- Hey guys! Once a month(usually when we're close to pay day) I like to use shelfcooking for my mealplanning for the week! It helps me to stay under budget when shopping for groceries and helps prevent any waste in my kitchen. It's a great challenge to try and cook with what you already have too! Hope you enjoy and try it out yourself!

ABOUT ME: Hi everyone! My name is Abby and I am a working mom living in Texas with my husband, Trey. We have three kids named Truett, Vera and Sybil. We live a very hectic and busy life trying to balance kids, family time, housework, and working full-time. I thrive on DIY projects, saving money, and anything homemade. My hope is to share with you an honest glimpse of our life. Thank you for taking the time to watch. :) Leave me a comment and share! xoxo - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I’ve been following you for over a year. I don’t comment much but I’ve made so many of your crockpot meals and desserts. Have a great Sunday!
I just started watching and I’m glad I did! It’s tough being a working mom and making dinner and doing all the mom things! 🙌🏽 love watching mom channels.
Same 😊
Thank you for being so honest about your feelings. Sometimes I just don’t want to cook and want to order out. But I have a goal that I have to complete. Thanks for the encouragement.
Love simplicity of your cooking and being so considerate of mindful budget!! Life can be rough for many families. Thk you. Health and blessings for all u do.💝
Thanks for always keeping it real! I'm going to be a first time mama in 10 weeks and find your channel to be so helpful!
Congrats! Prep ahead if you can. I have found freezer meals to be a huge money & time saver. Abby has so many great meal ideas & shares realistically, how to prepare for little one❤🤗
Make a list of meals as your cooking dinner double the recipe and eat one and put the other in aluminum pans in the freezer helped a ton when I had my son wish I had did with my first! And buy snacks like granola bars and frozen pizzas and easy cook things!
You're such a hard worker, making a video for us when you're so tired! The app looks great. I'd have made eggs and hashbrowns, then collapsed for a nap! Love your channel. Excited for the crockpot meals!
:) I'm always trying to "lighten up" recipes, so I think I'd use light sour cream, the fat-free version of cream of chicken soup & lowfat cheese. Just my personal preferences. I think back to how the loaves & fishes ended up feeding so many-I think our pantries sometimes do that too!
That casserole is similar to a family favorite of ours. We call it Mexican chicken casserole.
2 chicken breast (I boil mine) shredded
Half a pound of velveeta
Can of rotel
Can of cream of chicken
Can of cream of mushroom
Half a bag of crushed doritos.
Spray 9x13 dish, place in shredded chicken and top with crushed doritos. Either in microwave or stove top melt velveeta, rotel and soup mixes. Pour that over the chicken and doritos and cook in 350 f oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. So delicious!
What a great recipe for using pantry food! I will try this using canned chicken!
I just started watching your channel although I have been subscribed for a while. Being a retired professional woman, now loving being home, I sort of forgot how to put together major
meals for my wonderful family. Like other empty nester, I get by eating on the run.
You have great, quick, and healthy recipes that I can prepare for my 3 beautiful grandgirls who love to come to Nana's house.
I appreciate the verify of your recipes and videos to select from.
Please, keep in mind that you are also serving the older generation. We may have dietary restrictions. Your recipes can be easily modified. I have found many of the
recipes practical for myself, since I am a vegetarian.
Thanks so much!!!
Girl...you are keeping me on the go...lol😂 AWESOME
Great motivation. Thank you for sharing on this Sunday. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t feel like cooking last night so I did and it was $40 bucks and I’m not paying that so I made air fryer chicken and omg it was so good
"I've been eating unhealthy food and I need to get back on track." *slowly lowers the box of cheezits in hand* 😳
Omg that’s so funny! 😆 I always say I’m gonna eat better and start working out and back to the snack drawer I go 🤦🏽♀️😂
Cheezits are my weakness! 😂 hard to get back on track when the kids snack cabinet is haunting me. Lol
@@maddygleason5450 at least we have the kids to blame now 🤣
@@margal3120 i was eating the white cheddar ones 🤣 pretty sure they are laced with something lol
I’m making the dorito casserole right now and I cannot wait to try it. I LOVE DORITOS!!!! Thanks!
Another way to shred your chicken into pieces is using your kitchen scissors. I find that easier so thought I'd share that with you.🙂
Yes we need to know how the casserole was! Also I would totally suggest crunching the chips while still in the bag. 😊
I can't let my pantry and fridge get that low. I'm afraid another "everyone run to the grocery store and get all you can" will happen! I like to stay stocked up on things. The Doritos casserole looks good though.
That’s smart to stay stocked up because you never know what will happen. I only keep the basics I’m going to do better stacking up.
Food storage is great! It’s always a good idea to keep a couple weeks or so of items that can feed your family just Incase. You can even eat the items as you want as long as you remember to replace it with something when you shop again. I like this to rotate the food to keep fresher options for the storage as well.
