I really am SO thankful for each and every single one of you! ❤ I posted a bonus video on Friday, here it is: th-cam.com/video/hUFIcHX3rec/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xOmoqBijezFd62IP
BTW.. I was taught to not put salt or spices in the dry beans too early. Just beans and water for an hour or 3.. (Even pork ) It makes the hulls of the beans tough. 😏
Can we just recognize Julia for being so respectful when filming inside stores? Instead of standing in the middle of a busy aisle, talking to a camera, she does a voiceover and only films the products inside the store. It's nice to see a vlogger being considerate of other people's privacy. Great job Julia! Also, the meatless beans and vegetable dish looks super yummy! Will definitely have to try that. 🙂
Whenever I film things to send videos to send to my fiance, I do the same thing. I do it mainly because I don't like the attention. Maybe she feels the same way on top of the respect she's trying to give others 🙃
You have no idea how needed this was for me and my family this week! I literally have $100 to get us through the week. I work midnights and I was reviewing your old $5 dinners last night. So thank you. I will definitely be making some of these this week.
I’m happy to hear that these meals will help. This can definitely be an extra tough time of year. I hope you all enjoy these recipes and I hope things get better for you soon! Thank you so very much for your wonderful support💜💜
Well Julie you did it agen girl, thank you for that it all looks sooo good my Husband loves ham& beans so that will be dinner tonight , thank you so much Julie , wish you and your Beautiful family merry Christmas🎅☃️🎄🤶😇💗❤️💙💚🧡💜♥️🖤💛 and Happy New year !! 11:14
Good morning Julia. Went to the grocery store yesterday and I have almost everything off your list to make the majority of your recipes. All your recipes are so easy to make. thanks
That’s wonderful! Thank you so very much for letting me know and I hope that you enjoy these recipes this week and they help you save some money at the same time🙌🏼🙌🏼
Your channel is going above and beyond my expectations! Your recipes are so simple, easy to follow, inexpensive and delicious. They are helping me so much!! I'm a retired single senior on a fixed budget. I never did much cooking because most recipes are too overwhelming and have so many ingredients that I don’t use up. It can get expensive fast!! I bought your cookbook yesterday…I can’t wait to get it 😊 I’m glad they are selling so fast 👍🏻 I’m not surprised❣️
Oh my goodness. Thank you so very much, Betsy. I sure do appreciate all of your positive feedback and I am so very happy to have you here as one of my supporters. Most of all, I’m happy that my recipes help you so much. I can’t imagine it would be very difficult as a senior on a fixed income. Thank you so much for your friendship here and I hope you enjoy some of these meals💜💜
I have been sharing $5 meals on Facebook with friends. I am steering them your way for more ideas that are amazing. So many families are struggling right now with making ends meet. I love that you take all of this into consideration. I try so hard to make menus for 4-6 people. Thanks for all your hard work.
Well thank you so very much, Nancy. That means the world to me! Thank you so much for steering them my way. And yes, we definitely can all use these kinds of ideas and recipes. Thank you so very much again💜🙌🏼
I love it! You always do so good! But I have been saving sooo much money and paying the 4 more dollars for the great big Mexican bullion. It lasts at least 3 wks usually longer, just depends on dinners. I get the beef, chicken and tomato with chicken. I use them all the time, I always use them when cooking the meat. Best find ever!!! Y'all have a great blessed and beautiful day 🙏🙌☺️💖🥰💕
I got your cookbook last week and it's really a quality book. The photography is amazing. I've already cooked a couple of the dishes. I love your videos, Julia!
I’ve actually been halving and sometimes quartering these recipes and we are so appreciative! Money savings is so important and so far these recipes are so good and versatile! I’m actually going to make this ham and bean soup now and have the new potatoes in this one!
I am so very happy to hear that! That’s what my mom does too for her and my dad. I appreciate you sharing that and you have a great rest of your week🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you!! I got the ham seasoned dry beans so I added some smoked paprika some slap ya mama and brown sugar and it was a big hit with me and my husband. So delicious!!
