Girl, please don’t apologize for not uploading! It’d rather you not get burned out. Ps I LOVE your videos. Your creativity has sparked my own and I find myself taking my lunch to work everyday and getting creative with the food we already have at home. It’s personally saved me a lot of money!!! Thank you for all your hard work!
I think it's important to pack fun foods when you travel. If you don't, everyone else's food looks good and you suddenly find yourself going out to eat. A+ effort. I hope your hotel manager isn't a subscriber🤣🤣🤣
When I was in college we used to pit slices 9f cheese between two pieces of bread, wrap it in wax paper and iron it to make grilled cheese sandwiches since we couldn't cook in our room. Good memories.
It was really cool getting to meet you in person! Thank you for being so sweet about a random awkward person stopping to say hi in the mad rush of comic con 😅
If you cook with the iron, put parchment paper between the sandwich and the iron. Also, sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts are a good combo for sandwiches.
So I was taught to wrap sandwiches differently. Not that it makes any difference of course, but thought I would share. Instead of straight squares, turn them to the side as diamonds. Set the sandwich closer to one corner, roll it and the paper together toward the opposite corner. Then fold the other corners under tucking them in themselves.
@@CarolgTX actually I think my uncle taught me and he was a short order cook in the Army in the Korean War. We are east coast people, but if he learned it in the military it could have been from anyone.
Please never apologize for not posting, you don’t owe us anything! We all jsut appreciate what you do for us! This is such a great idea btw, my sister gets a sbux sandwich and drink every day she works and preparing her own would save her so much money! Also: I had a roll of sausage that I needed to use so I stuck it in the oven all flattened out as I watched you do it! Thank you for your videos, but please take time for yourself!
For the Mickey D's toasted consistency .. . Pull apart the muffing and flip the insides out and toast. That way the insides are the toasted side and the outsides are untoasted so it's like Mickey D's when you eat it.
I don't know if anyone has commented this but they make hot lunch boxes that you can charge in your room/home the night before then you can set a timer for it to begin warming up so your food is hot when you want it without needing to plug it in at the time of heating.
Great video! I travel a lot and always try to take some sort of premade food when traveling by car, train, or bus. On planes, I at least try to take well wrapped tuna pouches, seasonings in small zip bags, crackers, etc. The trick with the english muffin and sub sandwiches is to lightly toast the muffins and rolls. Then the microwave and iron tricks work perfectly.
Have you ever tried a chicken salad with the canned chicken? Like maybe a dressing or mayo, with a nut, craisins - something like that? I am watching this and eating the Cranberry Almond chicken from Aldi's. I only get it as an occasional treat because of the cost, but by watching you, I think it could be made for much less. It could be a great Dollar Tree recipe.
Randomly your channel popped up as a suggestion a couple days ago... I've probably watched about half of your whole catalog already😂😂😂 I really appreciate the work you have put into these videos. I'm not a creative person at all with the only exception being that while I can't create a recipe I do enjoy taking a recipe and molding it into what I like. Anyways my point is your channel is great for this and you mention it often. I've already bought ingredients from different videos to make the next weeks worth of meals. Special shoutout I paid like $22 for all week based off what I already had and what i bought inspired by you. So many great ideas! And the 1st meal I made was that simple ham and cheese with soup. I live in Phoenix so I didn't do the soup but I added some BBQ to my ham/cheese mixture before putting it in the oven. And had some more bbq for dipping and damn was it good lol Thank you very much for the content, keep up the great work but on your own schedule don't feel the pressure to put out content. Ok no more rambling from me lmao
Ok love how you made the breakfast sandwiches. I never thought of just baking the sausage and especially the eggs. What a time saver and clean up is much easier!.
LOVE YOU!!! Just made your ravioli lasagna last night and it was delicious! Also bought the dollar tree garlic bread and was shocked how good it was. God bless!
There is no need to apologize about the wait between videos. Take your time. Love your content no matter how long g it takes. Wish I would have found you sooner, to be honest. Lol.
I love meal preparing for travel. Simple. Cheaper. Convenient. We even have a small cooler for drinks. Hubby loves sausage egg and cheese english muffins. You always are prepared.
The breakfast sandwich idea is brilliant! I'm retired now, but I wish I'd seen this while I was actively working. As far as chopping your eggs for salad, try using a pastry cutter; chops them quickly and finely.
