So life has been hitting my family hard from all sides… lost job … failing health… and too much more to list… suffice it to say we are on an extreme budget and are planning our pantry Easter meal because of you! I know whatever we end up doing it will be tasty… filling and will be a great Easter because we will all be together… God Bless you and the entire family… Happy Easter to all… He is RISEN!!! 💜✝️🙏
Bless you and the family.❤ I volunteer at a Food Bank, and please don't be afraid to go to one, if you need to. The people working there are NOT rude at all. It's different than in the old days. You'll be so glad you went, trust me. I was at my local pantry yesterday. Happy Easter .🐰 I'll pray for you. 🙏🏼
@@wendymcbridemarinecorpscom8811 I appreciate that more than you know… I ain’t too proud if that’s what it comes too… we all need a little help from time to time … prayers most welcome… thank you 😊 Happy Easter and thank you for your service! ♥️
Between your faith, family and this community you will be okay. I know life knocks us down but Jesus picks us up! If you need to go to a food pantry or a blessing box that's ok that's why it's there. Blessings to you and your family on this Holy day!!!! Happy Easter Everyone ✝️
I have a video suggestion. When I volunteered at a food pantry, a lot of the families we served were being temporarily housed in motels. They had a mini fridge and a microwave and their own ingenuity to make their meals. I think it would be great if you occasionally put together a microwave only episode. In any case, you get endless thanks from me for all you do.🙏🏻
From the UK - yum yum yum! I was influenced to buy and try some pinto beans, not a British thing really but they were delicious. Great meals for your family and if I get an invite, then for me too. 64 year old lady who would eat any of those meals in a heartbeat, and probably faint too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Black beans are another yum. You can make refried beans from pinto or black beans and they taste different. A nice change from beans on toast or a jacket potato! I eat my refried beans with tortilla chips often. I used to get store brand basics tortilla chips from ASDA for cheap.
Brought tears to my eyes when you said Brayden was your biggest fan ❤ what a good boy! Reminds me of my son so much! You can tell you are such a loving mother , it shows through your children! You do a amazing job!
Who else has an overactive salivary reaction when you're done watching Brooke's videos?? Let's see those hands! 🤚🤚🤚 Love you, Brooke, and family 💕 Happy Easter!
KyKy is such a doll baby. I absolutely loslve hearing his sweet little "ooh it looks really good, smells really good, too. Let's see how it tastes." He said different cute things this time, but I just adore him ❤ all your boys are sweeties
Please also if you are in a situation where you have no money for food. Go to your local food pantry. Many of us have been there and taken what little we have and combine it. Never go with out food always reach out.
Thank you for these videos. I am on EBT and I only get 281 a month for me and my family. There is two other humans and a dog who has a diet of chicken breast and rice. These videos help me so much. Keep up the great work southernFrugalMomma. The left overs the other adult takes them to work.
@@allisonpacino Every dog food the vet has put him on has caused him to throw up and have tremors daily. Once we started home cooking the meals we went though trying to figure out what would be best for him. That is how we decided. He is a 3 year old rednose pitbull/boxer breed.
This video is super helpful. I needed to go grocery shopping today and was trying to figure out what to cook this week for dinner. I already have a bunch of rice and beans and was trying to plan my meals around those things. So this video helped a bunch and I didn't spend but 30 dollars because I added some extra frozen veggies. I'm also feeding a family of 9 for dinners.
You rock at stretching a dollar. More young families need to listen and learn. Even though I am feeding 3 seniors, I still add in dried beans and sale meats for our menu. Our new favorite is lentils. Until my Dad (93) came to live with us he had not eaten leftover beans in a pan fried burrito with all the goodies for lunch. He is a super fan now. He said I should open a restaurant. lol. We eat all leftovers. 🙂 Oh My! I love chow chow and beans or greens. My husband would eat like this video all the time and be very happy.
These videos are so good for those rough times. When things are tight, I DoorDash to earn extra $$ for food & for a prepper pantry. It’s worth it to me. Having a Backup pantry makes the rough weeks easier. Thanks for all you do!
Soup beans to chili to coney dogs. Genius! I can never figure out what to do with my leftovers so they won't seem like the same meal 2 or 3 days in a row. Thank you for the inspiration!
My mom used to make beans from scratch when I was little. There was no such thing as an instant pot back then. The second night, she made chili beans. The third night, she made burritos. Aww, the memories. We were poor too.
