Love it when you take us to the store with you and actually show which items are the better buy. I shop at Walmart too so this was especially good. Thanks Julia!

The quiche and pot pie is a great way to use leftover veggies for a no waste kitchen. Love the lentil ideas!

[juliescheidler]

Julia, you did such a good job with a variety of recipes staying on budget. You're showing people they can still eat well while watching their pennies!😊

[whitsworld]

I love the little vignettes you create with the little Wood signs behind the stove 😊they make me happy to read the cute phrases. Great job on the recipes!

[angiehayes]

We did vegetable pot pie and I repeat what my husband said, "whatever you did, you can do it again!" That was awesome! We added smoked hamburger because we had it on hand and needed to use it. But wow, girl, so good. This was another one of those recipes that intimated me! I overcame, thanks for helping!!!👍🤗

Every Sunday your videos are the first thing I watch in the morning! Always look forward to it

I make lentil meals all the time! It's such a great way to bulk up a small amount of meat or substitute the meat altogether. Lentil Salisbury steaks are soooo good & so are spiced lentil potato tacos/tostadas

Another pro tip: when boiling the lentils, I like to add a bay leaf & a dried chipotle and/or arbol chile to give it extra flavor

Goodness Julia 💗 you’ve outdone yourself again! These look so yummy!!! Thank you for sharing!

Ms. Pacheco, please consider using a spatula or scraper on your cans. There was I guess 1 more tacos worth of refreids in that can. Just something my Dad taught me (I am in my late 40's and lived through the last major recession in the early 80's). Your recipes are very welcome at this time and are a reminder of the days when everyone ate leftovers and used everything they had access to. Thanks.

[loislemkay]

I enjoy seeing and reading all the signs around your kitchen Julia. They are very inspiring. Thank you. ❤️

[denicesanders]

I really appreciated the shopping segment. I no longer am able to do the grocery shopping, therefore, your info about yellow vs white onions and the peppers give me the opportunity to tell my husband how to shop smarter. I love being so clever.
The quiche and the pot pies are big winners. Thank you Julia, your always keeping our budgets and meal ideas in the forefront.
Macy was so sweet napping away while Momma was cooking.

[sundaysmoker]

Thanks for sharing your budget friendly meals. Prices are so high every where. I loved seeing your sweet baby sleeping while you are cooking it made me smile ❤️

[mshockey]

Thanks Julia! I've always wanted to try making a quiche:)

[omaerin]

Hi Julia, very budget friendly recipes. I hope the prices don't keep climbing. Nice to see the girls shopping and helping out in the kitchen, well sleeping in the kitchen so mama can get her dinner done. I can't believe she can sleep while you're doing all that. I was afraid her little head was going to wind up in the frying pan. lol I know you wouldn't let that happen. Thanks for sharing. Stay well and safe. ❤

[RichMurrayGranite]

I love how you don’t mess around with the seasoning. Heavy seasoning is the way to go! That stuff all looks awesome. Thank you for sharing!

[michelleeliseharding]

Absolutely love that vegetable quiche. I actually prefer water in my eggs over milk because it steams them from the inside and makes them super fluffy -- and it is budget friendly! Thank you for all these great recipes!
