I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ryder so excited as when he tasted the Cinnamon Toast Crunch spread. 😂 He gave us a Brayden reaction!
I thought the same thing!
Yes he did!
I know, right? lol😅
100%true
Your channel is such a blessing to me! We are not food insecure now but as a child we experienced some very hard times. As a result I have huge anxiety about not being able to afford to feed my family, especially with current inflation. Since finding your channel I don’t experience that anxiety nearly as much. Thank you! ❤
Good job, Mama.
Women are very resourceful in the kitchen.
I love challenging myself by looking in my pantry, freezer and fridge.
Some really tasty meals have come about that way.
I learned from my mom and we weren't ever hard pressed to have a lot of groceries.
There were my 2 parents, 5 of us siblings and sometimes our grands.
It was fun and teachable.
Now my kids are doing it, too, and even my grands thar like to cook.
Hey, there are plenty of hungry folks out there, who don’t have sufficient food. It’s good to know that someone cares enough to show them how to eat on a budget. It might not be fancy, but it’s better than going hungry.
Gnocchi is knee-oh-key but you gotta say it fast. My husband has a SUPER thick southern accent (think Boomhauer from Family Guy) so I spend a lot of time trying to get him to speak so others can understand him! One time he was telling me about “Bouncy” and I couldn’t figure out who he was talking about. Turned out it was Beyoncé. lol! I swear I spent the first 6 months of dating him saying “Say that again” and “What did you say?” But after being together for almost 20 years, I can now say I’m bilingual, I speak English and Redneck. 🤣
That's hilarious, I love it!
I grew up in a big family 10 children and my mom and dad, and when there was oatmeal left, (and I think my dad made sure there was😉) He would put it in loaf pans in the refrigerator and cut it and fry it the next morning for breakfast. We loved it with maple syrup. You can do it with corn meal mush too😊😊
Grits also
That sounds so good! Have a wonderful weekend!
I do this with grits and add cheese on top when I re heat.
My mother would make that when was kids the cornmeal mush. I never made it myself 😊😊
If you mash the potatoes before you add the flour, your dough will be lighter. Also, if you use potatoes you baked (or microwaved), they will need less flour and be lighter. Just a quick tip!
There was 7 in the household when I was growing up. .my mom would make us bologna cups....they are SO GOOD!!!
place your bologna slices on a baking sheet....place in the oven on broil...the bologna will cup up...then place some mash potatoes in the little bologna cup top it off with a slice of cheese..put it back in the oven long enough for the cheese to melt....and that's it. They are really good!
That sounds amazing!
Your hair is SUPER CUTE with the little braids! You are a VERY creative cook and you are HELPING people who are struggling to feed their families during these times of inflation and high food prices. God Bless You and Your Family!
Do you ever make quiche? It's a breakfast, lunch, or dinner item. With your garden and chickens, it would be a very reasonably priced main dish. Real men do like quiche! Love your videos. Thank you.
I agree with that. I love making quiche with my leftovers. I do this with my jiffy mix or busquick. I’m sure it is not the same but it’s cheap and easy.
Bisquick makes an easy crust!
Have y’all tried the gnocchi that they have at $Tree? It is yummy, not boiled but fried in a skillet with a little butter, it would be great fried in bacon grease! Serve it with green beans from the garden. I put packages of it in our Blessings Box with a serving idea. It’s a winner!
I didn't find out that our family was considered money challenged until I was in my 50's. My dad being in the military at one time only made $200.00 at month. My mother grew up DIRT POOR which was a blessing for us kids cuz she new how to cook her tail off. My parents had company the at times made sure they arrived at dinner and mom some how could feed us all.
Thanks for sharing your life stores that accompany your food.
Brooke you have a great husband, and three fantastic sons!!!