I usually never cook my pasta with the sauces due to overcooking them! I always cook them separately in a pot of water and then add to sauce. Of course this is personal preference, but a tip for those who run into the same issue
Julia, by the way, I have finally found time to look through your cookbook. It's amazing. My daughter is a chef, and she has been in several magazines, so we both know the hard work, planning, and organization that went into making your cookbook. Not only do I like the instructions, well-written, but the photographs are excellent. Photographs do help many, many people with a recipe. Congratulations! Job well done❤
Wow! Thank you so very much for your wonderful feedback. And especially your daughter! That means a lot to me to hear that chef has approved my cookbook. Ha ha! I’m so happy to hear that and thank you so very much for ordering my cookbook💜💜
I always appreciate your consideration for budget, flavor, and nutrition! This should empower people to know that they don't have to eat low nutrient foods on a low budget. Bellies can be filled, but also have some added nutrition.
Thank you so very much, Stacey. Your positive feedback and support means so much to me. Thank you so much for sharing that great insight and I appreciate you here. I hope you enjoy some of these recipes!💜
I've used that canned Hunt's pasta sauce for years. It's the same size as the jarred ones for about 40% less. Touch up the seasonings a bit, if you wish, and it tastes just as good.
Thank you so very much for sharing your positive feedback about that pasta sauce. And yes! It is very tasty and economical too. Thank you so much and I hope you have a great rest of your day💜💜💜
Julia, thank you for creating a cookbook with nutritious meals. I work so many hours from home and rarely have time to cook. My precious husband does NOT cook and happened to tune into your channel. He really enjoyed watching you shop on a tight budget that he ordered your cookbook!!! He told me he is inspired to learn to cook by following your recipes. So... I am totally stoked! Also, you are such a beautiful light. Keep shining and congratulations on your book. God bless you.
Oh my goodness, Sara! That is just the best thing ever!! I am so happy to hear that he ordered my cookbook and is inspired to cook now. I sure hope that you enjoy my meals together and thank you so very much for your positive feedback💜💜💜
Years ago when we were moving, I cooked a crockpot of the soup bean mix with some precooked polish sausage. That evening, we had an awesome dinner for everyone who helped us. It's refreshing to see a younger person cooking dishes like these. Thanks for sharing these with us 😊❤
That’s awesome! I sure do appreciate your positive feedback about this bean mix. That is a great memory! Thank you so much for your positive comment and I appreciate you here🙌🏼🙌🏼
I like using Hambeens when I need beans for a recipe or soup. Definitely budget friendly! And tasty!!! Thank you again for sharing your ideas, Julia! Winners, as always!!! Wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead!!! 😊❤
That’s a wonderful tip! I really do appreciate you sharing it, Laura. I am sure other people benefit from it too. Thank you so very much for your positive feedback and I’m so happy to have you here. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend🌲🤍⛄️
That ham and bean soup looks luscious and perfect for this time of year! Before I retired I stocked my pantry with staple items, and lots of different kinds of beans and legumes. I think I'm going to combine a bunch of them into bean mixes for soups. I love to can beans for quick meals, so I may can some as well. I also buy potatoes in bulk, cube them, and can them. So easy to throw together a soup. Your videos always get me motivated when I find myself in a "what's for dinner" rut.
That was a wonderful idea, Shelley! Good for you! I’m so happy to hear that you have a good stockpile of essentials. I sure hope you enjoy some of these recipes🙌🏼🙌🏼
I am really so sorry to hear that, Trisha. I do hope that he’s doing better and I am sincerely so grateful to hear that my meals have helped you in someway. Thank you so much for sharing your positive comment and I hope you and your husband are doing OK🙏
I hope you and your family have a wonderful December as well, Elizabeth! Thank you so much for your positive comment here and I sure do appreciate your kind words⛄️🌲🤍
Hi Julia! Just when I really need them, you have given me inexpensive meal ideas. I know they are delicious because your recipes have never disappointed me. You are such a joy to watch!!! I hope you and your family have a great holiday season.
You are so awesome! Thank you so very much for all of your positive support and feedback here. I do hope you enjoy them and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season as well! Thanks so much for your great support🌲⛄️🤍🌲⛄️🤍
You should make a video on how to strech your food with more cooking from scratch. I know it’s not as fast but it could show some how to save more money! Love your videos!❤
Julia I don't know how you manage to do this every week, coming up with new and different recipes and the budget friendly ones to appeal to a wide variety of people. Thank you for the hard work you do; and I appreciate that your videos are succinct and to the point. There have been many a video that I have not watched because they are just too long!
