i must be one of your original sub's tessie. i came here when prepper princess directed me to you, here. so blessed. please, please, please, do a series on your get-out-of-debt frugal meals. we need them. i am in canada. it is terrible here. i am on a fixed income, decent, as i worked for the post office for 30 years, but even with that, it is getting more and more difficult for me, and for us all. you give me/us hope, as i sit here in tears, for better outcomes for all of us. ty.
Yes, I agree! Please don't worry and cry, things will be alright if you just focus on spending a lot less and being thankful. I do it daily and believe it or not, it is working

ty andrea. lump in throat, and ters again. ty. @@pr9764
thank you my friend This was the 4th video ,I been making videos on what we ate getting out of debt :)
I don’t even par boil the lasagna noodles if they’re the “not oven ready” type, I just pour a little water into each corner of the pan or baking dish before putting it in the oven to bake. The noodles absorb the water while baking and they’re just fine. I will take every short cut I can find😁
WS that is a good tip thank you 👍😃
I bought cottage cheese and I have hamburger and mozzarella and parmesan cheese in the freezer. I found lasagna noodles in my long term storage so I plan to make lasagna next weekend when my friend comes. Its one of her favorites.
Hey Marybeth, it's one of my favorite foods also. Have a blessed weekend 👋😃💙🙏
Have a good labor day@@pellis6928
Good Evening Tessie, Sisters, Brother's and Friends, Be sure to hit that like button Tessie will appreciate it greatly also be sure to watch all the ads :-)
Good Evening Owen 🤚
Who Loves Tessie time :-)
ALWAYS ❤️
All the time!
My whole family knows that when it turns 6 pm it's time for Tessie! Love Tessie time 😊❤
💚👍
Me too💙
As long as you cover the “regular “ lasagna noodles with sauce, you can use them without cooking first! I learned this hack years ago and it works great every time
Love your channel Tessie❤
This looks so good, Tessie! I probably told you before, I don't eat grains or sugar. Even so, your recipes look delicious! I have often chopped up an eggplant and mushrooms and sauteed that in place of meat. It's pretty good! And I often make noodles from egg, mozzarella cheese and greek yogurt. Or I just use zucchini sliced lengthwise. It doesn't cost that much when I can find the ingredients on sale (but we know how expensive eggs are, if we don't have a resource for those!)
Thank you for your great tips and tricks. It's fun watching your channel
Tessie, your lasagna looked amazing. Thank you for sharing these wonderful, frugal meals/recipes with us. 😊
I love lasagna. The old time recipes are the best! Have a great evening everyone!
Hope That You Have A Great Evening Too Julie 🙂
You too, julie!
Hey Tessie, this recipe is a keeper for sure. Anything that has noodles in it I don't have to have the meat to enjoy it. Thank you for this frugal and easy meal (cheap and lazy for me lol.) Enjoyed this video tonight my sisterfriend and I will see you again tomorrow night 🤗💙🙏🕊
You Are Anything But Lazy P Ellis 🌻,
You Are Always On The Go Helping Others Dear Friend,
Hope You Can Rest Today And Have A Great Sunday And MaybeWatchThe Andy Griffith Show!!☺️,
Blessings To You Pam,

If your brown sugar gets hard, put a slice of bread in the container and it will get soft again and the bread will get hard! The moisture in the bread is what softens the sugar! Then remove the bread. ( I used the "heel" or the end of the bread) God Bless!
Wonderful to hear that your channel is growing!
You can use cooked lentils instead of hamburger in most recipes. Cheap and much healthier, no fat.
I have been teaching my adult son to cook. Showing him how the "sausage" is made has blown his mind. So many things he thought he knew he was eating lol. He doesn't like cabbage or lentils but, I bulk recipes out with both those ingredients and he never realized it😂
You look so comfortable in your beautiful kitchen!
Looks yummy!! I have also used the zucchini sliced lengthwise in place of the noodles in lasanga. Thanks for your videos!
Mary that is a great idea I have not heard before. Thanks for that tip👍😃
great idea, I think I want to try that. Love zucchini....
Mary I have sliced them with a vegetable peeler to make them thinner & the zucchini absorbs the taste of the sauce & spices! It’s delicious!!
Looks so good.
Happy fathers day dads❤❤
Tess, that looked really good!
