More good ideas! and don't you worry about washing chicken.. I am 63 yo.. I grew up drinking out of mud puddles.. no lie.. I hardly EVER get sick. Obsessive cleanliness does not a strong immune system make. Yeah.. I know.. TONS of people will disagree.. that's okay.. you do you, and i'll do me. :)
When my kids grew up, my house was always a mess. I worked nine hours a day and my kids went to school and nothing ever seem to get done. My kids and i were very healthy. We hardly ever got sick. My friend was a compulsive house cleaner. She mopped her floors with a mild bleach solution probably daily. She washed her walls with bleach and basically her house was germ free. She and her kids were always sick. I think we humans were made to get out into the world and the dirt makes a much better immune system❤
Exactly
Agreed. I was obsessively careful with my first born, everything got sanitized all the time....and he was sick all the time. My younger kids were hardly ever sick and I didn't obsess over dirt as much with them. After 4 kids (and several daycare kids In my home) you tend to learn to let these things go
I cannot be the only person thinking Ryder’s facial expression is giving off major “idk what sorcery made this so good but I’m suspicious” 😂
So delicious... it's suspicious 🤣🤣🤣
@@mwahl1686 exactly 😂😂
😂😂😂
😅😂
He really did!
"Inflation can kiss my rump!" 😂😂 I agree, Brooke!!
Southern Frugal mama!! Your fans love you because you are truly a good person!! You cook good food for a decent price and that is always appreciated!! Your children seem very respectful!!!
I coat my chicken in Bisquick mix (add spices to mix), put on sprayed metal pan and bake for 35 mins on 425, turn over and put back into oven for 10 more min. Excellent crispy chicken/ Been oven frying this way for 50 years. Add baking potatoes and/or squash for great oven meal. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Debi do you use the Bisquick dry? Or do you add liquid ?
@@elainemagee516it bioengined now so don't use Bisquick anymore
@robinholbrook8296 it's what??
Sounds amazing! I will try this 😊
Giiirrrrllll.. them boys looked at you like you had been holding out on them 😂😂😂
Im currently in a Rehabilitation hospital, because ive been bedridden for 2 years due to MS. I LOVE watching your videos, as im getting ideas for when i get to go home! I got to stand the other day, first time in 2 years! Just wanted to say THANK YOU, Brooke! Please keep up this series, because it hits real close to home for me!
Now that you're standing, do a little boogie inside as a celebration!! 🎉
I'm just reading your comment 10 months later... I hope you are doing well!
I don’t really have a food budget and I’m not food insecure, thank God!! But I love your channel and all of your recipes!!! And of course YOU❤
Thank youuuuu!!
Well u r blessed to not have a good budget , i wished no one had one , it's hard out here .
I agree, I love this channel! And 👋 Tina! I see you often over on Tasha’s channel! 🤭
Wow are you blessed!! ❣️❣️
Most people have a food budget at least and in these times I can't imagine anyone not being food insecure.
I don’t HAVE to watch my spending too much, but I LOVE spending less on good food if I can. Her meal ideas have been a hit here.
When you get an "OMG thats really good", "holy crap" and a fainting kid as reactions from 3 kids, you have made something GREAT! I've gotta try this recipe. We love chicken in the airfryer but have never tried that sauce. Looks yummy! 😋
I’m really enjoying this series and that you aren’t using anything from the pantry. It’s frustrating to look at a 5 ingredient recipe that uses about 10 seasonings plus oil and milk etc. Really appreciate your ideas, time, effort and positive attitude. You are realistic and down to earth. Thanks 🙏
I love that you take the boys with you, teaching them to save/shop/plan.
Keep up with this series. I'm loving it and the grocery disco moves were killer! Be blessed always, Brooke & Co.! xoxo
I would love to see you do a video on finding meat deals for the freezer. For instance, I got 10# bags of chicken quarters at Walmart for $4.72. There was 8 chicken quarters in each bag. I bought 4 bags & separated the thigh from the leg. I put 4 thighs in each bag & 6 legs in each bag (last bag got 8). For my family of 3, that's 13 bags of chicken for the freezer for under $20.
They usually have that same 10 lb bag of leg and thigh Quarters at Aldi as well. Same price range.
@@lolareh8756 I love Aldi. Unfortunately where we moved does not have one closer than 250 miles away.
@Prime & Jenn Rodriguez I've been buying the giant pork tenderloin from Sam's Club for under 15 bucks. I slice it up into thick chops, butterfly chops, etc. So much cheaper to buy meat bulk and cut it yourself 😊
Ryder didn't have time to faint, he was too busy eating those awesome chicken legs!
