With today's grocery prices; I tried to create 3 simple meals that are under $10.... They are all Walmart designed; but by all means if you have other stores that you can get items much much cheaper.... DO IT! They may not be the most healthiest meals but they will definitely fill bellies! IF YOU LIKE THIS KIND OF CONTENT; GIVE IT A THUMBS UP AND SUBSCRIBE; ALSO SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS EN...
DECISION HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT MY OLD PLANT
มุมมอง 82วันที่ผ่านมา
#dayinthelife It was a tough decision and took me a few weeks to make it; but I just had to make it..... However, I'm certain the clippings will grow and I can start a new venture with that. Also, since I was outside I decided to pot my daughters spider plant that desperately needed to be done. IF YOU LIKE THIS KIND OF CONTENT; GIVE IT A THUMBS UP AND SUBSCRIBE ENJOY!

HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP (using up items that need to be used up)
มุมมอง 18614 วันที่ผ่านมา
#cooking I recently defrosted my upright freezer and had a container of chicken broth that was left over from a canning project of chicken broth. I also had noodles that were from the fall and those definitely needed to be used. I also used up 3 turkey stock that was from 2023 for this soup. It is just a basic soup but boy was it delicious!!

Welcome!
Which All American canner do you have? And thanks for sharing your canning journey!
Thank you for your comment! I have the 921 All American canner. I've had it for 4 years now; no problems with it either.
@Homemakingwithmema thank you!!! We have the same canner, but we've only had it for a few months😃 our very first time canning and enjoying the All American. Thanks for sharing your videos, and look forward to you uploading more!
Oh how exciting! It's been so fun canning; I wish I grew up with mentors to show me, because I would of started way before 55 y/o... I do know if you think you have any issues with your lid (gauge problems or if you accidentally drop it); All American company states to send it to them and they will test it. I am sure you'd have to pay but at least they will do it. I've been told they will let you know if it is okay or if you need replacement. Just keep that in mind if you ever have those issues.
@@Homemakingwithmema thank you kindly!!!
Good job! I need to do that with the top of my fridge and stop putting it off. 😅
Thank you! Yeah its like "out of sight out of mind" area is it not!! hahah I had to get a cleaning sponge with straight dawn soap to get the film off.... We don't fry hardly at all but for some reason the top of the fridge always gets a film like we do.
Really enjoying this video!🍂💝
Thank you!!
Great! I buy 1 1/2 lb. Chuck roast for $6 $3.99 lb. Make 2 meals out of it. 1- Roast in crock with gravy,1/2 onion 🧅 1/2 bell pepper 🫑 2 tablespoons of brown gravy, add carrots and potatoes Served over rice about $7 2- cut the rest of the roast into cubes for vegetable beef soup, use 1/2 can diced tomatoes 1/2 pack beefy onion flavor dry soup, 2 russett potatoes and a bag of mixed vegetables. Cornbread’s ( jiffy) About $7 2 meals for $14-$15
GREAT tip!! I think any of us whom can gather ideas and spread the word; it will help all of us out!! I truly love the two meals out of one tip.... I try all the time to get as much for my money as possible. Have a GREAT DAY!
Please make more of these videos, very helpful for so many families. I live where groceries are a bit more and Walmart carries very few fresh and frozen items, but I followed you meal plans and did an online order as best I could. For the canned chicken and frozen turkey I subbed a bag of 4 lbs frozen chicken legs and canned potatoes for the instant potatoes. I had enough left over to add in a can of peas and a can of carrots. My total was $29.65. I will be making your meal ideas this week. I try once a week to make a homemade soup, leftovers can be used as soup or a different dish
Thank you; I will try definitely! I'm right in the middle of trying to get all my Fall cleaning done by the end of this month (I'm real close). Just getting ideas and doing the research definitely is so helpful! I want to make more soups with leftovers but my husband takes most of the leftover for his lunches; which that's okay too. I wish I had another store to turn to in my small town but we do not.... I hate to just get a few things in another town when it costs just as much in gas to go. I told my husband we need to make a day of errands to have an excuse for my bigger hauls... Have a great day!