You are very creative and resourceful!! Even if this isn’t a “temp” situation as it sometimes isn’t, there is nothing wrong with any of these meals! Fantastic series/video (I hope it’s a series. Lol)
Love your meal plans to stretch the budget. My husband would eat hotdogs with chili cheese fries everynight if I let him but at 72 I do limit that to every other week. I switched to ground turkey breast 3yrs. ago for my chili and he hasn't caught on yet. Sent our daughter over to your site because she feeds a house full every night and she and I both agree that you have terrific ideas for when you still have a week until the next pay check. Thanks so nuch for sharing .
Big old pot of Pinto Beans and Cotn Bread, you cannot beat it. We diced onion to sprinkle on ours and my Dad sprinkled pepper vinegar on his. My Dad even ate cold pinto bean sandwiches. If you like your beans thicker, take a half cup of the beans and a little juice and mash it together. Stir it back in the big pot and it will thicken the beans. It all looked so good.
There’s absolutely nothing like a good pot of pinto beans and cornbread are my favorite chopped onions and tomato 😋I like all types of beans don’t get me wrong great northern are next 😋🙏🏾❤️
I just told my mom about your channel, she is older and literally never even been on TH-cam lol but I told her how and ,I told her she definitely needs to watch you make these inexpensive meals ..Love ya channel!❤
Anita told me to find you on TH-cam, and I’m so glad I did!!! I struggle so much with figuring out what to cook. You are so good at it, and have helped me tremendously!!! Thank you 😊
I was telling my husband last night how much I love your channel. I told him how you can create great meals with very few ingredients. You have such creative mind. Also, I love your personality! God bless you and your beautiful family!
There is going to be a lot of people who turn their noses up to the food you make and those same people will have a change of heart sooner then they know thank you for your videos
Being creative is so important! The lesser the food inventory in my pantry and fridge, the more creative I become! I knew a lady who raised her sons on beans and cornbread and they turned out just fine!
I love this concept of videos! I hope you make more like this! Having a small list of groceries and making things taste different is always the goal. Nobody enjoys eating the same exact dinner three days in a row
Hi Brooke and Dusty and boys Thank you Brooke , for the shopping list and meal plans . I can't thank you enough I am taking notes and sharing these shopping list and meal plans with family and friends and posting them in our area park where a lot of families takes their kids to play and posting them at the picnic tables to help others in my area and on the church community board . Just trying to help others as you have helped me . Thank you. 🐰 🥚 🐥 Happy Easter 🐣 🥚 rabbit 🐇
You have a gift for making delicious meals with limited funds. This is so helpful for many people.that are facing limited funds.Thank you for all your time and effort you put into it.
I absolutely love the do-ability of your recipes. So many people out there do not have high level cooking skills, and you show how you do every step. Two pounds of pinto beans for 3 meals for 5 people? Genius!
I love when you do these types of videos. Hell I love all of your videos. I keep trying to tell my family we are too broke for them to not like beans and rice but they won't listen to me! 🤦🤣 I am from Georgia and soup beans and cornbread is a whole buffet for me! You were only missing the hot sauce! ♥️
Awe girl your videos have given me proof that being on an extreme extreme budget you can have tasty meals besides ketchup and spaghetti Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️😊
A couple of things i use chili for are; Chili cheese baked potatoes are always good. Chili omelets only uses a couple of spoons full of chili and serve with toast, chili quesadill too if it's good and thick 😋 love the videos ❤
We had pinto beans every week. Momma would bake some cornbread. We would either have country-fried potatoes or rutabaga with the beans. She would save a small portion of the beans and make a salad the next day. The salad had lettuce, tomato, onion, beans, and some mayonnaise. She would also bake a homemade pie or cake. She baked pie or cake at least 5 days a week. The pie was cut into 5 pieces, one slice for each family member. When she baked a cake, it was cut in half, and we ate it that night. The other half was for the next night. Great memories!
I just found your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching. You have the best ideas and you are so sweet. New subbie! Have a great Easter!. BTW I am even doing a pantry Easter, thanks to you!
Love your channel. I like to cook meals that are cheap but doesn't taste cheap. It would be good to see a series for a full day on a budget, including breakfast and lunch.
Absolutely you are an inspiration helping all of us facing food insecurity like myself and also folks who just want to save a buck!!! Thank you so much!!! I go to the pantry and dollar tree and you have given me so many budget friendly and delicious meals!!!!
