You're just one of my very FAVORITE shows. Real, authentic, productive, teaching, family involved, cheap southern recipes to live by.
I love doing things like this. My longest run of zero dollars was almost 4 weeks. I think it's exciting! Thanks for all the new ideas.
Excellent! I’m going to give it a try.
My goal for January 2024 is to have enough pantry and freezer built up to do this for a couple of weeks as well!
Going to do a pantry challenge very soon myself
It's really good to fry your refried beans in bacon grease for some added free flavor. Pantry meal weeks are fun. It's like playing CHOPPED every night!
To your question about “can you ever have too much garlic?” I didn’t think so until 2 years ago on Thanksgiving my sister-in-law was making dressing for the first time. The recipe called for 5 cloves of garlic and she put in 5 whole bulbs of garlic. We tried everything to fix it but it’s a memory we will never forget!
I'm sorry - I know I shouldn't laugh but I just about fell off my chair when I read this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I'm at my new job!! Good thing I'm alone in the office. Maybe your S-I-L is a closet Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan and was just trying to protect your family from an invasion? 🧛🧛🧛🧛🧛
Oh no! My "you can never have too much garlic" has never included full bulbs. 😆
LOL!!!
I'm so sorry but that's pretty hilarious! I can't imagine! The only time I thought there was too much garlic in something was when I tried a TERRIBLE "healthy" restaurant in the early '90s. They served a cup of miso soup in one of the old time styrofoam cups which if you remember, are NOT very big. There were approximately 8 cloves of garlic in this tiny cup that had pretty much nothing else except for dashi stock. I couldn't eat garlic for the next year and a half! I think I eventually got over it but to this day, I don't like garlic as much as I used to.
@@BrowneyedGirlmjd I love your avatar! I have a Bruins hat which I wear every winter but I'll need to get something for a warmer season.
I think your take on "use what you have " cornbread salad is GENIUS !!!
The giant grin on Ryders face tasting his venison was priceless! I have learned this year about prepping in a small way and pulled together & bagged some pantry meals, it's always so nice to know that I can have a semi-homemade meal on the shelf. Great video Brooke!
This is a great video Brooke!! And thank you so much for the shout out. You DEFINITELY win MAJOR brownie points and are officially nominated for SIL of the year!! 😂
And thank you to everyone who has subscribed! I’m moved to tears over here!! I have lots more videos coming!
Can’t wait :)
I’ll be there!
I subbed; looking forward to your videos.

Seeing you cut that tomato and onions made me laugh. Whenever my friend, who is a chef, sees me cutting up my veggies like , he has a fit. Lol, I told him if he wanted chef style cooking, then he should do it himself.
Fabulous video! I loved the meal plans (and Dusty’s shirt). I am so glad you highlighted Ryder’s venison. He looked so very proud! ❤️. One item I always have in my pantry is shelf stable milk. I get mine at the Dollar Tree. I will say, I have used my pantry milk 1.5 to 2 years after the “best by” date and it has always been perfectly fine.
I also use the shelf stable milk from Dollar tree and had been wondering about using it after the date on it. Thank you for mentioning that!!
@@DaniDani-fx5qq I just used one this week from Feb 2021 and it was perfect. Smelled like milk and tasted like milk😊
I don't drink plain milk, and it would ALWAYS go bad before I used it up. Now I buy a bag of powdered milk. And make 1-2 cups at a time, and put in a tall Mason jar. Love it.
My dad is a chef and he showed me to always pour milk in your corn on the cob when cooking. He said the milk brings out the natural sweetness of the corn. Glad to see someone else knows that..:)
Corn cooked in milk is the bomb. I shave it off the cobs and cook it in milk.😋
I’ve never heard of cornbread salad. Texan all my life. I’ll have to look up a recipe for it.
Will try milk this summer
Just a little tip: I always soak my deer in salt water the day before I cook it. Ya gotta rinse it well, it helps to remove some of the “gaminess” flavor. Then cook however you choose. 😊
I kind remember this as a kid.
We've soaked it in beer, too! It was awesome
That's what my husband does when he smokes our deer meat.
We always soaked it in buttermilk when I was a kid.
I soak my deer meat in tenderizer. Basically salt. But then I add beed bullion to it. Kids don't even know it's not beef.
That was a great video!! Not only was it a no spend video but it was a great idea on how to have a no waste week.
Dry milk and evaporated milk in the pantry can extend those no spend weeks out further. Those are life savers for me on the regular.
I love these videos always get a couple ideas, but what I am most impressed about with you is you cook the right amount of food. I always cook to much and then the leftovers get stuck in the refrigerator. I am trying to do more like you and cook less and save the rest in the freezer for another meal.
Way to go Ryder on your deer!! My son got his first deer a few weeks ago and he said the same thing. It was very rewarding.