You are so blessed !!!❤❤❤
Ryder's reaction to breakfast was more animated than usual, love it
The directions on the oatmeal is for the "mexican" way to eat oatmeal. It is blended into like an oat milk drink that is warm as opposed to the traditional bowl of oatmeal. That is why the directions seem weird.❤❤
I would probably like oatmeal prepared that way! I am not fond of oatmeal, but I am going to try it this way.😊
Omg I just made sweet potato gnocchi the day before yesterday! It’s delicious and surprisingly easy. After boiling the gnocchi I pan fried them with butter, sage, rosemary and some left over shredded chicken and cherry tomatoes. Added a little parmesan and I was happier than a pig in slop! ❤😊
Hi Brooke, you can also fry the sweet potato skins, add some salt and eat them as a snack.
I always eat (baked) potatoe skins so I dont see why not
I absolutely love your videos. When my boys were young I had to come up with quite a few emergency meal plans as I was a single mom on a very tight budget. But we made it through with lots of love and full stomachs. You are an inspiration sweetheart and those boys are the sweetest. 😊
I bet that Cinnamon Toast Crunch spread would be good in the oatmeal or if you had made a banana-cinnamon Toast Crunch breakfast bread pudding. Also would be good on a banana muffin or banana bread. Also, have you ever eaten hard fried egg sandwiches? White bread( not toasted), with mayonnaise spread on it with a hard fried egg on it with S&P to taste. My father would make these all the time! This along with a baked cold sweet potato or a cinnamon & sugar fried pie was his lunch he carried in his lunch pail for two miles to school durning the Great Depression. 😊
Fried eggs on toast is my fave!!💞💞💞💞
When I was growing up in the 90's my mom would buy ground cinnamon and mix it in the shaker 50/50 with some sugar, and we would have that on toast with some margarine and a cup of tea for breakfast. We saved the .99 cent Peter Pan peanut butter and the rest of the bread for lunch!
My kids loved cinnamon sugar toast when they were growing up
Us too!! Loved it!!!💞💞💞💞
I love that the kids have a treat with the Cinnamon Toast spread even on a strict budget day! And I would consider it a treat too
I just had that treat for breakfast
I'm gonna try this
Great menu 😊. The reason your oatmeal has weird instructions is because it's a latin food brand and in Mexico they serve oatmeal watery like a warm drink in a mug, similar to coffee or hot cocoa. 🥰.
I was just going to post the same thing! 😂
I was going to comment the same thing!
I didn't know that specifically. Growing up, my mom would fix oatmeal watery and then complain she didn't like it. My mom was born in a town with a lot of Hispanic culture that my grandparents adopted. My dad and I preferred our oatmeal thicker. When Mom needed help neat the end of her life, I started fixing her oatmeal the way I like it better and she really loved it.
Yes, even babies drink something similar.
I tasted it from a Mexican Mama when I was in Arizona and it was delicious.
I love your channel! It reminds me of all of the good parts of my childhood and current life. I suffer from anxiety and depression so every chance to relish in the feel good moments is truly wonderful. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤
I get the best hit of dopamine from watching these budget videos.
Leah, I am slowly recovering from severe depression and anxiety. I too have learned that cherishing every good moment, no matter how small, is a huge help. The fact that you are beginning to enjoy something is a good sign!! I hope you will soon be in a much better place. Wishing you the very best.
@@sandy-pf9bb sending you all my love and good vibes! I’m so proud of us! I hope your journey to healing goes as smoothly as possible ❤️❤️
@leahrowe7275 Thank you so much. I'm having to learn to be proud of my progress bc people that were in my life shamed me for being depressed. I'm also learning to celebrate my wins (no blame for when I slide) I'm proud of us too. Thank you for sharing that. Stay strong, We Can Do This. 🙂🩷🙂🩷
She’s a great ray of sunshine and her family is sweet. Well done to all who look for the good in life, especially when life is hard. 💖
Hey Brooke, you inspired me and my daughter to make up some shelf stable meals to put in those little libraries (blessing boxes) around town. ❤
Thank you so much for putting good stuff in the blessing boxes! I love to do that, and ive traded with the box for things u could use, when it was there! They're so awesome!
We don't have them here. maybe I should start one? I wouldn't even know how to create one 🤦
@@thejessicawilliamswithyoun4946Or you can just donate to your local shelter.
