My budget tip - I keep a big bottle of lemon juice concentrate in my fridge for when a recipe calls for fresh squeezed lemons. It’s not quite as good no but it does the trick and a big bottle lasts forever. I reserve buying fresh lemons for something special like to go with fried fish. Plus lemon juice concentrate is a great thing to have on hand for adjusting the seasoning of a dish. Sometimes when a dish is missing something, I’ll add a splash of it and voila! Instantly better!
I always appreciate the desserts thrown in! i have teenagers who love dessert and is honestly does stretch the meals, control snacks late at night bc they’ll Klee more full and have already had a “treat” and makes them happy. I buy the 1$ cake/brownie mix and frosting all the time and it’ll last 3-4 days and everyone who wants can have a slice after dinner and there are so many varieties/variations. I can handle 5$ extra a week to have some dessert on hand most nights
I agree! So much we can do with a cake mix or box brownie, right? Lots of possibilities.
Another very simple inexpensive salad that everyone goes nuts for is a cucumber onion salad. 2 cucumbers ,half of an onion, cider vinegar ,sugar salt pepper and maybe a little bit of celery seed if you have it. Every time I bring this to a party it’s demolished. Cut the cucumbers thin.
My mom calls that fridge pickles, or something like that.
I grew up eating this and also make it for my family now, we called it fridge pickles and we used white vinegar.
Dessert may not be 'essential' but if we only ate essentials, we would live on vegetables and water! A cake is always a good idea! Thank you for the video!
I loved this 🙂 also in a pinch the aquafaba from the chick peas could be used in the corn bread in place of the egg
The Mediterranean bowl looks like a great meal for summer! I always forget about bowls. They are perfect because people can add what they like and leave out what they don’t.
Double the corn bread recipe and add a can of creamed corn. Yum!
Your struggles with the pudding box and mixer was so stinking relatable. We've all been there.
I’m glad I am not the only one who can’t get some of the boxes and bags open sometimes! Lol. 🤣.
You’re not alone!
If you added some kalamata olives, some red onion, oregano and feta cheese to the tomatoes and cucumber and used olive oil and red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar u would have traditional Greek salad. Great recipes!
Thanks for the tips!
You are right! No lettuce in traditional Greek salad! I asked for lettuce in Greece in June and they said it wasn’t in “season.” 😀
I have a Greek Son inlaw and many Greek friends so yes absolutely right no romaine lettuce in traditional Greek salad and actually u should use goat cheese instead of feta if u want to keep it truly authentic.
@@kimthomson3761 I am full Greek and no lettuce... Add the feta and put some parsley , dill, and lemon over the sauce to add more flavor. Greek bowls sound interesting since I am doing low carb food thanks
We make a chicken and green chile soup like that but serve quesadillas! The cornbread is a great, frugal idea!!
These meals really hit all the boxes: easy, inexpensive, and delicious! I can’t imagine the amount of time, thought, and planning that goes into these videos, and how you continue to come up with these meal plans using the same ingredients across multiple meals, but I’m glad to be a recipient! Especially love your Walmart meals because that’s my main store. I love aldi but don’t get there as often. Happy spring to you all and God bless your family!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words. I do try to be intentional in bringing helpful videos to the channel. :)
Followed your lead during Holy week & laid-off the social media 🙌 Made for many opportunities to bond w/ the family & reflect on the holiday! What a wonderful Lent season this yr, but....can't lie....I missed you🙂😊
Thanks so much! Glad it was a good week for you. It was a great week for us, too.
Love your easy recipes. Activities are here.i refuse to spend fifty dollars at McDonald's. I love that I get new recipes from you. Sometimes you get stuck in cooking 😊
Thank you so much for watching, Janet! Glad I can give some ideas. :)
That Mediterranean bowl looks fantastic ! So does the cake ! Thank you for the fabulous ideas !
I love that you are REAL in your cooking. I love watching all of your videos. I get inspired by your recipes and little life tips. Thank you! ❤
Small tip , tomato - cucumber salad, add some feta cheese, real meditation European salad ❤
I love the ground turkey and chickpea bowl! All the veggies! It says “Summer is on the way!” Thank you so much! 🌻☀️
Summer is in indeed on the way! 😎
I like your strawberry cake recipe! If you have leftover strawberries and some muscavado sugar laying around, try strawberry milk. I slice up the strawberries in pieces, mix the muscavado sugar with it, and let it sit in the fridge. Then, just add half strawberry and the rest with milk.
sounds delicious!
