Julia, my budget was very tight this past week. I live by myself and live paycheck to paycheck. As there were unforseen expenses this month, I was seriously concerned about having enough food to eat while getting to my next pay-day. I followed everything you did in this video, and I couldn't be more grateful! With the leftovers, I was able to eat comfortably all week. I don't feel like I had to sacrifice nutrition or had to skip meals. THANK YOU. I'm a new subscriber.
Oh! That makes me feel so good Nicole! I’m so glad this video helped you💜💜
@@JuliaPacheco Does your garlic 🧄 have a bad smell?
@@JuliaPacheco The smell of garlic 🧄 gets me every time.
If you every find yourself running low please reach out to a food bank. Times are tough but no one should be food stressed.
@@donnadkshad6213 or a church! The food bank in my highly religious rural area requires proof of income AND state ID, meaning a lot of people who still need it are turned away, but the churches give to anyone who comes to their doors and their food pantry has helped me out many times this past year
Love how you bring dignity to individuals cooking on a budget ! TY
Well thank you so very much, Vicki. That really does mean a lot to me. I appreciate your kind words!😉💜
I appreciate this so much because I’m trying to cook meals for myself when my mom doesn’t want to provide me with food. She doesn’t really cook for us and only gets us fast food, so I’m gonna try to learn how to cook for me and my sisters. :)
That’s awesome Evelyn! I am sure that would help your mom a lot too. She is probably very busy. Thank you so much for watching and I sure hope you enjoy learning how to cook!😀😀
Good for you
❤
Breaking my heart ❤️ sweetie?! Good for u tho 🤗
It’ll definitely be cheaper and more fun than fast food hehe…it’s why I’m here 🤣 spending too much at those burger places
Wow. I’m a single father and I gotta say, that turkey taco/Spanish rice is freaking delicious. I JUST made it. So easy. Good stuff!!
Wow!! I am so very happy! Thank you so much for your comment have a great rest of your week😀
Now I gotta make it 🤤
Bless you and your baby or babies i hope yall enjoy cooking together
I’ve been living alone for months 😂 and now, because of you, I know how to cook basic meals.. thank U 🙏🏽
That is awesome! I am so happy to hear that you were able to find some meals that work for you. Sometimes it is hard to cook for just one person, so I am glad you were able to use these recipes!
I’m a busy college student on a budget, and I’m trying to get my family to eat better as well as make meals in a pinch. This is seriously the best video I could have come across!! Great work! 😭❤️🙏🏾
This makes me so happy! Thank you so much :-)
@@JuliaPacheco 15 bean soup bag in your grocery aisle ,add the rest you want to put in it..
Please don’t buy cheap factory chicken breast! Make sure it’s pasture raised and organic
Aw cute ☺️
@@laflame5798 shut up
I'm getting my masters in nutrition right now, so I think about food 24/7... it's exhausting and the last thing I want to do is think about what to make myself for dinner. You are a life saver!!
That is soo awesome! I’m glad you like these:)
BEST VIDEO EVER! So simple I love the format and voice over with visuals. Broke college students everywhere sing your praises
I remember going to the grocery store with a calculator because things were so tough!! Thank you so much, I don’t like to spend $ on food!!❤️
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you found this helpful :-)
@@jazmin2111 disliking something and not doing something are different lol
you have wine in your profile picture, obviously someone needs to get their priorities straight lol
@@christopherblackhall2832 She said "I remember" not "this is my every day". Who knows how long ago she was stuggling?
@@Taxi4B she clearly says “I don’t like to spend money on food” but she drinks alcohol. So someone should get her priorities straight, alcohol is non essential and she continues to eat bad food
Thank you for these simple and realistic meal ideas. Looking for meal idea can be so frustrating for me; I don't enjoy cooking. I don't want complicated or fancy, I want simple, somewhat healthy, fast, and affordable lol. I would watch a dozen of these videos, these are the EXACT kind of meals I like to make. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad that the videos I make especially for you :-) I hope you have a wonderful week
Watching a year later. I am looking for quick, easy, budget-friendly meals. I couldn't agree more. Some meal ideas aren't geared toward folks that arrive home at 5:30 & need to have dinner on the table before 6:00.