Thank you so very much, Vicky! I appreciate your positive feedback and I’m so happy that these recipes may help. I sure do appreciate your kind words and support. It means so much to me!💜💜
These recipes look delicious and easy!! Ty Julia. In memory of my mom, I will start with your goulash recipe. Mom made hers all the time and it was amazing. Merry Christmas!!
Oh, I’m so glad that recipe brought back memories for you, Donna! Thank you so very much for sharing that with me. I hope you enjoy some of the other recipes and thanks so much🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great ideas for simple hearty meals! I’m 60 and just started using beans. Where have they been all my life. Lol. And I thought I was the only one who knew the trick with tomato paste. 😂. I’m waiting for your cookbook. Yay 😀
That’s awesome that you are using beans now, Susan! Good for you. And yes, that is a great tomato paste trick. I’m so glad you have ordered my cookbook and I sure do hope you love it💜💜💜
Watching you make goulash brought back some wonderful childhood memories for me. My mother made a large cast iron skillet full of goulash at least twice a month. I had two brothers, so we needed meals that would fill them up! I remember watching her add the tiny, dry macaroni pasta, and being amazed at how they puffed up and became DINNER!! Now I will be making this for our family too!
Thank you so much for sharing that childhood memory. That’s awesome! I’m glad it brought back a good memory for you and yes! Pasta is kind of like magic that way. Especially to a kid! I’m glad to hear that you’ll be trying this recipe and I sure hope you enjoy it. Have a wonderful rest of your week💜💜
i cannot recommend Julia’s cookbook more! if you are an experienced cook or if you are wanting to learn how to make really good food for the first time in your life, there is something for everyone. Everything i’ve made from her book so far has been super easy and super yummy! i’m giving a copy to my mom for christmas.
Well thank you so very much for your amazing feedback! I sure do appreciate you sharing it here and extra happy that you’ve ordered one for your mom too. I hope she loves it and thank you so very much for your great support🙌🏼🙌🏼
I bought 3 cookbooks for my kids I really enjoy your videos and I know my kids will love the cookbooks. I really appreciate that each recipe has a picture as I have visual learners in my family. You eat with your eyes first! Thanks!
Oh my goodness, Sheila!! Thank you so very much for buying three cookbooks. I sure hope you and your kids enjoyed them and I sure do appreciate your positive support here! You’re awesome💜💜
Hi Julia, no surprise your book is selling fast, full of great recipes. These recipes are great as well. Love the picture with your husband and the girls, they are growing up so fast. Have a great week. Stay well and safe.
They sure are! Even since we took the pictures. That happens so fast, Erin💜💜 and thank you so much for your kind words about my cookbook. You are such a loyal supporter of mine and I always appreciate that!!
Everything looks delicious! I've been having to do really easy meals lately because I've been under the weather and not able to cook bigger meals. Your cook book and recipes have been a real blessing for me these past few weeks, I don't know what I'd have done without you. Sandwiches everyday I guess! Lol! Thank you again for being so amazing in the kitchen! I hope you and your family have a blessed week Julia! 💕
Oh my goodness! I’m so happy to hear that my recipes have helped you while you’ve been sick. I’m so sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well, but I’m happy to hear that my recipes have brought you some comfort. Thank you so very much, Jerri and I sure do hope that you feel better soon💜💜
Hi Julia! Love these! Can’t wait to try them. I make a breakfast casserole that we like. It’s so handy too. Just cut up into squares and freeze. Then on busy days you just grab a square, nuke it and you’re out the door! ❤️💜💚
Hello I do enjoy a 5 dollar challenge. my favorite meal was the breakfast casserole. Congratulations again on the cook book. Keep wild bill well fed and raise those babies up right you rock!
Thank you so very much! And yes, it’s always great to save money at the grocery store. I thank you so much again for your wonderful support here and I appreciate your kind comment about my cookbook. You have a great rest of your week🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I usually used the plainer bean soup, but tried cajun recently, and it is AMAZING! We usually cut a smoked sausage to add and bake up some Jiffy corn bread. Since theres just 2 of us, any extra gets frozen for an excellent easy meal later.