Will regular sugar and honey work?
@@chuckyaruss1627 Of course. You can use sugar and drizzle of honey mixed with the strawberries. You can add a bit of lemon juice for zest if you want.
We had a strawberry jello poke cake with our Easter dinner yesterday! Old family favorite! :)
I’m a veggie and still find your content relevant. I just sub in vegan proteins/dairy. Thank you for another great video! 😀
I had NO idea Aldi had ground turkey in the frozen section!!! Great tip.
Im trying to save money and avoid grocery store. But i went today and found great deals catfish $.99ib, 80/20 ground beef $2.5ib, 12oz bacon $2.50.
thank you for that poke cake recipe! my godmother always makes it for holidays but she calls it something else and her recipe got lost in my family's cupboards, so I could never find a way to make it.
There are lots of versions on Pinterest you might find something more similar.
Nothing more real than not being able to open the box of pudding or forgetting to plug in the hand mixer, welcome to my kitchen, lol. Thanks for keeping it real!! 🙂🙃 Great ideas and video, definitely helps to see ideas like these, especially with grocery prices right now.
Thanks! We try to keep it real here, as you know. Lol
@@SeeMindyMom You're welcome 🙂
The beef flavored better than bullion added to ground turkey helps too.
The Greek inspired bowl is something I never would have thought of doing. I actually have everything to make the sour cream sauce, so that's exciting. Thank you!
Man! Your family had a lot of good eats this week! I love that you did it on a budget too. Yes, yes, yes to the gyro bowls! 😋
I enjoy starting my day with your positive videos. I appreciate the time and effort that you put into these. I always enjoy them.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Love your content!
Totally going to be making those Greek bowls, they look awesome! And good for kids that might not want all the ingredients mixed together, they can top with what they like.
Thank you for the video!
Great video very helpful
The soup looks yummy!
I want every single one of these meals. Great video.
Awesome meal plan
As you made the tomato and cucumber salad, my oldest daughter turned to me and said "It's Bob and Larry!"
Good for you and that sponsorship! Get it girl!!
I’m so excited for this video, i’ve missed the cooking videos SOOOOOOO much!!!! I wish you would continue to do more.
Great video, once again. Great ideas.
God bless all here.
I love your suggestions and find your honesty so refreshing and inspirational! Great ideas!
Thank you!
The 'Greek' bowls look amazing!! I love tzaziki sauce and sometimes it can be hard to find, so thanks for the inspo for making my own!
I made the strawberry poke cake for Easter dessert! It is always a hit!
Mouth watering recipes 😊
Those Mediterranean bowls look amazing! I am going to have to try those! I love getting take out from Taziki's and now I can make it at home!
My family does enjoy dumplings so 2 options to try. I use crockpot at least 2 times a week. Our schedule gets crazy at times and the crockpot has my back! Strawberry poke cake love making that! Love your videos,and your efforts at keeping it real!👍
Mindy has the best dimples! Just sayin 😂🎉
Still cooks very good. I like the color of the soup sauce
Mindy and family have a great week have fun thanks from Oklahoma
Thank you! You too!
Doing a “Berry first birthday” theme for my daughters bday in June. That cake recipe looks perfect! I wonder if I could even make it into individual portions 🤔 thanks for the idea!
Always look forward to your videos.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for watching, Gina!
Come on, Mindy, you don't look a day over 29, Happy Belated Birthday!
The Mediterranean bowl looked SO good! Thank you so much for some fresh ideas!❤
Glad I could give some ideas!
I make jello cake all the time. I’ve never made it with the pudding mix before though. I just “frosted” with cool whip.
It’s really refreshing in the summer!
You had me dying when you were trying to get a fork full of food at the end. I was rooting for you! 😂
Everything looks delicious and easy to make. Thanks!!
Thanks, Michelle!
Hi Mindy I love your easy and delicious desserts thanks so much for sharing and being so positive and encouraging in what you do it’s greatly appreciated 😊👍
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! :)
Always love it when you cook
Thanks!
I cant wait to make the last dinner it looks so good I made your cucumber chick pea with the small pasta and it was a hit !!!
So glad!
That Mediterranean bowl is something I would like to try! Except I'm the only one in my family who would eat it lol good meal to invite a friend over for!
Hi Mindy, I just started watching your videos and you have the best ideas for meals and great tips! Thank you so much for your ideas. I've already made 2 of your meals and my family loved them.
Thank you for the kind words, Vickie, I really appreciate it!
