My son and I had a baked potato and cream of chicken soup last night. Under $1 each.
Now I know what I'm cooking on Friday, chicken/broccoli/rice. Perfect!!!
😀😀
Absolutely love the budget meals as i am on disability and barely scraping by, just made spaghetti for supper, made for like cheap lol, i am currently smothered with a head cold and i also have a chest infection (not covid). But needless to say i feel miserable and my fur baby tigger passed away a couple of days ago, he was only 3 years old. He was like a child for me, he was my world.
Aw I’m so sorry for your loss and that you aren’t feeling well. This cloud will lift ❤️❤️
@@MealsWithMaria thanks so much, it means a lot that one of my fav RUclipsrs actually took time out too say that too me. Most don't even answer comments.
I am so sorry for your loss, I've gone through it myself and it's absolutely heartbreaking, I hope you feel better soon 💔
So sorry for you loss @jengail I am also on disability and making it only because of my son who is also, disabled. Here's hoping u feel better.
I’m so sorry about your fur baby. Sending love and prayers for peace your way.
The lentils and the black beans and rice look scrumptious.
It's nickels 🤣 but I think maybe with inflation it's quarters??
Lol, I was saying the same thing in my head.😊
Not only are these recipes budget friendly, they're also one pot meals, which I love so into my files this video goes 😊. I especially want to try the lentils. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
The broccoli rice could be stretched even further if you cut the stem into cubes or roughly small pieces and just cook it in water. It does take longer to cook than the rest of the broccoli, but it does soften eventually and provides just as much nutrition so you end up having more of the veg! :D
I’m really low on money at the moment and this was soooooo helpful. Thank u!
Thanks Maria 😊
Ms Ruby
Dunno what you do with broccoli stems, but a local place slices them thin and pickles them. I'm pretty sure they just put them in spiced vinegar that tastes a bit like kimchee. I just use pickle juice or whatever I have. I love to have/get all kinds of flavored vinegars.
That is such a great idea! I bet it would taste really good on a sandwich!
The brocoli rice dish looked great!
Here in MS, the weather is up and down. One day is in the 70s, then the next day in the 40s. My sinuses are having a hay day. I am feeling horrible with it all. Love watching your videos.
In NH it’s similar, I didn’t think about the weather being part of this! Hope we all get a beautiful summer!
I make Spanish Rice and I use white beans only in my chicken vegetable soups. Thanks, Maria!
Love rice and beans!
So good 😍
It’s that time of year struggling with my allergies. These items really look yummy.
You are right about stock. It does make a difference. But it is quite expensive to buy and takes time to make. So I always keep some stock cubes to use instead, when needed. The posh foodies hate them, but I find it is just a matter of maybe reducing the added salt a little. Thank you for the video!
Another tip is to keep any veggie scraps you have in a plastic baggie in your freezer and then when it’s full you can make stock! It’s “free”!
@@yelanates That is a great idea
"Better than Bouillion" in glass jars is the most flavorful imo... and lasts a long time.
This black beans and rice dish was amazing. I used black soy beans (because that’s what I had on hand and needed to use up) and one cup left over frozen homegrown corn from last year as well as a can of regular diced tomatoes and it was so good! I topped mine with shredded pepper jack but it was just as good without the cheese. It was also good with some fresh made bread on the side. Very filling meal. Thanks! I’m making the chicken broccoli and rice tonight for the second time and it’s so good too. I haven’t tried the coconut lentil curry yet but I think I will soon. Naan bread on the side would be a must!
Yay! I’m so glad you love the recipes! The best way to let the world know is to review my recipes on my website! I’d really appreciate it!! mealswithmaria.site
You can never have too much onion! I almost always use a whole onion in a recipe and rarely measure - unless they’re absolutely gigantic, tear-jerker onions! 😘
So good it’ll make you cry!
I am on disability as well. Sadly it isn't enough to pay for rent and food. I love vegetables but they are expensive. I appreciate inexpensive recipes.
Always! Frozen is a great, inexpensive alternative!
I add a packet of onion soup mix instead of broth to my chicken broccoli rice. It adds lots of flavor and is pretty cheap.
Oh wow! I love that idea!!
You can usually get the frozen or save up the stems and add those to stretch it out even further
Love it! Will try and it’s “ not enough money to rub two wooden nickels together”
Everything is blooming. It get us everytime every year. We start taking allergy pills at this time of year. Yellow Pollan coats everything.