I don't hunt but I understand the feeling in a different way. When I fix a meal out of food that I have grown myself it is such a satisfying feeling so I imagine it's pretty much the same thing
Ohh, just a quick Note. I found those packets of Velveeta in a pouch for $1 at Dollar General the other day. The same ones that Dollar Tree sell for $1.25. I bought several. We like to add the pouch to salsa or tomatoes with jalapeños for a quick chip dip.
I have found full size bottles of Peroxide [ I use for laundry and cleaning ] @ Dollar General for $1. They are $1.25 @ Dollar Tree when and if they are in stock.
I am having such an awesome day..all my you tube ladies have inspired me throughout the years but you, milady-TODAY YOU have taken the cake. I just cleaned out my large stand-up freezer and found 4 LARGE bags of street tacos..Im like what they hayday am I gunna do with THESE!? They were donated to me through one of the numerous places or people I get food donated to me. I stuck them in my freezer and when I pulled them out today I was like- I gotta find a recipe for these and here you are doing a recipe for street tacos. YOU are awesome!
Congrats Ryder, its always satisfying to eat what you grew/ hunted/ collected. nice win.
Girl! Nothing better than having a cup of coffee and getting to watch you!! I just love your suggestions for meals. I have to up my game in meals from the pantry. 💕
It’s pronounced “wash-your-sister sauce” 😂
I heard that once and no longer care how to say it right
Oh my word, will never say it another way again! Lol love it!
You could make some beer bread with the rest of that beer, sister! So good. I'm still waiting on my deer this year, but you better bet I am trying your deer recipe when I get one!
OOO that sounds good! I remember when the pandemic started we were making all kinds of beer bread recipes...trying different kinds of beers...that was so fun...and so yummy!!!
Girlllllll I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your shirt! I’m literally obsessed with all things Dolly I keep saying that I wanna live in Tennessee just so I can have a Dolly Parton license plate. And have you ever seen a smoky mountain Christmas if not you need to watch it I have it on VHS but I don’t have a VHS player anymore so I’m trying to buy it on DVD but it’s such a rare film to fine but it’s a Dolly Parton film and it’s amazing if you’re a fan you will absolutely love this movie it’s the most wholesome Christmas movie sending love to you and yours this season❤
My sweet husband passed almost 2 years ago and he was a huge hunter and loved his deer meat!! I used to pressure can it with beef bullion cubes in it and use it for soups and stews!! It was so good!!!! I love that you cook things that I know and love!!! ❤
That lazy lasagna was brilliant! I am doing a no spend week as well… possibly 2 weeks. November was expensive and December isn’t much better! This is great timing. Love no spend ideas!
So you fixed "deer in my beer"......I think we have a new country song!! 🤣😂
You did a great job on those pantry meals, they all looked so good. I always keep powdered milk and can milk and the shelf stable carton from $1.25 Tree incase I run out and need for cooking and etc. Loved this video :) Thanks so much for sharing!!
I do the same as you with the milk and potatos. Makes meal prep so easy
When Ryder answered your question with “Rewarding”- man, you are raising your kids so well! We normally either fry our deer tenderloin, or pressure cook it with lots of liquid to make a broth/gravy and serve with biscuits. I’ll have to try your way!
I loved that part as well!
Have you ever tried brown gravy over fries? Sooo good! Also chili cheese fries are good too!
Or green Tabasco sauce and mayonnaise! Yum! Especially with chili cheese fries.
That cornbread salad blew my mind watching you make it, looks good 😋
I did that with some left over last week so cook. Also try Cracker salad too. mannnn both so good.
Great job, Brooke! Have an awesome week and be blessed always! xoxo
My husband hunts and shot three deer this praise Jesus.Because he recently was laid off.Thank you for the deer recipe looks delicious.
Amen! God is so good! He will provide He always does ❤
@jmac I hate to hear this and have just sent a little prayer up for you…
So sorry he was laid off. Praying that God provides him a good job quickly. Hallelujah Praise Jesus that your husband shot 3 deer!!!! God is our provider and I have faith he has the perfect job for your hubby!!! Have a Merry Christmas 🎄🦌🎁❤️⛄
May he find an even better job, in speedy time!
Could you possibly trade some of the deer meat with neighbors for vegetables if you do not have a garden ?
I've got to try the cornbread salad. It has my curiosity peaked. Reminds me of this recipe we've cooked you take mustard greens, bacon bits, radishes, green onions, and pour just a little bacon grease on top. My husbands family called it Fodder. Thanks Brooke
Kilt greens at mamas house, lol.
Tomato bouillon!!! you just opened my eyes to a whole new world 🌎
I like how creative you get with your meals.
