I hate food waste, I have a serious melt down if I have to throw any food away, nice to see someone with the same ethics
Me too! I am exactly the same. I feel so bad if I have to throw something out. 😢
Love it! Love it!!! Your an amazing mama!!! People who don't have kids don't realize how hard it is to take care of kids lol but you're an amazing Mama keep it up!
You’re too kind! I try my best ❤️ family is everything!
Fav quote..."If they don't have mold on them, we're good!" Haha
🤷♀️ truth!
So whomever got that bar code sticker in their egg bowl (35:36) won a prize, right? Like a King Cake? *Real life.* LOL! I have actually done this, and now keep an eye out for them. You have such fresh ideas; thanks for the videos! I will be trying some of your meals this week. For your Dutch oven, maybe try some dishwasher detergent/pod in about an inch of water, bring to a simmer for 10 minutes and let cool in the pot. Then scrub with the roughest scrubber your pot will take. Has worked for me in the past. Thanks again; glad I found your channel. Keep it real.
I Like that cleaning idea, simple! I do think I took the bar code out…I think 🤔😂
I love how down to earth and honest you are. This is reality for most of us and I hope people are not judgmental. I love your channel.
I am obsessed with zero waste too lol wrinkly vegetables taste exactly the same once they are cooked and spoiled milk is awesome for baking.
She is nice, intelligent and sincere. Would make a good friend! Thanks!
🥰
There's comfort food and now there's comfort videos. Good work!
🥰 I love that!!
Girl you accidentally cooked up a sticker in your egg omelette scramble! Go to the time stamp 35:24 and there was a sticker in your pepper mix in the skillet! Lol Then, at 35:34 the sticker was still there and you poured the egg mixture in! Hope someone thought it was tasty! Haha
Love your recipes! 🥰
😅🤣 extra protein??? I can’t believe I didn’t catch that then OR in the video!
@@MealsWithMaria I didn’t mean to repeat what others had said, I’m sorry! I even tried checking through comments first and didn’t see anyone else mention the sticker before I commented. Then after seeing your reply to me, for some reason I see other comments about the sticker now! Lol
Love to see young mothers cooking real food! Great job with leftovers and stocking up.
I'm thinking your house smells awesome every Sunday! That Dutch oven is just well loved!
😂 I’d like to think so!
I love how creative you are with your meals, Maria! You really make the Budget seem like more of an adventure than a restriction and inspire me. Thank you! ❤
100% true! It’s a great adventure for me!
Love the food you make Maria. Did you notice that you cooked a label in with the eggs to go on the potatoes for the breakfast boxes. I'm sure it wouldn't have hurt anyone if they ate it. just added to the roughage ha ha!
Maria I like you! You seem so real and genuine!
There's just something nostalgic about dino nuggets 😆. With the frozen berries if you add them to a pot with a bit of sugar (honey, agave, etc) let them simmer until they're thawed and soft it makes a delicious addition to yogurts, oatmeal, porridge, smoothies, pancakes, biscuits....a ton of stuff lol. It's my favorite way to use up my frozen or fresh fruit! 🫐🍓🍒
Love the idea of cooking down the frozen fruit!
Just found you! 5 mins in and I already love you!! subscribed :D
All looks healthy and delicious - And you were able to satisfy such a wide range of taste buds in your household, too!
Ok, this new viewer is inspired to experiment .. Thanks for sharing =)
😀😀😀 so glad you’re inspired! You can make amazing things with what you have!!
Your family is so lucky you put so much effort into the meals you make!
❤️🙏
I love this! I do something similar to your home fries with sweet potatoes. I take sweet potatoes, dice them up, toss them with oil salt pepper and cinnamon, and then I bake them for 25 minutes at 400 F. It's my favorite way to eat sweet potatoes, and everyone who tries them loves them. Adding salt and cinnamon gives it a sweet and savory taste that's a crowd pleaser!
Love the idea of cinnamon sweet potatoes!!
I love your creativity with your challenges. Thanks for the video Maria!
I do not know why, but I laughed so hard, "Do you need to make muffins during a pantry challenge?" long pause..... hahaha. What is it about pantry challenges that gives me the urge to make muffins! I always do it! Pumpkin muffins year round over here.
It’s necessary!!!
@@MealsWithMaria i was like NOOOOO when u poured the eggs over the peppers and I saw that label in the pan. Ive done that too. Its a surprise when discovered. Its better than forgetting about the neck and giblets in a whole turkey, or not realizing that turkey breasts can be stuffed w a gravy pouch. Im guilty of those culinary offenses.
I enjoy your pantry challenges. Especially now with the grandchildren out of school and I have them at least half the week so it gives me ideas for them.
We had the black bean soup, it was so good! My daughter who is a very picky vegetarian said it was a keeper.