I’m the same way. I don’t necessarily enjoy cooking, so I appreciate these quick meals. They’re so tasty.
Helpful taste tip for fajitas:
For any Mexican cuisine, if you want more flavor buy the seasoning called Sazón Goya (orange box) in the Mexican cuisine section. 8 packs should last you a while! I use only a half packet typically for 4-6 servings if food.
If you don’t have garlic, use it with garlic and onion powder. If you feel the need for salt I recommend garlic salt with it.
It is what a lot of Mexican restaurants (in the midwest) use to season their meat
Wow! Thank you so very much for that great tip. I sure do appreciate that. Thank you so much for watching and have a great rest of your week😉🙌🏼
@@JuliaPacheco you’ve given me and my boyfriend so much inspiration on how to budget for our meals. You are the one who deserves the thank you! Have a good one Julia :)
The last meal we call Hobo soup. I know insensitive name but my grandma called it that. I’ve enjoyed this since I was a kid. She made due with what she had. My favorite stew ever
I wonder how much Kroger pays her.
That’s so funny! We make hobos all the time. Also a family recipe. Just carrots, potatoes, onions and ground beef baked in foil and then topped with steak sauce and butter. Sooo good!
@@MyOzempicJourney
And pioneer woman. All her dishes are hers 😁
@@MyOzempicJourney she shops at Walmart too so 🤷
@@wandamontgomery6030 you guys are kinda snarky
Summer Squash casserole: 1. one pkg. Smoked Turkey sausage. 2. One good size yellow squash 3.one good size zucchini 4.one baking potato 5. OneSmall onion 6.half stick butter. Peel and slice squash and zucchini. Dice onion and cut up the sausage. Peel and slice potato. Spray a casserole dish with pam, put everything into the casserole dish, sprinkle salt and pepper on everything. cut up the half stick of butter and place around the top of the dish. Cover and baked at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Girl thank you so much for showing recipes with simple ingredients. This is hard to find these days! It’s not always so simple to make everything from scratch when you’ve got a baby hanging off you hip, LOL!
That is seriously so sweet! Thank you so much😊 I hope you have a wonderful week:)
I knpw what you mean, had 3 boys
As a single mom on a serious budget, I freaky have to thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. Much appreciated dear!
Thank you so very much! I’m so glad you enjoyed💜
WOW! Thank you SO much!! I was thinking we had 'nothing to eat' (nothing that sounds good to make), and I have almost everything for all these recipes, and I won't have to go to the market for a few more days. Just want to mention if you put green bell pepper in a paper bag, it'll turn orange in a day or 2, then red. It is all the same fruit, just at different stages of ripeness. I didn't know this until I was WELL into adulthood.
Thank you so much!
That's great to know! Thanks for the tip!
First video I’ve ever watched where I have all the ingredients 😂
I love that these are so veggie heavy. I've been trying to figure out more ways to incorporate veggies. Thank You for the tips! 😁
Wow this is incredible. So many “budget friendly” recipes are still expensive. I need something for the person struggling to make ends meet. Love this
Leanne Brown's website has some great, seriously cheap meal recipes too. Go take a look.
If you have a dollar store of any kind close to you then you should check there. You’d be surprised how many stuff they have. And I know in the US some dollar stores even have a frozen food section from what I’ve seen in some peoples videos on here.
When I was running on one income I had the same issue almost everything was always "buy in bulk!" Cheap but I didn't even have the budget for buying in bulk lol
Now I know what to do with the box of Spanish rice!
This makes me so happy to hear Kathy! Thank you 💜
I was alway buying Spanish rice to make with something or other
I adore Vigo Yellow rice. I make a one pot meal with it adding a can of tomatoes, diced Chiles, corn, black beans and shredded chicken. I just add it all but the chicken when cooking the rice with just a tad more water and then add the chicken when the rice is done cooking.