BBQ sauce is good on ANYTHING
Have you ever fried ravioli? So good and so many ways to serve them. They make an excellent appetizer served with a cheesy pasta sauce. Just add equal parts pasta sauce and cheese. Velveta or a mixture of cream cheese and pepper jack. What ever your favorite is. My fav is pepper jack, velveta and cream cheese and pasta sauce to taste! So good!
Brooke I love all your videos but your love and enthusiasm for Mexican food is everything...thanks for that! :)
I love turning my left over hamburger buns and hot dog buns into garlic bread. They go bad so quick, I can rarely save them for another meal, so I turn them into a garlic bread side. Works well!
I like these zero shop videos. Reminds me to check in my pantry for what i already have!
You can make white chicken chili and serve your cornbread with it, or make a chicken and cornbread dressing casserole. Have you ever made a stir fry out of the venison? My roommate and I lived off of it when we were in college. Also if you mix half ground sausage and half ground venison and add a package of Lipton onion soup mix to 2lbs of the meat mix, add couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce( can add finely minced bread crumbs to stretch it if you want to) shape into patties and grill the patties while basting the patties with garlic butter( melted). Then add what you like on your burger. You can even wrap a piece of bacon around patties before placing on the grill, serve as mock fillets.
@booke Big smile coming your way when you were fixing the soup and said ‘I like to make it my own’…um yeah, you Brook-ize everything which is what makes watching you so special…
Over here lol’ing about Joey Lawrence 😆 And “It’s me, Margaret “ We could definitely hang out 😂
My kids are all grown and gone now - Grandkids (9) range from 7 to 16 years old ... I don't need a lot of fresh milk in the house anymore and found that it went bad more often than not before I could cook with even a half gallon ... I get Nido now - Powdered Whole Milk and it works GREAT ... You should add that to your Pantry Staple List ... And maybe even some dry "Cream of Anything" soup mixes. Those two things save me a ton on my grocery budget.
Merry Christmas to you and your adorable family !!
I love your videos. Not because I can eat what you prepare, but I love your enthusiasm and your heart for helping others. Also love the kids tasting everything and appreciating what you cook. Now I have a challenge, should you choose to accept it. The way I have to cook because of my husband’s special dietary needs. What can you do with a gluten free, no MSG, have to check labels because so much prepared foods have it added, no GMO and no beef. Let me tell you, IT IS HARD! With these limitations, it isn’t easy or fun anymore. BTW, we do think anything in a corn tortilla is ( to quote you,) “da bomb.”
A friend of mine brought me a wind chime made out of the tin beer cans like that. They hang from a sign that says...HILLBILLY WIND CHIME... I just love it. Hang them at different levels so they clang in the wind. As always ur friend from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
This is a little off subject but I can see how much you miss your sister when you mention her I feel the same about my brother They are Im our hearts and that makes us so lucky
Great video! Bonus Alanis Morissette in the background!
worcestershire - said like woos-teh-sheer 😚
All of these meals looked really good!
Not trying to be critical, just for future reference: it would be Pollos Banditos. Pollo is Spanish for chicken. Polio is a disease.
I love how you make hard work look easy, all your great ideas and your wonderful family.
Along with $5 weekly challenge, I do a monthly Augason Farms freeze dried food stock up. I buy one can a month.
My weekly menu contains your frugal foods!
Haha... your joy with having the refried beans was exactly what I needed today👍👍was looking in our cupboards for what to make for dinner and BAM!! Refried beans ❤️
I added half can to lb of burger cooked with onions and green peppers. Hubby said no change in taste but stretched my meat for 2 - 3 meals or more. Half with tomato sauce over noodles( 4 servings ) and other half I'll add taco seasonings and make quesadillas for supper and leftover as a lunch
When I was a child I would crumble cornbread in a bowl of my mamas home can tomatoes and cut up onions that is good!!
You always do awesome on your videos I just love them!!
The cornbread salad never heard of it but I'm definitely going to make it for my Christmas dinner for my family...Thank you so much have a wonderful day you and your family.
I PEED MY PANTS BROOKE!!!!!
It's me again Margaret....are ya nekkid. I'm comin over with a live chicken and some peach preserves.....good memories for this ole gal, God love ya, baby!!!
Rider is the star of this video ,if not for him hunting down this deer there wouldn't be any deer meat for this dinner so way to go Rider..👍
Do you ever can your deer? We can the stew meat it’s super easy to can and is delicious. It also makes for an easy meal of stew, “roast” and potatoes, or stroganoff.
I have never heard of cornbread salad before, but I am intrigued! Great week of meals!
Great Job ; love Dusty's shirt ❤️
Great ideas and inspiration!! Thank you
Luv your personality , you bring my spirits up every time I watch your videos
Thank you for what you do.
MyMom always soaked ours in milk and then put it in a fresh egg wash then flour and fried it like chicken fried steak. (Yes I’m from Texas) I love what you do. Keep it up and don’t let the naysayers get you down. They are just jealous of your abilities and personality.
