What folks may miss is that when you cut the portions of meat servings you are also adding protein through the cheese in the meal. With prices so high we need to be creative in how we maintain nutrition while providing delicious meals to our families. Great job Brooke

Stop apologizing for your pan! Mine looks the exact same way because I use them often. Thanks for all you do!

Let's all help Brooke by letting the ads play during her videos. Thx everyone

I appreciate the fact that you stretched 2 chicken breasts to feed your family. It's fine to have a larger portion once in a while but over all less is healthier. An actual portion of animal protein is the size of a deck of cards so your serving size was spot on. Plus the eggs in the coating and cheese had protein as do potatoes and green beans.

The joy of my morning!!! Thanks for being the best channel ❤
I just wrote our next family meal plan/grocery list, 2 WEEKS FOR $90! I could never have done it without your channel!

My kids don't love red sauce, but they love buffalo sauce. I heat buffalo sauce with chicken broth, thicken it with roux or cornstarch, put that over breaded chicken, top with cheese, and bake. Serve with rice, pasta, or potatoes.

My kids are growing and always hungry. Sheesh. It is harder to keep them satisfied. I used to think it was because they're bored. They're going through a growth spurt. I love these videos.

I've been stocking up a pantry because of you cooking more at home andlearning new cheap recipes I am s glad I found your channel absolutely love you

If you put sweet pickle relish in your “fancy sauce” it becomes thousand island dressing!

[GigisHouse]

Your meals look delish! The cracker salad must be a southern thing, I was raised in the North, and I've never heard of it. But I also don't know everyone in the North, so, who knows??! Lol. I have pans that have been loved just as much as yours, its good to know they have cousins out there:-) I will have to try the salad and the chow chow. I've always wanted to try that. Somewhat still wet behind the ears in canning. P.S. Your children are adorable!

In Idaho we call your fancy sauce “fry sauce”. Your meals look delicious

I tried to make cut backs for January. I have already spent $220. That being said, I do not have to go back to the grocery store for 2 weeks. I was able to get some good sales and paid $24.89 for 7 1/2 dozen crated eggs.

How's your husband doing praying for a speedy recovery 🙏💕

[gloriapeel]

Thanks so much for sharing! Everything looks awesome! You should do a cook book! It would be a best seller ! Love to you and your family!

[michellebeltran]

Made the general Tso chicken from aldi last night! Everyone ate that up!! Thank you so much for the idea. And paired it with the spring rolls from the dollar tree!

[deborahgreene]

You are just amazing! You are definitely frugal and such a good cook! Thanks for sharing your life with your precious family! God bless you and yours! 🙏🏻👵❤

i love mixing Mayo and katsup as a sauce, I eat it with French fries

[PeriwinkleBluetag]

I thought I had seen just about everything but I have never heard of cracker salad and I’m Southern. You are an awesome cook and I love how frugal you are. But most of all I appreciate what good parents you are and how your boys eat everything.

Breakfast for dinner is always a hit in our house. I try to do it 2-3 X a month.
We usually don't eat first thing in the morning either.