Hahaha that's funny bc I was thinking the same thing when I seen that on her video, bc I've had "that random box of Spanish rice" in my pantry for awhile now not knowing what I could put with it.....lol
Same! 😁
To cut the sugar, you can peel and use half a split carrot when you make the sauce. It adds natural sweetness
I agree 👍we add carrots to our pasta sauce. my daughter prefers them grated into the sauce.
Julia I'm so glad I found your channel a month or so ago! This is how I love to cook! Easy, simple, and delicious! And who doesn't love inexpensive!
You are so kind thank you so much for being here! Have a wonderful night 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I’m a college student and a mother of 2 little boys. This is great!
That’s awesome! I sure hope these help😀
That can soup actually looks really good and much healthier than just the canned soup, smart way to add veggies and protein to a quick meal.
Thank you so much! It really is healthy and super yummy :-)
You can turn a soup into a casserole by adding noodles or rice if you like all of a sudden fing unexpected guests at your house
I detest can soup. Love homemade soup recipes
That soup reminds me so much of a soup I make every once in a while. The ingredients for mine are:
Kielbasa
Ham (16oz. Oscar Mayer)
Pepperoni (8-10 oz pkg)
1 can of corn
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of peas (or green beans)
8oz. elbow macaroni
Green onion (scallions)
Beef, chicken or vegetable stock (32 oz. or enough to cook noodles)
Chop/cube kielbasa, ham, pepperoni, and onion up. Throw into big, deep pot with bout a table spoon of olive oil. Let it get some brown onto sausage then add all remaining ingredients including liquids in cans (adds so much more flavor). Bring to boil then lower temp to simmer. Cover and let simmer until noodles are done. No need for seasoning bc there's literally so much flavor from everything you're putting in but you could add if you want. This recipe is so versatile. You could change it up and add just about anything and it'd taste just as delicious. That's why I love this recipe so much. You can not mess it up. Give it a whirl and see what you think 😊. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
This sounds absolutely amazing I’m going to have to give it a try! All of my favorite flavors. Have a wonderful day :-)
@@JuliaPacheco I've been calling it 'Italian gumbo' bc tbh didn't know what else to call it and came up with the idea by putting what you'd put on a pizza into a soup (hints the pepperoni, ham, sausage, onion, tomatoes (and noodles to replace the dough)) and adding a few other things to add more flavor and....pizzazz I guess you could say 😊. I just wanted something completely different. It actually turned out amazing and quite the hit with the family, so win, win 😊. I, personally, can not get enough of it when I do make it and make a pig of myself which is why I don't make it that often 😂.
I ised to the same thing but I would add cabbage, onions garlic and potatoes
This sounds delicious
Thanks so much… my boyfriend told me to start saving money for us to get married. Times are really tuff right now. I really appreciate you so much. I know my family is going to love your recipes they look amazing girl.
This makes me so happy! I’m so glad that these were helpful to you :-) have a great weekend😊
Congrats on saving for marriage!
Hope he’s doing the same!
Hi, it's getting really hard here in Canada to make frugal dinners. I appreciate you and all the effort you put into your channel!
Thank you Brenda!
Love your channel. Love your ideas. For the sausage, brocoli, and rice casserole, I would cut the sausage pieces in a half from what you did and add more rice. I will be doing this tonight 😋
I just got to college, and I have to make my own food! This is going to help so much😂🙏🏾
I’m so glad!!
Best years of my life ! Have a blast
This channel’s about to be your best friend! Enjoy!