I came across you by accident and I am glad that I did. Keep up the great work lady! Love it!
All I can say is wow !! Such a Basic recipe With Culinary Arts results !!!
😀
Awesome job Maria. This is a great opportunity to teach others to improvise with what you have and “not to be afraid of leftovers”. Well done. Keep up the great work.
Trying that chicken taco recipe!!! Well done 👍🏻
Enjoy!
What you do with the ladies we do every Sunday and call it Family Happy Hour. Using leftovers and creativity - always a hit 🥸
Love family happy hour!!
Ben is growing too fast! The pan just shows how much you use it. A loved pan. 😍
Definitely a loved pan! And I agree about Ben!
I love love love your BUDGET CHALLENGES. Keep them coming Maria
I saved this under "recipes to try" and "pantry challenge"; I have many playlists but these are the ones I reference the most. Thank you!
So glad it’s helpful!!
Love pantry cooking! Thanks for all the effort you put into this!
You’re welcome! Glad you like it!
This girl deserves more subscribers!
I’d have to agree 😉
I love your content Maria! Long time follower first time commenter.. I'm watching alot of your older videos that I've never seen before and getting plenty of ideas!! Just thought I'd day hi 👋. From Noleen here in Ireland 🇮🇪
In addition.... Oh my after watching it all l I love you sharing with mom, family, etc.. I'm so envious of this tradition. I could never have that but I love watching! ❤❤
Aw! Friends can be like family, it’s possible for anyone ❤️
I make an exception with your vlog.
I WATCH YOUR MEAL VLOG TO THE END. CAPTIVATING and tells me how I can safe my lower Canadian Dollar.
Your just CAPTIVATING.
You have a good format.
THX.
KLAUS. a. Canuck
I think your brain works like my brain when it comes to using what I have on hand. I like to make it work for the recipe or come up with my own recipe. And yes, use those leftovers to make a new dish. I loved this video and, most of all I love the real life approach with the precious children. I hope you are healed from your super cold.
Make a 3 berry cobbler. 1 cup of each flour sugar milk 1 egg a 1 tsp. Each baking powder vanilla with 1 stick of melted butter in the bottom of a 9x11 cake pan mix well all ingredients but the butter pour into pan top with the berries bake at 350 til knife comes out clean. And enjoy. I do canned peaches.
Yummmm!!!
i loved the "pep talk" before-hand. I have many items in my 2 large freezers, pantries, cabinets and just re-inventoried all of my food items.
I'm enjoying this video to see your 10 day challenge. We all know too well how we had to get creative during the past 2 1/2 years due to being home so much. I'm always impressed at your ability to make such great looking food and wonder "why didn't I already think of that"? You do an exceptional job feeding your family. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Willette ❤🙂
Another great video Maria! You gave me a few ideas I’m going to try next week to avoid going to the store! You and your boys are adorable!!! Look forward to your next video! 🥰
😀 always so glad to share new ideas
DID YOU NOTICE THE (produce sticker ) you cooked with the eggs 🤦🏻♀️? YOU DID GREAT -THANKS FOR SHARING
Lol I think I did pull it out but totally didn’t notice it on camera.
@@MealsWithMaria LOL 😂 I WAS LIKE MRS .Maria the sticker when you pouring the eggs in 😂love your channel just subscribe 👍
Freeze block cheese, easier to shred as well. Thank you, for sharing your family and the great meals too.
Oh I love that idea!!!
I recently subbed and am glad I did! You're a natural in front of the camera! Love how you multitasking mom duties with cooking!
Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you are here!!
Great meal ideas Maria. I'm planning to use up what I have for a couple weeks. This video will help a lot, thank you
It's so awesome that using up everything is "normal" for your kids. My kids now have kids so I am sure it will normal for the grandchildren too! If you can find cheap stew meat, wait for a deal on the chuck roasts & cut the cubes yourself.
😀 I try to make it normal for them! I love the Chuck roast idea! I need to try that!
Love this! So proud of you, this is such an accomplishment. Well done, and thank you for sharing!
I appreciate your practical take on these challenges. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. 💪
I love a good pantry challenge video!!! And how fun y'all do that wine lunch on the regular, love love love that!!! Thanks for your hard work putting this together for us! 🍷👍💕
I feel very blessed!
I love all of your specialty plates. The Taco ones either on this video or another was the best.
😍 thank you!
Great ideas Maria! I’m going to have to do this with my pantry. Thank you I love your videos.
😃 so glad I can help!
Wow! You are amazing and so fun! Great usage of everything 👏
Good memories with the kids. Your little oatmeal guy reminds me of my oldest grandson. Every time you asked him what he wanted to eat, the answer was oatmeal. I finally introduced him to French toast and then he learned there were other options.