I keep a stash of the Bear Creek soups in my pantry. They also work good for emergency meals & camp outs, all you need is ur special touches ..I have a t-shirt like Dusty's "we the people".
merch idea!! "A BEAN IS A BEAN"....GO!
Sometimes experimenting is better than the Original 🤷♀️.
Brooke! I love that shirt! I love Dolly & Stevie (Nick's) coolest ladies !
Girrrl, I am LIVING your channel. I'm a new subscriber soon been binge watching. I live in So. CALIFORNIA and share your video's with my son in Joplin Mo.
I have a large family and if someone ask me for food I never say no that's the way I was raised love your ideas it helps me to keep my family very well fed thank you so much I'm watching the deer video I don't drink either I sometimes put a small amount of beer in chili have you ever done that
We put butter in our refried beans when we use the canned. I also know that people will fry a corn tortilla in a little oil, and then they put their refried beans in the grease and flavor and heat them. It’s supposed to give the refried beans a more authentic flavor.
Love these pantry shopping meals. You give such easy amazing meal ideas. Thank you so much. And it's always things that you normally have on hand. You've given me a few ideas for dinners. And there good meals.
Loved Dusty's shirt
Never seen your videos before - think you're great! Will be binge watching back :)
Just found y channel today, and I love your ideas and how down to earth you are. Thank you for the inspiration. 😋
Yum!!! I was raised on venison!!! All the meals look delicious!!! PS your hair looks pretty too!!!
Hi Brooke I enjoy watching you and your boys are so sweet just like mama..have a great day today. Pamela Martinez from California
wow. i have never heard of a bread salad. you southerner's live well lol. yummy!
LOVE Dusty’s shirt. Great meal plan!
I love his shirt too!
Me too 😊
I've always made my cornbread salad that way I ain't never layered it. Yummy 😋 😊
You're the only other person I've heard use the phrase "Hello, it's me again Margaret !" I cant find anyone who knows that song, so color me pleasantly shocked to hear you say it!
some great recipes easy and affordable dinners. I just love your channel,
Have you ever made bbq Polish sausage? It’s good. Sauté sausage & onions (or whatever you want) until edges are brown. Add bbq sauce & a little water. Simmer until sauce is think. You need the water & cook time to let the flavors blend.
Love your videos and I love the little holder with the spoons for the spices....can ya share where you purchased it?
WOW! Huge way to save money. We are just gonna try to use up ALL the leftovers in my fridge over the next 3 days. I like beer for my beer can chicken (grill), dutch oven corned beef brisket and chuck roast stew. Tenderizes soooo well. I have told lots of young couples about your video.
Yes, Mam was definitely the correct answer by Rusty.
If you put the breading mix in the freezer, that should extend the shelf life
I got the tomato bullion on ur recommendation, and used it in some soup. It replaced tomato paste for me. I like the convenience better. It would be good to use on my camping trips.
Great video! I love no spend weeks! You did amazing!
When you’re making the soup, I think it was, your hair looks so pretty down and dark like that! Also, I love when Kyky does his fainting thing hehe he looks so dang adorable in this one with that cute haircut!
Ok my goodness! I have some frozen ravioli left over in the fridge from a day ago. I’m going to do this and add a few frozen meatballs (thawed out). I also have a piece of a dollar loaf of Italian bread I got half price the other day. Just enough for a few pieces of garlic toast. Yay! Supper! Thanks for jogging my memory with this lazy lasagna you made! That cornbread salad is tomorrow nights supper along with some barbecue chicken. 🎉❤😊 Thanks again so very much!
Thanks so much. So jealous on the deer meat! Congratulations 🎉 Ryder
Way to go Ryder!!❣️ Great ideas 💡 If you don't care for the wild taste in wild game, I Thaw the meat In Beer! It really works to help remove that taste 👍😊❣️
Ok now I need the OG cornbread salad recipe!
Yes ma'am, I will go to the dollar tree and gets soups and other quick lunches, I'm so low right now 😮
Oh my goodness, you live near Talbott! I taught at Jefferson County High School for a few years and loved it!
Great meals as always. I love buying those soups. Less than $4 for 6-8 servings. I add stuff to mine also. A nice roll, sandwich or crackers is a nice side. I love watching your channel.
I just love your channel!!! Thank you for being you😊
Girl. A bean is a bean to me too, yes ma'am! LOL Everything looks really good and you did a great job and it ain't easy to do this for a whole week!
I am going to try the venison recipe I have some in my freezer. My husband and father-in-law hunt and I need a new recipe!
Awesome ideas !
Love this! Great ideas to use what you already have on hand. I'm going to do the same to save some cash. Thanks for the ideas!- LOVE Dusty's T!!
My bestie bought me the same golden girls mug !!! We mug twins. Lol