Your videos are high quality and definitely worth the wait. I tried the Spanish rice from Dollar Tree. It was so yummy. I did kick it up with the jalapeno Velveeta cheese packet I found at Dollar Tree. I went back and bought four more of each. It still comes out cheeper than going out to eat.
Okay so this is the second video of yours Ive seen, only to discover you are gonna be a vendor at a comicon. Meaning you're probs a nerd, meaning i appreciate you even more. Also funny that its in Hampton, where my niece moved literally the same day your released this video. You have gained a fan 😂
My grand daughter got to go to Roanoke for that ComicCon a couple of months ago. She loved it!!! She’s a huge anime fan and Legos so she was thrilled!!! I love your videos so much! I just found you a couple of weeks ago and have just binged your videos!!!!❤
I think you subs should turn out really good. When I was in college, we used to make grilled cheese sandwiches wrapped in foil with an iron. They came out really good.
We have always taken food to the cons we have attended. I now do it because both of us have had bariatric surgery and are gluten-free. So it makes sense to do it.
Just an idea for the strong flavor of the sundried tomatoes...maybe you can mix it with mayo or cream cheese then use that mix on your bread?? Just a thought lol I've never actually tried it!
The iron should work. The Brother's Green, now Pro Home Cooks, way back when both brothers were doing that youtube channel, had a series of meals made in a hotel room. Josh, I think, did use an iron to press sandwiches in foil and it worked pretty good.
Good luck at the convention. Glad to see another video tho. More people people should bring their lunches to at least help the budget. But I do have ti say I would be disappointed if you gave me a pb and j sandwich with such skimpy insides lol. I like to really take the pb and j, just me. Love those containers. Great idea to cut the sun-dried tomatoes. Have a great weekend.
I love Starbucks as well but I have changed how often I go and what I order. This started shortly before covid as I used to complete their weekly and weekend promos and challenges but it just became too busy and too expensive to keep up with it. The stores closed for awhile or had limited hours during covid so it was nice that my stars were frozen as per their policy. I have noticed though over the last 6 months they have changed their hours again, so they close about 2 hours earlier on weekends and holidays. Their prices have for sure gone up and not by a lot, so between .40 to $1.00 over the last year but if you look at a receipt from before covid, it's about $2 more per item now. Their venti and trenta drinks were about $6-7 before and now are about $8-9 each unless you just get an iced tea. I usually only go a few times a month and I save my stars for the expensive stuff. I rarely purchase anything big there unless it's a really good offer and I get a lot of stars for it as most of the offers are like 70 stars if you go six days in a row or 20 stars for 3 separate orders on a weekend.
What a fantastic idea for a video! I've seen so many of these meal planning videos from tons of people and I ADORE them, but I've never seen one like this. Great job! I'm a fairly new subscriber, so I wanted to leave a comment with props :)
I ❤❤❤❤❤ your videos I wish I would have found you before! I have used several of your ideas for lunches for work and have told everyone to watch your videos! You think of stuff I would never think of! Keep doing what you do!! 🤗
I’m having all kinds of flashbacks to my last job across from a ⭐️💵, thank you! A bit odd as I hate coffee, but I’d get my coworkers hot chocolate the first real cold day each year and enjoyed their toasted sandwiches in winter and cold boxes in summer (you’re right, though, I never bought the pb&j). Good on you for using your experience there to make tasty meals and save some money.
@@DollarTreeDinners lol 😀 now I feel old. I'm 2002 I also had one for 8th grade which is what I plan to do with this. Also I have an amazing idea for you on an upcoming video I'd love to see your take on. I'll tag you once I post it. 👍 **Also thank you I should have added this 😀
Omg, never knew how they wrap the breakfast sandwiches! I only know how to do burritos lol, learned something new. Cracking up at ironing a sandwich. Definitely curious to see how that goes. Have a great show!
When I used to go to tabletop gaming conventions I packed a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jam, baby carrots, celery (roughage good), apples, and bananas. That worked for me. Easy to fix at whatever hour and way cheaper. I'm not a soggy sandwich person. Today I would precook bacon as well.
