PS I think Dusty is man enough to tell Brooke if there wasn't enough food. Stop being mean and just give respect for what they are... an AWESOME FAMILY.
She is not starving her family! If they want seconds, it is there for them to come back. What she is doing is teaching them portion sizes. I know, I fed a LOT of kids in my time. Teaching portions is important as some of the kids I worked with came out of food insecurity and I had to teach them that hoarding food is NOT ok and if they are hungry just ask for more.
Agreed and I don't even know this beautiful momma personally. You can tell her humans aren't starving. Her, her children, and hubby all look healthy and strong. What the heck do ppl want?!? Her force feeding them so they become obese like over half of the world's population? Brooke you are a great momma, please don't let anyone make believe or think any different. Love front Delavan Illinois
Some people will complain about everything! You can tell her children are well feed! Probably someone who has never taken good care of a child, they make me sick
Haha 😂 your husband is awesome!! Most men probably don’t watch her so I am loving how he is supporting her channel while also supporting his wife and family on feeding good food on a budget ❤
Brooke, here in the UK those portion sizes would be perfect. Do not listen to the negative Nellies. Your boys are not obese and not skinny either. Well done for feeding your family healthy portion sizes
I just found your channel because the video I first saw said "poor" and that caught my eye as I grew up "poor" but never felt poor till bullies at school called me names. But your videos show me how wealthy we were in love and sibling fun. 💖👏👏👏👏😋💞
You’re such a doll for doing all this. I’m 74 year old grandma(Mimi) and great grandma. Continue with portion control. You have taught your boys how to eat. That’s an accomplishment in itself. May God bless you and your family. Be ready for His coming.
“Normal size Portions” is something that in the United States we’ve gotten so far away from. If people were served a normal portion when they went out to eat no one would go out to eat here. Looks great Brooke
Don't ever be sorry to take care of yourself. You are the most important person to take care of your family. That means, you have to be healthy and happy. Love your channel. I'm 75, but you still teaching me new things.
My daughter is obsessed with your youngest son! She wants to see him in every video. I said "Do you want him to be your boyfriend?" She said yes. 🤦🏼♀️ She's 6. Love your videos, Mama!
Anyone who’s been watching your channel for a while can tell you’re not starving your kids - look at how TALL Ryder is getting!!! And you Dusty and the boys all look healthy!! I was a single parent for 15 years and had some lean times and faced food insecurity often. I still try to watch my spending on food as a single person and you give so many great ideas on how to stay on budget! Thank you!
A little tip I learned from HelloFresh is that pasta water will help to thicken what you're making if you use that instead of plain water. Also pasta water and butter will make like a little sauce so it kinda thickens up whatever you're making too.
Brooke you don't need to apologize to anyone, your husband and boys are healthy and happy, That's all that matters! We (my mom and I) watch your videos all the time, and your happiness, positive attitude and sweet family bring us joy. Just keep doing what you have been and ignore the nay sayers!!!❤
I love your video's. I too have had a budget to use for food. I'm not going to tell you my age but when I first got married a box of mac & cheese was 3 for a dollar. Two money saving things I've done from time to time are: 1= when your having mashed potatoes when you peal your taters take a tad more tater off with your peal and the next night fry up the peals. They are really good. 2= I buy my ground meat in 3 or 5 pound rolls. Brown your ground meat (the whole roll) and then add cooked brown lentils to the ground meat before you bag it up for the freezer. You can increase your ground meat by at least one or two pounds. When you need ground meat you just remove one of the packages and pop it in the microwave and thaw. Wa-la you have cooked ground meat for your recipe. Love your new hair cut.
Brooke please try not to let the hateful comments bother you we can see you children are growing like weeds they definitely are not going hungry and why would anyone need 3 plates of food thats crazy 😂you just keep doing what you are doing ❤❤❤God has Blessed you with a heart of gold just continue letting the Lord guide that beautiful heart and spirit you have❤i love your channel and enjoy those sweet boys of yours.God Bless ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Tonight I made a meatless supper for my 93 great aunt and myself..I made pasta Primavera..using up veggies from the fridge that needed using ,and my aunt had some peppers and summer squash she was gifted..I didn't use penne pasta l8ke you're supposed to ,I used wide egg noodles...it was delicious and it was a no spend meal ,using what we had
Brook, love you girl. When people dont have a lot of $$ they can't buy a lot of food. You showed us how to eat well on a little bit of $$. I remember growing up (I'm 76 now) my wonderful Mom would a lot of times only eat a little bit and say she was full. Being kids, we didn't pay attention. After my kids came along, i realized why. If you dont have $$ you have smaller portions. You have helped a lot of people by showing how you can prepare good, healthy food on a small budget. There isn't always going to be massive amounts of food. You are doing a good service, and it is appreciated. As the amount of $$ goes up the portions get bigger. Haters, go back to your corners.
