To each and every person who has subscribed and given me words of kindness and encouragement. I must say a heartfelt thank you. For someone who struggles with a lack of self confidence, you have no idea what a profound and positive influence this has caused. Thank you so very much.
That's amazing. I can be quite shy, too. I wanted to work on it, so I started giving random complements as a way to start conversations. I always think someone has nice hair, or a pretty blouse, or is wearing cute earrings... but was always nervous to strike up a conversation. But It worked. Challenging ourselves to tackle something we struggle with, but in a way that makes us still feel like ourselves (like you sharing your crafting) is a great way to break out of our shells. You're doing a great job, Aunt Vickie.
Hi Vickie, Brooke sent me! For someone who "doesn't cook", I think you did an awesome job with the bowtie alfredo, you were within budget, and your husband liked it. I would have loved to see the hot dogs and sauerkraut with potato cakes, too.
If you are not a professional chef who went to Culinary and Gastronomical School (which is not a simple cook's school at least here in the E.U) it is all right to be messy. I am messy too. I always spill or drop something 😆Sometimes even worse accidents happens...like plate a whole bowl of steamed broccoli right on the table...no plates...nothing... I accidentally turned it upside down as it slipped away from my hands 🤣🤣 I came from Brooke's channel, and I think you definitely did a good job! ❤ Thank you for sharing :)
Hey Aunt Vickie! One of Brooke’s besties here. You did a fantastic job! Great tip for people out there that you showed… save your condiments from places. Use them when you’re out of something, to add flavor to dishes, or stick in to go lunches. And ummm…yes, we want to see the weenies and kraut with potato cakes!
Pasta is always a great budget friendly meal you did a wonderful job i think you can do more of these than you think. Everything doesn't need to be a fancy thing it just hasto taste good and your family likes and appreciates it. That is a winner 🏆
the goal of the challenge isn't necessarily to make something everyone will love, but to spark a thought process in your viewers. if your family enjoyed it then it was a win. love you Vickie! and i don't measure either. in fact i don't even own measuring spoons. i might break down and buy some if i start baking more. cooking is art. baking is science.
Hi Brooke sent me. You did a great job. A messy cook is a great cook, so they always say. Look awesome to me. You inspired me to try to make alfredo sauce from scratch. I'm not a cook either. I use a lot of cook books. Can't wait to see Brooke do crafts. She is such a hoot, love watching her family.
Watched the videos back to back. Seriously, considering you haven't done this before, I think you did a good job. You could have grabbed a bottle of sauce and the pasta and called it a video. You make something from scratch. Just remember.....Brooke has to do a craft video. :)
aunt Vickie I think you did an awesome job. You have no idea what an impact you are doing teaching us skills and sharing your ideas with us. Don’t ever stop doing what you do
Hi aunt Vickie, your meal was a success!You came in on budget,your husband liked it,what more could you want,you're a star.I cant wait to see what Brooke makes when she's crafting.Thank you for sharing this with us.
Lady you can cook great you knew to bloom the seasons in the butter and pasta water. I love brook but I’m excited to follow you both for real meals and you crafting!
❤ I think you did great! I think I might add a small zucchini just for a pop of color and added texture but definitely not needed. Love that you made it from scratch and staying in budget Win-Win!! I would love to see your kraut dogs and potato cakes PLEASE 👍 Looking forward to the crafting challenge ❤
You did so good! Sometimes I stress myself crazy trying to come up with a meal plan while being frugal. Brooke has definitely taught me to go into the store, find what I can find on sale, and work my meals around what I find. Doing that has really helped me!
You did great. I’m like you I only cook because I have to and I normally buy what I want, but I try and incorporate a few of Brooke’s meals here and there. She blows me away with her talent! It appears you have talents of your own too! ❤ I see the Brooke resembles you. Loved the video and pat yourself on the back! ❤❤❤❤❤
Don't be so hard on yourself! Did you spend less than $5ish? Were your bellies full? Was it tasty? Then you rocked it!! I think you should do this more often to challenge yourself. Brooke didn't become an expert at this without a lot of trial and error!
@@AuntVickiesCraftCorner: OK they said everything I was going to say, but they're right. Practice makes perfect as the old saying goes & Brooke's had alot of practice. You'll get better the more often you do it. Great Job!! Now its Brooke's turn in your crafty corner.
You did great! The challenges are always interesting & fun.. getting creative & staying on a budget & seeing the final product. Thank you for doing this. Brooke sent me! ❤
You underestimate yourself! You accepted a challenge, worked through the guidelines, and put a delicious meal on table! Bravo! I always admire people who travel out of their comfort zone with success! Many blessings! Stay safe! ❤ 😊
You did a heck of a job. My alfredo comes form a jar and I am proud that I could open the jar. Great job watched both videos back to back and saved yours to teach me how to make alfredo sauce NOT from a jar.
There is nothing boring about alfredo, it's one of my favorite dishes. A creamy lemon (alfredo) is actually one of my staple go to options at one of my local restaurants.
Next time you do a challenge, please go with your first choice. I think in this video the menu you mentioned as your first pick would have been great!!
Great job! I like to microwave my pasta it's just me, I put it in a microwave safe bowl and cover it well with water, cook for 8 minutes and let it sit in the water until it gets the consistency I want it, I'm not crazy about al dente, then I can drain it and add what ever sauce I'm using.
First of all you did a great job with the $5 dinner challenge. 2nd. Thank you for the Alfredo sauce recipe. I will use it and save money. 3rd. Everything looked wonderful. Thank you.
I watch Brooke alot I have faith in you!! She has inspired me. I used to be tight as a military wife with 3 kids taught them how to plan a menu but Walmart sure doesn't compare to commissary and closest on of those is 2 hrs😢
Homemade Alfredo sauce for the win! Also I love smoked sausage or Kielbasa and sauerkraut! Also cut up smoked sausage, a couple cans of drained potatoes and 2-3 cans drained cut green beans in the slow cooker with about 1/2 c water. 4 hrs on low.
Hey, Vickie! This looks delicious! I also cook for just my husband and myself. I’ll definitely be making this! Thanks for the great meal idea. You go, girl! ♥️
To each and every person who has subscribed and given me words of kindness and encouragement. I must say a heartfelt thank you. For someone who struggles with a lack of self confidence, you have no idea what a profound and positive influence this has caused. Thank you so very much.