Tessie you don't need to boil noodles I just add a jar of water along with the sauce an bake about 45 min. to an hour till it's bubbly.❤
Hi Tessie, try putting the dry herbs into the sauce and not on top. Dry herbs need liquid and heat to infuse the flavor. I dont know if you have ever tried pumpkin lasangna. It is cooked and pureed pumpkin with garlic (generous amount) and thyme, salt and pepper/chili with cream cheese/ cottage cheese and feta cheese, sometimes we put zuchini slices in it too (no tomatoes in the dish) . It is usually meat free, but minced meats or slices work too. it is topped with shedded cheese of your choice. If you use dry lasagna sheets, then add some liquid to the pumkin and to the cheese mixture. 🐸
Oh Tessie, save me a taste for Sunday! Nice work 💚
Great looking meal Tessie :-)
That is looking a great meal to me :) Zucchini is a vegetable I would recommend for a poor man's garden. You can do quite a lot with them, they are versatile. A few plants and you have plent for a whole year. Back in the day (almost 30 years ago) I wanted to try them out in the garden. My father and grandfather never had them on their gardens, and I thought.. 'well they are famil of the cucumber, so 11 plants should do the job'. Later on I read somewhere what a single plant could produce.. I can tell you that my whole neighbourhood had zucchinis even more than they needed LOL
Theo how do you save them for later in the year? If you can them do you add any spice or just plain? 🤔
That's hilarious because that's what my mom did too back in the '70s. She planted a row and she grated it up and froze it. What she couldn't give away. Lol. We had fried zucchini, zucchini bread, zucchini in everything. Thank you for bringing back a hilarious memory. PS: I don't plant zucchini because I got my fill then!! Lol I plant cucumbers.
Hi Pam, you can blanch them when theyy are sliced and put them in the freezer. Or use them in meals and freeze those. When I can them I like them spiced with onions (Musterd seed, turmeric, dill seed, bay leaf and juniper)
Maybe I should try zucchini. I tried eggplant and peppers but neither grew.
All I can do is pots since all I rent & just have a little patio.
@@xXTheoLinuxXx thank you for the ideas. Next year I will plant maybe 2 or 3 plants in containers and see what happens.👍😉
Lentils will also provide some 'bite' versus or in addition to meat...and/or consider mushrooms. Otherwise, I have made a 'clean out the fridge lasagna---anything with pasta, sauce and cheese is generally amazing if you are hungry enough.
I've used regular lasagna noodles to make it before, I just made sure I used extra sauce for the noodles to soak up & it came out great.
I didn't know you can vacuum seal and save brown sugar! Very good info.
wow thank you !!!!! you sure do treat me kindly !!
that looks great
Oh, God, you saved me a lot of research. I love, love, love your channel. We are both returning and home. I’m on disability from the career I worked so hard to accomplish and after 25 years I was far from retirement but disabled out. My heart is on SS and receives a small pension after 30 years. I struggle to get a balanced meal on the table but can usually come close. I planted 3 tomatoes this year in buckets and got 5 tomatoes. They split on the vine and never got green enough on the vine so I picked those and they rotted. Kansas is having a bad year for tomatoes and peppers. I did get 3 nice peppers but that was it. I’ll plant more flowers next year to bring in more bees. Please keep doing these kinds of videos so I can learn more. Love and Hugs. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much !!
Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends:-) Wish you all a wonderful blessed Sunday filled with Gods Joy and Happiness :-) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world :-) God Bless You ! Love you all :-) Keep smiling be safe :-)
Enjoy watching all of your videos. I use whatever I have on hand. The zucchini instead of noodles really tastes 😃
Tessie, thanks for sharing this recipe. I'm looking forward to all the recipes to come that you will share! Lots of folks are having hard times and frugal but tasty and filling comfort meals are what we need. I've been watching you for the last 5 years and have gleaned so much knowledge from your videos. THANKS FOR SHARING AND JUST BEING YOU! Your channel is a blessing to so many! As long as you make videos I will keep watching! GOD BLESS YOU AND KEN.❤
Thank you so much !!
You are good people Tessie!
Finally on time! Excited for the lasagna recipe ❤❤❤
Hello Tami :)
Hi Tami 🙂
hey tami :-)
Hey Tami👋💙🙏😃
🛑🆗🛑
FYI people
If you have regular lasagna noodles
You can skip the parboiling by soaking them in hot water!
They become like the more expensive oven teady noodles!
Great especially when its really hot outside and you don't want water boiling and saves on fuel to! 😁
PS
You do need a bit more liquid eith these as they need to cook further so thining out your sause works just fine.