Good morning Julia, who doesn't love budget friendly meals ? These are going to be perfect for my meal plans this week. I am heading to the store. Have a wonderful Sunday, Julia and family. Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes ❤
I made the Goulash tonight and it was delish. I always tend to make a little more, feeding 5 (2 being teenagers) so I used 1lb sausage, then cooked the other half lb of pasta separate. I cooked everything else to recipe, then added extra cook pasta at the end. My family loved it and there’s leftover for husbands lunch at work tomorrow. Even with doubling the sausage and the noodles, this is still a very affordable and a yummy, filling meal. The recipe went straight to the “keep always” recipe index card box! My daughter is 18 in a few months so when she goes out on her own this will be a recipe I send with her. Thanks a bunch!
Oh my goodness! I am so very happy to hear that you enjoyed that recipe so much and hopefully your husband will enjoy it for a couple days for lunch this week, Nikki. Thank you so much again for sharing your positive feedback and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend💜💜🙌🏼🙌🏼
The kewl thing about the soupy, liquidy, saucy dishes is you can skip the bullion and freeze in containers. When ready, you can add the frozen food to a pot with broth or bullion and water to stretch it a bit further and even add on top of rice, noodles or etc like a "fancy" sauce.
Hello Julia you always rite on time gotta go to the grocery store all the meals look very delicious thank you for these budget friendly meals Have a great day!
Good morning Julia, I hope you’re doing well🙏 I love all of the recipes you shared here, beans are a great for of protein and taste great when properly seasoned and anything made with pasta I enjoy so your pasta dishes are on my list to try as well👍👍👍 TYFS, I appreciate you and all involved to share with us, you’re amazing🥰 Happy Sunday Funday, enjoy!♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
They sure are, Angela! Thank you so very much for sharing that and I sure do appreciate you so much! Your positive support means so much to me and I sure do hope you enjoy some of these meals💜💜🙌🏼
@@JuliaPacheco I will, I’m gonna make the goulash for dinner today bc I have everything needed, I’m excited😋 Thank you Julia, I appreciate your kindness and the fact you always take the time to reply to my thoughts, not everyone who owns channels do that🥰
i am very impressed with your videos. affordable yummy and easy always. great for those who are not comfortable in the kitchen cooking. i like your teaching. i have passed many to friends who do not cook.
Well thank you so much. That means a lot to me to hear that! thank you so very much for passing my videos along to your friends. That does make my day! You have a wonderful rest of your week🙌🏼🙌🏼
You’re one of my absolute favorite creators! I LOVE watching your channel to get more ideas for my own channel where I also make budget friendly meals. We have similar cooking styles so I’m always inspired every time I watch one of your videos. And you introduced me to lentils so thank you so much for that! They’re delicious!
These look and sounds like hearty weather worthy meals for this cool snowy weather we are having here in Wyoming. I am excited to try these and to compare the cost difference here as well. I am loving your new cookbook along with the addition pantry must haves and conversion chart which are both now hanging inside of my cupboard. I feel blessed to be cooking with you ❤
Oh my goodness, Heidi! You are awesome. Thank you so very much for your kind words of support and I sure do appreciate you purchasing my cookbook. I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I hope you have a wonderful week in Wyoming and thank you so very much for your TH-cam friendship💜💜💜
Julia, I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your budget friendly and delicious meals. Times are getting really hard for people to put food on the table and you knock it out of the park everytime. God Bless you and your family!!
We add canned rinsed and drained mushrooms that we chop up. We add monterey jack and extra sharp cheese. Also, add salsa. I bake the eggs by themselves first at 400 to 405 degrees up to a soft set. Perhaps 15 to 20 minutes. I remove the eggs from the oven, adding all of the remaining ingredients like you did and the additional items I mentioned above. Back into the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 to 30 minutes. Until the cheese is fully melted and has a little Browning to it.
Is a season for happy faces and happy places . Happy Holidays Julie . Thank you so much for all your delicious 😋 recipes. Hugs 🫂 from Utah . ♥️⚘️♥️⚘️♥️⚘️♥️⚘️♥️
Tasty looking recipes. You could save cooking time and energy by soaking beans over night or even a few hours reduces the cook time. So good to hear your cookbook is selling well. Girls are so darling. Have a great week.
