Eggs at WM are 60 for $6.30~ they were down to $5 last week! I know you don't buy them, but the community might want to know! I'm so glad you started using pantry item with these videos since most of us have them. I've never reused oil even though I think the taste of French fries from the bowling alley are the best and they NEVER change their frying oil 🤣🤣🤣!
My momma used to strain the oil and then refrigerate French fry oil. She would usually use it 3 times, then start over with new oil. Refrigerating the oil kept it fresher and it didn’t go rancid. Miss my moms homemade fries.😢
@@theshepherds2846 Most Mama's foods are the best. Love my Mama dearly, but she never was a good cook!
@@theshepherds2846 I do same with oil it just makes since it’s still good never had a problem ❤
Hi Angel girl and your family ❤ God bless you all 💕 Have a blessed day 😇 Love you guys 😇🥰😇
If there are no peanut allergies, peanut oil lasts the longest. I've never actually had it go bad be for it needs to be changed (I'm talking a couple months), i in my fryer and I store it in a lower cabinet. Just a thought to share ♡
Watching you over this last year, it's amazing how much your boys have grown, Ryder especially looks so grown up
Your a sweet mama that provides well for your family 👪 ❤️. You teach me living on a budget can be done 😊 your boys and hubby are so loved by you ❤️. Enjoy watching your videos.
I'm in Murfreesboro Tennessee and you cook like I did when my children were little, I called them kill a hunger meals. Watching you and Rusty remind me of those times. Prevent Hunger ❤❤❤
Brooke: We don't eat breakfast.
Also Brooke: ::makes breakfast for lunch and dinner in one day::
lol
Breakfast is good any time of the day… lol
Lol, just because you don't eat breakfast doesn't mean you dislike breakfast foods. Every Wednesday night here is hot cereal night. Economic and tasty. We add a little powdered peanut butter for extra protein
@@christines2787 Oh, I know. It's just hilarious to have the video start out like that and end up where it did.
@@lynnhager7763 It absolutely is. My son decided at 4 p.m. Sunday that we needed to do a full English breakfast for dinner. Do you know how hard it is to find English sausages in Pittsburgh on a Sunday afternoon? Impossible.
Breakfast foods are delish 😂 just not in the mornings.
I enjoy when Brayden taste tests the food. When he enjoys something his eyes get wide with a surprised look on his face. Brooke, you really look good with your hair cut short like that. ❤️
Thank you! I had to cut off those dead ends lol
Totally agree!! I love your children's taste tests!! Especially Brayden!! I also went the opposite end of welcoming my grays- I said, after almost 2 years and finally looking at myself in the window of Aldi,yeah..who are you? We don't know who your are and this has got to go!! Went to my hairdresser and she was in her glory, she's like girl, WE GOT THIS!! I attend my virtual meetings now with confidence!! I guess I wasn't ready to go gray!!
I just got a family pack of chicken drums, 3 roma tomatoes and a english cucumber for $7.18, I’ve learned from you 🎉😊
The butts of bread are my favorite! I'll keep the first piece in the bag until I get to the end of the loaf... and Brooke... lemme tell you. The BEST bologna sandwich in the world is made with the bread butts!
Omg I say the same thing lol it's my favorite..
Brooke, I absolutely love your videos. Thank you so much! I have always been the “worst cook” in my family. Now I feel like you have helped me to understand general cooking skills, and how to trust my gut on modifications for my tastes. Somehow now I am the cook and everyone jokes at family cookouts how I was the worst and now I am the best. It’s a good feeling to have some self esteem!
Bray has spouted up sooo quickly lately!!
He has! His doctor said the way he’s going, he’ll be over 6ft
@@SouthernFrugalMomma for sure!!
Love your hair. Even though my kids are grown I use so many of your ideas as I am retired. A challenge is fun! I have chickens too. All have names of course. Using pantry items is great. We always have a variety of spices and oils and such. Like that the fellas taste the meals. Love that they are involved. I used to cook a big chicken casserole with one chicken breast for the 5 of us. Stretching and adding soup and more. Poultry seasoning helped. Take care.
So, you actually only spent $3.50 for an emergency meal plan for one day. Pretty darn good!
How we just gonna gloss over Brooks new hair??? Looks great ❤
Thank you!
saw another vlog (from CA--the woman is also brilliant): she fixed meals for one person for 5 days for $5 (15 meals); her base food for the week was a loaf of zucchini bread; she bought flour and sugar and used that for bread, tortillas, biscuits, and papusas (sort of a savory donut with savory filling), she used baking powder from her pantry; you can do a lot with flour--just plain flour (and you do not have to be some amazing bakery artist--it is really pretty easy)...dts/usa
yes, the girl from CA who does 5.00 for one person for 5 days is Ardent Michelle
Love the haircut! I would like to see a video using some m I re oantry items that we should all have on hand, like rice, beans and oatmeal. Imagine using that little bit if meat with your rice and homemade gravy! In Arizona we eats lots of nexican food. Knowing how to make tortillas is a lifesaver.