The people saying she’s starving her family probably eat way to much by putting too much food on their plate. Other countries don’t eat as much as we do in the USA 🇺🇸. Especially in restaurants. Restaurant meals are half the size of ours. Americans eat way too much food of meals.
@@rhondareese1607 My partner is English with a home on Crete. I’ve been to Europe and couldn’t agree more. I think it’s why I don’t understand the comments people make.
Great video! As a Mexican, I am so impressed to see you make tortilla chips, enfrijoladas (yes you pronounced it correctly) and rice. You go girl! Love your cute summer hair cut and color. Thanks for sharing
My husband loves meatloaf sandwiches 🥪 but the crazy guy puts mustard on them! 😅 Brooke, you do what your family needs, don’t worry about people who think that they way you feed your family is wrong. It’s not! Dusty and the boys look perfectly happy and healthy.
I made a thanksgiving meat loaf,I used ground turkey,the eggs and stuffing mix for the bread crumbs,some herbs and spices,and a cranberry sauce glaze with some turkey gravy,it was very good!
I watched both part one and two. They are a masterclass in budget cooking. Well-organized, comprehensive, smart and creative. You showed how to source, create and stretch. Your delivery and presence are very watchable. You have a future in this. You have also shown America it can be done and no one should have to spend a lot on food to eat well.
Girl you are a hoot😅,so glad i found this channel,this channel is a God sent with so many people trying to make ends meet in this economy, i think you have the cutest taste testing panel judges ever 😂❤
The people that make comments about your family not eating enough. I? Wonder if they even have a family of their own children et cetera you are doing? A fabulous job with your family I love it
A easy recipe we like is chicken breast, taco season pack, ranch season pack and cook in a crock pot. Then shred finely and have corn tortillas to make tacos and any fixings everyone likes for em.
Congrats on 38,000!!! The English cucumber is in cellophane because the rind is thin and the cellophane protects the cucumber and extends their life. I bought that Tomato bouillion and am looking forward to your Mexican rice.
I felt like I needed to share this with you. I only recently found your channel but it couldn't have been a more perfect time. Everything is so expensive but the food bill is outrageous!! Thank you for making theseMy daughter and I were watching some of your videos and I told her she could choose our 3 meals from your videos. We are currently eating your cream cheese and preserve sandwiches. Theyre delicious! Were doing asian wraps for lunch & for dinner she asked for your poor man beef and broccoli 🥦! Well wishes from my family to yours 🎉
"Oh, Hi Mark" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Glad I'm not the only Mom who says that. My kiddo's think it's cringy if I quote their vines 😂. Made your frugal beef & broccoli recipe the other day, & it was SO GOOD!! My oldest son who doesn't like rice had 2 helpings, & my husband who doesn't like broccoli or oriental food, had 2 helpings as well 😋. I love trying new & easy recipes. So THANK you!
😁. Glad we're in the "Oh, Hi Mark" club 😂👏. There's probably not very many of us 🤷. I am definitely trying the toast with cream cheese and strawberries for sure, though I may make it into French toast with those exact toppings 🤤.
I love you, Brooke! The meal portions were great. This channel is great for anyone who loves to save $$$. Never apologize for real life. May God bless you today and always, Brooke & Co.! xoxo
11:46 holy moly finally someone else who doesn't like their pb mixed with their jelly. I have lived 33 years thinking I was the only one. Love your videos girl.
Love chicken chili!!! I want to give a shout out to Kylen. My 6 yr old granddaughter (Allisyn) is a very picky eater. She was watching a few of your videos with me and saw Kylen trying what you made. She was very impressed with his way of showing it was good. Because of Kylen, Allisyn has started trying new foods. I made spam fried rice and she ate it. She gave it 2 thumbs up, but didn't pass out. Kylen.....THANK YOU!!! Oh and Allisyn has a crush on you.
white chicken chili for the win fainted and everything lol I have been watching for awhile you are not starving any one folks need to reach out to the less fortunate they will understand then starving and hopefully then donate to the blessing boxes and soup kitchens and food banks . Peanut Butter toast is my breakfast I eat heading to work I am like you guys stomach has never loved early morning eating. Honey never sweat the small stuff sometimes cameras do not get touched we are all good you share so much of your beautiful life all is good we will never satisfy everyone your true fans are here always and very grateful for all you do for us.