I think you did very well shopping your pantry. It looked like you were well stocked even for entertaining. 🎉👍🎂
This was a great video! Going to check out some of your others now! :)
Thanks Bonnie! Enjoy!
Just found you and LOVING your energy and videos. Thanks!!
😀😀😀 I’m so glad you’re here!!
There is a video on how to clean that dutch oven by boiling baking soda then scraping with a wooden spoon or wood only utensil. i love hearing your children. It's just the natural sound of humans. Great eats! Thank you
Thank you! I’ll need to check that out before I spend money on a new one!
I love these kinds of videos so much! And doing it myself too. I love cooking from the fridge, freezer and pantry.
Wow! I'm trying not to clog up the comment section, but I just had to say, I just finished the video and I loved it. I'm going to keep in mind the bun/bread tip, and the mashed potatoes tip too, I keep my bread in the freezer so it doesn't go stale but am always at a loss what to do when it is already stale, I tend to end up making stuffing)dressing with it. We have many bags or boxes of mashed potato flakes still and I was trying to think of used for some spreadable cheese I have in the fridge. Thank you!!
Yay! I’m so glad I could be of help!!
I'm catching this late, but what a great video! Please keep doing these❤
Wow!!
I love your creativity. Cleaning out your pantry must be hard when you have kids. I cant imagine the cost to restock. lol
I try to buy things on sale!
I always like your videos before I even watch them. I know it's gonna be great. Its obvious you're an amazing mom, I hope no one suggested otherwise. Thanks for bringing us great videos even though you're not feeling your best!!!!
Thank you so much Cindy! It’s so nice to have such a wonderful group of people supporting me🥰 you are so kind and I feel like we are all friends 🙏
A tip: Put the raw egg into the rice at the end and let it cook in there quickly. It's easier.
You’re right! That is faster! Definitely a better idea 😀
Oh Maria, I just love your videos! Esp your holiday videos! Just a feel good vibe! God bless sweetie!!!
Yay yay yay!! $20 Easter coming shortly!!!
Thank you so much for this video. lots of great ideas that I will be using.
You’re welcome!
Lol, I watched this on a Sunday while rolling my leftovers into burritos. I love how you kept it real. And thank you for giving me ideas. I have some mushrooms to use up so I will make the chicken marsala but with Sherry because that is what I have. ❤
Way to go!!!
great ideas!! everything looks delicious.
Thank you!
❤️kid noise in back ground, hello real life, my 3 are grown ,so I miss that. Enjoy it while you can.
Aw I’m soaking it in!
I have found that toasting bread going stale works for us. Also use it for French toast, croutons or if too stale but not moldy, breadcrumbs. Great job again.
All great ideas!!!
You are doing a great job as a wife,mother,friend you tuber,I really enjoy watching your channel,your not only helping alit of people,but your also alit of fun as well.keep up the great work,u are awesome!!your doing the best you can.
Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
When you do your tacos like that put cheese down first and then your chicken and yes make the chicken a little less wet and it will stay crunchy I'm not sure about the cooking of the taco shells first but that might work 😀💕💕💕 whenever I make just normal tacos I always put cheese at the bottom and it keeps my tacos nice and crunchy. So I'm sure baking it would make it even more amazing
🤦♀️ next time for sure!!!
@@MealsWithMaria 💕💕😀
I could do a 6 month or longer challenge I've been preparing because my pup had been wining for a few days now and I've been feeling small trimmers for awhile. And I have the dollar store Sterno and stove in place. And small pans for quick heating. Even a small stainless wok. Perfect 1-2 servings.
Great video Maria. You can always buy the Holland House Cooking Wines for the Marsala . I use them all the time in cooking and it’s just fine and budget friendly. You might want to think about investing in a food saver. They are really great for long term storage. I love eggs too and always buy 24 at a time.
Those are the wines I use for cooking 😀
Great ideas
You go girl ☺️🙄👌💪💪💗this was awesome and you are so uplifting and full of inspiration. 🙏 Thx
Aw I try!
When you use your chopping board put a folded tea towel under it to stop it slipping around, it’s a bug bear of mine
Loved this and love watching your show. Put strong bleach water in your dutch oven and leave with lid on overnight or longer until it is clean again. Be patient. Might take awhile. What I do to mine. I am a big dutch oven fan.
I am usually really careful with expiration dates. ..but I recently read you can safely use cream of something soups for 2+ years after the expiration.
I'm doing this right now 😆 Perfect timing Maria!
Yay! Good luck!! Have fun with it!
This looked awesome! You always come up with so many great budget meals. And my nephews are obsessed with chicken nuggets 😂 so don't feel bad, maybe when their older they'll eat something else for lunch. Love the vids and I'm looking forward to that chicken thigh video, it's my favorite part of the chicken 👍🏾
😀 thank you! Chick thighs are the tastiest part of the chicken!!!!
