I realize from watching your videos that I spend too much and waste too much food. I love how down to earth, creative, and cute you are. Your videos are comforting because they are so genuine. Kudos to you and your family👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
tips instead of muffins just mix self raise flour and water till you get a dough fry it up and there you go you have the perfect base for mini pizza far cheaper and delicious it dont need no salt no milk just water and self rising flour and fry it on a skillet they keep great in the freezer too
Brooke ,I use crushed nacho chips , Taco meat ,Salsa and cheese Layer like Lasagna and Bake till Bubbly, I use a 9x9 baking dish.
That sounds great!
we do this as well we call it Taco cassarole. we add a can of black beans to help with protien
Yummy
I am impressed with how polite and thankful your kids are! Good job.

I vote for more $75 a week videos!! This was a life saver!!
Once recommended to me to maintain a healthy weight: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper.
One of my favorite things is baked sweet potato with chili over it. The sweet and spicy is so good and SO filling!
I live sweet potatoes.
Ok using English muffins for pizzas in genius! My family does pizza night every Friday, we are a one income family and times are definitely tough. There are 6 of us and this helps so much ! Thank you ❤
The only budget meal video I’ve seen that actually makes sense and looks like it will fill up the kids. Thanks
Your videos always make me smile and I get some great meal ideas.
Keep being silly. Keep singing. Keep telling us when you’re having a bad day. It personally makes me feel like nobody is alone in their feelings!
Have you ever tried making a big batch of scrambled eggs that you freeze? We did this once at church when we had a large donation of eggs. Thawed and mixed with some celery and mayo and made a delicious egg salad luncheon for seniors.
One way we use left over chili - put it over baked potatoes and top with cheese :) Very filling.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful art with us. I absolutely love that you don't over edit, and keep it "real". Much love, sister ❤
Your youngest son "faints" make my day. This may have been one of his best !!😂 You should do a clip of his many "faints" . Luv y'all !!!! 😊
Everything looks great. The tortilla burgers look so good. The chili so easy. I so look forward to your videos. This week ,after shopping I was depressed. It seems as though it is getting tougher to feed my family. Seeing you do it gives me hope, really. I thank God for you and your family cheering me up❤❤❤
I read somewhere to mix an egg into your hamburger or any ground meat. It helps it from shrinking. True I don't know. But I will try it. I'm using 2 eggs for a lb.
Mac and cheese mixed with chilli is good
I’m Cajun and I make a lot of Jambalaya. I make mine from scratch, but even with the boxed one you can also add smoked sausage with or without chicken it’s delicious also if you like seafood shrimp jambalaya is great too. My Mom made a fantastic pork jambalaya also 😊
This is so wholesome and genuine. ❤ Thank you for sharing!
If you have leftover oatmeal.. place it in a bread pan cover and place in the fridge overnight.. slice it up and fry in some butter and serve with syrup... its almost like having mush!! So very good and a great why to use leftovers in a new way.. my husband's granny made it alot to feed her large family
Mrs Brooke I eat sweet potatoes the same way. Delicious! This whole week I have been re-inventing leftovers. 🙂 We had boneless skinless chicken breast on sale this week for $1.79 lb with digital coupon. The breast were so big that I will get 4 meals out of my $7.29 package. One breast feeds 3 adults. I am going back to get 1 more package. I only go in Kroger for digital coupons that are a REAL deal. I use Aldi and Dollar Tree as well. The $1.25 luncheon meat can feed all 3 of us for 1 meal. Thank you for all your amazing meal ideas and your honest frugal living.
New subscriber. Ive been binge watching your videos. I appreciate that you are so creative with your budget meala. Im so tired of everyone doing rice and beans and spaghetti.
Great job. My chickens have been laying well too and I am trying to figure out ways to use them up too. When my big freezer got fixed and I put my meats back into it I found a partial bag of cooked chicken strips so I made a big batch of fried rice and I used a bunch of asparagus from my garden in it. I also used one cut up pork chop to make a stir fry. If possible I use recipes that incorporate meat into them instead of the star of the show so we can stretch it farther.
brooke,you can freeze eggs.theres a few ways to do it! leoutube it.Its fab in the winter when the girls dont want to cooperate and they are on hiatus due to sunight issues.just a thought. ;)
Your youngest fainting from the goodness, makes my day every time😂❤
Since watching your videos I have learned to better portion out my dinners and not make so much at once. We also are very light eaters for breakfast and lunch and we do a big dinner every night
Pro tip ..use day old refrigerated rice to make fried rice its a game changer! I Enjoy your content!
Yes, this!
We used to substitute Thousand Island Salad Dressing with equal parts of mayo and catsup and a bit of chopped pickle.
Simple saves my sanity too! 😂 Also, my kids prefer simple food. Thanks for all of these great ideas!
Brown sugar is awesome in oatmeal
Brooke, you have given me so many great recipe ideas. I am so grateful for you. I feel like they are doable and really good... Not just cheap things thrown together. Your family seems happy and well fed on a budget. Thank you so much.