I loved the boys faces when they went to taste the cheese quesadillas in the refried beans. You could tell they were excited, it was a favorite, and they already knew they would love it. You're a good Momma, Brooke! You always inspire me ❤
My son would only eat raw veggies. As long as they eat them who cares! Good job, Ky! Trying new foods is good for your body!! You should be very proud of yourself ❤️
Leftover tomato paste freezes great! Put it in a ziploc bag and lay it flat in the freezer. It will defrost so quickly that you can it to your pan still frozen.
Your family is very healthy. They do not look like malnutrition. Such a beautiful sweet family. Stop worrying about negative comments. Your family is loved. I eat peanut butter toast with honey all the time for breakfast. Kylen and I are soul mates with grilled peanut butter sandwiches. My dad loves grilled meatloaf sandwiches.
You have a great family!!! You feed your kids the right amount. If they were hungry they would eat. If you made a cookbook you would sell it out! The meatloaf looks amazing! You make me hungry..
I laughed when you asked if he had enough because people thought you weren't feeding them enough! lol Way to go, Dusty "we eat good!" I know I sometimes look at the initial plate and wonder, but then brush it off as just your plating. There's nothing wrong with starting with a smaller plate and going back for more if you're not satisfied.
Hello Brooke! I am a rather new subscriber and I love your channel! I am housebound and you and your family make me smile and laugh! I am usually in my nightgown! Keep being real! Peace & Blessings!!
I applaud you for feeding your family VERY well on a budget… especially growing boys…lol You are creative with what you have to work with. I enjoyed watching!
The English cucumbers are sealed in plastic wrap because the peeling is soft and edible and it protects it from getting damaged. The other cucumbers have a thicker tough skin/peeling.
What I find amazing is that she can feed 2 male teens on her budgets! My granddaughter and her friend zoomed through 200.00 worth of food in a day and a half! I was expecting that food to last all week! I cannot even imagine trying to feed 2 growing young men today, much less on a tight budget! Brooke, you are truly amazing❣️❣️
Really nice job, 48:38 Brooke. I’m glad you’re feeling better but I want you to know I miss you doing your videos every day. You brighten up my day and you’re so young to be so wise. Love your channel. ❤❤❤
Alot ppl had food insecurities, and 4 u show how 2 feed our family good food with out breaking the bank. LOVE 2 U AND UR AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. ❤❤❤❤❤
Aldi’s Italian Dressing is the best. If you like the Pizza Hut Creamy Italian, use it & add mayo. I use Hellman’s. My family loves it. If you remember, Pizza Hut used to have sandwiches. My favorite was a toasted Italian sandwich. I make them at home. The bare basic sandwich uses lunch meat ham & salami, mozzarella or any white cheese & creamy Italian dressing. Put ham, salami & cheese on bread. Then toast it, grill it or bake it. Add creamy Italian & TahDah. I usually add lettuce & tomato. If I’m feeling fancy I add different cheeses & meats or buy deli meat & hard salami. Fried Bologna & creamy Italian dressing is pretty good in a pinch.
I'm hearing people think you don't eat enough, and I confess I thought that too, until this show. I realized maybe I'm just eating too much. Thank you for showing us proper portions. Be blessed
I put jelly in my crepes. Our favorite is lindenberry which is Swedish. I also heat up different kinds of jelly or jam to make hot syrup for pancakes when I want to serve something special. Grape jelly omelets rolled up with the jelly inside are delicious too.
Brooke, I really enjoy your channel. I have learned so much from you. New recipes and ideas on what I have available in my pantry from what you have made. I also enjoy your shopping on a budget videos, since groceries are more expensive now. You feed your family decent size portions. Never mind the people that say you don’t. You seem to always have leftovers for lunch the next day, and if the boys were hungry, they could/would eat that for dinner. I know you know your family and their portion needs, and you make things accordingly. Keep doing what you do.
