I watch Brooke, Southern Frugal Momma, and she introduced us to you. Just wanted to check you out and see how you are doing your meals. Yall are both doing great!!!!👍👍👍
@mamabairds so are you! It's just my husband and myself here, and our 4-legged babies... who think they need everything we eat! My husband is the cook bc I'm bedridden due to MS. I try to get stuff for crockpot meals, but bc I can't get in to the kitchen, I don't know what all is left to make stuff. Tomorrow we are having cube steak w/mushroom soup and maybe green beans if we have any left 😆
Love the prep work. I’m retiring next week and my hubby and I are used to working and eating out. We’ve been spoiled and it’s time to make some changes. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️
I feed two people. I love leftovers (something in the freezer is nice,),but enjoy the meals for one too. I’m already a subscriber to both channels. You two ladies are amazing! Loved this collab. Thanks!
@@mamabairds I take so much away from watching her....and if she recommends to watch you....I will 😋 this video is so different to hers but in no way any lesser.... completely different takes but equally educational 😁 I'm a single mum of 2 who is constantly trying to find ways to make my budget stretch and the food budget is the easiest to manipulate to fit what we can afford.... Nutrition is key for me.... especially with 2 teenage girls... You ladies show us all that feeding our bellies with nutritional food is possible with just that little bit extra work/planning/flexibility 😁 Kudos to U both ❤️ Keep doing what you are doing...I can't be the only one who search out to learn from ladies like you both 😉 God bless ❤️
Great collaboration! Healthy menu plan. Notes about bell peppers: color = ripeness (green is unripe color peppers). Also # of lobes means nothing about gender nor sweetness, it's just based on pepper variety.
Dupes; instead of ricotta, which is expensive, get cottage cheese (you can even blend it in a food processor). Instead of half and half, get evaporated milk. If you’re counting pennies these are some ideas that will still allow you to have that flavor.
Loved this challenge and was surprised how different the ideas were. You both came up with great meals and I loved how you used more fresh ingredients, but I think I'd be a little tired of pork by the end of the week. I think I would absolutely love those lemon and blackberry pancakes. Yummy!
I really think it is harder to cook for one than to cook for a whole family. I am always struggling not to have tons of leftovers. 😅I love your ideas! I came from Brook's channel and I am so happy I found yours too! ❤By the way the view behind you in the intro is just mesmerizing and very wonderful like it was a painting.
Came from brooks channel. I miss winco so much, my fav grocery store of all time! Ive lived all over the usa and winco os the besttt loved the bulk food too
I just found you in my suggested feed. You did a phenomenal job with the 7 meals. I’ve subscribed. I think you are a realistic channel for me. My hubby and I are seniors on very low income. You had some great ideas for the meals. See you on the next one. Susan from PA
Brooke is my go to girl and now since I found you you are both my go to girls I cook for me and the sick wife and need all the help I can get. I am a great cook but still love great ideas to boost My abilities
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Hey Mama, you got me with the video from the Chinese Buffet, I honestly will give this a try I don’t think I will stay on budget only because I don’t have a car so I go to my closet store (Food Lion) but the prices aren’t to bad. Also I love. How you use a calculator although I have fat fingers and I always mess up the count, but I will try to do better just for this video. Really, I am shocked and I happy I stopped by so I’m now a subscriber. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Keep up the good work, now on to your next video!!!!!
Love this video!!! Such a great way to show how much can be done and healthy with little money!!!! I absolutely LOVE throw together skillets yum!!! Also, a HUGE THANK YOU for the male female tip on the peppers. Had no clue!!!!
I love chopping up meat to make more meals! I'd probably have a meal of leftover pasta, with butter, parm, and garlic, yum. Mac and cheese is so delicious too. The hash looks great! I'm gonna make that! Wow! Lots of leftover at the end! You and Brooke did amazing!!!!!!
Great week worth of meals. It’s hard to cook for one. I’d like to see more recipes on a budget with you and Brooke, as well as Mamma to All. Great video. Love 💕 and Love. 💙💙💙
I'm a new subscriber from Brooke's channel & I just wanted to say hi! I loved this collaboration!! Great to see a video for single or for two!! Looking forward to seeing many more! 🩵
Great collaboration between you and Brooke! Thank you for the info in the difference between peppers, I never knew that! Everything looked so delicious. You gals are so talented! ❤
I loved this collaboration. You and Brooke are my favorite youtube, budget cooking channels. Your meals looked fabulous! That last dinner was impressive. I am going to make it. It looked like an expensive pasta dish.😊
I wanted to say I absolutely love watching your videos. I'm always lifted up after watching your videos. You're such a sweet wonderful young lady. Thank you for all your hard work you do on your channel..
Hi. I just subscribed. I was just wanting to find single meals. I especially liked your prep. I sometimes prep in stages, like pre cooking my starch. Thanks for sharing.
This has been a challenge for me at different times of my life. Cooking for yourself or just a few is tough when you learned by cooking for a lot of folks.
If you’re like me and have a hard time finishing a whole bag of spinach you can put some in a ziplock bag and put it in the freezer then take out handfuls to throw into fruit smoothies. Oh and for Mac and cheese I always add a dash of turmeric for a bright yellow color.
My husband and I don't eat very much. One serving is enough for the two of us. Very hard not to make too much. He is not 100 per cent for left overs so I always add something fresh, like salad, pickle or bread.
@@mamabairds your very welcome! It' just the hubby and I now. I've not manageed to cook for an army when I make meals and have been trying to NOT throw food away. I have invested into a food vacuum t6hinggie in hopes to start freezing meals.
Hi Carolina you cook so good I loved all the food you cooked I'm only one person to do I got a good idea for some dinners Thank you God bless you and your family much love from Michigan ❤️

@mamabairds so are you! It's just my husband and myself here, and our 4-legged babies... who think they need everything we eat! My husband is the cook bc I'm bedridden due to MS.

Welcome!! How large of a family are we talking here? Haha. This was a nice challenge for sure!

I came over from Brooke’s channel and I am so glad I did! Your meals looked fantastic. I loved that last pasta dish.
Welcome!! Thanks for being here! That pasta dish was so good! Some of the best dishes come from left overs!
Love the challenge, I watch both of your channels. Thank you for the great video and ideas.
Awesome! Thank you!
This was very fun to watch. 😊
I love your cutting board. Great ideas also
Thank you!
Link for cutting board please?! Thanks
That Last meal with the pasta and cheeses looked Soooo good!
@@cambriaperez2865 That was my favorite too!
I lived in billings for a few yrs, your background reminds me of reno nevada when i lived there too
Enjoy watching both of you ladies 🤩
Thank you!

Thanks for being here and welcome! I get memorized by the view as well! I'm so grateful to be living here! It's a dream come true!
Don’t forget the bulk foods. WINCO has great bulk foods. Far cheaper than prepackaged.
You are so right!

Winco is my go too!! Welcome to my channel!

I'd probably have a meal of leftover pasta, with butter, parm, and garlic, yum. Mac and cheese is so delicious too.