“doing what i need to do so every one can eat” sounds like my definition of a good cook!
Thank you
Good job! The kraut, weenies and potato cakes sound great, too!
Oh yes!
I would love to see you cook the weenies and potato cakes
Kraut, weenies and potato cakes is what i grew up on. I would love to see you make it. Your doing a great job!

Thank you
I loved seeing how giddy excited you were to challenge Brooke back. I can't wait to see it!!
Thank you
👍
Looks yummy I wouldn’t add the red peppers I don’t like the heat, but everything else looks good.
It actually wasn’t much spicy at all but I get what you’re saying. I don’t like intense heat.
Looks good
Thank you
Sent by Brooke! Great job!!!
Thank you, I can say she is the best at what she does and this gave me a new appreciation for the job she does.

Thank you

CAME TO SEE YOU FROM SOUTHERN FRUGAL MAMAS CHANNEL GREAT JOB!
Thank you
That looked delicious. Im gonna try that sometime. You did really well.
Thank you
❤ Love your video. Have a beautiful blessed weekend 🌹
Thank you! You too!

It appears you have talents of your own too! ❤ I see the Brooke resembles you. Loved the video and pat yourself on the back! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much
Most people in East Tennessee don’t measure. We measure to our own personal taste. I’ve been cooking since I was 7 so over 55 years.😊
Just a pinch and a smidgen lol
Don't be so hard on yourself! Did you spend less than $5ish? Were your bellies full? Was it tasty? Then you rocked it!! I think you should do this more often to challenge yourself. Brooke didn't become an expert at this without a lot of trial and error!

You underestimate yourself! You accepted a challenge, worked through the guidelines, and put a delicious meal on table! Bravo! I always admire people who travel out of their comfort zone with success! Many blessings! Stay safe! ❤ 😊
Thank you. I have to admit it was a challenge
Great job and homemade alfredo sauce too.
Thank you 😋

Vickie!! That is not an epic fail! That’s busting 😂
Aww shucks thanks ma’am lol
You tried, bless your heart
There is nothing boring about alfredo, it's one of my favorite dishes. A creamy lemon (alfredo) is actually one of my staple go to options at one of my local restaurants.
Meaning, not only is it not boring, but I’m willing to pay good money for it too, lol!
I love lemony Alfredo sauce
Would love to see the potato cakes and krout and weenies in another video❤
Sent by Brooke! That look’s delicious you did a great job on this challenge. ❤❤❤

Making fresh Alfredo was a good option. I am sure much tastier than buying a jar. I liked the sound of your other idea too. Maybe an episode 2
Thank uou
You can do it !

Thank you so much
I'm here from Brooke's channel too. You did great!
@@ambrosined1981 thank you
When in doubt, always go with pasta, dried beans or rice.
Absolutely

Thank you
Brooke sent me! Good job!
Great job! You can also use parmesan rather than mozzarella in alfredo. It is good, too. 😊 -Kryste
I actually prefer Parmesan in mine but my husband isn’t the biggest fan lol
@@AuntVickiesCraftCorner It is very sweet of you to care for your husband like that.

Awesome 🙌🙌 now do more of these..and let this channel grow ✨️
STEP OUTSIDE THE BOX
And yeah your niece southern frugal momma brought me here 🫶

Great job. My Alfredo sauce is from a jar so at least it was homemade!! Looks really delicious too!
Thank you
