I’m a single older lady on a pretty tight budget. Your videos are and have been so helpful to me. I appreciate the time and effort you lovingly put into your content. I’m sure you are showing the majority of ladies with families. However they are watched and perceived positively but many more people. Thank you so much for sharing. Much love from Ohio ♥️

The sauce you made before you added the cheese is the same white sauce my mom would add to new potatoes or english peas and just use salt and pepper. You are making me remember how my mom would budget her meals to feed 6 with only one income before dad got his ssi at 45. She made too much for food stamps but not enough to pay all the extra doctor bills and buy food and household bills. Some how by God's grace and moms saving ways we kept the house and stayed fed. Those were lean times.

I love the sausage gravy and biscuits! I laughed when you compared "Delux Mom" to "Standard Issue Mom" 😂🌻 It got me thinking...My Mom was "Fend for Yourselves Mom" ! I really appreciate your channel especially the budget meal ideas! Thank you 😊

Props to your kids. I saw their reflection in the microwave and they patiently waited for you to finish your video.
Good Parenting!

I love biscuit and gravy as a single dad it is a nice quick meal and sometimes breakfast for dinner is a nice pleasant change of pace. Great video!!

Biscuits and gravy and grits---two things every self respecting southerner should know how to cook! I'm from Missouri, I don't know if I'm Northern or Southern so I'm trying to learn both LOL! I love the real life type video. ty

Glad to know I'm not alone in my dislike of avocados!! I've tried to like them so many times, but I just can't do it!

In my opinion - you can never go wrong with breakfast for dinner!! And it’s usually pretty cheap too! Love the 2 pasta dishes too…I try to watch how much pasta I eat though. I could eat if for every meal if I really wanted 😂👍

To make a gravy or cream sauce without oil or butter.
In a dry pan, put the flour and toast it over a low heat and until it begins to change color stir constantly.
This will add a slight nuttiness to the flour, the darker the color the stronger the nutty flavor.
When the flower has reached a very light brown add the liquids and cook as you normally would for a sauce.
I’ve done this many times and it works very well especially if you’re adding a broth like chicken, beef, or turkey that is left over from something you’ve cooked and it has its own grease on the top.
I have also made several gravies out of just flour and water when nothing else was available, with salt and pepper it turns out really good.

I buy a big bag of powdered milk and I find it works well in recipes and is very economical and shelf stable.

Sausage gravy is a great meal to use up milk about to go bad. Also if you don't have biscuits you can serve it over steamed potatoes or toast.

Dear Mindy, I so much enjoy your channel. This post was a little carb heavy for me BUT I got great meal ideas for my grandsons, Henry (9yo) and Shep (4yo) who eat mass quantities of food. Fortunately they eat everything! We shop Aldi for their great prices on fruits and vegetables which are about 80% of our diet. Blessings

First day of school we did a big pancake breakfast for our kindergartener and the neighbor kids that he’s made friends with. Every day sense then he has had a granola bar 🤷‍♀️ it’s all about balance lol