Try adding about 2t of sugar to your egg salad. It has been the way my family grew up eating it, and it's delicious! Just a little sugar, changes the whole flavor. I add sugar to my devilled eggs and egg and potato, potato salad, just add mayo (I use miracle whip..grew up that way), mustard and sugar, with a little salt n pepper. I use yellow potatoes with very thin skins, so I leave the skins on, and I cube the potato before boiling them. Saves so much time in cooking, and it's way easier to tell they're done.
If you put the eggs in the baking dish whole instead of scrambled when it comes out you chop it up till it looks like egg salad size. It was viral on TikTok last year.
Get one the battery jumpers that have a plug on it and just use that in about 2hrs you will have hit food and the battery pack will still be plenty charged
Alot of those electric lunch boxes are car charging because they were originally created for truckers, and people who spend slot of time on the road. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.
Oh no, that’s unfortunate. But they do have ones that hold charge. They also have battery operated ones, that you charge before hand that last up to 12 hours I believe. And it would be a bit of an investment, but they also have solar charged battery packs that have multiple charging ports. Just something to think about. Your ideas are incredible. And they go a long way. So I can only imagine what you would come up with if your horizon was widened. I completely understand it not currently being an option. But Amazon really does have dozens of different affordable options to choose from. Maybe take a look and see if there is something you’d like for the future. I love watching your videos, and much appreciate your creativity ❤️❤️
I appreciate you and your channel so much! You are incredibly creative, and you have cheap easy kid loved, tested, and approved meals. And that’s truly appreciated from this busy momma of five. Thank you!❤️😌🥰
The sandwiches all look great. I think the Panini will work fine. I just think most Panini sandwiches have cheese in them. That’s kind of the point of heating them up to melt the cheese. I’m sure that will be good just like it is as well. I hope you enjoyed your trip. Thank you for all the ideas on your videos.
thanks for the love and reply my beautiful can't wait to see more of you my beautiful friend love your videos I would like to see what you look like with out a counter in front of you see your body if that would be possible thanks again love you
These are some great ideas! The sandwiches look delicious (especially the PB & J...I usually use a serrated knife and a sawing motion to cut my sandwiches in half though, but that's just because I don't like the pinch point that pressure slicing the bread creates).
when I was in High school we could get a double decker PBnJ and thats still my preferred way to make them, I add a slice of american cheese most of the time as well... I LOVE egg salad but really dislike egg whites, for the longest time I mashed the boiled eggs to a deviled egg type consistency but then I found out you can microwave scrambled eggs, it didnt take long to find out you can add cheese or sausage or what ever and from there... adding mayo was a no brainer.. no boiling eggs, no peeling, just beat to death then nuke one minute per egg, stirring every minute... more than 6 eggs you can reduce the time.. Ive cooked with an iron numerous times but nothing as big as those sandwiches, things like grilled cheese or left over pizza, reheating McD's cheeseboogers etc, it will be interesting to know if it works... maybe a short or 3....
@@kitkat2263 how do you describe a taste.. I know it sounds odd but I think its tasty. The sandwich has all the primary food groups, nuts/grains, fruit/veg and dairy
Looks so good. Do you have 99 cents stores where you live? They sell fresh produce and I’m curious to see if it would be cheaper. They all raised their prices too though due to inflation but I hear they have an 18 pack of eggs for $1.99
I just recently found your videos and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these meals. You are such an amazing woman. Can I say this though? That tiny little white string keeps bugging me though lol. Like, in my mind, my hand is trying to sneak up over the countertop to pluck that thing off. Anyhow! Keep doing what you do cause I love it and you just got another subscriber. 🎉
Do you pre-toast the English muffins? I've watched several videos of breakfast sandwich prep using English muffins, and you never mention pre-toasting. I love breakfast sandwiches, too, but i could never eat an untoasted English muffin. I know they don't stay crispy when doing a premade sandwich, but I think always toasting them makes a difference in flavor. Thank you for so many great ideas!

Haha I hope not but at the same time I’m sure it’s fine 😂 I know they probably anticipate that not everyone is going to eat out all the time
@@DollarTreeDinners good luck at Comic-Con
I guess I'm lucky we just always ate out at different places which was part of the fun of the trip.
I mash my eggs with a fork 😉
When I was in college we used to pit slices 9f cheese between two pieces of bread, wrap it in wax paper and iron it to make grilled cheese sandwiches since we couldn't cook in our room. Good memories.