@@Homemakingwithmema near me I have a grocery outlet and dollar tree, I have Walmart deliver, to many people at Walmart and I have a disabled teen. Meals are a bit different for us as my teen has feeding issues, but I like inexpensive and/or pantry meal ideas that I can switch/sub foods. Looking forward to more of your videos
Thanks!
Welcome!
Maybe you need a hive over there the attract the bees to make some honey and get them away from the house.
I think I forgot to say they are "Hornets" they don't do honey; just sting real good... Unfortunately; they burrowed holes in the cement between the cinder blocks of the basement; so we had to hire a professional to come in.... It seems to have worked.
Good morning. I’m on relish duty this morning Mema and laundry. I like to set the timer for 30 mins and switch up tasks.
Thank you for your comment! That's awesome!! Whatever works to get the tasks done! I've never tried a timer.... Maybe I'll give it a try! What kind of relish are you making? My husband wants me to can pickled jalapenos.... I'm not a fan but I may try.
Also on organizing missions. What do they burn flags for?
Thank you for your comment! In the United States; it is asked that when you have an American Flag that is worn to the point of replacement; to burn properly with a dedication of pride. The American Legion folks in my area, have a ceremony with Honor Guard, Fire Dept. (with the proper equipment to burn and extinguish), Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts if they wish; to do this. The first time I went I was so surpised how many people donated, was probably over 100. Also; Flags that covered service men and women at their funerals; and families want to donate those as well are done. I actually went one time to the thrift store locally and asked if they had any; (ones that covered caskets of military service people) because I heard they do NOT resell them in our area and they actually had a box of them; so those were burned with honor as well.
Here's a good recipe for white fish. Melt 1 tbsp. butter in a 9x9 baking dish. Add your fish, salt, pepper and garlic and the juice of 1 lemon. Throw in a handful of grape tomatoes and bake covered at 375 for (I can't remember how long...25ish minutes?). Serve with rice and a veg...yum! 😋
Thanks for the tips!
More noodles the better. Add some broken tortilla chips, lime juice, and hot sauce before serving. 😊
Thank you for your comment! Oh we agree; more noodles the better! Oh my husband would love the hot sauce for sure, lol
Thank you for showing real life. I have a room like this (without the bed0 and it is my catchall room. You have given me some hope that I can get through it one day. I always have a box ready for Goodwill.. and there is always a small item that goes in there.. And I love my cookbooks as well, although there too, I have given some away and I regret that as well.
Thank you for your comment! As you get older and the kids move out; my thought has always been, what am I going to do with these rooms.... We've kept two for sleeping when we have grand kids and company but otherwise; pantry and storage is what it is.... I also have a box ready for the thrift store all the time... Great minds think alike!
I didn't know that "nobody" uses bookends anymore, but I do! 😊 And yes, I did get most of them at thrift stores so people are donating them. Happy to see someone else is using their guest bedroom for storage. In our new house, we are planning on putting two shelf units in the guest bedroom to store little used items or things bought in large quantities. Hoping to box up most of it to cut down on dusting (I live in Arizona). Have never seen the larger green tupperware before. It must be newer. My celery keeper is the small one like you have and is 56 years old! You did a great job on your shelves!
Thank you for commenting. I've been look at different bookends; cannot find any... but I won't give up. I believe my green Tupperware celery holder is from the 90's so it's not vintage but they do not manufacture it any longer. Oh yes, the kids are grown up and I have utilized rooms to my needs but kept a few for sleepovers; one room downstairs is my pantry with bookshelves and canning shelves. Have a Great Day!
HELLO GTSY PS I HAVE THE SAME STOVE AND IM ALSO A MEMA X9 LOL ALSO THE SAME CANNER
Hello!!!! Welcome MEMA!! Us "old" girls think alike!!
