I am a 70 yo woman who lives on her own, so...your videos are often not that appropriate for me. HOWEVER, I watch you because of your energy and sense of humor. You clacka me up, Christine!
She has great energy and she is funny ❤
Any of her meals can be frozen in portion sized zip lok bags, flatten, then close. Freezing flat, you can defrost very quickly. 😘
Same🙂
Hi Caudia, I'm 57, and just became an empty nester after my twin daughters graduated college, and moved out-of-state in July, so I totally identify with what you are saying. FFM was the first YT channel I started watching, and wasn't sure if my newly empty-nest brain would still jive, but yep, still loving it! I always feel inspired to save money on groceries, fritter away less money, and work on my fitness when I watch Christine doing all the things. 😍
As a single woman I can totally relate to her channel. In my head I can wrap around how to create the recipes for a family of one so I could have leftovers for the next day.
Christine, we need a new clearance grocery haul where you touch all the things!! 😂
Yes please!
I agree!!!
For the love of God!!!!!!!
My 1 year old heard the alert the only RUclips I allow notifications and came running to watch.
Another Pioneer Woman hint that I use is to add a small pinch of turmeric to chicken stock/ soup. It makes it look more chicken-y because of the yellow coloring.
And really good for you!
I add a teaspoon of Indian curry to my chicken soup. It also has turmeric in it, and it adds a little extra flavor.
DIY your own brown sugar! If your making cookies let’s say and OH NO! your out of brown sugar. So mix 3/4 cup white sugar with one tablespoon molasses and mix with a fork. Use two tablespoons for dark brown sugar. Molasses and brown sugar are a byproduct of making granulated white sugar. TA DA! You are the queen of DIY.
You can mix the leftover turkey and gravy . Put it in a 9x13 put homemade biscuits on top bake until biscuits are done . Granny called it turkey pie !!! It’s good and easy ! You can throw corn , carrots, peas and green beans if you want .
We do this with any leftover chicken, turkey or beef and gravy with any available leftover onions, carrots, peas, beans, green beans. It is the last leftover version and we love it! We call it "hash".
"That's a lot of salt."
*Adds more*
Ive never related to anything on the internet more than this. 😂
I keep chopped cilantro stems in the freezer and add them to the Dominican beans after the peppers are mostly cooked.
Instead of apples, I chop up fresh peaches onto my cinnamon spice oatmeal. YUM!! 😋😋
I vary the fruit too. As I'm sure she does.
YUM!
Yum! Makes me think of Peach Days in Ferron, Ut
Team savory on grits! Plenty of butter, salt and pepper
I am heading to see my daughter who is away at college. I told her I would bring her a treat bag. She asked me to bring her a loaf of your no knead bread. It has become a family favorite and so easy to make.
Not sure which recipe you use but I started making my Dutch oven bread fancier. For an Italian meal I roast a couple bulbs of garlic and chop up some fresh rosemary and add those to the dry ingredients for a garlic rosemary bread. Another iteration is raisin bread. I mix a cup and a half of raisins in lots of cinnamon and a couple tablespoons of sugar then mix it with the dry ingredients. Both breads are yummy!
@@pikayla5749 I've been thinking of something like that, but adding the ingredients I put in from an onion bread recipe. I make it as a substitute for onion Bagels for my hubby.
Oh my daughter would love the rosemary garlic bread. I may have to try that.@@pikayla5749
Hey Christine, how's Hailey doing on her new adventure? Hope all is going well:)
Anything I couldn't think of a name for, I'd just call it "dinner" and give my girls the "Mom eye" and dare them to argue! LOL
Girl, forget the stove; make those oats in your InstantPot! Add some water to the IP liner, then add a trivet. Put your oats with the appropriate amount of water into a heat-resistant bowl (an old round Corningware casserole dish will work perfectly, but so do Pyrex glass bowls). Put the bowl of oats + water on that trivet inside the IP. I typically cook two cups of dry oats for nine minutes, and then wait for the pressure to drop. You can set this up at night on a delay timer, so they are done in the morning when you want to eat them. You are welcome!