Hey Tessie and all my H.T. Family and Friends and New Subscribers on here tonight👋😃💙🙏
Hey pellis have yourself a great evening!
Hello my buddy from the past :)
Hey pellis, Good to see ya :-)
hey p ellis , always good to see you :-)
Hey P Ellis,
Good To See You Dear Friend,

Oh yum! great video with minimal $$$$ spent and packed with flavour nutrition! 🐾🥰
Thank you so much !!
Love you my sister, God Bless You and Ken :-)
Love your cooking videos, and it looked soooo good.😋Thank you Tessie. 💖
🐯 Zucchini Lasagna is very good. We use to cut it longways and use Zucchini instead of noodles.Any way you do it. It is good and cheap
Hello Deborah :)
Hi, Tessie! That lasagna must have been amazing. I have some things I need to repackage and store-thanks for the reminder!
Great tips! I needed a gentle voice & simple living video today💞 Thank you Tessie 😊
Love you so much !!
Looks yummy!
I just love you Tessie..... You such a good girl
I have never cooked my lasagna noodles, I figure the sauce cooks them in the oven. I will try it your way, I like zucchini. Thank you for the video and the recipe.
Hi y’all 😊
Hey tami❤
Hi Tami
Hi tami :-)
Hi Tami 🤚
Hello, tami!
Looks very good
It is amazing how much you can do in cooking. Who you can help with reduce cost cooking. Folks, they'll never know that this dish was because you're on a budget or the word, poor. Yummy :-)
That looks delicious I’ve also made things like this as well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good Saturday evening, dear Tessie!
Aren't we all supposed to look very disgruntled and unhappy when we're cooking meals for the purpose of getting out of debt? 😀 LOL! Isn't it supposed to be all about "blame and shame"? Aren't the recipes supposed involve layering soda crackers with swamp water and grass clippings? LOL!
I'm so glad to see that happy smile on your face! As you have said all along, frugal living and preparing for events that we hope won't happen (but just possibly might) don't have to be done in a joyless, fearful way/attitude! And you're living proof of that!
If you served this yummy looking lasagna to guests and didn't say a word about the fact that it was extremely low cost, I would bet that they would never figure that out! It just looks like a really creative version of an old Italian classic dish. (And I would never tell! 🙂)
I know I've mentioned this before, but I often think of your wonderful channel as "Frugality Without Tears." And I still believe that! Living simply really can be done with a joyful spirit, and you and Kenny are living proof of that!
Blessings to all! 😀
I Loved That Kes-- " Layering Soda Crackers, Swamp Water And Grass Clippings!"-- Only You Could Have Thought Of That☺️
I Find Tessies Genuine Happiness And Smile An Encouragement To Try New Recipes!
I Love Zucchini/Courgette So I Am Going To Give This A Try.
Great To See You Here Dear Sister
GOD Bless
Andrea
kes, You said it best Tessie always does it with a smile :-)
@@owen4248 You Summed It Up In One Line Owen-- Brilliant 😀
Blessings
Andrea
Hey Kes my PAL... 😂 you have me laughing now, swamp water and grass clippings lol. That title is perfect "frugality without tears" Tessie should grab that title and run with it because I don't think anyone else is using it on their frugal channels ( that I've seen anyway). Awsome W.O.W.s with the famous Kes humor from the Qween herself. Love it!!. 👍🤣💙🙏🕊
@@pr9764 Bless you for appreciating my sometimes very silly sense of humor, dear Andrea! Like you, I enjoy Tessie's happiness and smile. Those are most needed when times are the most difficult, I believe, and that is truly one of her gifts.
I love zucchini as well, and this time of year they're (fortunately) plentiful. I'd love to try this as well. But I did make some lentil soup yesterday (very frugal as well!) and I'll need to finish that before I undertake a new project.
I'm told that lentils are heart-healthy because of the magnesium that they contain. But they also do taste good -- a nice "fringe benefit!"
Wishing you a peaceful and pleasant Sunday, dear Sister!
Looks fabulous!
Looks great. God bless.
Hi Tessie I actually would prefer the zucchini instead of hamburger meat in my lasagna. I have made it before with zucchini and a friend came over and ate supper with me and loved it. I made a yellow squash and hamburger casserole this week. It was so good! Great advice Tessie about making veggie lasagna! I am thankful for you and your advice. I am now hungry and it is 3:58am in the morning. Lol lol. God Bless!
Congratulations because you now have over 95,000 subscribers! God is going to keep blessing you!!!!