Great meals Brooke and I love how 2 lbs of beans turned into 3 complete different meals !! Great job👏👏👏! I love these meal videos that stretches a buck but serves up. Nutritious enticing meals! God bless and Happy Easter to you and the family!! ❤️🙏🙋🏻
All the recipes look great to me. Idealy there would be veggies but like you said sometimes you just need to fill up little bellies. I think thats exactly why people should have pantrys with extra food for when the budget is a little more tight. Thanks for a great video.
There are no words to adequately describe what you do and how it helps so many. You are showing people how to take the shame out of hardship and survive for better days. I can only thank you, and that is not enough. ❤❤❤❤❤
You never can go wrong with beans and cornbread. Brooke everything looked good and hearty portions for all. Thanks for the creativity and very Happy Easter wishes to all. Our Savior is the reason we can celebrate. xoxo
Your ability to make that many meals out of the small amount of food you buy is AMAZING! I’ve been watching you for awhile but we went on an extended rv vacation and I missed two months of your videos, no internet at a lot of national parks! I’ve been trying to go back and catch up!! I know you are helping a lot of people with your videos and your inspiring me to use what’s in my pantry, digging out the things I forget about and making a cheap meal around the items! 💜
Soup Beans are a staple here in Ky. Pretty sure they kept a lot of children from actually starving. Along with potatoes and cornbread. My husband ate them almost everynight as a child in a large family. We still love them and fix beans at least once a week.
This was amazing. Presently we are trying to make it to every payday 😢. Resources reduced and prices increased 😮. I did something like this with the $7 bag of chicken quarters from Wal. so far we had backed chicken and rice, chicken rice avocado cheese salsa burritos, chicken noodle soup, tonight chicken tortilla soup and still have 4 chicken quarters in freezer.
Soup beans, cornbread, sliced onion and sweet tea was what I grew up on!!!! Brooke I enjoy these type of videos you are AMAZING at what you do you truly have a gift!!!! God Bless
Hello Ms. Brooke. 🦋 Bless you! I have replied and talked with so many ladies in the comments. Sorry, I now only have time left to remind you that I love you and the women at my shelter do too. Back to work. Er room is FULL tonight!! 🏥 ❤ Happy Easter, Sister. Lifting you up in prayer 🙏🏼 Your Friend, Lt. Nurse Wendy.
Good looking food, we eat like this sometimes just because we love them. Thanks for reminding me about chili beans, it's been a while, love you Brooke and your kids are just so sweet!
Great job, Brooke! Obviously, your best accomplishment is raising your wonderful boys! They are each one what everyone wishes for. Congrats! Thank you for sharing.
Gosh Brooke, you are knocking it out of the park gorgeous girl. I am now going to cook pinto beans in my electric pressure cooker (I’m in Australia, we don’t have instapot ) & freeze them….family of 2 here & id definitely eat your meals, minus the meat/sausage/hotdog sausages (I’m mostly vegetarian, eat fish very infrequently) so I could throw a steamed frozen veg on the side to bulk it up. Happy Easter to you all & God bless us all for your wonderfulness 💖💖💖💖
Sad you gotta keep reminding people it’s just to fill your families bellys😮 love your channel love your videos I look for them all the time a lot of my melas I have been inspired by your budget meals !! Any wait for the next video 😊😊
I do appreciate that you want to give people inexpensive options for when they are broke, but I would like to see a more day-to-day menu that is sustainable over a long time (that, yes, contains all food groups). I know you can do it, and it would help us a lot.
I love your budget friendly meals!! There helping my family so much in order to save up for our vacation! I used to make so much food that then needed to be thrown away but with your meals I only make exactly what we will eat and only buy what we need. Opposed to not having a meal plan and over buying. You should do a video on what type of food/ snacks to take for on the road/ a day at the park I would really appreciate it! (For reference we’re going to Disney) husband is the only provider and I’m trying to help as much as I can spending wise!
Take those oyster crackers, mix a packet of ranch, and olive oil (or any oil) and bake them on a low heat like 250. My uncle used to make this for Holliday's. If anyone knows the actual recipe please share. It's so good and so cheap. Happy Easter everyone!!
My recipe is a 1 pound box of saltines or equivalent of oyster crackers. 1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix 2-3 Tbsp crushed red pepper flakes and originally the recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of canola oil but I use 3/4 cup sometimes less. I don't bake them, just whisk together the oil, dressing mix, red pepper flakes. Empty the crackers into a large ziploc bag or container with tight fitting lid, pour the oil mixture over the top and stir to coat the crackers. Put on lid or seal container and stir or shake every 15-30 minutes until everything is coated and absorbed.