My husband and I are fortunate to have two converted clothes closets that we keep stocked up, a pantry in the kitchen, two upright freezers and a small apartment size freezer. I am retired and my ''check'' makes it so that I wouldn't be able to live alone if that situation came up. My husband gets a bonus from his company every 90 days. When it comes in we go buy in bulk from Sam's Club and break it all down and store wherever it is suppose to go. Thankfully when this pandemic hit and people began hoarding, we didn't have to. We ate out of what we had stored away from the first of the year until around August. We replaced what we used when his bonus came. It is just him and I and I know everyone's situation is different. You just never know what lies ahead and when you have children to provide for, for me, I couldn't let my stock get too low.
You're so good at staying on budget and being disciplined. I wish I was good at it too.
This looks so good. Thanks Abby. Your daughter is precious. So miss when my kids were that age...best years of my life. God bless.
Anxious to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I could spend $50 a week on grocery. I need to meal plan better. I fix a lot of your recipes but I end up spending more. Thanks for the app, that will come in handy.
I love your channel ❤️ you’re so inspiring to stick to budget and use what’s on hand. I’ve been using your meal planning/grocery list journal method and it’s working for me!! Saving $$ and I didn’t realize how many unnecessary purchases I’ve been making on grocery shopping
I love the idea of finding a recipe to go with the food on hand. Thanks for sharing that. The casserole looks very good!
I love these videos so much Abby! Thank you so much for always sharing ways to help us make our lives a little easier. Sending Anguiano love ♥️ always!!!
I enjoy your meal videos! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Totally put it on my list to clean out my pa try today!!! Thanks for the motivation!
Abby, there is an app called supercook. It's very similar to favoreats but it's FREE.
That looks so good! Thanks for sharing!
Love the planned out meals 💕
Love minimal cooking with lot of nutrients. Love your content
So happy to be subscribed to your channel. It motivates me. Thank you.
I intend to put some chicken and salsa in the crock pot one day this week to make chicken tacos with. I wanted to cook more than I needed so I could use the chicken for another meal, too. Cheesy chicken Doritos casserole it is! I just placed my Walmart pickup order for the week. Less than $40! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!
Can't wait for next weeks video. Thank you sweetie 😘
I always love you videos. 🤗 The dorito casserole looked yummy.
This casserole looks absolutely delicious Sweet Abby & I can't wait to try it 😊💝! Thank you so much for sharing because our family's seem to love all of the same foods & casseroles are our very favorite 😊💝! God Bless 🙏✝💝 & sending much love from my family to your's 😊😊😊😊😊💝💙💙💝💝!!!

Between the Texas state shirt and H-E-B brands I just realized you're in Texas *Subscribes* 😂 second video and I'm loving it!
Great pantry meal I'll bet the children loved it. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Hope you get to rest early 😉
I've never seen Dorito casserole made that way b4 I've always had the hamburger one. Gonna have 2 try it with Chicken. I like seeing your pantry clean out meals. I need to do that as well. we have a bunch of can foods that need to be used up. TFS.
Love watching u
I love your channel!!!
I' ll ve waitying for next video, thanks
Just downloaded app. Look forward to trying it out.
I here because i need the motivation to cook more. I spend so much $$$ on groceries AND ordering food!!! I feel like a failure as a mom and wife because I’m not a good cook and not good with ideas. I cook the same things😟😩
Hang in there! Check out how to do freezer meals like Six Sisters Stuff too. I bought less than $100 in groceries, 1 hour prep time & had 12 meals put together & in the freezer for a young family who had just had their 2nd baby. I do it for my family too & it saves us so much $$ & prep time. We have more time for each other. That's why I love Abby so much. She shares great crockpot meals, recipes & tips for around the home too. Such a sweet family!❤🤗
As long as your family is fed, happy and healthy you are not failing.
Hi, sweet little lady~ she is adorable with those tomato seeds on her chin. Love the videos. Keep them coming. We are moving and I throw together a meal with what I didn't pack. It came out great! Use what you have. :)
Now I’m going to go clean my pantry out haha
I feel you on the mama on the tired but push threw it ... Great video .. Good ideas!!
Cheap crock pot meals yes please 👍👍 btw roasting chicken in crock pot has been my game changer 🌷🌷
Yes girl! Pan that pa try
Hey girl, it's just my 12 yr old and myself... Due to covid I lost my job got another and getting back on track slowly, then we had a small fire. That now has us living in a motel. I have my instant pot a toaster oven as well as microwave and small fridge. Any ideas on meals that are affordable that I can do with what cooking devices I have. My struggles are small in comparison to so many others. I am still so so blessed. , but I'm truly feeling the stress and pressure and I need some ideas ... Thank you so much for all you put on your channel I truly love watching you and seeing your BEAUTIFUL family.
Your Daughter is So Precious!
Looks delicious 😋
I have the free Supercook app. You put in what ingredients you have and they come up with all recipes
Those meals look so great! I always say you don't need to spend a lot of money to make a good meal!
Hey Abby, how do you do your beans and rice? Is there a video for it?! Thank you for putting this out even tho you are exhausted! I look forward to your videos 🙂
I was literally just thinking that someone needs to make an app like that!! 😂
So...did you all like the Dorito casserole?? It looked so delish!
I always buy my favourite traveling snacks from grocery stores and keep them in my house, its cheaper than buying from gas stations.