You're such a good mom and wife! ♡
Yesterday we bought a newer vehicle 😁
Bloomin heck Brooke, that was live the five loaves and fishes.
Well done👍🙏
8:32 "Butts of bread!" 😂 I love it! I use them, too!
I also always keep tea bags on hand (no soda) and I drink one or two cups all day long (no sugar)--but I put orange peals and rose petals (or hybiscus petals in the cups)...there is a vlog from the middle east and they put all kinds of flowers in their teas to flavor them (when they brew them with loose tea)...it is amazing! and healthy...dts/usa
Try sprinkling the spices on the top of dipped bread after it’s on the griddle.
You can also premix the spices and sugar in a shaker jar. Try apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice or invent your own blend!
I also like vanilla in French toast
Oh my gosh. I just realized you cut your hair. It looks really good. At first I thought the difference was the color then realized it’s shorter. 😁
Would be fun to see your fails something you would not do again and why. Everyone has some oh no’s
I have a couple on here lol I forget which videos. One was a Mexican rice, corn, and cheese quesadilla. It was a no go.
For Father’s Day I made pancakes and bacon. Served homemade raspberry syrup - it was a hit!
The other night I fixed spaghetti and eggs for supper. We have a overstock of eggs, even though we donate most of them to the food kitchen.
Took me 28 years to get my husband to try it but now he likes it, God love him.
How is this being prepared? I'm interested. Are you doing on over easy on top of pasta, a carbonara, something else? I love the idea of egg with rice or pasta as a budget saver, and would love to have more ideas. Thanks.
So well done! Its truly magical how much you can stretch a buck Brooke! Thanks for doing these. One of my favorites that you do!
10:29 Sprinkling sugar on the toast as it cooks is a good idea!
also, one of the cheapest meats out there is brkfst sausage (little links--sliced up) and one woman cooked it with cubed potatoes and topped with fried eggs...pretty easy and cheap--and that goes a long way (you can eat on it for about 4 meals (one person)--it fills up an entire skillet (also, can serve it over a biscuit--yes, made from flour and water and butter if you have it)...dts/usa
When I was growing up, my Mama didn't waste (9 kids), she made apple jelly from the apple peelings....
Sounds Yummy 😋
I have apple scrap jelly in my pantry! It’s so good!
I do the same. And, one batch didn’t set - different apples have different levels of natural pectin. The unset batch is a delicious apple syrup.
Grandma did this. Best ever .
Almost 2.00 meal soup beans and cornbread it's a staple here we eat a whole lot of them and I hate them but you have to eat what you can afford
Have you ever made bean cakes , omg. You take the beans add flour and a little milk or water then put batter and fry crispy on both sides. It's delicious
Oh I know bean cakes real well
My dad's family was from the Penn Dutch area and we would have apples and dumplings (Schnitz Un Knepp) and we would cook the apples with cinnamon, water and a little sugar or molasses and add diced up smoky ham and made small drop dumplings. a short cut version is to skip the dumplings and cook the mixture down more and have it over toast or leftover biscuits or rolls. simple but good. I also will dice up the apples and cook like you did for your french toast and add nutmeg and ground ginger with the cinnamon and have over french toast for breakfast or over toast or leftover white cake or even biscuits and it's like a warm apple pie dessert or treat.
Your haircut is gorgeous your food looks delicious but the best thing ate those kind well mannered boys. Youdid an awesome job on raising those boys
With 3 dozen eggs in my fridge, I think French toast (extra to go in freezer with some bkfst burritos) will go on my Wednesday menu plan. Taco Tuesday today😊..
Nice job! The french toast was a good idea for stretching the dollar and your apple compote was creative! That was a meal for everyone for about $2! (You might want to oil your griddle a little and not use a metal spatula on teflon.)
You can add a little cornstarch glue to the apple compost to thicken up the syrup. It helps stretch it cuz you don’t need as much.
If i dont have maple syrup or fruit I simmer equal parts sugar and water until thickened and add whatever extract I have on hand.
Generally its going to be vanilla or almond. Pancakes eith lemon juice and powdered sugar works too
At work today, my afternoon snack consisted of a peanut butter "sandwich" made from premade frozen pancakes in my work fridge, and the jar of peanut butter that regularly lives on my desk top.
I love your haircut Brooke looks really nice on you. Good job on your meal everyone was happy.
You have such good ideas. Im going to try apples that way! I love how sweet you are with your family and how sweet they are with you.
I like that u are creative in feeding your family, it is such a help having a garden &chickens!!❤
I love the idea of making syrup from an apple!