You don't know how to cook for yourself by the time you become a college age human being adult????? I'm sorry to hear how sheltered you were. That's tragic pal. You should look into something called top ramen and spam, also bread and an amenity called lunch meat. Sorry mommy isn't there to spread mayo on the bread for you
@@jasonreplogle725 damn dude dont gotta be a dick. People are raised different. Your privilege is showing
Thank you so much for this! Mother of 5 here, and I’m always looking for inexpensive but healthy meal ideas 😊
A huge compliment coming from an amazing mom! 😀
@@JuliaPacheco awwww you just made my day! Thank you so much! 😊🙏🙏💖
Bless your soul for putting chapters in this video with each recipe
Awesome. This is how I like to cook. One pot, good ingredients, simple, fresh, delicious, and inexpensive. Thank you for sharing these great recipes.
You really know how to stretch a dollar 👍🏼
This is so kind of you to say Kathryn 💜
Yummy meals and so inexpensive too..
She can (Probably) pinch a penny till it screams.... jk
I really appreciate your channel. All the recipes now days require so much money. You are a real human making cheap easy to follow meals. Its such a relief! ❤❤
It's 8am and that spaghetti has me drooling! I absolutely love meatless spaghetti. I want to try that marinara sauce!
Oh thank you 😍😍😍
I love leftover spaghetti for breakfast. It makes me happy! 🙂
I sometimes eat spaghetti left overs for breakfast lol
@@QueenGoddessYume Mmm me too, spaghetti breakfast!
Thank you Julia! I am ready for the week with these meals!
This helps a lot as I am a full time healthcare worker and part time student in a budget, especially with me moving into my first apartment. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I am so very glad that you find this video is so helpful! Sure hope it helps and thank you so much for watching🙌🏼
That soup will b great this week as it is cold. Along with a piece of homemade Artisan bread. YUM Thank you.
Thank you so much Donna :-)
Oh, I just realized you're here in Utah! Yay! I've been enjoying your videos and passing them on to my adult son who is a small business owner and needs to keep costs down. Thank you!
That’s so great! I hope he enjoys making these recipes😀
So many "cooking on a budget" videos include buying a bunch of cans and packets and mashing them together. Maybe I'm old school, but I always felt that starting from scratch is cheaper, except you have to have some things in your pantry and keep staples, like onions, garlic, potatoes, etc, on hand. You impressed me when you started off with a scratch marinara. (Yes, I count using canned tomatoes as scratch, if it's good enough for nonna, it's good enough for me.)
Thank you so much for the rice casserole recipe. I was at a point where I didn’t know what to make for dinner tonight…so grateful I found your recipe ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked that ideas😊
That was fun! The soup was a surprise. I have never seen a recipe like that. I do like minestrone soup and will definitely give it a try. Thank you for the recipes. Everyone needs a few cheap and easy recipes on busy evenings. Do you still live close to your family? I hope so. Everyone seemed so happy together. I hope you have a great week.💘
You are so kind thank you so much! I really hope you enjoy the minestrone soup. We live closer to my siblings now but further from my parents 💜
This video is great. Exactly what I need for my diet, familiar enough to what I’m comfortable eating (I’m kind of picky) and perfect for a 20-something grocery budget. BONUS- all this stuff is super easy to make. I wish you would have shown cook times for the chicken and ground turkey because I’m still new to the meat life but most of you probably already know how to do this so I can look it up.
The turkey sausage casserole is great. My wife loves it! I’ve made it so much that I’ve began to substitute! Rotini or penne for rice, and chicken sausage instead of turkey sausage.
I’m so happy to hear that! And thank you so much for watching🙌🏼
Great recipes; easy for my RV. I think the Turkey/Rice-A-Roni mixture would be tasty inside a corn tortilla.
Oh my goodness, I just tried the turkey and rice recipe, and I have to say that I am impressed! This meal was so easy and quick to fix up, and the flavor is very good. Plus, it made so much food. I'm going to have tasty leftovers for several meals. 10/10 would recommend.
That’s awesome Grace thanks so much and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!💜💜
This all looks good when you’re on a tight budget. Thank you! 😄

I love dressing up store bought items with additional ingredients to make them more flavorful, hearty and go farther. The minestrone soup is perfect for this!
I sure hope you enjoy that soup! It is absolutely my all-time favorite💜
I love how you cook with turkey , chicken,and beef. I also will have one to two meatless meals a week. Thanks for sharing.