😋
Brooke My kids loved breakfast sausage or hot dogs in their mac n cheese. Very tasty.
Love the sweet potatoes just the way you ate yours! If you haven’t tried white sweet potatoes, they rock eating them whole ans cooked like you did! My husband was raised eating white sweet potatoes dipped in chicken gravy! Yum! We all love them!
I actually enjoy your videos and yes I’m not a breakfast person I only have lunch and dinner you seem to be a good soul keep up the good videos and your family is beautiful
I've recently realized I have more energy when I eat 1 egg (cooked different ways) & 2 slices bacon & 1-2 toasted carb. Hardy soup lunch & lighter healthy (mostly veggie) supper. Protein snack sometime daily.
I just lurve when Kylen faints lol. He's adorable. All your children are lovely. Chilli dogs are my absolutely favourite meal. Hubby isn't keen but I just love it. I was brought up not eating a lot of meat, hasn't done us any harm. I was born in the fifties, we never had chicken for a meal, it was lean rump steak minced or rump steak as stew, mum always only bought 3/4lb, all she could afford but we had brilliant meals. Always homemade soup, dinner and a homemade pudding oh and also a glass of milk. She bulked out meals with veg and dumplings. Thank you for sharing Brooke xxx Sorry I should have said Glasgow, Scotland here.
I don't eat a lot of meat either. Sometimes I just use a can of soup that has meat and mix that with a box of hamburger helper (instead of using hamburger. I have also made it with a can of drained beans instead of the meat or use any kind of ground meat instead of the burger.Or put the soup over rice or mashed potatoes with some veggies and maybe some melted cheese. My favorite soup is Campbell's Chunky. I like all the different flavors.
Hi, that onion would be fine. Just take the growing ring out and use the rest.
Great week of food.
Oh good, someone else goes that, too!😂
Brooke use need to make fluff baked Omelet recipe 1cup of ham or bacon 10 lrg eggs 1 cup of coconut milk or half and half 1cup cheese of your choice 2tsp chives pinch of salt&pepper bake in greased 9x9 at 350 for30 minutes to use up your eggs mu family really loves it
Great meals ideas😊
This is the old-fashioned Southern budget cooking I grew up on in the 1960s and still enjoy today. But it's crying out for some homegrown collard greens. Mass quantities of greens are that magical nutritional ingredient that is missing from most food budgets today. It's so important to our budget cooking that I now grow my greens, onions, herbs, and salad fixin's indoors. That might be something the kids would enjoy doing.
Great job, Dusty!
Ohhh a 40 minute video. I'm so excited.
❤ exactly! The longer the better!!😂
My stress-free TV show. Brooke is a Starlet😂
@@claudiamello7684 amen!
As always thanks for more great ideas. I’m glad you mentioned the bouillon in the pantry because I needed a suggestion for my group for their $5 pantry item and that gave me ideas. Have you ever heard of migas or chilaquiles? They are Mexican dishes that are simple and a different way to use corn tortillas to stretch meat/protein and are a great way to use up eggs.
Oooooh, chilaquiles are my favorite. Now I want them really bad.😂
That sounds really interesting, I love corn tortillas versus flour for all my dishes....
I'm gonna have to find out, I love Mexican but not sure what you are talking about
Great job. You are amazing. ❤❤❤
❤❤❤great ideas with the budget you had to work with.
Liked the Patti melts.
Hi Brooke! I loved that you mix your seasonings into your burgers! You can also add an egg yolk to make them extra juicy! ❤
Hint for eggs: crack into ice trays, freeze, then when solid store in ziplock freezer bag. Wham! During the season that you chickens aren’t laying as many you still have as many as you need.
For my tortilla pizzas I use spaghetti sauce and a little bit of sugar and bacon bits and shredded cheese. 350 degrees for 13 minutes or till done.
I eat sweet potatoes like that! Sweet potatoes are my favorite!
Great video ❤🎉 was so excited for a new one!!!
You took me back in time with those English muffin pizzas! Had those fairly often as a kid. Made them a few times for my kids when they were younger. ❤
I eat sweet potatoes like a push pop too! Sweet potatoes are my favorite food. Love them.
Wow! Great ideas! I didn’t think it could be done! You’re amazing🎉!
Oh Brooke first the eggs are coming out your butt and now they are coming out of your ears. We are making brisket fried rice tonight using up leftover brisket this is our third dinner from this brisket the gift that keeps on giving first night we had brisket with sides next night we had brisket grilled cheese with fries tonight will be brisket fried rice and tomorrow night will be leftover fried rice 4 dinners for 5 teens and adults from 2.5 pounds of brisket. Love your meals for this budget challenge. Chili cheese dogs are my favorite cheap meal. Well Brooke hope you have a great week. Brayden loves his mama's cooking so much.