You are a literal godsend. I love your channel. Any time I feel stressed about our budget or groceries I come to your channel and find inspiration and immediately feel back in control and comfortable and ready to feed my family while still reaching our financial goals. Thank you so much for your hard work and your creativity. Love love love your channel.
I gotta try that creamy veggie soup! That would be an awesome "meatless" meal to add to my list! I would've never thought to have hush puppies with it! Thank you so much for all the hard work & love you put into your videos! ❤ We notice it & appreciate it very much!
First, never apologize for video timing. You have a life, and a family, those who don't understand that can just...well....you know, lol. Also, your hair is CUTE!!! I have to do a clip on top, and one in back so it doesn't fall, lol. Salsa verde is my fave salsa. I just use salsa/chicken in crockpot to make chicken tacos (cook and shred). Great video,!! Adore you and your boys :)
your boys are the sweetest! Such a blessing to you and your husband! I think this is one of the better videos on food savings . I grew up always being fed, but probably not the healthiest lol
Yes when a person experiences something they don’t want others to experience it. I always love watching your channel for ideas for me. I usually always get stuck in a rut with my meals. I love ve that you have so much leftover for the next week that a person can build off with their next week’s budget.
Omg!!! I love that soup from the Dixie Stampede!! We love going to the smokies during autumn and that is always on the itinerary as well as Dollywood!! I love Dolly too Brooke!!!❤❤❤
I just have to say that i absolutely adore your channel and that you have become one ofy favorite channels to watch these days. You come up with some very creative ways to make amazing meals on very little money. I started watching cooking channels to give me some new ideas, but they tend to make things with lots of ingredients that i don't typically keep in my pantry. You on the otherhandare showing me different ways to use stuff i already ave and typically buy. Thank you!
I know this is an older video(I just found your TH-cam channel a few weeks ago), but I think you are such a positive person and I love your videos, you do a lot of the same cooking as my mom did when I was growing up. I have followed after her in my cooking for my family. It’s the simple ways and unplanned meals that make everything taste so much better. I look forward to seeing more of your family enjoying your food, stay positive! 🙂
Tell Ryder and Braydon that the tortilla chips dipped in the refried beans and then the hot Mexican rice is delicious! 😋 I am so happy you're feeling better❤
The discovery of using green chiles instead of jalapenos has been a huge game changer for me. They're often part of my $5 stock challenge. Cannot wait to try the white chicken chili with them.
OMG! Brooke! I'm so glad y'all loved the white chicken chili! Kylen's reaction is precious! Love it!
Everybody go check out Mandy’s Channel!!!! ⬆️
Mandy, a lot of people have liked this recipe. See Mindy Mom also did this recipe!
Thanks for the recipe Mandy. I often forget about white chicken chili and how good it is.
I'm going to try this
I need to add this to my list of must try dishes. If two of my favorite TH-cam creators say it’s good then it’s gotta be awesome.
PS I think Dusty is man enough to tell Brooke if there wasn't enough food. Stop being mean and just give respect for what they are... an AWESOME FAMILY.

Thank you for this! I have always thought it was so so important to teach proper portion sizes. So they see it as normal.
Many people over eat portions. Your family eats proper portions.
Agreed and I don't even know this beautiful momma personally. You can tell her humans aren't starving. Her, her children, and hubby all look healthy and strong. What the heck do ppl want?!? Her force feeding them so they become obese like over half of the world's population? Brooke you are a great momma, please don't let anyone make believe or think any different. Love front Delavan Illinois
I don't know why people are complaining about portion sizes. Her boys appear healthy and normal weight - so she's doing something right.
Some people will complain about everything! You can tell her children are well feed! Probably someone who has never taken good care of a child, they make me sick
This lady is feeding her family the way I ate as a kid growing up in the 60s and 70s. We didn’t eat humongous servings. Good on this mom!
I remember having mayonnaise sandwiches for dinner ❤
@@joanczarra-jn8ov Well you are exactly right about that. She does Not cook from scratch. I prefer the Hillbilly Kitchen way.
My hubby calls you his girl, he watches you with me. You're the reason I got a instant pot for my birthday! Thanks Brooke for being so real and sweet.
Haha 😂 your husband is awesome!! Most men probably don’t watch her so I am loving how he is supporting her channel while also supporting his wife and family on feeding good food on a budget ❤
Lol My husband seen me watching 1 of her videos and now my birthday is August 11th and thanks to Brooke I'm getting 1 to for my birthday yayyy haha..