This is a wonderful tip! Thank you so much for sharing that, Donna. And I sure do appreciate your kind words about my girls and my cookbook. You’re awesome and I appreciate your support💜💜💜
I love watching your budget cooking and shopping videos. I always feel so inspired to cook them and stick to your budget. Thank you so much for helping me and I’m sure so many others. Happy (almost) New Year!!
And thank you so very much for being such a wonderful supporter of mine! You are awesome and I sure do appreciate that💜💜Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so very much again!
More great recipes. I have used your cookbook so much and all of the recipes are amazing. The crock pot beef stew was especially good. I look forward to your videos. They make my day.
I am so very happy to hear that you have enjoyed so many of my recipes from my cookbook already. Thank you so very much for your positive feedback and I hope you enjoy some of these recipes too, Dawn💜💜
I sure hope that you enjoy them, Karen. And I also hope that they help you this month with your budgeting needs. Thank you so very much for being here 💜💜
These recipes are great! I am definitely doing that meatless meal; it looks absolutely delicious! All the recipes have such flavourful and colourful ingredients---you can almost smell them simmering through the video! Thank you so much for all of these great recipes! I am really enjoying your beautiful cookbook too! Everyone, make sure you order one before they sell out! It's excellent! Julia, bless you and your family! Have a wonderful week! 💖🥰
Thank you so very much, Michelle! You are just such a wonderful supporter! I sure do appreciate your enthusiasm about my cookbook and I really do hope you enjoy these meals. Thanks so very much again for your kind words and I hope you have a great week💜🙌🏼💜
I really am SO thankful for each and every single one of you! ❤ I posted a bonus video on Friday, here it is: th-cam.com/video/hUFIcHX3rec/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xOmoqBijezFd62IP

I just told my husband about the meals you created that were basically under $5 .He couldn’t believe it.Thank you again for inspiring us!
@terrie Thank you so very much!
@klevatino that’s awesome! I’m so happy to hear that positive feedback! I’m glad they looked tasty too🙌🏼🙌🏼

I love canned potatoes! For the holidays my mom always makes french onion potatoes with them!
I didn't know canned potatoes existed until this video! 😅
I make home fries with them.
That’s awesome! That sounds like a tasty recipe🙌🏼
I also had no idea about canned potatoes 😂
You should make a video on how to strech your food with more cooking from scratch. I know it’s not as fast but it could show some how to save more money! Love your videos!❤
Julia I don't know how you manage to do this every week, coming up with new and different recipes and the budget friendly ones to appeal to a wide variety of people. Thank you for the hard work you do; and I appreciate that your videos are succinct and to the point. There have been many a video that I have not watched because they are just too long!
Thank you so very much, Vicky! I appreciate your positive feedback and I’m so happy that these recipes may help. I sure do appreciate your kind words and support. It means so much to me!💜💜
These recipes look delicious and easy!! Ty Julia. In memory of my mom, I will start with your goulash recipe. Mom made hers all the time and it was amazing. Merry Christmas!!
Oh, I’m so glad that recipe brought back memories for you, Donna! Thank you so very much for sharing that with me. I hope you enjoy some of the other recipes and thanks so much🙌🏼🙌🏼
Good Sunday morning Julia thanks for tge delicious meals❤❤❤
I sure hope you had a wonderful Sunday, Iona! Thank you so much and hope you enjoy💜💜
Great ideas for simple hearty meals! I’m 60 and just started using beans. Where have they been all my life. Lol. And I thought I was the only one who knew the trick with tomato paste. 😂. I’m waiting for your cookbook. Yay 😀
That’s awesome that you are using beans now, Susan! Good for you. And yes, that is a great tomato paste trick. I’m so glad you have ordered my cookbook and I sure do hope you love it💜💜💜
Watching you make goulash brought back some wonderful childhood memories for me. My mother made a large cast iron skillet full of goulash at least twice a month. I had two brothers, so we needed meals that would fill them up! I remember watching her add the tiny, dry macaroni pasta, and being amazed at how they puffed up and became DINNER!! Now I will be making this for our family too!