Why did this get so many down votes? I wish I had a bowl of it right now.
Aww; Thank you! Its okay; my cooking will not please everyone.... But hey, I used up things I had on hand and that's what is important.
What size Bundt pans did you use! If I use a 6” Bundt pan how long do you think it should be baked
Thank you for your question. I have two small bundt pans; I did the lowest time that it advised and than go from there. If you have a smaller one; start out at 10 min. and check, go from there. I hope this is helpful.
looks like a wonderful trip. The tree looks like a mountain ash tree!
Thank you. We were one week early before the color change. If we would of waited there would of been a lot of red and orange as well as the yellow.
Love the video!!!!!
Thank you!!
Love this! Please make more use what you have videos. New subbie❤
Thank you for your comment! I certainly try and plan on it; especially with the economy in todays world.
Parsley pesto uses Walnut. 2c roughly chopped,lughtly packed parsley,2/3c walnuts, 1/2c Parmesan cheese,3medium garlic cloves roughly chopped,1/2 fine sea salt pulse above u til u iform texture. Add 2/3c olive oil pour until incorporated 5:39
Thanks for the tips!
Do you just make your mashed potatoes normally and then freeze them? Then just defrost and use as usual?
Thank you for your question. Yes I do; I do not use milk though; I use sour cream or cream cheese. Just my preference. After you thaw them in the refrigerator; put them in a microwave safe dish; microwave 2 min increments, stir, continue for at least 7-8 min total. They will seem "soupy" at first; but I promise they will stiffen up and BAM.... Mashed taters homemade.
Also can you add any spices, like a little salt?
Thank you for your question. Oh most definitely salt can be added; any spice can be add as it will not compromise the USDA pressure cooking results or the outcome of the product.
What was the vinegar used for?
Sorry I didn't mention that; I use vinegar to wipe the top and side rims of the jars as if any juices drip on the jars; the seal of the canning lid could be compromised; especially if there is a fat (grease). Vinegar cuts through any possible grease. I don't remember if I mentioned as well; I add a splash of vinegar to my canner water as the minerals in my tap water make my jars cloudy on the outside; the vinegar helps keep that down. Have a great day!
Yeah, canning hamburger meat, to me, has the consistency of dog food. LOL!! Hide it in taco meals!!😜😜 But I guess when SHTF, we'll love it, right! Good video.
I used to think the same until I learned to brown the meat before putting in the canning jars.
@@joecannon5593 Definitely! I cook mine beforehand as well. The only thing I'll raw pack is chicken.
Thank you! Yes the texture is different!! Hiding it is the KEY! LOL
I do cook mine; however not to the browning stage.... Maybe I should
Canned Hamburger is great for Tacos, burritos, chilli, spaghetti/pasta baked & sloppy joes. It is the perfect texture for those dishes and you can add the seasonings to your liking. It is def worth canning.
Im coming over for lasagne some day!!
I've tried this popcorn and it is amazing! Two thumbs up!
Thank you!!!
I love grocery shopping trips from other countries, it really makes you understand the culture right? I'm from Germany but I live in Japan now and love exploring the supermarkets here! 😍
Thank you! I like seeing how different foods are as well with cost in different states here and other countries.... Makes me appreciate the fact that most of our food here in my state (Minnesota) are not taxed.... yet... Have a great day!
Try kens italian dressing i like it alot, this is dixie from texas.
Thank you Dixie; I will look to see if my area carries it... Sometimes things are not sold in my area; upper midwest... Which makes trying things others use difficult; my area does not carry Dukes mayo and I really would like to try it.. Thinking of ordering it online
Thanks!
Can I buy the vacuum from you
haha; it was purchased at walmart, nothing fancy... but I love the retractable cord for sure
@@Homemakingwithmema will u let the vacuum run upright for 5 minutes
Thanks!
Welcome!