Strawberry cheesecake brioche toast? On a budget? Oh baby!
I've said this before, but when I watch your videos I genuinely feel like I'm hanging out in the kitchen with my bestie. ❤
I agree. It so nice to just watch these videos. It is comforting. And I’ve gotten some great meal ideas.
I love it that she calls her subscribers besties. Makes me feel so welcome and lucky to have someone so kind. Too watch.

I love that your kids are not picky.....
Brook, love you girl. When people dont have a lot of $$ they can't buy a lot of food. You showed us how to eat well on a little bit of $$. I remember growing up (I'm 76 now) my wonderful Mom would a lot of times only eat a little bit and say she was full. Being kids, we didn't pay attention. After my kids came along, i realized why.

It’s ridiculous that people comment that your kids are starving 🤣 They look perfectly healthy to me!
You’re doing a great job, Mama!
The people saying she’s starving her family probably eat way to much by putting too much food on their plate. Other countries don’t eat as much as we do in the USA 🇺🇸. Especially in restaurants. Restaurant meals are half the size of ours. Americans eat way too much food of meals.
@@rhondareese1607 My partner is English with a home on Crete. I’ve been to Europe and couldn’t agree more.
I think it’s why I don’t understand the comments people make.
You could do a whole series on portion control, look around you in public- obese, over fed people. Your portions are perfect!
Great video! As a Mexican, I am so impressed to see you make tortilla chips, enfrijoladas (yes you pronounced it correctly) and rice. You go girl! Love your cute summer hair cut and color. Thanks for sharing
I made, southern cook here, white beans w turnip greens and ham hock and discovered on google that it's also Hispanic, caldo Gallego!
My husband loves meatloaf sandwiches 🥪 but the crazy guy puts mustard on them! 😅 Brooke, you do what your family needs, don’t worry about people who think that they way you feed your family is wrong. It’s not! Dusty and the boys look perfectly happy and healthy.
What’s crazy about mustard on a meatloaf sandwich?😄 Tell hubby he has good taste. ❤️🇨🇦
That's what my hubby puts on EVERY sandwich! 😂
I love meatloaf sandwich with ketchup.. yummy!
I made a thanksgiving meat loaf,I used ground turkey,the eggs and stuffing mix for the bread crumbs,some herbs and spices,and a cranberry sauce glaze with some turkey gravy,it was very good!

The best ones to ask if they are hungry are the boys.
38k is just the beginning. You are definitely going to hit that million. You and your family are loved and admired for all you share. God Bless. 💖
A easy recipe we like is chicken breast, taco season pack, ranch season pack and cook in a crock pot. Then shred finely and have corn tortillas to make tacos and any fixings everyone likes for em.
Yep we always had a 2 bite rule in our house, you don't have to like it but you have to have 2 bites and over time they might change their mind.
I do the same thing with my kids. You’re so right, taste buds change more often than people think, they might like it next time.
Portion sizes are out of control in America, you serve your family nice size portions, you are a great cook, keep up the awesome Job!!👏👏
Kylen passing out just makes me smile everytime💛
Me too ❤
Me three.
I Love when He say I don't know let's find out❤
That dixie soup stuff looks so good i would have topped it with bacon crumbled up or bacon bits .. mmmm...this just makes me so hungry hahaha... 😂😂😂
I like to put a couple spoon fulls of sugar on my strawberries the night before and they make a thin sugar syrup love your idea thank you 😊
I love oranges and put a sprinkle of salt then few shakes of cinnamon and brown sugar. It’s good on strawberries too. Salt brings out sweetness.

Thank you! I'm always afraid to mix recipes with rice cooker and stove top! Knowing the rice cup is 3/4 of a cup is great!

Honey never sweat the small stuff sometimes cameras do not get touched we are all good you share so much of your beautiful life all is good we will never satisfy everyone your true fans are here always and very grateful for all you do for us.
I loved the boys faces when they went to taste the cheese quesadillas in the refried beans. You could tell they were excited, it was a favorite, and they already knew they would love it. You're a good Momma, Brooke! You always inspire me ❤
I have been watching the clock all morning for this video!! I was having withdrawals. 🤣🤣
My son would only eat raw veggies. As long as they eat them who cares!