I felt the same ghoulash was a family staple growing up and I still love it😊❤
Thank you so much for sharing that childhood memory. That’s awesome! I’m glad it brought back a good memory for you and yes! Pasta is kind of like magic that way. Especially to a kid! I’m glad to hear that you’ll be trying this recipe and I sure hope you enjoy it. Have a wonderful rest of your week💜💜
i cannot recommend Julia’s cookbook more! if you are an experienced cook or if you are wanting to learn how to make really good food for the first time in your life, there is something for everyone. Everything i’ve made from her book so far has been super easy and super yummy! i’m giving a copy to my mom for christmas.
Well thank you so very much for your amazing feedback! I sure do appreciate you sharing it here and extra happy that you’ve ordered one for your mom too. I hope she loves it and thank you so very much for your great support🙌🏼🙌🏼
I bought 3 cookbooks for my kids I really enjoy your videos and I know my kids will love the cookbooks. I really appreciate that each recipe has a picture as I have visual learners in my family. You eat with your eyes first! Thanks!
Oh my goodness, Sheila!! Thank you so very much for buying three cookbooks. I sure hope you and your kids enjoyed them and I sure do appreciate your positive support here! You’re awesome💜💜
Hi Julia, no surprise your book is selling fast, full of great recipes. These recipes are great as well. Love the picture with your husband and the girls, they are growing up so fast. Have a great week. Stay well and safe.
They sure are! Even since we took the pictures. That happens so fast, Erin💜💜 and thank you so much for your kind words about my cookbook. You are such a loyal supporter of mine and I always appreciate that!!
Everything looks delicious! I've been having to do really easy meals lately because I've been under the weather and not able to cook bigger meals. Your cook book and recipes have been a real blessing for me these past few weeks, I don't know what I'd have done without you. Sandwiches everyday I guess! Lol! Thank you again for being so amazing in the kitchen! I hope you and your family have a blessed week Julia! 💕
Oh my goodness! I’m so happy to hear that my recipes have helped you while you’ve been sick. I’m so sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well, but I’m happy to hear that my recipes have brought you some comfort. Thank you so very much, Jerri and I sure do hope that you feel better soon💜💜
Yay!! Another budget video! I love these. Thank you Julia!! ❤
Thank you so very much! I sure do appreciate that, Dena💜💜
Hi Julia! Love these! Can’t wait to try them. I make a breakfast casserole that we like. It’s so handy too. Just cut up into squares and freeze. Then on busy days you just grab a square, nuke it and you’re out the door!
❤️💜💚
That is a great way to do it! Thanks so much for sharing that and I hope you enjoy some of these recipes🙌🏼🙌🏼
I especially like both recipes made from the beans package.
Thank you so much🤗
Hello I do enjoy a 5 dollar challenge. my favorite meal was the breakfast casserole. Congratulations again on the cook book. Keep wild bill well fed and raise those babies up right you rock!
I know you don't mean it but calling it a challenge is a bit insensitive to people who *have* to live this low budget just to survive
Thank you so very much! And yes, it’s always great to save money at the grocery store. I thank you so much again for your wonderful support here and I appreciate your kind comment about my cookbook. You have a great rest of your week🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I have the cookbook and am loving it! Definitely doing this weeks meals from this video! Yum!
I am so very happy to hear that you love my cookbook! Thank you so much for your positive feedback about it and I hope you enjoy these meals🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great ideas! Thanks Julia Jennifer 😊
Thanks so much, Jennifer! I sure do appreciate that💜💜
Those bean soups look delicious! I’ve been looking for different ways to make beans. Definitely going to try these this winter.
That’s wonderful to hear! I hope you enjoy them and thank you so much for watching, Lalora💜💜
I usually used the plainer bean soup, but tried cajun recently, and it is AMAZING! We usually cut a smoked sausage to add and bake up some Jiffy corn bread. Since theres just 2 of us, any extra gets frozen for an excellent easy meal later.
Sounds amazing! Thank you so much for sharing that and I appreciate you watching🙌🏼🙌🏼
I never thought I could make such delicious yet inexpensive recipes. Thank you, Julia!
Well thank you so very much! I sure hope this helps🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love the budget ideas ☺️ I certainly need them
Thank you so very much! I sure do hope that you enjoy these meals. I’m glad that they will help!🙌🏼
Love 15 bean soup. A go to in my house. Good with chicken or sausage too. Good way to use leftover over meats as you could combine a few.
Thank you so very much for sharing that! And adding me to it I’m sure makes it even tastier. Thank you so much🙌🏼🙌🏼
We try to make sure to make enough to freeze some for times you want something quick.
