      I have been going through your menus, I have to change my diet. Foods to Eat with Acid Reflux Diet.
      I have changed my diet several times, out of all this, having Low Stomach Acid, Erosion Esophagus and GERD,
      one of the worse changes I have ever done. The G.I. Specialists doesn't give the patient a guideline, to be honest,
      they throw the patient to the wolves. Everyday there's thousands of people who ends up with this, who's going
      through a lot, Mentally, Physically, Stress and Anxiety. They are in pain. *I don't wish this on anybody*
      You can be at any age.

      Yes all this is great looks amazing but I can’t eat a lot of salt, no dairy and not much sauce. Once in awhile I can do sauces but not often. I have acid reflux which is terrible and if I eat certain things with too much salt I feel like I’m having a heart attack. It’s not just salt either. What about people like my dad that can’t have salt, dairy or gluten these videos would be great.

    • @FlowerGemsGirl
      @FlowerGemsGirl Год назад +24

      I deal with depression too, and yep it is hard as heck to make oneself get up and eat something good for them. I finally turned on Food Network or a cooking video on my RUclips and pretended to be the chef! I would even talk out loud to an audience (my cats) or just out loud to nobody and would walk my make believe crew through the steps. By the end, I’d really get into the acting! Even when I took a first bite, I’d describe it to my “camera”. Then I’d get so into eating, I’d have no more talking but it would make me feel a whole lot better to eat and eat something good that I made myself! Hope this helps you too!!

      I am 52. Mother of four and I have been there. Life is difficult. I would encourage you to walk. Everyday. Cold or not. It helped me so much. Light candles, turn in music while you cook. Read, drink tea, take a bath. Do the things that bring you joy, even if you’re faking it at the moment. Get up early. These things sound funny, but they work. Your comment touched me. You are worth feeling good. I wish you peace.

      I find that depending on your area its always hit and miss with pricing. Im lucky in the fact that aldi, kroger, and walmart are all on the same strip back to my house so i price match. Couponing helps also 😅

    • @duaneowens7777

      great comment. Which part of cnada are you from. Heard groceries in canada are so expensive

    • @specialtwice4975
      @specialtwice4975 Год назад

      They are expensive. For a single person you could make it on $150 per month. BUT you would have to budget, budget, budget and eat meals like these constantly.
      $250 is a better budget for a single person.
      For a family of 4 (2 parents, 2 kids) you could maybe get by with $400 but again, you'll be extreme budgeting.
      I've heard families spend usually $600 to $800 per month on average, and that was for an ok budget. Not great, not amazing, just alright. Medium income type.
      Most expensive foods in Canada right now are cheese and meat.
      Cheese is anywhere from $5 to $12.
      (The ricotta cheese in her first recipe would be $8, the brick cheese would be $5).
      Meat is $10 to $25 each, depending where you live.

    • @specialtwice4975
      @specialtwice4975 Год назад

      Btw the sausage in her last recipe would be $7, the rice package $4.

  • @littleredcabininthewoods240

    Love all your recipes! I add spinach to a lentil soup/stew I make but a whole bag is too much, so I use the other half in my manicotti or stuffed shell cheese mixture. It bulks up the mixture and allows me to fill the shells fuller, thus giving me more servings at very little cost.

    • @JuliaPacheco
      @JuliaPacheco  Год назад +8

      That’s a great idea! Thanks so very much for sharing that. Spinach can go a long way for sure. Hope you have a great rest your week🙌🏼

  • @heathersmeather
    @heathersmeather Год назад +39

    I think I’ve seen you use the diced tomatoes with add-ins, like Italian style, green peppers and celery, chili ready, etc. Sometimes I find two 14.5 oz cans of tomatoes with extras is cheaper than buying celery, onion, and seasonings. It’s also a quick shortcut to add extra flavor. 🙂

    • @JuliaPacheco
      @JuliaPacheco  Год назад +3

      Yes! That is an excellent tip. That definitely does cut costs and adds a lot of flavor at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing that and thank you so much for watching🙌🏼

    I really appreciate how easy your recipes are. I am a retired nurse who had to retire because of chronic medical issues and chronic pain. I struggle to stand for long periods to prep a meal so I was eating a lot of prepared soups and cereal. Neither the greatest for sodium. Your meals are easy to make and most can be scaled down to 1 or 2 servings. And they taste good. If you have the space, it’s even more economical to stock up on canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, chilies, and mushrooms when you find them n sale. Shelf life is really good.

    • @JuliaPacheco
      @JuliaPacheco  Год назад +2

      While I don't pre cook my shells I do let them sit in a bake dish of hot water for about 5 minutes prior to stuffing. I have also used a cup of beef broth in addition to any sauce I use to ensure it has enough liquid to cook the pasta through.(when I'm lazy and don't soak my pasta)

    Everything looks delicious and with such minimal ingredients! I love it! I made a really delicious chicken 1 pot Friday night that was so easy, I had some leftover peas,so I made some egg noodles, shredded chicken I had on hand and put about half a cup of olive garden Italian dressing in and it was so good! I love putting leftover peas in a pasta salad and I just thought that sounded good and it was. My husband and son devoured it! Have a blessed week Julia! 💕