Good job, Ky! Trying new foods is good for your body!! You should be very proud of yourself ❤️
The soups you showed at 17:47 looks sooo delicious.
Leftover tomato paste freezes great! Put it in a ziploc bag and lay it flat in the freezer. It will defrost so quickly that you can it to your pan still frozen.
Genius! I’ll forever do it this way now!
I would love to see how you make your homemade tortilla chips. I really enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for always being yourself. ❤
Another great video. No longer feeding a family. This 67 year old, can still learn though. Always, was budget conscious, feeding our 6 children.
Your family is very healthy. They do not look like malnutrition. Such a beautiful sweet family. Stop worrying about negative comments. Your family is loved. I eat peanut butter toast with honey all the time for breakfast. Kylen and I are soul mates with grilled peanut butter sandwiches. My dad loves grilled meatloaf sandwiches.
You have a great family!!! You feed your kids the right amount. If they were hungry they would eat. If you made a cookbook you would sell it out! The meatloaf looks amazing! You make me hungry..
I laughed when you asked if he had enough because people thought you weren't feeding them enough! lol Way to go, Dusty "we eat good!" I know I sometimes look at the initial plate and wonder, but then brush it off as just your plating. There's nothing wrong with starting with a smaller plate and going back for more if you're not satisfied.
Hello Brooke! I am a rather new subscriber and I love your channel! I am housebound and you and your family make me smile and laugh! I am usually in my nightgown! Keep being real! Peace & Blessings!!
I applaud you for feeding your family VERY well on a budget… especially growing boys…lol You are creative with what you have to work with. I enjoyed watching!
The English cucumbers are sealed in plastic wrap because the peeling is soft and edible and it protects it from getting damaged. The other cucumbers have a thicker tough skin/peeling.
What I find amazing is that she can feed 2 male teens on her budgets! My granddaughter and her friend zoomed through 200.00 worth of food in a day and a half! I was expecting that food to last all week! I cannot even imagine trying to feed 2 growing young men today, much less on a tight budget! Brooke, you are truly amazing❣️❣️
Get a handle on that. How old are they? If not children let them buy their own extras
Really nice job, 48:38 Brooke. I’m glad you’re feeling better but I want you to know I miss you doing your videos every day. You brighten up my day and you’re so young to be so wise. Love your channel. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!❤❤❤❤❤
Ms. Brooke this looks amazing. Don't listen to negative people you are serving the perfect portion sizes.
I believe those kind of cucumbers are wrapped because they don't have a wax coating and the other ones do.
I love how excited your family is about your cooking! You can tell in their faces that they can taste the love you put into it when preparing it
We prayed 🙏 for you at me and my bf's Bible study. We ❤️ love and care about you and were worried you had a stomach bug. Huggggs Brooke
"Roll the clip!" LOLOL I love you.
Alot ppl had food insecurities, and 4 u show how 2 feed our family good food with out breaking the bank. LOVE 2 U AND UR AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. ❤❤❤❤❤
Aldi’s Italian Dressing is the best.
If you like the Pizza Hut Creamy Italian, use it & add mayo. I use Hellman’s. My family loves it.
If you remember, Pizza Hut used to have sandwiches. My favorite was a toasted Italian sandwich. I make them at home. The bare basic sandwich uses lunch meat ham & salami, mozzarella or any white cheese & creamy Italian dressing. Put ham, salami & cheese on bread. Then toast it, grill it or bake it. Add creamy Italian & TahDah. I usually add lettuce & tomato. If I’m feeling fancy I add different cheeses & meats or buy deli meat & hard salami.
Fried Bologna & creamy Italian dressing is pretty good in a pinch.
I'm hearing people think you don't eat enough, and I confess I thought that too, until this show. I realized maybe I'm just eating too much. Thank you for showing us proper portions. Be blessed
New sub here, I love watching people shop and cook.
For a little extra too some powdered sugar in the cream cheese also makes a filling for french toast and crepes both
Great idea mine would take that as a treat snack! Cheers
I put jelly in my crepes. Our favorite is lindenberry which is Swedish. I also heat up different kinds of jelly or jam to make hot syrup for pancakes when I want to serve something special. Grape jelly omelets rolled up with the jelly inside are delicious too.
