I loved this video. I could really relate to your real world ability to make multiple meals on a budget.
Also, time saving meals in the crockpot and meat free.
I really appreciate you! Single mom here trying to hold it down!

I love Aldi. It has been such a life saver for our family. ! Fyi those bags of the little tri colored sweet peppers you can use the seeds and grow your own red orange and yellow peppers.

That broccoli stem can be blanched and frozen. $everal together will make broccoli soup. Make it easy br placing the stem on top of the ingredients in your crock pot and after a couple hrs remove, cool and bag up for freezer. Keep adding stems till you have enough. I then only need 1/2 a fresh or frozen broccoli for a hearty soup. I cook rice separately and add to bowl before serving. I also dolop sour cream on top but it's not necessary.

I love how simple and budget friendly these meals are, done in the slow cooker. It is perfect for a family.❤

You could also make veggie broth in the crockpot with leftover onion skins and the insides of peppers to save on those bullion cubes💕💕

I made the Moroccan soup, delicious! And the tortilla soup, AMAZING! I will be trying the others, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the ones I tried so far. Tortilla soup will definitely be on my regular rotation. So easy and yummy.

We are supposed to have a cold front come our way this weekend. A couple of these hearty soups will warm our souls and bellies. They all look tasty. Excited to try them.

I cook for 1 however it is still necessary to budget and do the best I can with my resources. Last week I cooked 1 pound of Hamburger The next day I took a can of Mushroom soup, around 1.5 cups of Instant Mashed Potato, 1 16 a ounce bag of Mixed Vegetables, and 9 ounces of fresh Mushrooms. All of these items were used to make 2 meals only the mushroom soup was not used in the second meal. I even used a little of the Mashed Potato to thicken the second meal.
First meal Cottage Pie 5 portions. Second meal Hamburger Vegetable Soup 4 portions. This is 9 portions or servings using a pound of meat. With the Soup of course I will have Crackers or a slice of bread to bulk it up. And with the Cottage Pie I added a side of cooked Turnip. I season my food well and that I think helps with eating leftovers.
This method is saving resources, time, money, energy, and of course fuel costs.

Thanks for this video! I remember watching you years ago in your house renovating with your home schooled girls. I'm so glad your video jumped into my feed. Such a good content!!

Thank you for this useful and informative video.

Have you considered using dried beans instead of canned? They need to be soaked overnight before cooking but you can save some money that way.

Happy cooking!

A Hint: You can also eat the stems of broccoli. Pick a bunch(es) of broccoli with thinner main stem(s). (Some are quite overgrown). Cut off the woody end part and dice the remaining stem. Quite tasty. Works great in stir fry also. Likewise, the leaves of beets are edible and tasty.

Sweet lady I’m writing on a friends account. I just wanted to tell you that I am so grateful. How wonderful that you would share your knowledge with the world. Today I was thinking about how to feed myself and another person I know who is vegan and struggling financially. So I was so lost about how to cook vegan stuff and I have a crockpot and I did put crockpot vegan meals, and I even got affordable crockpot, vegan meals which is even better! Thank you so so much for blessing me today and allowing me to bless others. And thank you so much for just showing the recipe and verbalizing the amounts you’re putting in all the ingredients so I don’t have to go to another website to find that information simple. And enormously helpful. I signed up to your channel lots of love ❤️❤️❤️

Binge watching your videos… my family is on such a tight budget.. really appreciate you making these

[kristiecox]

All of these meals look amazing, easy and delicious.

[delightfullife]

I really like how simple and healthy these recipes are. Amazing content. Can’t wait to try some out. The substitutions are so inspiring because we can just use what we have and make it work.

P.s. I will stop buying veggie broth and get the cubes 🤓

[cavenavasagam]

You are feeding a family on a budget. Creative meals are what our anchestors made with simple ingredients. You have mastered the art of cooking. You don't need bullion cubes. Vegetables and spices slow cooked in their own broth with just water or coconut milk is enough. You can use lime/lemon juice to finish. We used Tamarind juice too for sweet and sour flavor.
