s so easy to pack and throw together. In fact many of your recipes have become easy and delicious camping recipes for us.

In the last soup, I would add fresh sliced Zucchini instead of the canned green beans. It would still be within budget and taste so much more fresh!!🤗. Love your budget recipes! I have 11 kids so I just double and triple your recipes!!❤️

I love these ideas! It is cheaper and healthier to use frozen mixed vegetables. You can get a 5 lb bag for about $6-$7 and use a cup at a time as needed or get 1 lb bags For around a dollar and just use half if you would like. It has twice as much as the can and doesn't have all of the preservatives.