This is how my mom cooked oatmeal when I was growing up and omg it is the best. When I was pregnant it was one of the few things I craved and i would literally bawl dramatically because she didn’t live near me and it didn’t taste the same when I made it 😂 but it had to have cinnamon and we dipped buttered toast in it.
Your hair looks great
The cinnamon toast crunch spread is great in oatmeal as well.
Great idea! ❤
I must have missed that recipe. Sounds good.
@@barbarazuviceh6506 its a spread thats at dt right now. So yummy!
Lol Brooke always had steel cut oats with sugar and cinnamon - my grandmother and I would dip our toast in it - decades ago - but the way I make it for my grandbabies
I have never made gnocchi, I had no idea it was so simple! I am definitely going to try this. I'm so glad I found your channel! These low budget, delicious meals are.really helping keep me afloat during these difficult times. Bless you for.doing this work!!
I feel ya with the accent!! 😂 Say "knee-yo-key" kind of fast and you've got gnocchi! ❤
Ryder's face with the first bite of toast was amazing. I have never ever seen him react like that. This menu was a definite winner.
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world . I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind?

Breakfast for dinner is always a go to at our house. Instead of using butter or margarine to cook the eggs in, I use liquid cold. Bacon grease! Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Breakfast for dinner is always a winner!!!
At my home, we often make SHAKSHUKA for dinner and enjoy it with flatbread
Hi Brooke , Dusty and boys
Thank you Brooke , for all your hard work putting these videos together for us. Thank you for showing us the ingredients and recipes to make emergency meals plans. Sending lots and love of hugs , love , blessings and countless prayers for y'all ❤️🙏
I agree w/Tammy. Your hair does look great! Brooke, you did it again. Everything looked delicious and for $6. You're the bomb! Have a glorious day and be blessed always, my Southerland Squad! xoxo
replay you are amazing figuring out meals with a low budget. One problem I have is my husband woun't eat rice. Had a bad experience in the Navy. Your bunch eats almost anything .
@@cindywalker3203 I hear you! We love it but my mom doesn't like it at all. It's a pain. Have a great day!❤
Ryder's eyes 👀 when he bit into that toast 🤯 😂was everything
Your boys are so adorable! I love their reactions and they seem to genuinely love your food and seem so grateful❤️
I’ve never had Gnocchi made with SWEET potatoes, only white, but I’m going to make this asap. Thank you… 🧡🍠
I'm loving your hair bestie ❤
Omgosh you are a delight to watch! My husband and I have COVID and came across your channel and it's the only thing we want to watch! It sure has helped take our mind off of not feeling well. The fried bologna/egg sandwich sure looks good! My hubby enjoyed watching dusty cook fried rice on the grill. Wholesome values is what we need on tv. I love kylands thumbs up.
Love the recipes and love your hair ! I never bother to peel my sweet potatoes I just boil or steam or even microwave and when cool enough to handle the skins just slide off
I Love your hair!!!!!!!!!! K for the sweet potato... you could bake the skins and add crumbled bacon and onions, maybe some chopped peppers, then shredded cheese and bake again until cheese is melted and yum... some yummy snacks
Oooh, that sounds good!
Brooke you did awsome! You did great on this six dollar challenge.
Great recipes Brooke , and your hair looks beautiful with the cut you have now !! TIP- when you go ti peel sweet potatoes if you cut them in rounds about 1/2-1 inch thick they are so much easier to peel , you can then cut them in cubes of just boil them in the rounds ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
Thanks!!!
@@SouthernFrugalMomma your welcome sweetie !! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
Great tip.
I love this Brooke...you should do a week's worth of this if u haven't already!!
That cinnamon toast crunch dust I use in my coffee GAME CHANGER YA'LL!!
Love your hair! Great video! As always! Ryder gave us a Braden reaction! Keep it up, Brooke! You’re so inspiring!
I love oatmeal and toast. it’s one of my childhood memories too my grandmother would make it and throw in some raisins and top it with a little milk. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
This video had me remembering a treat when I was a kid, when Mom would sprinkled dried jello on buttered toast.
We never know what kind of Ryder we are going to end up with lol! But on this one Ryder was the star of the video for me he was so excited about that banana toast lol
You're the best! Love your hair.