I love your channel! I've become addicted. I've learned so much from you. You gave me dinner prep ideas for those days I have to work in office instead of getting take out on my way home as well as overall money saving ideas. All those that lived here have passed and I've been struggling on all levels alone for the past 11 months. You even motivated me to get out of my slump, if only for a little while, and deep clean here and there. I've even made a list of pantry items and a list to make some of your meals. All that said, I'm sorry you had to make a video like this due to rude comments. A short video doesn't show the whole picture. Those with a brain know this. You keep doing you. You are helping. I appreciate you.
Aww, THANK YOU! YOU MADE MY DAY!!
Ye like 🎉
What a motivating video! I love how realistic it is. Your home is warm and inviting, and you really worked hard and made it even better by tidying 💗
Thank you!
Im watching you in my lazyboy.... you did all the work.... why am I tired? 😂😂 You are motivating me to get up and do this more often.
Thank you! Oh don't think I don't have my days of sitting and watching TV or TH-cam videos; I certainly do.... Sometimes you just have too!
Im glad your videos popped up for me. Slow paced (not in a bad way), easily see what your doing. Real life & homey. I recently made a bunch of very basic english muffin sandwiches. I wrapped them in paper too. Then stacked them right inside the english muffin bags(threw out the cardboard) and also a bread bag and put them in the freezer. My sister told me that cost saving tip. But im not against ziplock bags. Lord knows I use a ton.😊
Thank you! We have to be frugal now-a-days; this is one way.
Hi! Looks like an arduous task! How do you reheat the bacon?
It is quite a task but boy not having that grease mess on my stovetop is so worth it. We reheat it in the microwave or you can place it in a fry pan on very low to reheat it. Thank you for your comment!
Nice little haul 👍
Love ur meals today I’m new to ur channel hagd
Thank you!
Im a stocker.we have 2 huge long lengthy shelves of canned foods.dry foods we have to put in a large rubbermaid container so that mice dont get in!however i dont have a garden,but catch any sales.Love to go down in the basement& sometimes just look at it& say thank you Lord we are blessed!
Thank you for you input; all ideas, suggestions and just knowing others are doing the same is so much appreciated! I love that you admit you just go and admire you efforts; because I seriously do the same thing but did not want to admit it; thinking I was weird for doing it!! I'm not, it truly is a BLESSING from our Lord!!
I love doing " prepwork" in the kitchen such a load off my shoulders on busy days.just tonight my husband said he was craving spaggetti.guessxwhat......few months ago i made spagetti&triple batch sauce.good news we had spagetti within 20 minutes.my husband was WOW! ITS DONE ALREADY???????
That is so AWESOME!! It is such a great feeling is it not!! We just had spaghetti to a few days ago, and yes I pulled a home canned sauce with meat off my shelf and it was done in no time! Keep up your efforts for you and you family, as it is working!
Absolutely love you raise beds for garden ❤
Thank you!
Have you compared the cost of bottled salsa with making yours with canned tomatoes? I think when you grow tomatoes it would be considerably less, but wondered about purchased tomatoes. Just curious.
I have not.... Oh i'm sure it is much less. I was quite frankly just going the quicker route. Bad on my part but I do more pressure canning than I do waterbath canning. Thanks for the question!
Wow, your foods are expensive... from Canada here, it is not much different, however that looks expensive.. I enjoy all of your videos..
I totally agree! The bacon has gone up again; almost everything has gone up just in a month; what I am seeing. We only pray that after our elections we get some sort of a relief, no matter how it all turns out. Thank you for your comment!
Where is the amounts of ingedients?
Thank you for the question. This recipe was not mine to share; I looked it up on another youtuber channel; Suttonsdaze is the name of the channel. Hope that helps.
Nice and easy recipe! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.
Thank you; your very welcome!
Yummy
I saw you were using your crockpot. They say to never lock it when cooking because they can blow up. Too much pressure builds up. Please be careful 🤗
Thank you! Never thought of that.... especially if you leave the house for multiple hours; that wouldn't be good at all!