One ingredient that goes surprisingly well with chicken salad? Grapes. It is now the only way the kids will eat it.
Also, a cheat for when you use tomato paste: Dole out one tablespoon does onto a sheetpan that you put waxed paper on. Freeze the pan with the dollops of paste. When frozen, put them in a plastic baggie and back in the freezer. Any time you need a tablespoon of tomato paste you just go into the freezer and grab one.
I see your grapes in chicken salad, and I raise you a pinch of curry powder
No it doesn't 🤣😂
@@ccirish4519Yea, that's a good way to ruin chicken salad! I tried it with grapes and it was nasty!
I just picked up a brand new looking Instapot yesterday at Goodwill for $20!
I never thought to scrunch the parchment paper to make it cooperate instead of curling 🤯, mind blown its brilliant! I saw your bread video a while ago and I now scrunch my parchment paper EVERY TIME! Thanks for sharing your simple brilliance!
I love adding dried cranberries and blueberries to my chicken salad along with celery and onion. Sooooo good.
And I love my instantpot. Glad to see I'm not the only one who forgets to plug my pot in then wonder what's wrong with it 😅
Done that
To join your channel is always a pleasure Christine, what have we done to deserve all of this content 🙂
Is there somewhere to get the written recipes? Can't wait to try them!
Sandwiches cut on diagonal taste even better😂
Grits: team savory (butter, salt, cheese). ! great ideas for low cost eatin'! Extra refried beans are great to thicken black bean soup!
I love this video! I wish 20 years ago I had realized the basics of cooking and how to be a little money savvy with groceries.
I fry cabbage with sausage and carrots with soy sauce and sesame oil, serve it over rice. I call it egg roll in a bowl, it’s so good.
Totally psyched about seeing the title of the video…I have been cleaning my pantry this morning….cleaned and organized my chest freezers, and have been processing my veggies from the garden - canning and freezing them..feeling food overwhelmed ..but need ideas for meals..perfect timing…have a great day Christine.
I like how the serving sizes for the meals are reasonable, healthy size plates. So often I see dinner videos where each 'serving' includes 2 or 3 pieces of chicken etc. and mounds of sides, instead of a balanced plate with a single serving of meat alongside the carbohydrate component and veggies etc. I also appreciate that you explain the calories in the total and then the amount per person so that it's clear that those really are normal healthy portions of food and all anyone needs. Not only easier on the wallet but also on our collective waistlines!
I wasn't introduced to grits until my last husband. Definitely team savory with grits.
Brown sugar is simply regular white cane sugar and molasses, I make my own all the time. 1T molasses to 1c. sugar.😊
I love the crunch of the uncooked apple on my oatmeal. So yummy!🍎🍏
Pecans and raisins are really good to put in oatmeal
Poor Dave..... he is missing out!!! Tuna is the BOMB in my opinion. Love all of your videos and ideas ❤❤ Thank you and keep em comin 😊
I have watched so many different you tubers cook beans and all the same way. No one has ever taken beans to make pork & beans! With the sweet pork roast would have been not quite as sweet, but added another level of flavor if you used juice from an orange. Then if your family enjoys the crispy texture they have in restaurants just pan fry it. Also, you could have added barbecue sauce to pork for pulled pork sandwiches…that you could have served with pork & beans, slaw and chips. Then made barbecue nachos and/or used any leftovers to top baked potatoes topped with cheese and can drizzle either with little ranch. Any pieces can be used to make a homemade barbecue pizza. Any leftover pork & beans can be served with a cast iron pan of Mexican Cornbread! Also, I have made a Mexican Casserole from leftover ground breakfast sausage, rice, leftover cheese dip, rotel or fire roasted tomatoes, cheddar cheese and/ or Mexican blend cheese. I just threw a bunch of things had left in my pantry and what little protein I had leftover and turned it into a 13x9” casserole. Did you know if you do not have tomato sauce or puréed tomatoes you can use a can of tomato soup. Also, carrots can be turned into cream of carrot & ginger soup. Swirl a tablespoon of sour cream or plain yogurt and it is delicious…especially served with some of your beautiful crusty bread and a green salad. Just some ideas.😊
I found an off brand Instantpot (basically the same thing) at a thrift store for like $10. The seal was damaged, new seal was like $10 at the time. So, $20 and a good cleaning and it works. I need to get back to using it. I've only ever made potatoes in it which turned out delicious.