I appreciate these so much. I live alone & you always give me good ideas that don’t cross my mind. Tfs
This is the way I make mine Eggs mixed up quick dunk fry longer the you think before you flip pour extra egg mixture on top. Then tons of butter and syrup. No more mushy bread
Love you sweet girl
I like the idea of the fruit. Your short hair is really cute on you❤️
I just found your yt and I already love you. ❤ I only saw 2 video's but i already enjoy them. Not only for the food, but you all seem like a lovely family. I love how you let your family taste the food first and let them be honest on how it tasted. Boy i got a lot of catching up to do . Lovely family 🥰❤
Hi Brooke this is Sue, my hubby loves egg and ham sandwiches like this, keep up the great brain work on inventions, love from Canada
If you want a thicker syrup, put the core and apple peelings in the water first and bring to a boil for a few minutes. Remove and then add your sugar and apples and reduce to a simmer until your apples are tender and it is as thick as you want. The core and peeling contain high levels of pectin which helps to thicken and is used in making jams and jellies. You can even do this and then add other fruits or fruit juice and reduce to make a refrigerator jelly or jam using white sugar This is a great way to make jelly out of canned fruit such as apricots, pears, or peaches. However, you can also use this method and then add apple juice or grape juice to make a quick jelly. Just add about 2 cups of juice and reduce by half or so. It will thicken more as it cools. For canned fruit, I like to do this in small one or two can batches and it will keep in the fridge in a covered container for around 3 weeks. It is a good way to use apple cores and peelings you might otherwise just throw away.
Too precious, "your not going to hurt my feelings." Answer. "Really?" 😆🥰
He is my little protector lol
He’s the one that would fight somebody if they hurt me emotionally or physically 😂
Brooke, great job 👏 ❤❤❤
I'm pretty new here, and I've been binge watching some videos. I really enjoy your creativity with low budget meals. Never ever wouls have thought 2 apples and 2 bananas cut uo into slices would lake so much! And I've never ever tried fried apples and bananas and it looks amazing. When I need tonstretch a dollar I like to also do breakfast for dinner. It is so cheap and so good because I never get to eat a big breakfast, so it is a nice treat for dinner (or lunch).
great job brooke!!!! hair looks awesome
Looks super sweet
I think alot of us like to peel by hand thats how we were taught growing up lol .. I just want to say thank you this video helped me out big time seriously big time .❤❤❤❤
I never thought of cooking French toast on a griddle. We have a built-in one in the kitchen. I think we used it for hamburgers once.
Great meal! Oh...love the hair. 😊
Beautiful mom. Beautiful family
Another video and I am so happy!! Great work:)
That fruit compote is a great idea! Mom and I are watching our sugar intake and our wallets, but sugar free syrup is SO expensive! But we always have Spenda for coffee and tea and we almost always have apples and even get those and other fruit from the food bank, so a sugar free fruit compote would be much cheaper alternative. Thank you so much for this idea!
Brooke, your hair looks gorgeous. I make blueberry compote for pancakes and french toast (makes me feel fancy😊).
Brooke love your hair! Great video today.
Also your knife skills are so cool. I haven’t learned that yet!
Your hair looks so cute!!

Great video and their reactions are the sweetest. Father’s Day weekend we went to Aldi to shop for the dinner and I was surprised the prices were okay esp right after the 100mil hr winds and storm we had. Hope everyone everywhere is well. Looking forward to the next video sis.
Love your hair!!❤
I love the purple hair dye.
Digging the new hair!
I am happy you included eggs. They are a cheap source of protein and so versatile. Thanks for sharing your vido.

Hi Brooke , Dusty and boys
I loved the French toast yummy 😋 . I love the purple color in your hair . I love how you put these easy recipes together and show us how we too can do it with just a few dollars and few minutes to prepare them . Thank you Brooke , for all your hard work putting these videos together for us. Sending lots of hugs , love , blessings and countless prayers 🙏❤️
Those apples looked soooo good, I made them and put them over regular toast for lunch! Thank you!!
I just love your channel so much
Your family is so sweet!
Lovin' the hair! French toast is so good anytime. Breakfast for dinner great idea. Would have never have thought of using that ham for a meal. Great idea! Thank you for all you do, Brooke. Have a glorious day & be blessed always, Southerland Squad! xoxo
Brooke I love ur new hair cut it looks very good on u and I like the little touch u did to your white or grey. Thanks for this emergency meal video also and all the hard work and thought you put in .
I’ve never heard of fried bananas. Only time I’ve had “sautéed” bananas is with bananas foster ( love that stuff!!). Your hair look cute shorter and will be much easier and cooler for the summer. I cut my hair that short one time and my husband just rolled his eyes😆. He likes long hair and, frankly, so do I. 😊
Brooke you are just plain ingenious and awesome!!❤
I add about a tablespoon of sugar to the mixture and sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Yummy
That looks really delicious!!!
Love your hair 💜
Love your hair!
