Hey friends! So admittedly this video is a little unorganized and chaotic, but that's how the last few weeks have felt! I've been insanely busy at work without much energy to film or edit, but I wanted to get *something* out to y'all, especially because one of my viewers, Marisol, was so insanely kind to send me a gift in the mail. Things are settling back down at work at least for a few weeks, so I'll be getting out more Dollar Tree, budget, and food content very soon!
Congratulations on getting 330 likes and no dislikes yet - that's impressive! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, it looks like a good choice for a family on a budget.
Ohhh me too!! So interesting and I'm learning new things, love u Lisa Dawn, your so awesome, and so is kitty😽😽😽 keep up the good work and show us some videos!!🥰🥰😊😊😊😋😋😋
Omg, I’ve never clicked so fast. New sub, I just ADORE your content. You are so relatable and there’s something so soothing about your videos. Please keep uploading. Lol ❤️❤️
Lisa, I am addicted to your channel. You are an amazing young woman and so is that hubby of yours. I wish you both all the best in your endeavours. Bless you both.
@@ginamarie4334 thanks for your your reply , but if you haven't had to try and apply since covid it's a real joke and backed up like you wouldn't believe. I applied months and I mean MONTHS ago and still no word, they know my my voice when I call each week and ask if theres any updates on my case.
I really love seeing your videos! That was so kind of Marisol to do that for you. U deserve it. U are so kind & humble. Cant wait to see what video you do next!
I finally remembered to subscribe. Yay! I just moved to a new state for a job, and ON THE DRIVE found out that I had no job and no apartment after all. Needless to say, all my plans changed and I'm having to go into emergency mode. I got a hotel with a kitchenette, and now I'm trying to keep my daily meals under $2 a piece. The downside is that I packed my storage unit wrong and I can't get at all my old stuff on my own. I've been thinking back to your videos a lot as I try and get things worked out.
Just wanted to say that my husband and I really enjoy your videos. I especially think your Dollar Tree videos succeed in showing people that it is possible to make tasty home-cooked food on a budget. I have been in a cooking slump lately, but you have inspired me to get back to creative cooking. I wish you the best of luck with your channel!
Your videos are not only super informative (I share them with my young adult daughters all the time), but they’re equally relaxing!! It’s just nice having someone else do all the cooking!! Now, if only I could taste the end product as well…. Someday they’ll make technology available to do that too, and I cannot wait! 😁
That would be some game changing tech for RUclipsrs! Imagine how many people out there would be curious what a week of meals from the Dollar Tree tastes like!
I've been mostly off of RUclips for the last couple of weeks while I was in the process of moving, and it was so nice to see a new video from you pop up in my subscriptions!
Hi from Georgia! I wish we had a Food Lion close to where I live. I keep seeing people going there and the prices seem really good! What a wonderful gift from your follower! I hope you can put it to good use! Great seeing an upload from you even if it is in the middle of a hectic time!!
Im so impressed with her style of "KISS" cooking! I have written out her recipes and they are now inside my recipe folder... Those fajita looked so easy to make ... I hope I can do it? 🤞
I’m not even sure how I stumbled upon your channel but I just love it! You are so wholesome and more Andrew! When you teared up opening your gifts, girl, same here. Continue what you’re doing, keep smiling and keep us entertained and informed just the way you always have. ✌🏽☺️✌🏽
I absolutely love your channel since I have found it I can’t stop watching. Everything you cook looks amazing you have really good ideas. I’m really impressed. Your cat is soo beautiful as well.
Don't apologize for getting emotional. We can be our own worst critic when life throws us a curve ball. I try to remember not to be too hard on myself if I'm Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. I call it the HALT advice. (I was given this advice recently). It's a perfect coping mechanism when my life feels out of control. Lately almost every day is like that. I care for my husband, age 68, who is a stroke patient ×3. We have some wild and crazy days!!! Thanks for posting and I enjoyed this video. Your gifts were so thoughtful. Marisol is a kind person to think of you this way. Blessings to you Lisa Dawn!!! 😉💕
I wish I had an Aldi store close to me .. I love your channel and love how your always trying to save money and get bargains at the grocery store and sharing them with us .Blessings 💕
Thank you for the great ideas especially the beans and tortillas, as I live in Canada and its difficult to find tortillas and even re fried beans. I'd like to share a Spanish rice recipe I found that is similar to the Mexican restaurants I love. To one cup of white rice heat small amount of oil in pan add rice and stir and brown for about 20 min. (browning the rice is important) add peppers and onion saute 10 min add garlic and after a min add one half cup tom paste and 2 cups chicken broth and seasonings. Simmer 30 -40 min on low. I use a sauce pan instead of rice cooker and it works well. Warm reguards
I watch your channel and it makes my mouth water 🤤 lol. I never really cook because I don’t know what to put together. I myself struggle with money issues so I try to make what’s cheap. I myself LOVE LOVE LOVE beans lol. My husband and I make a lot of chorrizo egg and potatoes. It’s a Hispanic dish. You have to try it! Fry up your diced potatoes until brown, then u drain the oil out, then you put your chorizo in the frying pan that you cooked your potatoes in and just cook that for maybe 7-8 minutes cuz it’s raw…THEN you put your strained potatoes BACK into the pan and then you crack your desired amount of eggs and just mix all together, and there you have it lol. I know that’s a lot to write and you probably think I’m crazy but seriously it’s good! I hope you try making this. I have a lot of fun watching what you post and think ‘man that looks yummy’. 😄 Looking forward on seeing what else you make.
Omgggg yesssss I looooveeee sazón!!!! It's so good in yellow rice any kinds of meats beans veggies almost anything lol And I love your content. Can you please make a video using it ?
When we were a young family, and I was a new stay-at-home mom, 30 years ago, I could have really used this channel! I always said, if we had more money, the only thing I would change is that I would splurge on ingredients. So we are blessed now that we can do that, but we have young adult children just starting out, and the economy is unstable, and so I think these videos are absolutely priceless. Just because we can doesn’t mean we should, so asking my husband to pick up 2 lbs of sea scallops for dinner is perhaps not the best allocation of our grocery budget. Love your channel.
I know im a bit late to the party but a quick remedy for asparagus and the woody bottom parts is to snap the asparagus and where it snaps you will not have woody asparagus. Cutting the Asparagus will still have woody parts to it. Hope that helps.
I love watching your videos, I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and watched all of them. You and Andrew and kitty are so genuine and fun to watch. God bless you all❤️🙏🏻❤️
I made your Refried beans recipe!!! I meal prepped with your rice recipe and added grilled peppers and onions 4 days of lunches ready to go for the rest of my week. btw. the beans taste amazing!!!!!!!
I love your channel content and how you share your super buys you find on reduced food and how you go and show us what you make with the groceries you buy . Thanks for showing us how you do corn tortillas… you have convinced me to go ahead and buy a 5Lb bag of Masa and make us some homemade corn tortillas too .. I really enjoy that you cook from scratch and that you use your Instant Pot ( I know yours is a different brand but they r all basically the same) I feel guilty because I have one and barely use it and it’s a shame because it really does such a good job of cooking up anything that I like to use it for .. I think it’s because I don’t have room on my counter for it so I have to go drag it down in order to use it .. I know that’s being lazy but I’ll admit I gotta do better by using it more🤣 Those were some sweet gifts that you got from a viewer.. I use that bouillon all the time in my cooking because it adds great flavor to your dishes ..it’s always fun getting gifts! Blessings 💕
There are some things it's worth it to spend more on, and I've found it's definitely almost always worth it to go for the nicer battery with the warranty. The worst is being caught with a dead battery and no one around to give you a jump or a push start!