It all looks good! You better watch out… Dusty is going to be working as a hibachi chef soon! He did great with the fried rice!😊
We make scrambles eggs and mix it with the chili beans all warmed in the same skillet and just to get extra full we make fresh handmand tortillas. Soooooooo delicious 😋
That sounds so good! Never thought to mix eggs with chilli beans.
If you add a touch of milk to your pot-any kind -the corn will absorb some - ups the flavor
Dusty's sesame oil, it's okay Brooke I love sesame oil. I add it in my Ramens soup.
I LOVE these realistic budget videos this has given me so much inspiration this week 💖
We also make. Pizza quesadillas for lunch. We put our toppings and cheese inside flour tortillas and put them on the griddle or frying pan. Or the black stone and Brown each side until cheese melts and dip in pizza sauce. Quick easy and cheap lunch. It’s delicious and my 3 kiddos love it so does my fiancé
It all looked great!
Yes Brook, we always say meat is the garnish. You don’t need to be heavy handed with meat, we need all that veg and grains to fill you up properly and be more healthy, 🙌 fantastic!!
I love your family’s reactions to your food, what a compliment!
This was awesome. I just googled 90s music walking workout and this came up. Perfect length and I loved how you smiled the entire time 😊
Brooks you are amazing,thanks for sharing ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
I don’t even like beef that much, but when he bit into the tortilla burger the crunch made me hungry!
I love your sons eyes when he reacts
Thanks Brooke for all you do! That is definitely budget meals for sure that I will try! Your boys are so sweet!
You could put a huge wok also! Love the grill set up
I agree 👍 lunch should be simple and easy and light
You have some good ideas I had never thought of, and some I do use.
That’s the bad part of using 73/27 HB meat. It shrinks almost 50%.
That is why we went to 90/10...we get the meat we paid such a high price for and not put it in the trash or grease jar.
Ugh paper plates
14:12 “I said drips!!!” Lol :) such a married couple. Love it-and looks yummy!
I love how your middle son!, sorry forgot his name!, tastes the food and then his eye's go wide as if to say wow how can this be so good(lovely)🇬🇧😊🇬🇧
One of my go-to meals, spaghetti with meatballs, and cut-up sweet Italian sausage.
I remember sitting on my daddy's lap eating sweet potatoes the same way you do. ❤
I actually really love all the food you made it wasn’t nasty or too unhealthy to feed my kids just to save money! And your personality is GOLD💕💕💕
What an awesome young man you have there! Top notch taste tester 👌
You're not the only one who eats baked sweet potatoes that way. Easy, quick, and delicious. It's especially great to eat them that way when you are "hangry."
I think I like those grills way better then the usual grills
You could add some black beans and rice to that last one, it looked like a fajita bowl❣️❣️
Yesssss love the long video!!
I love all these ideas ❤
❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂 all of above you are definitely down to earth and full of life and everyone watching y'all and you mama you cook just like my mom did long time ago you cook and make up as you go along ways I lost my mother 17 yrs ago and she also Cooked same way to so just continue doing you don't listen to the negativity ❤❤❤❤ it

Thanks for everything that you do to make our lives simpler
In case no 1 has told you today I just wanted to say that we Appreciate you
Have a Blessed Day because you Deserve it
Hi Brooke thank you for your videos ❤
Always look forward to your videos, great job per usual ❤!!
Happiness is watching your channel
Do you know who told us we need breakfast.....cereal companies ... Marketing. Intermittent fasting is the way! So many great health benefits. Ive always felt the way you just described about eating breakfast ...my stomach never wanted it but i did it qnyway bc i thought i was supposed to!! Now i eat from about 3 or 4 to 7 or 8. Water and black coffee during the day. Its awesome and i couldnt imagine eating all day again
Just a suggestion, I use spices and make my own "taco spice" baggies. I just started and it's pretty easy.
Me, too! Miss Lori @ Whippoorwill Holler has videos that teach how.
Hey Brooke i remember back in 1994 i use to spend 35 a week for 3 people that was 3 meals a day of course i used coupons back than. And packed my husbanss lunch. You did good with the prices now days.... Blessings
You are a delight! Love your videos!
Your kids are so cute, and such polite taste testers. Love these recipe ideas.
I love the way Colin gets himself ready to do a faint... You can see it coming!😅 Sets down his plate and down he goes!😂 Hes so cute!
I made 5he tortilla pizza cou0le days ago and couldnt find my jar of pizza sauce. So found a can of tomato sauce. Added a little italian seasoning i tiny pinch of garlic powder it was great! I pulled apart 2 mossarezlla cheese sticks, added pepperoni and black olives yum! 😋
LOVE YOUR HAIR!❤
You are a master planner. This was very inspirational. I appreciate the side note on how you shuffled some meals for the family members with strong taste preferences. I walked away with the idea of making Tortilla “burgers” tonight. I have the ingredients and this will be a great alternative to another taco night!
Great job !❤