You do an amazing job and make it fun! I never thought I'd be inn the position to need to watch the budget so tightly. When my son was diagnosed with a terminal illness, reality hit. You've helped me more than you can know. Thank you
Watching your channel makes me happy! The love, the positivity. the warmth towards each other - beautiful x
Can you please do another series after where you do a "make it to payday" series where you DO use the pantry? Cause I think most of us have oil and seasonings and I'd like to see how you spend the extra money. Please and thank you. I have followed all of your videos and it's helped me so much as a single mom. Thank you Brooke! ❤
Would love this too!!!!
Your boys are so adorable!! I love watching you guys! Thank you for the great ideas.
My daughter actually used the lemon pepper sauce with her ramen noodles, not alot she loved it!! Bought Mountain Dew and lemon cake mix, netflix and cake😊❤
Brooke, I love your boys, because they are polite, respectful, you and hubby are great parents!!!
You're correct about not washing your chicken. Here in England they warn you about not washing it on the packaging. Xx
I overcook my chicken on purpose. Crispy, Airfyer chicken thighs with bleu cheese is my favorite thing right now.
New to your channel. I absolutely love your videos! During this time in our nation I believe people will benefit from your channel. You are here for such a time as this❤
You are a breath of fresh air! Payroll has been my career for the last 30 years so I get it! I understand living paycheck to paycheck. I don’t think I’ve ever replied to a you tube but I can’t hold back! You inspire! Bless you!
I'm normally not a huge fan of chicken legs, but those looked awesome. Also, I get a kick out of the grocery dancing! Looks like it's catching on. 😁
Their future wives are already thanking you in my head 😂
Those boys were loving that chicken!
Great meal for $8!!!! Way cheaper and healthier and tastier than fast food. Will need to try this
Ky is seriously the sweetest soul! I wouldn’t believe you for one second if you said he has mean moments.
I love it when your little boy dances to this music! Love the music as well.
Your kiddos 😂😂 that was the best reaction.
Got to share this super cheap casserole for a very limited budget. This feeds 4.
2 cups cooked rice, 1 can seasoned diced tomatoes, one can steak and potato ready to eat soup.
Place in an 8x8 greased pan in the order given. Cover and bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to 425 for 15 minutes.
Delicious. Serve with canned green beans.
I love how excited you were about cooking the chicken both ways! Good energy. I love these videos! (:
I love this series because I’ve been in that spot before. Every time we’d PCS I’d just about be starting over and have nothing in my pantry.
TRUE!
We started using drumsticks for "wing" night several years ago and have never looked back. You get way more meat and they are soooo much cheaper per pound than the tiny little wings, even on sale. 🍗🍗🍗
Your kids are adorable! 🥰
Now that looked delicious! 😋 🍗🍗
Your kids are so cute and nice kids! Colin's a cutie!
Brooke! Keep this series please.. I love it, and you ❤️
Thank you for showing the oven way too! We get legs from the food bank a lot, I guess I need to get that sauce! 💕🙏🏼
This recipe needs to be in that cookbook you are working on. Please! I can’t wait to make this.
I need to make this for my grandbabies, it looks so tasty! Also, just an idea for a future meal or series: making melas from a conglomeration of the bits and bobs in your fridge. One of my children’s favorite meals was a concoction I made on the fly one night with a box of Jiffy corn bread mix, 2 hot dogs, a can of chili, and a partial bag of shredded cheese (it was all we had at the time.) I got requests to make this over and over again throughout the years.
I am envious that you can go to multiple stores in one trip. I have noticed that I can't make the same as your budget, but that is just because we have stores about 40 minutes from our house in all four directions. But you do an amazing job, I get tips and I would love watching you anyway.
Hi! Just wanted to say I got a digital thermometer from Walmart and it has saved me from raw meat many many times😆 I have never had luck with the oldtimey thermometer but the digital one is where it’s at! It even has what temps different meat should be right on the sleeve it goes in! Be blessed!
I got one from Temu😊❣️
Love this series ❤ I hope that you keep doing it off and on. I love you meal inspirations. Girl you ROCK!!!!
Walmart also has this wing sauce in a package mix which is a dollar cheaper. If you buy that then you could buy two cans of the vegetables that are on sale right now For $.50 a can along with this.
I'm glad you stress having a pantry. I've been in financial distress for months. Now my car needs a repair I can't pay for so I'm just staying home and can't buy food. I'm rationing food to the max. If I had been able to build a pantry, I wouldn't be hungry now. (Fixed income, no family) So as Brooke says, if you can make a pantry, it's a good idea.
Bless your heart.