I'm English and we always have chilli on rice with garlic bread. The best. We also love it on baked potatoes.
one of my favorite recipe for dips: Dill Cheese dip: 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 tsp. dill chopped, tomato wedges, cauliflower florets and potato chips
Recipe Instructions: Put in your bender container of cottage cheese, blend until consistency is creamy! Stir in dill. Let stand overnight. Serve with tomato wedge and cauliflower florets or potato chips
You can also save bacon grease in your fridge and use that in the place of shortening in the biscuits.
This very quickly became a game of "can I name that episode" haha!
I add yogurt to the pancake mix all the time. Even syrup. I have added directly to the batter. Great flavor. I add and doctor mixes up and my kids always eat them and like them.
We have oatmeal most mornings. For us I do a 'heart healthy' serving which is a serving and a half. Over the years I've found that an easy mostly hands off way to cook it on high with a lid on for 6 minutes, give it a stir and then 6 minutes on low, with the lid on and give it a stir at the end. Your time and temps may need tweaking, but having it mostly easy means we have it all the time.
That was AMAZING!!! Well done! I will have to write a lot of these down! One thing, though… WASH YOUR RICE!!! ALWAYS WASH YOUR RICE!!!!!!!!!!! 🗣️💙💙💙
I made the bread with wheat flour (adding a little more liquid until it looked right as I've read it's necessary to do with that flour) and added the everything but the seasoning on top and OMG IT IS SO GOOD. It takes everything in me to not eat the entire loaf in one sitting. I'm really loving this newfound freedom with homecooked foods I'm finding as of late, thank you so much for everything you do!!!!
I personally love the time and effort you spend to make new and creative ways to stretch the dollar. Helps me keep it fresh in the kitchen. Love your channel!
Portion your leftover pork, etc into muffin tins and freeze. They are portion controlled, pop out easily, and store well in freezer bags.
"Slumgulian" was what my mother called a dish that was a bunch of leftovers combined.
My mom called it Slumgullion too😂I thought she made it up!
We call ours 'mush pot' 😅
Good morning, Christine! Yay, I love videos from you, so thanks for sharing.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Many thank you’s for all you do and putting these all together! Due to the smoke from fires,it choked out our blossoms for our pumpkin crops. This is our bread and butter so to speak, leaving us without that income and loss and then having to save extra to afford to plant next year. All great tips and using so many of these recipes, it won’t feel like we are on a tight budget while giving up so much else in life! Help keep our bellies full and our minds even more to feeling positive ❤
El platillo de frijoles con pollo y salsa verde, cambia el pollo por carne picada y va a ser Carne en su jugo asi se llama en Mexico, agrega cilantro saludos
I grew up in Texas also and I am TEAM SAVORY for the grits. Add some cheese and my heart melts.
I’m glad we started gardening 3 years ago so that all year we have had green peppers etc. I highly recommend growing what you can! Even in an apartment you can still grow a container garden! We have discovered that we love cherry tomatoes in just about everything for that acidic pop and a pop of color. All of these recipes look delicious
They can be grown year around same plant
Christine my chicken salad chicken basil oregano salad topper mix with cranberries (walmart) carrots celery onions.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you and your efforts to help all of us in these trying times. My small budget and I thank you for all of your helpful videos!❤
Back beans with 1 or more chipotle peppers in adobo sauce--super good, super cheap. Freeze the rest of the peppers.
So many recipe ideas for these chilly fall evenings! Seasoned chicken leg quarters .99/lb this coming week at kroger, looking forward to prepping and freezing some wholesome warming meals 🥰
I find that soup of any kind is the best budget tip. Soup can be ANYTHING! Everything looks amazing! Thanks for some great tips.