Omg! Talk about delish! I never thought about using my left over pintos in Chili. Dang girl! Ur brilliant! PS - I just love how you look at ur boys, with such sweetness. Thanks for the video! ❤
It's a blessing that ur household loves ur cooking! I have all girls & they will eat one day & the next day won't eat anything!!! Tks for sharing all these recipes ❤
Yum chili dogs a favorite. Whenever I made chili, we had chili then chili Mac and finished it off with chili dogs. I usually air fry hot dogs. Thanks Brooke ❤
This video is 5 months old and I'm watching it now because I just found your channel. I understand that some people don't like beans. We all love them here in my family. No need to explain that it is to keep bellies filled. Thank goodness they are inexpensive because we would eat them no matter what.
Love it! My 3rd pinto bean meal is often chili/rice/cheese burritos. I combine ingredients in a large tortilla, spray them with pam and crisp them in the oven. They're delicious!! Chili over spaghetti is good too! And you can freeze the pinto beans to make your own baked beans or refried beans from scratch another week!
I especially liked that, even though you were using beans in all the meals, you show different ways to use them. It would be easy to spread them out over a few more days, skipping days in between to break it up a little. There is so much you can do with beans, and they are so good. Maybe you could do a series of shows and make several meals with a common ingredient, like rice, potatoes, ground beef, chicken, Etc. Just an idea, though I really like the way you do your shows now. Great ideas.
I am Ketocarnivore, but, I do love beans & cornbread. Yum!! So awesome! I'm a Kentucky girl raised by a mamaw that was hardcore country cooking. Love this!! Thanks, Brooke!
Great meal ideas! Thank you for the inspiration ❤️.Love meals that stretch into other meals!! Have you ever tried cooking hotdogs in the air fry? Game changer 👍
Love your vids. I would love to see a vid of a week of dinners you are cooking for just a normal week, and using your pantry and I would love to see you try things you have never made before to see if your family would like the new recipes.
You are such an incentive to save money abd be able to feed your family. Groceries are so high and it's hard. I fir one an tired of my money not going anywhere. I'm going to write all these recipes down to help my own family. Oh, I love onion with my soup beans too. 😊 Happy Easter.
I sometimes cut the sausage circles in half again because it makes it look like more even though it’s exactly the same amount and then I add another cup of home cooked beans and mix it in to make some lunches the next day.Your recipe is fabulous,tasty and nutritious.
If you are a mother. A real mother. All you want is to be able to send your child to bed with a full tummy. Or to school with a full tummy. They sleep better & learn more when their tummy isn't growling. I have nnever baked my hotdogs before. I either boil them or cook them in my griddle frying pan. If you do that you have to watch them. Or they could burn. I'm going to try & bake them next time. My griddle is cast iron so I can stick it in the oven. I'm going to give it a try.
I love this. The meals look tasty and easy and I like how your leftover ingredients carry over to the next meal. And I got a kick out of the faint reaction. If someone is in a hurry but wants thicker beans you can remove a scoop of beans and smash them then return them to the pot.
PS: girl this is a ministry. I'm not sure if you realize that, but God's using you to help others❤
I’ve said the same
AMEN MY SISTER ONLY THE AWAKE WILL UNDERSTAND LOVE YOU SISTER BROOKE YOUR THE BOMB.SISTER REDWING AMEN LOVE YA SISTER PECULIAR MISFIT.
I realize it. I said the same thing to her before in the comments. 😊
Truth!!!
Yep! AMEN!

I really enjoy seeing how food/leftovers get transformed from meal to meal to meal. It's like magic.
With 2 teen age sons, she may never have leftovers. I make fun of my boys. Mine would eat a full meal every 2 hours.
Agree. Don't ya just love her? 👍❤
Facts ❤😂

Just a quick question from a veterinary nurse. Why does your baby (dog) have to eat chicken and rice? Just seeing if I can help any.❤
@@allisonpacino Every dog food the vet has put him on has caused him to throw up and have tremors daily. Once we started home cooking the meals we went though trying to figure out what would be best for him. That is how we decided. He is a 3 year old rednose pitbull/boxer breed.
Just be thankful you are not a senior citizen. We get very little. 🤔
Your doing a great job. My dog use to have a diet of turkey burger and xarrots and rice.

We love leftover chili and cheese on baked potatoes too!
Cute little boy, the mum is adorable waiting for the older ones approval if food is good. My second video I have ever seen of this family
Please watch as many of her videos as possible, she has so many $ saving tips for meal prep.

You can take a cup of beans and the juice out and put them in a blender. Add back to the beans to thicken the soup.