Always helpful. I have a younger child but I think he’d be willing to at least try most of those meals.
good stuff!
Glad you liked it!
I’m making this tonight. I think I’m using a rice o roni box without the seasoning from the box instead. Using what I have today 😊just made the seasoning mix and got the chicken thighs out!
The t in tzatziki is mostly silent. If you call it "zat ziki" you'll pretty much nail it.
i Mindy. I agree with you about having a meal ready when you walk through the door. I love my crock pot as much as you do. Your recipes in this video are great. Just wondering if you saved the liquid ffrom the garbanzo beans and made humas? I always think of that a a free bee. I love your channel!
I'm all for dessert, but if you are in a tough time and need to cook, you might have to lose it. I would probably ditch the dessert, buy spices, and know that I have them to spice up many future weeks. That being said, LOVE that cake!!! BTW, I've been watching so long I didn't realize how many subscribers you have climbed to. So happy for you!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Hey mindy..instead of using the sour cream in your corn bread.. try using an extra egg.. it makes the corn bread more moist...please try it... I always make my corn bread with the extra egg...it turns out like a cake texture..and it isn't dry and crumbly like it mostly does ...even in a scratch corn bread recipe...use 2 eggs and the 1/3 cup of milk...it does improve the corn breads texture
I'm so early! Woo-hoo ❤🎉
1st! :)
It certainly wouldn't be a SeeMindyMom viceo if you weren't talking to us while holding a cup! :D
You can add it to the list of your little trademarks. :P
I love the chicken and rice recipe. I do a very similar things but instead of rice I put potatoes cut into bite sized pieces. I mostly season with thyme (i personally like it a lot) and then before covering it for the potatoes to cook I also add heavy cream. It gives the potatoes a fuller, creamy flavor. :D
And many thanks for the cake recipe, I am so bad with cakes and looking for something easy to start with, so I appreciate your recipe a lot! Thank you!
I’m always looking for more things to do with chicken thighs. Love that soup especially! By the way, l keep meaning to ask you…do you still have Ollie? It seems like we don’t see her anymore.
Ollie ran away last year and we never found her. She was always bolting out of the house. 😢
@@SeeMindyMom l’m very sorry to hear that. We lost a cat that way once. It’s hard.
For the sauce, you can also use a mixture of mayo and sour cream.
Good tip!
cool
Could I use maybe gnocchi’s in the soup in place of the beans? My family doesn’t eat beans. Or is there something else that I could use?
My ex husband won me over with a strawberry poke cake, he spelled I love you in strawberries too bad he was a cheater, he could cook 👨🍳 🎂🍰🤣
perfectly fine to use sour cream says a Greek lol
Suggestion - if you're removing the onion in the green chile chicken soup because someone in the family doesn't like chunks of onions - consider blending the onion with some broth and then putting it back into the soup to thicken it. Don't waste that onion! LOL I would just chop the onion and eat it in the soup.
So i got meal kits when they were $1.39-$1.50 a serving and i just froze the meats, produce, and added spices to my cabinet. $50 for 6 meals for 4 people. I just cancel then renew when price drops
I'm not a big believer in sugar loading my kids. However, I completely agree with you about having a dessert they like occasionally. Satisfying the sugar craving at home is a lot cheaper than going out for ice cream when we're driving past.

❤❤❤❤❤
There are only 3 ways to open those stubborn little paper packets: (1) ineffectually, as Mindy did here, (2) explosively, as in "I am really glad my counter is clean, but I may have inhaled some of it," and (3) cheating, as in grabbing the scissors. Cheating is best.
💜💜💜💜💜
❤❤❤❤
That pudding packing was being a little difficult today😂
No kidding!
More Taziki sauce!
It was so good!
👍👍👍👍
👍👍
Are the green chilies mild or medium?
I usually get medium
It would be really helpful if you put a price on how much you paid for each item to show us how it's only $7 per dinner.
Add worse shire sauce to turkey it will taste more like beef🤫
Yep! I usually do that.
*simultaneously laughs and cries in kosher* ... advice still works to an extent though
Wish that you didn’t have to use so many products that created so much waste. In other words maybe you could recycle more and get things in bulk. Also do you compost if not you should start. Don’t throw away produce or jarred nut butters in trash. Ugh
You lost me at meat that comes in a plastic tube like dog food....
The sour cream and flour mixture is a revelation to me! What a great idea!
Glad I could give an idea. :) you just have to whisk it really well into the soup.
❤