@strawberry crazycake, you absolutely right
Gosh you certainly had a wonderful variety of meals (dinners anyhow) & entertained twice as well! I’m impressed 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😃
Thank you!
Just found ur channel. Love this video and ur personality!!
Yay! I’m so glad you are here!
Wow what a great video!!!!
Aw thank you!
Saw the produce sticker in the saute pan😃
🤣 I do believe I pulled it out but totally didn’t mention it in the video 🤦♀️
I always watch for London broil to go on sale and cut that up to use in my beef stew and I love it it comes out so tender when I put it in the crockpot
Great job!!
Thank you Tammy!
G'day from Australia! I'm also doing a Pantry Challenge (which is probably why You Tube recommended your video). You sound like me trying to to record every mortal thing and the microwave is beeping, or the fridge door LOL
It’s life! Have fun!
Thanks Maria for another great video to get more ideas of delicious meals to make for my family!
Kellie, that’s funny! 😂 Love your channel also! xx
@@belindafirley your so gorgeous thank you c
@@FrugalFunMum Thanks Kel xx
A proud mom, you are simply amazing. I love your energy. Great challenge.
😀
When our adult children were younger, we always took advantage of the free lunch when we could. Our daughter (she's a senior, this year!) has some food sensitivities bcz of our last bout with Covid, so she will eat what she can from it and I pack some snacks if she gets hungry. She hasn't been feeling well so it's hard to eat sometimes!
Aw I hope she feels better!
Try placing either dish washing detergent or clothes detergent in bottom of pot. Add water and bring to a hard simmer. Then turn off and let sit over night. You might have to do this about twice and scrub with a steel wool ( sos) pad. Should come clean.
I’m willing to try anything!
I love left overs. I would love to have a small stand up freezer so I could utilize the store sales. I love Spend with Pennies, they have great recipes. With the food saver, Aldi has them for a very reasonable amount. I love mine especially in the Summer when all the vegetables are at their freshest. I always have potatoes and onions on hand and they last a long time. When my opinions look like they are getting too soft, I put them in a pot and make onion soup. Thanks again Maria.
Onion soup is a great budget meal! And I really should get a food saver! I’ll look at Aldi!
I am ashamed to say I have four freezers all stocked with discounted or free allotment food all vacuum packed. Also a bit of a food stockpile, I think I have a problem 🤔
I love Yogurt, Fruit, and Granola as a dessert. I also make a Fruit Spread - I cut fruit that is bruised or soft into small pieces. I add a smidgen of water and microwave it for 30- 50 seconds, stir and use it on Peanut Butter Toast, Oatmeal, with Yogurt and Granola or even on Cold Cereal. I also take Bananas that are extremely ripe and mash them with a fork, I add a splash or 2 of Vanilla, TBSP of Cocoa, 2 TBSP of Peanut Butter, some Almond slivers or Walnuts pieces and stir. It can be placed in the freezer and is a healthy option to ice cream. I have even used Strawberries 🍓instead of the cocoa and peanut butter. Anyway you make it it is healthy and delicious 😋
Your get together sounds like so much fun ! Great video and creative ideas
That ice cream alternative sounds just like the morning protein shake I just drank! Lol
:) That's the way to start the morning !
Love these ideas! I’ll definitely try them
Glad to share. I host a Frugal Facebook group and am always pleased to learn new tips, recipes, and ways to save money.
as always, great vid!
😀 thank you!
I truly enjoyed everything about this video, i love love love that you get together with the women in your family that looked so fun and such a good idea! I cackled so loud when you talked about your son eating the oatmeal and how he likes flaxseed 😂😂😂 so different for a kid! And quick cooking tip i learned from my parents if u wet a paper towel rinse it fold it and lay it flat under ur cutting board it will keep it from sliding. Thanks for this video and recipes!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🤗 thank you for the tip! I need to remember to do that!!!
Just found you and I love your ideas. Thank You for sharing.
Aw yay! I’m so glad you’re here!
Aw yay! I’m so glad you’re here!
Who was the lucky person that got the produce sticker in their egg/potato bowl? 😅
I love your creativity! So many great dishes
Haha! They get a prize! I do think I picked that out before serving but forgot to mention in the video 🤦♀️🤣
@@MealsWithMaria lol I figured as much. I can’t count how many times I’ve forgotten to take off one of those little stickers
When I'm not a big fan of a plant-based milk I have, I use that in my smoothies instead of water or milk.
That’s a good idea!
I love your videos. You are an amazing woman mom wife and human. Thank you.
Aw thank you!
Girl, you just made my Friday night! 😂😊💕
😁
I dont worry about expiration dates unless it is really old. Im more concerned about that something hiding in the back of the fridge that I can't remember when I put it there.
Love you girl!
❤️❤️