I ALWAYS enjoy your videos Brooke!!🥰🥰 Thanks for sharing these budget friendly meals!!😋😋
He so cute when he does his fainting❤️❤️very good meals
Great recipes as always😀 I check all the sales for grocery stores on sunday/monday every week, and write down the lowest prices for the things I need.

I haven't seen anything like the cinnamon spread here in the uk, looks really good and a bargain at just over a dollar
Perfectly made. The ingredients that go into ur dish show how tasty it would have been. Look delicious and amazing recipe. Loved it. Hoping to learn more from you. Nicely explained. Thanks. 💕Stay Connected 💕
Another great video pretty lady! Your recipes are simple and so yummy looking! I love breakfast for dinner.
Thanks for the ideas.
P.S. your hair looks awesome.
For some reason I thought you were gonna make Bannana oatmeal pancakes with toast and eggs when you said breakfast for dinner hahah
Hi Brooke and family I think your very talented at cooking for your family., ignore the unintelligent comments because the love you display for your family is fanominal and all the planning, organizing and execution of the meals is excellent.
Kindest Regards,
Debbie. ❤❤❤❤❤
Keep shining bright the world needs you
You can also use brown sugar with a splash of vanilla in your oatmeal.
Oh my, that oatmeal looks so good....oatmeal, toast, and fried eggs, good anytime of the day
For a minute I thought you were rubbing the butter right onto the stove. I gotta wear my glasses. 😂
😂I did too
Your personality reminds me SO much of my own lol I think that's one of the many reasons I find you so relatable and I'm here for it. I'm a widowed mom of 3 girls, life is busy, and I can't ever seem to think of anything outside of tacos or spaghetti anymore, let alone something simple and affordable, so I love seein what you come up with, and it never disappoints. Keep em comin and God bless💕💕
I truly appreciate videos like this, we recently had to call an exterminator, something we have never had to do in our six years of homeownership. Now we're in a bit of a bind and I need ideas for an emergency food budget this week. Thank you!
I always enjoy your family ❤️ you are a great mom you can cook for me anytime. My daddy was the one who made the best oatmeal and it's my go to we also make toast on the stove so much better. My love to you all ❤️
I love to see how happily you prepare meals for your family.
A tiny pinch of sage puts that gnocchi over the moon!!
You are so inspiring to so many people. Keep up the good work!
If you had any cinnamon toast crunch spread in would be good in the oatmeal. Or even use it with the Sweet potatoes and make them baked and used as a cinnamon butter type flavoring
Okay I first want to start off by saying I freaking LOVE you girl, you and I are so much alike when it comes to cooking and feeding our family.. Saving $$ is so important right now for us,watching you has helped me with that so Thank You..
Also I would have put a spoon of that Cinnamon toast crunch spread in my oatmeal 😊🤤🩷💙💜
I like your hair today :)
I love your videos, I always learn something new. Your family is just the sweetest. I appreciate your hard work in putting out helpful and uplifting content. 💕
I love your hair!!!❤️❤️❤️
So great! You’ve inspired me to try making gnocchi
I would enjoy if u shared more stories from your childhood like how ur parents bought clothes, when y’all are out, what y’all did for fun-these memories are priceless and important to record for all the kids out there!
I love breakfasts for dinner!! I'm going to look for that spread at $ 🌳. Looks yummy.
Brooke you and your family are amazing.Thank you and your family for great funny enjoyable videos.
Ryder loves that breakfast ❤
Your oldest son reminds me of tall boy on Rim of the World. They favor each other a little bit. Love this video.
Morning Brooke. Another great video!!! You should try making cavatelli....no more difficult than making gnocchi and they taste FABULOUS!!! And i must say... your hair is so cute that length!!! It looks great on you!!! You should keep it that length. You are too cute for words any way! 💚💜💚 And I just cannot do oatmeal. The texture just does not appeal to me. I don't eat any hot cereals. Just me. Lol.
If you boil the sweet potatoes whole the skin will slide right off ❤ I love your channel!
Excellent!
Pronounce it No -key. Easy Peezy. Love your budget videos.