I'm curious to know what you do for work? I'm sure you don't want to be super specific, but maybe you can speak in generalities.
I MISSED U GIRL!!🥰🥰
Congratulations on getting 330 likes and no dislikes yet - that's impressive!

Ohhh me too!! So interesting and I'm learning new things, love u Lisa Dawn, your so awesome, and so is kitty😽😽😽 keep up the good work and show us some videos!!🥰🥰😊😊😊😋😋😋

Im a poor college kid struggling to eat lol so her videos have SAVED me literally. I adore Lisa ❤️❤️❤️
That was very generous of Marisol ( hopefully I spelled it correctly). I enjoy your videos.
Glad to see a new video from you. You always have good different ways to create yummy meals from a frugal grocery budget.
Thanks for watching! 💜
I'm so glad you're back, I need your help on feeding a large family with a shoe string budget
You can do it ✺◟(＾∇＾)◞✺ 💜💜💜
@@ThatLisaDawn Thank you for your encouragement!
She is great help but please don’t be intimidated on asking for state assistance! That’s what it’s there for ❤️
@@ginamarie4334 thanks for your your reply , but if you haven't had to try and apply since covid it's a real joke and backed up like you wouldn't believe. I applied months and I mean MONTHS ago and still no word, they know my my voice when I call each week and ask if theres any updates on my case.
Love your videos because they make me feel fearless in the kitchen.
Yes, I love it! That's when you can really start to have fun in the kitchen! 😀
I really love seeing your videos! That was so kind of Marisol to do that for you. U deserve it. U are so kind & humble. Cant wait to see what video you do next!
I'm already editing my next video! And yes, I was blown away by Marisol's kind gesture, it was such a wonderful surprise.
@@ThatLisaDawn im ready!!! Have a great week! 🌻
Glad to see a video from you..just love them!