Hey don’t matter what your food looks like don’t worry about that as long as it feeds you and your family that’s what matters
Brooke, I really enjoy your channel. I have learned so much from you. New recipes and ideas on what I have available in my pantry from what you have made. I also enjoy your shopping on a budget videos, since groceries are more expensive now. You feed your family decent size portions. Never mind the people that say you don’t. You seem to always have leftovers for lunch the next day, and if the boys were hungry, they could/would eat that for dinner. I know you know your family and their portion needs, and you make things accordingly. Keep doing what you do.
You are a literal godsend. I love your channel. Any time I feel stressed about our budget or groceries I come to your channel and find inspiration and immediately feel back in control and comfortable and ready to feed my family while still reaching our financial goals. Thank you so much for your hard work and your creativity. Love love love your channel.
❤
I gotta try that creamy veggie soup! That would be an awesome "meatless" meal to add to my list! I would've never thought to have hush puppies with it! Thank you so much for all the hard work & love you put into your videos! ❤ We notice it & appreciate it very much!
Yep I need to add this soup to my list of meals to try.
First, never apologize for video timing. You have a life, and a family, those who don't understand that can just...well....you know, lol. Also, your hair is CUTE!!! I have to do a clip on top, and one in back so it doesn't fall, lol. Salsa verde is my fave salsa. I just use salsa/chicken in crockpot to make chicken tacos (cook and shred). Great video,!! Adore you and your boys :)
Brook I have to say that you make the best dinner lunch and breakfast I've ever seen. I'm tooty the one you ran into at walmart you're the best
your boys are the sweetest! Such a blessing to you and your husband! I think this is one of the better videos on food savings . I grew up always being fed, but probably not the healthiest lol
Drooling but not sure if it's the food or the Pioneer Woman collection. Hello from Atlantic Canada!!
The fried tortilla chips tossed in cinnamon and sugar over ice cream 🍨🍦😋
Oh my...
That potato/veggie soup looks delicious ❤
Have you ever ate peanut butter on your pancakes? It is really good.
Yes when a person experiences something they don’t want others to experience it.
I always love watching your channel for ideas for me. I usually always get stuck in a rut with my meals.
I love ve that you have so much leftover for the next week that a person can build off with their next week’s budget.
Omg!!! I love that soup from the Dixie Stampede!! We love going to the smokies during autumn and that is always on the itinerary as well as Dollywood!! I love Dolly too Brooke!!!❤❤❤
I just have to say that i absolutely adore your channel and that you have become one ofy favorite channels to watch these days. You come up with some very creative ways to make amazing meals on very little money. I started watching cooking channels to give me some new ideas, but they tend to make things with lots of ingredients that i don't typically keep in my pantry. You on the otherhandare showing me different ways to use stuff i already ave and typically buy. Thank you!
Its great how you improvise with what you got. Re tortilla chips 😊
RYDER IS SO CUTE!! Love this video! :) Great ideas as usual! I want to be you when I grow up Brooke!
This week, I'm using my in-house refrigerator, freezer and pantry food as much as two people can eat before another grocery shopping trip.
I know this is an older video(I just found your TH-cam channel a few weeks ago), but I think you are such a positive person and I love your videos, you do a lot of the same cooking as my mom did when I was growing up. I have followed after her in my cooking for my family. It’s the simple ways and unplanned meals that make everything taste so much better. I look forward to seeing more of your family enjoying your food, stay positive! 🙂
Your “short” hair is cute on you!
Please don’t apologize for needing to take care of yourself. It happens sometimes. You matter.
Tell Ryder and Braydon that the tortilla chips dipped in the refried beans and then the hot Mexican rice is delicious! 😋 I am so happy you're feeling better❤
I use beans and rice as a "dip" for tortilla chips all the time. Yum! It was my lunch today.
Never thought of it. Great idea.
Wooo! That last one got a "9" from your biggest critic!! Good job and your hair looks adorable!
The discovery of using green chiles instead of jalapenos has been a huge game changer for me. They're often part of my $5 stock challenge. Cannot wait to try the white chicken chili with them.
I always keep a couple cans in my pantry for recipes or whenever I suddenly bulk prep chili. I get at least a few cans with every Aldi shop.
You are as real as real gets,and I love,love,love it!
Love your videos! FYI... stuffing mix also makes great bread crumbs for meatballs and meatloaf!!!
Leftover (cold) meatloaf sanwiches are one of the best things to eat! And YES to the extra ketchup. So good.
I'm so sorry you got sick.We had a stomach bug last week. You did awesome with that budget.