You just made my meal plan for next week! Yum!
That is so awesome to hear! Thank you so much Leigh! Have a wonderful day:)
All of these recipes will be on my next grocery run for sure. Thank you!
I’m so glad! You will have to let me know how you like them!
INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLE WATCH!!!
You are a life saver honestly! I can’t cook very many things because I never know how to jus throw something together and your videos really help me to try new things without breaking the bank!
I’m so glad you found some things that you would like to make. Thank you so much for watching!😀
Hi Julia! Thanks for the recipes. I tried the turkey and rice . I substituted the diced tomatoes with no salt rotel and no salt taco seasoning. This was sooo good! I topped with cheese, pickled jalepenos, avocado cilantro ranch dressing and tortilla chips. This served 6 people!
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe! Have a wonderful day Lorie :-)
You sure do make everything look so easy and very delicious Thank You 😃
You are so kind! Thank you Candy 💜
@@JuliaPacheco You are very welcome 💐
My daughter's favorite recipe I make is macaroni pie. The cost depends on how much you want to put into it and how much you're making, but it's relatively cheap. 1 box macaroni, 6 eggs, milk or heavy cream, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, chili powder. Cook macaroni. In a pie dish, layer mac and then layer shredded cheese. Repeat. You can change the taste by using our combining different cheeses. Then take your eggs (usually 4-6) and whisk in about a cup of milk (just eyeball it) or heavy cream. Add in spices (again eyeball it but don't be shy here). Once it's all combined SLOWLY pour evenly over pie. Bake at 400 until eggs are cooked. If it's too soupy it ain't done. I usually start with 15-20 mins and just watch from there. Serve like you would a pie.
This is cheap and easy to feed a crowd, great as leftovers and freezes beautifully. This recipe is originally from Scotland. The original uses sweet dumplings and goat cheese (my ancestors were sheep people). However my great grandma modified this during the great depression which is the same recipe I use today.
That sounds amazing! Thank you so much for sharing 💜
Ground chicken and turkey was expensive at my local grocery but pork sausage was on sale so I subbed that in. My family loved the Spanish rice dish
They added taco mix cheese and sour cream. Even my pregnant daughter went back for seconda.
I so appreciate your channel! I had just about given up cooking! My family is always so picky and my husband has some tough allergies. But everything I have cooked, my family loves!! Thank you so much!!!
That makes me so happy Katie think you so much for sharing that🧡🧡
Great ideas 💡 I was getting out ideas thank you
Love these inexpensive and easy meals!!! More of this please! 😍
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like them :-)
Your a blessing for many size families. Thank-you for taking time to make video's
Thank you so very much for that positive comment, Lynette! And thank you so very much for watching😉
I made a similar recipe to the last one but I added white beans and pepperoni.
Delicious!
No measuring, just love❤️
I love these videos, Julia! You’re a Godsend! 🥰
You are so kind to me Jane! Thank you 💜
I love all of your videos...such a perfect organized way to give us each step for delicious meals...THANK YOU! I shared these meals
Thank you so very much, Janet! I really do appreciate that😉💜
My Son and I love Campbell's Vegetable Beef Soup with rice. You could season it however you want but we love it just the two mixed together.
These are variations of several meals I make occasionally. The last soup recipe is similar to a "Tin Can Soup", which we enjoy. Thanks for sharing, Julia! ❤
Thank you so much Willette! Have a blessed day 💜
I make similar rice casseroles and they're so tasty. Thank you for posting even though you're very busy after moving.
You are so kind for appreciate me! Thank you so much Kim! I hope you are having a wonderful Friday 💜
The four can soup is amazing. Love it.
So good to see the new faces of cooking on Westgate...frank and Kenna...love your shows
Thank you for sharing your recipes!
I’m so happy that this video was recommended to me, I’m always looking for affordable recipes to make at home. Now that I’m subscribed to your channel, I can’t wait to see what you cook next!