So glad to have you as a subscriber! 💙 And oh no! That's definitely a pretty major turn of events. I hope things get worked out quickly for you!
One of the things I do to save money is wait until the pork loin is on sale and then have it cut into chops. Then you get boneless chops a lot cheaper
Great tip!
They will cut it for free
That's a fantastic tip! Great for buying in bulk and freezing too.

I love your content! You’re very relatable and I learn so much. Thank you for being you. 🥰
Thanks so much 💜
I NEVER knew I could get so many great items at these prices at the Dollar store. Thanks for all of your ideas/recipes. Please continue to post. 😁
You seem to be such a sweet tender hearted girl that loves to cook and care for her family. I enjoy your channel so much. Can’t wait to see more 😋
Thank you so much!
Looks sooo good! Your such an amazing home cook! I love your videos!! Looking forward to more 💜💛💜💛
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching 💙
I’ve never tried making my own refried beans but yours always look delicious and the right consistency. Thanks for the videos Lisa.
It's definitely worth trying. It's so easy and blows canned refried beans outta the water!
Lisa I never knew that I could add OTHER THINGS to the rice cooker besides rice thank you so much for showing that!!!!
I've been mostly off of RUclips for the last couple of weeks while I was in the process of moving, and it was so nice to see a new video from you pop up in my subscriptions!
I’m so glad to to see this latest video! Thank you for making it and all the others! Your cooking demos are so inspirational
Thanks for watching! It's very humbling to create something others consider inspiring. 💜
That's a great solution to make tortillas!
Gotta work with what I got! Thanks for watching 💙
Thank you for being so genuine. Your videos are a joy to watch.
Hi from Georgia! I wish we had a Food Lion close to where I live. I keep seeing people going there and the prices seem really good! What a wonderful gift from your follower! I hope you can put it to good use! Great seeing an upload from you even if it is in the middle of a hectic time!!
I'm jealous of the parts of Georgia that have Kroger! I had to settle for Food Lion after Kroger left the NC market.
Girl... Where have ya been?? So glad your making a video... Missed ya 😉
I'm glad to be back!
Im so impressed with her style of "KISS" cooking! I have written out her recipes and they are now inside my recipe folder... Those fajita looked so easy to make ... I hope I can do it? 🤞

Nice to actually see Andrew!! Love you and your channel.
Love seeing Andrew participating in the cooking!

i have a tortilla press and they still never get as thin as they should. I do just what you do , or I use a rolling pin
Good to know I'm not missing out on too much by not having a tortilla press!
God bless y'all. Love your recipes. 😋🤤
Thank you 💙
I'm not sure if you've ever tried it but lemon juice on pork chops is AMAZING!

Thanks, I think they are super yummy! 😋
Same thing happened to me with my battery, The difference in prices nearly doubled . Your fajitas looked delish !!!
That was so sweet of Marisol!
I truly enjoy your videos. You are so humble and kind.
Everything looked good! I like Sazon Goya too! It is also good in rice dishes! Love your videos!😁❤️
Thank you 💙💙💙 I also just got a jar of Badia's sazon seasoning at Dollar Tree this week, so I'll have no shortage of it in my house!!
Thank you for recommending the Sazon seasoning! I finally found it at my local Dollar Tree and I can’t wait to give it a try! Thanks again!
Marisol is SO sweet!
Love your videos. It’s nice to come across someone so genuine.
Thank you so much! 💜

You do such a good job on these videos I really look forward to seeing them!
Thank you! 💙
Yeah I have a Toyota from 2005, I have gone through 2 batteries now I paid $250 for my new one came with 4 year warranty.
There are some things it's worth it to spend more on, and I've found it's definitely almost always worth it to go for the nicer battery with the warranty. The worst is being caught with a dead battery and no one around to give you a jump or a push start!
That's me girl I chop quick quick and dunk before they hit my eyes lol
Yummy!! Hope you and your family are well💖💙💖💙
Thank you, we are, I hope the same for yours! 💙
Looks delish
We use Sazon in our Mexican rice!!!
What is your bean recipe for the insta pot? Yours always look perfect
That Sazon came from NY no doubt......if you wanna make a great cheese sauce mix the cheap aldi yogurt, fiesta blend cheese and sazon with milk
Thanks for the suggestion!
We use a lot of the same brands of spices 😊