Yaaaasssss, Gurrrrllll! I ❤love meals where you can turn leftovers into something completely different. Please do more of these videos! ❤❤❤
I love to eat franks and beans with Ruffles so the salty chips contrast the sweet beans.
Omg me too! It’s sooo good! 🤤
I agree with you. Why drain the pinto beans for chili? So much goodness wasted. Well Done Momma, well done!
Love these meals! Great way to stretch the beans! You rock!
Soup Beans are a staple here in Ky. Pretty sure they kept a lot of children from actually starving. Along with potatoes and cornbread. My husband ate them almost everynight as a child in a large family. We still love them and fix beans at least once a week.
Zip it! 😂. You tell ‘em, Brooke!
I just love the faint! It never gets old.
So glad to see the ground turkey roll...we live off of those so it's great to see new ways to use them so thank you!
Bean cakes with leftovers is a must try. Filling and different
This was amazing. Presently we are trying to make it to every payday 😢. Resources reduced and prices increased 😮. I did something like this with the $7 bag of chicken quarters from Wal. so far we had backed chicken and rice, chicken rice avocado cheese salsa burritos, chicken noodle soup, tonight chicken tortilla soup and still have 4 chicken quarters in freezer.
Soup beans, cornbread, sliced onion and sweet tea was what I grew up on!!!! Brooke I enjoy these type of videos you are AMAZING at what you do you truly have a gift!!!! God Bless
Hello Ms. Brooke. 🦋 Bless you! I have replied and talked with so many ladies in the comments. Sorry, I now only have time left to remind you that I love you and the women at my shelter do too. Back to work. Er room is FULL tonight!! 🏥 ❤ Happy Easter, Sister. Lifting you up in prayer 🙏🏼
Your Friend, Lt. Nurse Wendy.
Good looking food, we eat like this sometimes just because we love them. Thanks for reminding me about chili beans, it's been a while, love you Brooke and your kids are just so sweet!
Genius!! 2 lbs beans into 3 meals!!😳😍 So proud of you little mama!!!💞💞💞💞💞love you bestie!!💖💖💖💖💖💖
Only thing missing from them beans and corn bread was some good fried potatoes, one of my fav meals
Great job, Brooke! Obviously, your best accomplishment is raising your wonderful boys! They are each one what everyone wishes for. Congrats! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Gosh Brooke, you are knocking it out of the park gorgeous girl. I am now going to cook pinto beans in my electric pressure cooker (I’m in Australia, we don’t have instapot ) & freeze them….family of 2 here & id definitely eat your meals, minus the meat/sausage/hotdog sausages (I’m mostly vegetarian, eat fish very infrequently) so I could throw a steamed frozen veg on the side to bulk it up.
Happy Easter to you all & God bless us all for your wonderfulness 💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much! I’m So glad you can put your own twist on these meals to fit your diet! Happy Easter!!
Sad you gotta keep reminding people it’s just to fill your families bellys😮 love your channel love your videos I look for them all the time a lot of my melas I have been inspired by your budget meals !! Any wait for the next video 😊😊
I do appreciate that you want to give people inexpensive options for when they are broke, but I would like to see a more day-to-day menu that is sustainable over a long time (that, yes, contains all food groups). I know you can do it, and it would help us a lot.
Loved the video...my favorite part was when you said "zip it!"😂❤
Love these type of videos! I grew up eating lots of pinto beans! Still love them & with cornbread!
Brooke
Thank you for the inspiration. We will be having chili tomorrow night. We love cheese dogs and chips.
I love your budget friendly meals!! There helping my family so much in order to save up for our vacation!
I used to make so much food that then needed to be thrown away but with your meals I only make exactly what we will eat and only buy what we need. Opposed to not having a meal plan and over buying.
You should do a video on what type of food/ snacks to take for on the road/ a day at the park I would really appreciate it! (For reference we’re going to Disney) husband is the only provider and I’m trying to help as much as I can spending wise!
Brayden always says it’s really good! Always. I love it. ❤
Take those oyster crackers, mix a packet of ranch, and olive oil (or any oil) and bake them on a low heat like 250. My uncle used to make this for Holliday's. If anyone knows the actual recipe please share. It's so good and so cheap. Happy Easter everyone!!
See Mindy Mom has a similar recipe she uses for saltines (she may do them with oyster crackers, too) I'll see if I can find it.