Thank you so much!
Love this!!! I had almost all of the ingredients for all of these meals in my pantry too. 💛
Thank you so much Kaitlyn!💜 let me know how the recipes go for you :)
I made the turkey sausage meal and my husband loved it! Fast meal to make! Thank you 😊
I love your round wooden cutting board. I love the dishes that you've made in this video.
Yes! Ideas for hubby's dinner
These meals look yummy, and I already have several of the ingredients.. thanks for sharing! ❤️
You are so sweet thank you so much Courtney :-)
Your channel is saving us so much right now. We have been trying to fix our budget while eating healthy and not the same things. Thank you so much for making these videos!
I’m so glad! Thank you so much Amber😊
One thing I would love to do with the 4 can soup is put it in ramekins and top it with corn bread and bake it. Yum yum yum yum yum.
Just made the rice casserole! & omg so much flavor it’s amazing!!🙌🏻 Thank you so much!❤️❤️ Easy to make too!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! 💜
Nice and simple, I work hard and don't feel like cooking when I get home, so I'll try one of your recipes they seem easy! Thanks for the ideas!! 😁
Thank you so much! I am so glad this was able to give you some good ideas :-) have a great day
Where were you when my 3 sons lived at home?! Pre and teens eat a lot. They won't need to, but if they had to move back home, I would just triple your recipes and every body would be full. I make your ideas and just freeze (if possible) what's left for me and my husband to eat a few days later.
Thanks so much.
I don't measure seasonings either. I eyeball it like you do. :)
I’m so glad that this works for you! Thank you so much for watching😀
First time home buyer at the age of 21 - I live alone and need some budget friendly dinner. I can't wait to try these!
Good for you! That is a huge accomplishment! I sure hope that these meals can help😀😀
Wow Julia, all of these looked delicious, quick and simple. Great video!
Thank you so much you are so sweet! :-)

Everything looks great at a great price Juila! That turkey rice dish looked yum as did the fajitas especially i also want to try the minestrone soup. Keep doing this these videos are always a good watch stay safe. Oh and bacon.
This is really kind of you to say! Thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness! And yes to bacon 😊
I loved all the recipes. About the green bell pepper! In my old age, I just don't like the taste of it anymore! When colored peppers go on sale, we slice all of them and flash freeze (lay them out on a cutting board or baking sheet and let them freeze. Once frozen put them in a bag and use how much you want when ever you need them! This way they aren't all clumped together in the bag!!) Same with onions, same idea! TFS
Everything looks Yummy 😋😋
These recipes are wonderful. We are doing budget meals so this truly helps. Thank you so much Julia💗
Happy Friday!!!All your content is 👍👍thank you for sharing and have a fun weekend ✨💕☀️🌊
You are so sweet thank you Maria 💜
Hey sweetie, they all looked so great and at such good prices too! Great job! I'm so grateful you do this for all of us. I'll be trying these very soon. (Cause you made me hungry, again.) Give sweetie-pie hugs and kisses for me please. Take care, love y'all, be safe and God bless.
You are so kind to us Deb! We appreciate you. I hope you had a blessed weekend 😊
Julia, thank you for doing God's work. ❤👍🏼
Oh! Thank you so much😉
Doing a bit of binge watching and really feel impressed.
Thank you for another amazing video, Julia, and for feeding me cheaply!
Julia, you ALWAYS make me hungry! Everything looked so delicious. Love that you use Kroger, as I find it to be SUPER economical. I want to make all of these, as usual, but the turkey/Spanish rice will probably be first. I already have the ingredients. I hope you're having a wonderful time in the new home already, and REALLY looking forward to videos from that incredible kitchen! Love and YUMs!
You are just so sweet thank you so much I appreciate this! We absolutely love Kroger in this home especially when they have sales ha ha! Thank you for your kind words I hope you’re doing well :-)
Love! Thanks again!
Awesome and inspiring recipes! I like the use of the frozen veggies and seasoning. Also very time friendly!