I've been trying to cut my grocery bill with your recipes. Walmart didn't have lemon pepper so I mixed up some ranch dressing & used that. I don't have an air fryer & my oven is on the fritz, so I used my NuWave countertop oven. Those legs were WOW! The taco pizza was a HUGE hit, too. THANK YOU! Please do more Dollar Tree meals, they are SOOOO helpful!
Wow! Now I want chicken legs…. Those looked delicious!! Thanks for sharing!!
Lovin the grocery dances. 😂❤ Your youngest looks a lot like you.
What a delicious meal for under $9.00 Brooke !! I haven’t seen the Lemon Pepper sauce in my grocery store but I’m gonna look for it , I love lemon pepper seasoning and use it on chicken snd pork chops all the time! Your meals are amazing Brooke you think out of the box and come up with delicious meals!! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻
The lemon pepper sauce that she is using is at Walmart.
@@lylawaters6345 thank you so much! I have visual problems snd often can’t see clearing where an item is from , things move so fast my eyes don’t always focus fast enough! God bless 🙏🙋🏻🌈
It is great value brand, which is the Walmart store brand.
You are exactly right about washing chicken.
We love you all in our lives! Thank you for being there! The kids are great! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and helping us to budget...
Oh man those lemon pepper drumsticks and sweet potatoe fries looked So Delicious. We are making that recipe asap like now. YUM. You are marvelously wonderful. The queen of yummy budget recipes.
Your kids are so fun to watch! I love you and your family! Thanks for sharing!
I love how you feed your family ❤ You are a DANG good cook!
Your older son just kept eating and staring at you. You could tell he was one happy camper
Goodness, your oldest looked practically feral when he was wolfing on the chicken!! Haha! Too funny! So glad they loved them!
He did 😂
Our country farm family has always soaked chicken and turkey in Luke warm water and salt. It draws out any harmful things in the turkey or chicken.
I love your channel! Your boys are so sweet! Thank you for sharing your wonderful budget friendly meals and tips!
Okay, I’m making it! Thanks for a fun video with the kiddos dancing 🌺🌺
Get your groove on even in the grocery store🎉
Done when he/she rolls up the sleeves!!! And I love those baskets, have some myself!
Loved the dancing guys made my day!
That was great. Ryder was seriously impressed. Brayden was duly impressed as well. and Kylen seems to enjoy everything you make. Thanks for sharing. I have an air fryer (as part of my instant pot/slow cooker/air fryer combo but haven't used that feature yet. I'm a little intimidated by it for some reason. Not sure why. Maybe I'll have a go with it soon. Thanks for the great idea. I agree that I would like to see make it to payday meals with seasonings, oil, etc. from the pantry. That would be great. We've been stocking up so I think we can make a go of it too. Thanks again!! Love to you and your family!
I really enjoy the channel because you showcase the importance of your family. 💜
I don’t eat meat but still get ideas from you and I sub in plant protein for the meats.
You literally just fed dinner to 5 people for under $9!!!!! We are seriously blessed to be following you!!
I don’t wash my chicken either. I agree that I don’t want to get raw chicken all over the sink…..sanitize and scrub for no reason
Nice dinner love the dancing .☃️👍☃️✌️☃️💓☃️💯☃️💃☃️💯☃️😋☃️🍗🥗🥔☃️👏☃️🌟☃️🌍☃️
You can make any food look good, girl! You're a great mama❤️
Thank you so much!!
That is such a delicious sauce. I would stock up at that price. So many meals can be made with chicken legs.
Thank you for all your videos. You have some of the sweetest boys. I just love your family involvement with your content. Stay safe!
This looked yunmy I'm going to have to try. Ky is so adorable Brooke.
Your videos are so much fun. It makes my day when I see you have a new one 🎉
I love how the boys were not going to stop eating the chicken. You could see they loved it!
You're good wife and mama. Your boys are so sweet.
I really enjoy your channel! My grandfather use to tell everyone that I could look in the pantry & fridge when it seemed we had nothing in it but still come up with a awesome meal all It takes is a little imagination!!
Girl! I love your channel! We are a homeschooling suburban homesteading and prepping family. All on a budget. I so appreciate your content. Also, gotta say, your hair looks great, but I miss the roots! Gotta rock these white and grey hairs we earn.😉🥰
I've LOVED these videos! I am about to through my slowly growing my pantry... because I need to do some grocery shopping tomorrow....and I NEED A LIST! It is just me and 2 kitties so sometimes I.
struggle planning single person meals. But I started doing regular batches of seasoned hamburger (speghetti), chilli,.Rice etc., and just freezing it in portions.