My recipe is a 1 pound box of saltines or equivalent of oyster crackers. 1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix 2-3 Tbsp crushed red pepper flakes and originally the recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of canola oil but I use 3/4 cup sometimes less. I don't bake them, just whisk together the oil, dressing mix, red pepper flakes. Empty the crackers into a large ziploc bag or container with tight fitting lid, pour the oil mixture over the top and stir to coat the crackers. Put on lid or seal container and stir or shake every 15-30 minutes until everything is coated and absorbed.
Sounds good.
Omg! Talk about delish! I never thought about using my left over pintos in Chili. Dang girl! Ur brilliant! PS - I just love how you look at ur boys, with such sweetness.
Thanks for the video! ❤
It's a blessing that ur household loves ur cooking! I have all girls & they will eat one day & the next day won't eat anything!!! Tks for sharing all these recipes ❤
Yum chili dogs a favorite. Whenever I made chili, we had chili then chili Mac and finished it off with chili dogs. I usually air fry hot dogs. Thanks Brooke ❤
Aww, your sons are so appreciative.
This video is 5 months old and I'm watching it now because I just found your channel. I understand that some people don't like beans. We all love them here in my family. No need to explain that it is to keep bellies filled. Thank goodness they are inexpensive because we would eat them no matter what.
Love it! My 3rd pinto bean meal is often chili/rice/cheese burritos. I combine ingredients in a large tortilla, spray them with pam and crisp them in the oven. They're delicious!! Chili over spaghetti is good too! And you can freeze the pinto beans to make your own baked beans or refried beans from scratch another week!
I especially liked that, even though you were using beans in all the meals, you show different ways to use them. It would be easy to spread them out over a few more days, skipping days in between to break it up a little. There is so much you can do with beans, and they are so good. Maybe you could do a series of shows and make several meals with a common ingredient, like rice, potatoes, ground beef, chicken, Etc. Just an idea, though I really like the way you do your shows now. Great ideas.
I am Ketocarnivore, but, I do love beans & cornbread. Yum!! So awesome! I'm a Kentucky girl raised by a mamaw that was hardcore country cooking. Love this!! Thanks, Brooke!
Dang! Ok, chili is my weakness, so, again....YUM!!! Looks sooooo good!!!
i like her videos im kinda new TO HER chanal I like that she puts her kids and hubby first GOD BLESS HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY.
Love our Big Pot of Chili week. Chili night, chil over spaghetti and last Chili cheese dogs. Great video!!! Happy Easter
Love your videos and the idea of putting your grocery list below... THANK YOU for all your tips and all you do 💗💗🙏🙏
I really enjoy all the meals you make using a small budget.
I ordered a 2 lb. bag of pintos for delivery from WalMart while I was watching this. Love pintos and love seeing you and your family.
I like it how each meal was different gives me idea every day thank you.
Great meal ideas! Thank you for the inspiration ❤️.Love meals that stretch into other meals!! Have you ever tried cooking hotdogs in the air fry? Game changer 👍
How long do you do them in the air fryer?
I just cook them till my liking. Around 350° till a little blistered, maybe 5-7 minutes. Give them a turn halfway
Love your vids. I would love to see a vid of a week of dinners you are cooking for just a normal week, and using your pantry and I would love to see you try things you have never made before to see if your family would like the new recipes.
You are such an incentive to save money abd be able to feed your family. Groceries are so high and it's hard. I fir one an tired of my money not going anywhere. I'm going to write all these recipes down to help my own family. Oh, I love onion with my soup beans too. 😊 Happy Easter.
You did good! Have you ever tried coleslaw on a chili dog? 😋
I sometimes cut the sausage circles in half again because it makes it look like more even though it’s exactly the same amount and then I add another cup of home cooked beans and mix it in to make some lunches the next day.Your recipe is fabulous,tasty and nutritious.
I did not grow up eating beans but I married a man from West Va and he taught me all about beans...yummy
If you are a mother. A real mother. All you want is to be able to send your child to bed with a full tummy. Or to school with a full tummy. They sleep better & learn more when their tummy isn't growling. I have nnever baked my hotdogs before. I either boil them or cook them in my griddle frying pan. If you do that you have to watch them. Or they could burn. I'm going to try & bake them next time. My griddle is cast iron so I can stick it in the oven. I'm going to give it a try.
Your kids are AWESOME! Mr. B loves everything! Your ideas are wonderful with plenty of flavor. I watched 2 videos and had to subscribe. Thank you!
I love this. The meals look tasty and easy and I like how your leftover ingredients carry over to the next meal. And I got a kick out of the faint reaction.
If someone is in a hurry but wants thicker beans you can remove a scoop of beans and smash them then return them to the pot.