I look Forward to you every Sunday.. I work in the school system also..
awww thank you!
😬
Hello enjoyed the vlog ❣
I don't know where the rice came in. Did you just eat it on the side? I'm confused but it looks delicious.
You should do Prepping before it's too late.
I made a dorito casserole once but I only put the doritos on top
How was the casserole? It looked delicious!
Did you guys like the Doritos casserole? It looks easy enough to make and I probably have all the things on hand but I have never made it. I do shelf and freezer cooking every month. I take an inventory at the end of the month and plan out all the meals for the month. It makes things a lot cheaper because you can stock up on the things that you need when they are cheaper because you buy whatever is on sale. I am actually doing it early this month because I just bought chicken and ground beef with the remaining budget for the month so I was trying to see what I needed to do with the chicken based on what I already had in the freezer. Ready to make November meal plan by next week!!
Question: How do you make that small amount of food feed your entire family? I'm amazed!!!
When will you announce winner of contest? That recipe is awesome.
❤️❤️❤️
Don't you just love the notepads! I got mine from Dollar General
Looks good. Reminds me of the recipe I submitted for your giveaway. Did you and kids like it?
I saw a Pampered Chef box! I just become a consultant!!
they are the stainless steel mixing pots! my mom got them for me for my birthday!
@@thesimplifiedsaver7052 well if you need anything else let me know ;)
@@thesimplifiedsaver7052 Happy Belated Birthday Abby! Thanks for sharing real life with all of us❤🤗I adore you & your sweet family💞
i have been using the app for about a month now, thank to you! :) But, are you able to help me find out how i can plan meals according to what in my pantry? i cant seem to find out how to do what you did
... do i need to make a subsription?
How do I find you on the Favoreats app?
Also did your family enjoy it?
I have never seen generic brand Doritos. I’m tripping out lol my kids would def love
ALDI!
I’ve seen that recipe but never tried it, did the kids like it ?
Sooooi how was the dorito dish? Was it good l? Kids enjoy it!!!! Looked good on taste of ingredients 😅
On your morning routine video, why do you use a different pump for work & home? Im pregnant and have always used the one you took to work but have been considering the one from home. Sorry I’m coming from another video! Just SUPER curious!
❤
In the beginning when you’re sitting down talking there is something behind you. What is it, and where did you get it?
its a three level basket froms sams that i put produce in!
@@thesimplifiedsaver7052 it’s nice. Did you get it recently?
Did your kids like the Doritos 🥘 casserole? I was so excited to know so I can make it for my kids:)
K did you serve this over rice? Or where does the rice come in to play?
Did your kids like this? If they love Doritos as much as I do - I'll bet they devoured it! Happy Sunday!
How did the dish turn out? Did you announce the winner yet?
I'm from the UK and love your videos but so many of the foods sound different to here. What is rotel? I don't know how to spell it!
That app is probably the best thing that’s happened to us in 2020 🤷🏽♀️
Was that recipe good! Did your kids like it?
Hey girl just wanted to let u know that I was making the Doritos casserole and noticed that you forgot to put the can of cream of chicken in the recipe description. But hey it was still good without it lol
How did it turn out? It looks delicious.
SO GOOD!
Glad you asked, I wanted to know too😊
I make this in a 9×13 dish. I double the recipe because anytime I make it they devour it!!
Well how was the casserole?? Did the kids like it?
do you use H-E-B curbside?
How was the Dorito casserole?

Have a great day!
I have a lot of those recipes that I used to make when the kids were small and we were on a TIGHT budget. One that I really came up with was :
This meal was created when my husband was stationed overseas in the US Army. It was at the end of the month (we didn't have access to a large PX/commissary) I had 2 potatoes one can of Spam and one can sauerkraut.
We liked this so much we had it at least once a month throughout our marriage and the kids living at home
**********************************************************************************************
1 Can of Spam cut into cubed pcs (this would feed a family of 4)
1 can of Sauerkraut
3-4 small potatoes (you can use 2 cans of canned Sliced Potatoes) sliced/diced, etc and cooked
1 stick of margarine
Salt/Pepper/seasonings of your choice
************************************************************************************************
Large Skillet:
Fry the Spam (you can use leftover ham for this two 2 cups)
Then add the potatoes (if they are canned if not, cook them prior) Cook through Stir well mixing Spam/Ham & Potatoes.
Add a margarine cubbed ....
Then cover ingredients with can of Saurkraut (not the Bavarian-style) .
Cover, let simmer for 10-15 minutes
Serve with Salad or Vegetable
Looking forward to the easy crockpot meals next week!
I picked up burgers baskets and a salad last night for the 4 of us and it was $47. I so could of bought all that groceries 😳
I hate deboning a rotisserie chicken so so much.
lol me too its not fun
I've tried finding the Aldi rotel thr past 3 times ive shopped. I've come to the conclusion that mine just doesnt carry it
The label is so plain it’s yellow and green o would ask a clerk to help you find it it’s not with the tomato I don’t think I thinks it’s where like the pizza and spaghetti sauce is
@@kristylocklear3294 thank you!!
Did you like it???
Shelf cooking sounds like a good idea for myself🤔
Did your kids like it???