When I lived alone, I hit upon the idea of buying a family pack of chicken breasts. I took them home, put them all on a large cookie sheet and seasoned them with powdered lemon pepper seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder. Bake uncovered, eat one tonight for dinner with sides. Bag the remainder individually in freezer bags and freeze. Take out when home from work and thaw & reheat in microwave. Tastes just like fresh made! 😋
Each week I would buy a family pack of a different meat (pork chops, pork steak, etc).
After 4 weeks I had an assortment of meats already cooked and frozen to choose from for dinner each night. One week I would also buy ground beef in a family pack, take home and brown in skillet, freeze in individual portions the size I wanted for spaghetti, chili, tacos, etc.
When I had whatever meats I wanted, I started over at the beginning of the rotation, cooking and freezing.
When unexpected (or even expected) company came for dinner, I could thaw however many I needed of whatever meal I chose and there I had dinner. Just make sides. 👌👍
In just a short while it became a routine that was handy, versatile, and frugal.
And the great thing was I didn't have to worry about taking something out to thaw every morning for dinner that night!
Just a suggestion that anyone cooking for one might find helpful. Cook once, eat 6-10 meals. Saves money on utilities as well since you're using the oven less.
New subscriber here. Just wanted to say I appreciate these videos. I so enjoy when vloggers share videos from the perspective of having nothing to start with. So many have freezers full of meat and a pantry well stocked and pull from there. I have been where I had nothing to begin with and it sure changes your perspective when you have to buy the flour to coat the chicken and the oil to fry it in…etc. Keep them coming
Nice job! I enjoy the boys expressions.
Back in my day... eggs and potatos were the most affordable. My mama used to cube and fry taters.. then add a can of green beans.. then take like 6-8 eggs scarmbled in a bowl then added to the pan. Stir and cook til eggs are done.. the only seasonings she used was glorious salt and pepper... OMGOSH... it was SOOOO good. I still make it to this day❤😊
Ok, with that kind of reaction I'm going to try that lemon pepper sauce! 🤣🤣
That looks so good! Great dinner!
Brooke i feel your pain on the french fries i get sick everytime i need to buy french fries. I would make them myself from potatoes but potatoes are expensive too. You can't win in potato land.
I've been saying the listeria bacteria thing for decades and people look at me daft but your right when you wash chicken it spreads .
Definitely going on my menu for next week!
I feel like for Make it to Payday situations people would very likely have pantry items like some seasonings, oil, etc. If you regularly make meals then you have something in your home. I used to be good insecure although I would never want to admit this to anyone. I remember very vividly digging through my pockets of my jackets to find $1 and change so I could go into dollar tree and get a can of sauce to make whatever I could find to put together for dinner that night. It's been a few years since my budget has been that way, but I used to worry all of the time about how to feed myself and my 2 kids until my next paycheck. I was a single Mom of 2.. for 15 years. I say that bc almost 2 years ago I got married to my husband. With both of our incomes (mostly his as he makes more than I do) we are now secure. Thank the Lord.
I just found your videos after looking for ideas for food and shopping for a family. Your ideas are so so good and I just love your vibe. I am not from the south or anything (actually a city girl) but I am loving your food ideas. Thank you for all the easy food ideas and tips. I am a single mom and I am thankful for your videos. You are a blessing.
Awesome! Thank you!
This looks SOOO GOOD! Also Ryders hair style in this reminds me of Johnny bravo. Love the nostalgia!
My parents were depression kids. I can remember my moms story about after she first got married she bought bologna and crackers from a market that she walked several blocks to a store she didn’t often use, because she was so embarrassed. From then on there was a pantry. She learned to can food and bake bread. Now my pantry and freezer are always pretty full because I’m always stocking up. I really enjoy your videos. They give me such great ideas
I loved EVERYTHING in this video!!!
Oh girl don't know why it's a funny bone ouch. Great meal idea. Also those boy's are so precious.😊
I use to use those baskets as well when my kids where still home. They loved them .
I got the same baskets, yes, they are fun grand cubs love when I use them.
I buy sweet potatoes and cut them a little squares and putting some avocado oil on them with sea salt, a little cinnamon and bake them in the oven
I love your show and love that your family takes part in it
Brooke, I look forward to your videos…I may have already told you that..?
Anyway, you always make me laugh and I love your kids!
I know this video is little old but I'm telling you. Tsauce ever. My 3 sons love it so much they ask for it every week since I first made it. Thank you for making your channel. It has help me be able to feed my family with out being so stressed.
That looks delicious....I couldn't tell it was a broke until payday meal....love watching Kylen faint lol!!! If he faints it's gotta be good
I love you red baskets! Your dinner looks really good!
❤ I am going to go get some of that lemon pepper seasoning. Your whole family loved it. It’s so much fun watching you and your kids especially the little one that faints 😂 Makes me giggle.