Hi Sandra, I Love Veggies In Meals Instead Of Red Meat Too (Healthy And Keeps The Price Down!)
Good To See You Sandra,
Blessings To You And Your Hubby

Nice affordable meal Tessie. Great job.
That brown sugar was impressive. God Bless!
That looks delicious Tessie! Yum, I’m going to try that for sure! Thank you for sharing!❤
Now that looks yummy! Thanks for sharing Tessie.
looks great
When I make my lasagna, I use the regular noodles and I don’t boil them. I just layer them with sauce. I shred my zucchini and do a whole layer of just zucchini shred it up and when it cooks it’s like almost having a meet later.
Here watching, your home is sooo beautiful ❤❤
I'm going to make this, this week!
Good morning, Ms. Tessie. I sure do miss the traditional lasagna dish. Ten years ago, I became allergic to tomatoes. I do change all my recipes around, and while the food is good, it doesn't taste like the original recipe. Live you vlogs 🤎.
Inspiring, book girl friend!
Good evening Tessie and friends

That spaghetti sauce, tyfs hugs look so yummy
Hummmmm looks good will give it a try my friend a cheap easy meal I believe the grandkids will like. I use zucchini in the place of some pastas. Right now I'm doing the no spend month using what I have the odd and end stuff learned it from you my friend. God Bless much love for you and ken
Looks great miss Tessie!!!
The link, to Tessie's website, goes to one for shoes, fyi.
Thank you. Looks yummy. 🙏🙏🙏
I love zucchini! I have quite a lot of it and need to figure out how to cook it. I have plenty of cook books to look through. Our friend also likes zucchini. She may take some from us as well. I want to try the lasagna made with zucchini too. ❤😊
I love zucchini in my lasagna. You put all of that sauce in... yum. I always have to have a lot of sauce in my pasta. great video.
Tess I enjoy watching you. You have such a sweet heart. ❤️❤️
Thank you for Such Kind words, You are a beautiful person and your comment to me Blessed me so much!
Hey Tessie , I store my brown sugar in a big zip lock bag and put a one slice of white bread in the bag with the brown sugar. and the sugar never gets hard. have you ever tried that or do you have another way? cheers!
Hey cream-curd, I do the same thing with my brown sugar and I keep the bag in the refrigerator. I'm wondering now if the piece of bread will mold because I've had it in there for almost a year and sugar is soft but I have not thought about replacing the bread until tonight. Now I'm afraid to use it lol 😃
hey Tessie , mine never molds but i have forgot about it and the sugar is still soft but the bread gets hard. but never mold . cheers!@@pellis6928
@@pellis6928if the bread doesn’t have mold on it, it’s fine!
@@wandafaulk3641 I hope you are right Wanda... But what would keep it from molding like bread even when I store it in the refrigerator to long it grows mold?🤔 maybe the sugar has something in it to kill mold on bread😃
Oh yummy! I've never used the zucchini in mine but have many times used eggplant in place of the noodles. The kids could not tell the difference. Have a blessed day friend
Hi Tessie ❤
I’m making this lasagna tommorrow and putting it in two containers. 1 to eat and 1 to freeze. Now that all three girls are working and going to school having a meal we already have ready to go is great. ❤❤❤

Hello and happy Saturday Andrea@@pr9764
I can't remember , did you do a lemon rind and vinegar soak to be used as all purpose cleaner (after soaking for 8 to 16 wks at least), when it's ready how many parts solution do you use with water?
I do I use half and half
Thank you
Looks really yummy Tessie ❤😊
Testing you look marvelous!
Thank you so much !!
Tess my mom made something similar to this but she used both zucchini and squash no noodles but made it like lasagna with meat sauce and cheese. You can make farmers cheese and use like ricotta. Looks delicious.
I like cutting my zucchini longways and using it as a lasagna noodle. I actually love it more then the regular lasagna noodles.
Hi everyone 🙂
Hi There Linda 🙂
I'd like to try this since my favorite type of lasagna is vegetable lasagna. I'd only make a small one because I'm the only one who would eat it in my house. I haven't watched in a while, so I'm catching up and binge watching today. Loving the new direction your channel is going with going back to the 1800's type of life.
Tessie, do you have a cookbook with your recipes to sell?
not yet !
Yummy!
♥️👍
Yum. That looks delicious. Have you ever tried using eggplant instead of zucchini? I like to cut long thin slices to layer. I love vegetable lasagna...I think I know what I'm having for dinner tomorrow!
