  • For this meal plan, I picked up about $20 in groceries and made several breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. I designed this specific plan for myself to eat for at least 7 days. These recipes also work for families and are kid-approved!
    This is a meal plan that I would personally do for myself. Feel free to make your own adjustments and substitutions! These recipes are mainly to give you some ideas.

    Not sure if you have ever did this with lentils BUT this is a FAV at my house for a hearty breakfast or delish dinner. Cook lentils in whatever stock you choose until the desired tenderness is achieved. Meanwhile sauté diced carrots, diced onion and minced garlic carrots should caramelize. once lentils are done combine carrot mix with lentils top with fried eggs and YUM.

    This is the first video of yours that I've seen. The fact that this video is a meal plan for one person is what caught my eye. My son's girlfriend is away at college and is struggling stay within a food budget. She is used to fast food and door dash. What a bad plan for someone with very little money. I'm introducing her to cooking, budget planning and not making all decisions on a whim. Most of the other extreme food budgeting videos I watch are for families. This one is right up her alley (or it will be after I show it to her!). Thanks, Laura! Side note: I love your sparkly top!

    Another super simple black bean soup is to just sauté half a diced onion, add a bit of cumin, then 4 cans of beans (or an equivalent quantity of homemade), an entire container of chunky salsa and water or broth. Simple, tasty, very filling. Top with a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese, if you have it. I always serve it with cornbread. This is a family favorite.

    This is excellent! Great job! I do a similar budget/meal plan from Aldi often but add a can of diced tomatoes (for soups or loaves), peanut butter (for sandwiches, oatmeal, or mixed with a few pantry staples for a peanut sauce), and whatever the cheapest lettuce/cabbage (for sandwiches, soups, and salads) I can find. Also, I grab another banana or two to make 2 ingredient oatmeal/banana cookies. Can also add peanut butter to them for a healthy treat. Adds some more options, veggies, and protein to the meals for under $25 a week.

    • @LauraLegge
      @LauraLegge  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      I started off by reducing the meat to about ½ lb per dinner. I used it as a garnish and paired it with beans and other protein packed foods. After about 6 months of doing that, I started incorporating 1 meatless meal into every week. Now I’m trying to increase my meatless meals to a few a week and eventually I’d like to use meat very sparingly, if at all. I think it’s the slow introduction to meatless that really did the trick for my family ☺️

      Could you get away with making a chili or a Spaghetti Sauce with less hamburger but adding Mushrooms or Lentils ?
      When using sirloin tips or stew beef you can stretch it by adding mushrooms for that meat flavor and cutting the pieces smaller.

      Does he meal prep with you ?

    Adding rice to a meal with beans will give you a complete protein. Adding a teaspoon of baking soda helps to soften beans, even if they are past their "best buy" date. Frozen corn is healthier than canned, no added sodium, plus it tastes better, not overcooked. Something to keep in mind is potassium and magnesium content in foods. These are vital minerals needed by our bodies for sooo many functions, heart health, blood pressure are 2 really important ones. Glad to see you using butter, not veg oil, which causes inflammation in the body, or margarine. Butter is a healthy fat. Our brains need healthy fats to function best, some vitamins are fat soluble, A, D.

    When ever I cook I save any ends or peels or vegetables that are looking a little old till full in a zip lock bag in the freezer till full.. I also save any bones from roasted or from COSTCO or a local grocery stores have Roasted chicken for $5.00 I buy 2 take them home and take all the meat off the chicken and either freeze the bones or make broth/stock as soon as possible in my crock pot. I love to combine all my frozen vegetable scraps with the chicken bones and make a really great broth!
    Root to Stalk Vegetable Broth Homemade broth is one of those things that is SO worth it, but can feel like such an effort. We love this root to stalk broth because you can save up all your vegetable scraps in a non-reactive freezer container and make it when you have an extra hour in the kitchen. Our favorite part about this broth is that you get to use the parts of the vegetable you might normally compost, so it's like making delicious broth for free!
    Root to Stalk Vegetable Broth Homemade broth
    Serves: makes approximately 1 gallon broth Ingredients
    ⦁ 3-4 leeks, green parts and ends
    ⦁ 1 bunch of carrots, tops and bottoms plus 3 whole carrots (remove large parts of green)
    ⦁ 1 zucchini, roughly chopped
    ⦁ 1 bunch of celery, tops and bottoms
    ⦁ 1 large onion, quartered or 3 onions tops and bottoms
    ⦁ 1 handful parsley
    ⦁ 1 handful thyme
    ⦁ 2 cloves garlic, peeled Instructions
    Directions:
    ⦁ Dump your vegetable roots and stalks in a large pot. Fill the pot until the water just about covers the vegetables. (The ratio here is about 4 cups water to 3 cups vegetable scraps). Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 40 minutes to an hour. ⦁ After the cooking time is up, place a colander over another large pot and strain the broth into the new pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The broth will keep in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for several months. ⦁ You can also make this broth with whole celery, carrots, onions and whatever else you have, so if you don't have a stockpile of frozen vegetable scraps, don't feel left out. ⦁ Here are some other ideas for vegetable scraps you could use depending on the season: asparagus ends, green bean ends, carrot peels, fennel stalks and bottoms, pea pods, chard and kale stalks, cucumber peels, zucchini peels and ends, dried mushrooms, herb stems such as parsley, oregano, thyme and cilantro

    you can make an oat bun really fast with just a little over a 1/3 cup of oats, an egg and some baking powder. spray a ramekin with cooking spray and set oven at 400F. grind 40 grams of oats into a flour, add 1/2 tsp of baking powder and a pinch of salt, mix in egg till well blended. pour into ramekin and bake for 15 minutes. allow to cool and use butter knife to loosen. this is a great GF option, super filling! you can toast this, add a nut butter and banana or fruit of your choice! i love the banana bread roll up - a super fun treat for everyone!
