    Amazing what you've done! How about some orange glazed cooked carrots, cream of broccoli, potato and ham soup, sausage breakfast muffins with the pancake mix maybe, carrot or corn fritters, broccoli rice casserole, veggie soup, green beans sauteed with onions and ham, fried rice,, potato rounds topped like pizza, pickled carrots or onions, broccoli, ham and cheese baked potato, cheesy corn, ham croquette, cinnamon bread/toast, veggie tots, tomato gravy with sausage (made by making a brown gravy then adding in tomato paste) served over biscuits or rice, fried green beans or broccoli (dip in flour mixed with water then fry in oil). I hope some of this gives you inspiration. I don't know how you do it. My brain is numb now from doing all of that brainstorming. Lol

    High five and great creativity on week two. Can't wait for week three.
    Put the sugar into a blender and it'll get sort of powdery.
    The cupcakes were a lot like the quick loaf we had this week throwing in whatever - carrot, yellow squash, banana, orange with its zest, raisins, AP flour, oatmeal and whole wheat flour and spices.

    I can't believe the variety you have with a handful of items! Simply amazing meals with no repeats! Love this cooking for one! Hint: if the bowl you used to mix the chicken casserole in was Correlle, you could've put it right into the oven and saved cleaning the casserole dish. How about a ham broccoli and cheese pasta or rice? You've done so many I can't remember if you've made it or not.

    Some other ideas I thought of:
    Small pasta salad with vinegar and oil dressing with the Italian, garlic, salt and pepper and shredded carrot, some broccoli maybe.
    Sausage rice soup with the veggies and bread on the side or a crouton seasoned with oil, garlic, Italian.
    Maybe an orange vinaigrette, shredded carrot side salad.
    Potato onion sausage hash.

    Some of that pineapple or the juice from the tin would have been nice in those carrot muffins. You might want to try your hand at an Ermine (or 'boiled milk') frosting, which requires milk, but because the sugar gets cooked, it's super-creamy and not gritty at all (it's also perfect as a small-batch frosting, as it doesn't store well for later use).

  • @BuildingsNBridges
    @BuildingsNBridges 9 месяцев назад +1

    Would you say that this has been time consuming so far? This is so creative and you aren't repeating the same meals which is impressive

    • @rachelresets
      @rachelresets  9 месяцев назад

      I would say yes, but I don't think it is the meal making that has taken the longest. The longest part is in positioning the camera, making sure all measurements are taken and in shot (half the time I just eyeball measurements when I'm making meals usually, but for this I'm trying to be exact in case others are wanting to make something themselves), and editing and making the voice-over. As far as making the meal, it's not taking any longer than creating a meal would usually take for me - in fact, with the frozen rice and precooked frozen noodles it's actually shaved off a ton of time. I timed most of the meals this video because I had only certain times in between my job that I could film and on average each meal took about 30min with all the set up for filming. Thanks for the comment and for taking the time to watch! 🥰

    80 dollars is more than half i get from ebt. I'm going to get rid of as much as i can tomorrow and clean I have to run a radio net at 8:45 If I get up at 7:30 I'll take the dogs for a half mile walk first we can go farther than that maybe around 1pm we'll go on a long one. Day 12 you almost made two full weeks. I have to make my casseroles tomorrow sort of like your chicken casserole but I'm using tomato sauce instead of cream. I think you are stretching it at least a full 2 weeks your title could say two weeks for 40 dollars that's 20 a week something I could of live off.