Bring parchment paper for the sandwiches you plan on using the iron on to prevent sticking to iron. Just a tip from experience.
It was really cool getting to meet you in person! Thank you for being so sweet about a random awkward person stopping to say hi in the mad rush of comic con 😅
Thank you for stopping by! I absolutely love meeting my followers and it means the absolute world to me that you took time out of your day to say hi!
If you cook with the iron, put parchment paper between the sandwich and the iron.
Also, sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts are a good combo for sandwiches.
And sliced black olive 🫒.

Set the sandwich closer to one corner, roll it and the paper together toward the opposite corner. Then fold the other corners under tucking them in themselves.
I’ll try that! I started wrapping them like this at first to imitate the fast food experience at home haha
Do you live on the west coast or west of midline USA? I have lived on both coasts and find the square method is east , and the diamond method is west.

A pastry blender works great for chopping eggs for egg salad, too 😊
It also works on olives, pickles, and mushrooms.

These are some great ideas! The sandwiches look delicious (especially the PB & J...I usually use a serrated knife and a sawing motion to cut my sandwiches in half though, but that's just because I don't like the pinch point that pressure slicing the bread creates).
Sorry about my last comment I replied to the wrong one! I cut the egg salad kind of sawing because it was so full I knew I’d squeeze it all out haha
@@DollarTreeDinners That's a good point...the filling can definitely make a difference as to which way to cut it! 😀
Hooray!! Missed ya!!❤
Great idea - to add a kick to your egg salad real bacon 🥓 bits for flavorsnd protein😊
Take aluminum foil to help warm your sandwich.
when I was in High school we could get a double decker PBnJ and thats still my preferred way to make them, I add a slice of american cheese most of the time as well... I LOVE egg salad but really dislike egg whites, for the longest time I mashed the boiled eggs to a deviled egg type consistency but then I found out you can microwave scrambled eggs, it didnt take long to find out you can add cheese or sausage or what ever and from there... adding mayo was a no brainer.. no boiling eggs, no peeling, just beat to death then nuke one minute per egg, stirring every minute... more than 6 eggs you can reduce the time.. Ive cooked with an iron numerous times but nothing as big as those sandwiches, things like grilled cheese or left over pizza, reheating McD's cheeseboogers etc, it will be interesting to know if it works... maybe a short or 3....
You add a slice of American to the PB&J? What does that taste like?
@@kitkat2263 how do you describe a taste.. I know it sounds odd but I think its tasty. The sandwich has all the primary food groups, nuts/grains, fruit/veg and dairy
It's actually quite popular in polish communities. Also to dip grilled cheese in Grape jelly. It gives you that whole sweet and salty combo.
did you know the turkey pesto sandwich as Starbucks actually has roasted red peppers rather than sun dried tomatoes?
Love your videos
ENJOY YOURSELVES
Looks so good. Do you have 99 cents stores where you live? They sell fresh produce and I’m curious to see if it would be cheaper. They all raised their prices too though due to inflation but I hear they have an 18 pack of eggs for $1.99
I wish I would love to check one out, they are only in 4 states sadly
Loved your food ideas. I wonder if a waffle iron would brown up a sandwich ?
She's back. 🙌🥰
I would def like more prep meals ideas like this. (Im new so if you have a playlist sry)
food lion has a double your money back on produce. I once took a $5 bag of cuties back because they tasted like water and they gave me $10 back!
I just recently found your videos and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these meals. You are such an amazing woman. Can I say this though? That tiny little white string keeps bugging me though lol. Like, in my mind, my hand is trying to sneak up over the countertop to pluck that thing off. Anyhow! Keep doing what you do cause I love it and you just got another subscriber. 🎉
If you get lackluster grapes again: rinse them, toss them with a koolaid packet or two, then freeze.
Your own little waffle iron is small. I think I’d pack that or a smaller slow cooker to heat
Great ideas!!
I would put a 3rd ½ sandwich in the boxes or something salty like pretzels
Do you pre-toast the English muffins? I've watched several videos of breakfast sandwich prep using English muffins, and you never mention pre-toasting. I love breakfast sandwiches, too, but i could never eat an untoasted English muffin. I know they don't stay crispy when doing a premade sandwich, but I think always toasting them makes a difference in flavor. Thank you for so many great ideas!