Good morning Julia, who doesn't love budget friendly meals ? These are going to be perfect for my meal plans this week. I am heading to the store. Have a wonderful Sunday, Julia and family. Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes ❤
That’s wonderful! I sure hope you enjoy them, Natalija. And always appreciate your wonderful support here💜🙌🏼💜
No one would walk away hungry from those meals. Best of all they are so easy to make and so budget friendly.
Thank you so much. I appreciate the positive feedback about these meals and I sure do appreciate you watching💜
Delicious meals.☃️🎄
Thank you so very much, Diane 🌲⛄️🤍
These are look very yummy. I love chilis and soups in the winter. Thanks for sharing.
Me too! I totally agree. And thank you so very much!🙌🏼🙌🏼
Julia thanks for the fast and easy and no expensive meals 😊
Thank you so very much, Carol💜💜
these recipes look great. thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! And I’m so happy to hear that you like them so much, Kellie💜💜
Yummy recipes! Loved the picture of your husband and the children. So sweet.❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
YUMMY!!YUMMY Thank you for sharing!!
And thank you so very much for watching! I should appreciate that💜💜
I made the Goulash tonight and it was delish. I always tend to make a little more, feeding 5 (2 being teenagers) so I used 1lb sausage, then cooked the other half lb of pasta separate. I cooked everything else to recipe, then added extra cook pasta at the end. My family loved it and there’s leftover for husbands lunch at work tomorrow. Even with doubling the sausage and the noodles, this is still a very affordable and a yummy, filling meal. The recipe went straight to the “keep always” recipe index card box! My daughter is 18 in a few months so when she goes out on her own this will be a recipe I send with her. Thanks a bunch!
Oh my goodness! I am so very happy to hear that you enjoyed that recipe so much and hopefully your husband will enjoy it for a couple days for lunch this week, Nikki. Thank you so much again for sharing your positive feedback and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend💜💜🙌🏼🙌🏼
I´m so in Love with that Bean&Hash Soup because theres Kale in it.
Awesome! I sure hope you enjoy it and thanks so much for watching🙌🏼
The kewl thing about the soupy, liquidy, saucy dishes is you can skip the bullion and freeze in containers. When ready, you can add the frozen food to a pot with broth or bullion and water to stretch it a bit further and even add on top of rice, noodles or etc like a "fancy" sauce.
That is very true! I appreciate you sharing that great tip here and I appreciate you watching🙌🏼🙌🏼
Julia,
I grew up on meals like these, budget friendly and good. Thanks so much.

You’re one of my absolute favorite creators! I LOVE watching your channel to get more ideas for my own channel where I also make budget friendly meals. We have similar cooking styles so I’m always inspired every time I watch one of your videos. And you introduced me to lentils so thank you so much for that! They’re delicious!
These look and sounds like hearty weather worthy meals for this cool snowy weather we are having here in Wyoming. I am excited to try these and to compare the cost difference here as well. I am loving your new cookbook along with the addition pantry must haves and conversion chart which are both now hanging inside of my cupboard. I feel blessed to be cooking with you ❤
Oh my goodness, Heidi! You are awesome. Thank you so very much for your kind words of support and I sure do appreciate you purchasing my cookbook. I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I hope you have a wonderful week in Wyoming and thank you so very much for your TH-cam friendship💜💜💜

Wow! Some great ideas there and delivered without faffing about! Julia you continue to be amazing! Xx
Thank you so very much, Lucie! You’re awesome and I appreciate your positive words💜💜
We add canned rinsed and drained mushrooms that we chop up. We add monterey jack and extra sharp cheese. Also, add salsa. I bake the eggs by themselves first at 400 to 405 degrees up to a soft set. Perhaps 15 to 20 minutes. I remove the eggs from the oven, adding all of the remaining ingredients like you did and the additional items I mentioned above. Back into the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 to 30 minutes. Until the cheese is fully melted and has a little Browning to it.
That sounds so good! Thanks so much for sharing that with me, Sue. I sure do appreciate your loyal support here and I hope you have a great week🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love these budget videos so much. Thank you. God bless.
I am so very happy to hear that! Thanks so much for the positive feedback and I hope you enjoy my recipes💜💜