I've watched a lot of videos of different young ladies. You're the only one I watch now because you just talk and there's no fooling around and you get right to the point. I really enjoy your content of your RUclips channel. Thank you for taking the time to put out great videos
Yay! Thank you!
My inner Guatemalan shed a tear for your black bean/egg taco. BRAVO
What do you think about better than bullion? I’ve used it for a few years and I actually really like all the flavors! It lasts forever in the fridge too!
Steel cut and old fashioned oats are less processed than quick oats, too. I always go for them when I can.
When you said its going to be an hour and a half i was soooo happy😂❤
RIGHT?!?! Who doesn't love 90 minutes of Christine? ❤❤❤
Yes a new video ❤❤ I always get happy to see your notifications 💗 May not always get to watch the video right away but trust me I do watch! ❤
When you are making porridge ( oatmeal), add salt. It needs to be enough to taste but not make it salty. The difference in flavour is amazing
I always cook the apple in with the oats, lovely!
Just realized how much i enjoy watching your lovely family eat your meals when you ar finished. Thats usually included in your videos or at least you eating it with your thoughts 😊. Love your videos!
"Down below in the dublido" miss u saying that!!!
I agree with Cylin about passing on the cooked carrots
Omg.....! How did you know that I wash the laundry & dishes when I'm watching & learning from you...? 😂 totally love you! & some of your meals my family can't live without now. ✅
Omg over an hour of NEW CHRISTINE?! YASSSSSS
Like your cooking videos a lot.
I love that you are flexible cooking and always able to use (up) what ever you have.
I use brown sugar in my oatmeal
One way you can make your life easier is a little prep. When I get home from the grocery store I cook all the meat ahead of time for spaghetti, tacos, soups, etc. it saves me so much time and dishes
When I make tacos, I add half a can of refried beans to the beef 👍💯
Do you have a video on how to cook steel cut oats? My husband loves oatmeal I can't stand the texture😅
Great stories, as always Cindy! And yes, in our family myself and 2 siblings have always enjoyed the stories that our "boomer" parents shared! Like the Helms delivery trucks, or seeing the Beatles on Sullivan, to my gramma, "silent generation", and her stories of the piano player at the movies! So glad she would make my sister and I watch The Lawrence Welk Show (at that time it was TORTURE!!!) Now with my son sharing my time growing up in the 70' n 80', like the "odd/even" days to buy gas or MTV, riding in the bed of my dads truck...Good times!❤❤❤❤
Oatmeal with crunchy apples is everything!!! ❤
Wow!! 1.5 hours of Christine 👏
Some great ideas! Thanks!
GM. Great ideas but my hub would laugh at servings that small. But I can see if ya really can’t afford more. ❤❤❤. And I know that’s the idea.
That was awesome!! - Thank you!
Thank you ❤your videos!
I just made a large purchase and was looking to cut my grocery budget down for a while honestly so perfect timing
Love your channel!
Will be on a strict budget for the next few weeks. Good timing :)
Love the longer videos! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Grits with butter, salt, and pepper. Yum. Alabama here.
😍🧐Wow, you had some older videos of meals in this marathon. I could tell because it was your old countertops in a lot of the shots. Love your white countertops, so the change was very drastic.
Also, I saw some of the old items you have decluttered in other videos.
Still loved the video. Helped get there all the dishes.
Having four cans of Amy’s soup in a recipe blows my mind because those cans are five dollars each where I live so that was a 20+ dollar batch of chili
This was amazing! Been waiting for something like this! ❤ Tysm!
Definitely trying some of these recipes!
My coworker just gifted me an Instant Pot that she was given because she was too afraid to use it! The first meal I plan on making is a Chili Mac to gift to her and her family as a thank you.
Love this video thanks ❤😊
tmeal with Sweetened Condensed Milk . Yum.
So good and helpful!
Longest video and LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! That took a lot of time Christine, thank you! ♥Recipes rocked!! If you know how to cook, like you and I do, your like dang.... thank you again! ♥
Loved this going to try them all!!!
THANKS SO MUCH!!!❤😂
You are such a creative cook!!
I like to put maple flavoring instead of vanilla in my pancakes.
Good video! Great tips, good meals!