Oh true! Not up here yet, but it’s coming!
Looks great!
With inflation its now 2 quarters!!! It was two pennies. Lol
Haha that’s what I’m thinking!
The way things are going lately we might want to hang on to our silver dollars, too. 😳
Rice and beans is a staple. I love to toss in a little bit if mixed veggies. It changes it up just a little bit. You can add cilantro if you like. A little cumin or paprika would be good. Better than has a paste called sofritas that I am loving.
Yessss more lentil recipes!
Yum!
My goodness!! 😛Sooo many folks benefit from your vids, which are full of great ways to shop on a strict budget , making great meals on a strict budget and esp awesome how you share alternatives and/or substitutes for ingredients. 😋There are way too many families suffering at this time, so for sure these videos I'm sure are helping to change their lives for the better. I know I am ALWAYS INSPIRED 😁by them and your Beautiful spirit!!! And, your children are so lovely too. As young as they are, they participate in taste testing and are very good at it....😋😛🤔 I'm absolutely going to make the Broccoli, Rice & Chicken and the Beans & Rice. Just YUMMY!!! Please keep up with all the good you do. Thank you for all of it Maria. Arlene
Love the recipes… 🎶
GREAT JOB 👏
Yummy recipes, a couple of our basics and I’m wanting a simple curry so I love this vid! Ty
I absolutely love when you capture Dan stealing cheese... Thank you for keeping those "so real" clips. My hubby does cute things like that too. :-D Hello from Canada!!! :)
Thank you so much for this video.
Tofu would be another sub that would make it even cheaper.you could add a little chicken bullion (vegan if you want it like that) I love veggie stock. There are so many yummy stocks you can use. I would use the stems of the broccoli kind of a small diced.
Nutritional yeast could be used for a cheesy flavor. You can make a vegan cheese sauce for pennies. It uses carrots and potatoes garlic powder, onion powder and nutritional yeast.
Really appreciate these recipes.thank you.all loaded up with great flavor!I hope you and family are all feeling better soon 🤗💛🤗
We are on the struggle bus with sickness and yes, it won’t go away. Love your channel!!!
Aw thank you! Feel better!!!
Hmmm....I happen to have lentils, coconut milk, and a random jar of garam masala 🤔
Thanks for the great ideas!!
Yes...my son and I have been sick all week. Feel better and thank you for your videos.
Red lentils are good too. They cook fast.
They get really mushy tho..
Awesome meals!
Thank you Gloria!
Thanks for all u do
You’re so welcome Danna!
Struggling here in MA it’s this darn hot cold hot cold weather patterns. Feel better ❤️🩹
Really like your videos Maria! Want to try that lentil soup! 😊
Yay! Enjoy!
I loved all of the dishes that you made! I did like the last one the best also. I think I would add some ground beef to that, or a can of chicken. Like you said it is so versatile thank you so much for sharing with us
Those black beans and rice look amazing, I can even see my crew eating up that chicken and broccoli 🥦 I've got to try these!
Yay! Enjoy!
cool
I suggest for the rice and beans dish add coriander. I think it adds a pop. Your dish looks delicious
All these look so good. I wonder how the black beans and rice would be made in the instant pot.
Made an almost identical soup yesterday but used carrots instead of lentils. Thanks for reminding me to make the chicken, broccoli, and rice casserole!
Yum! And you’re welcome!
👍😊
Dan and Maria and Tommy and Julian and Ben Love 💘 ❤ 💕 ♥ 💗 💖
❤️❤️
😊
Good Afternoon
Hi Brenda!
Shared to FB so I can make the lentils. Not sure the Hubster will eat them, but I will!
Dont throw your broccoli stalk or hard part , i cut mine up makes great soup you and also freeze
I have had nasal congestion since October ! One doctor said it was caused by a virus another said allergies, and because I have post nasal drip I had mucus around the esophagus. Finally ! my sinuses are less clogged but it is working its' way through my throat . At the worst, I sounded like I was gasping for my last breath and having a heart attack so some people thought, others agreed when I said my talking was a combination of Deep Throat whispering and Darth Vadar neither attractive I assure you. Also, my nasal passages whistled lol I was a mess 😂 so, I understand you being congested hope you feel better. And thanks for the videos
Dimes I believe.
Nickels.
😂 I don’t know why I couldn’t think of it!
Can I use red lentils for the coconut lentil curry do you know?
In germany we often use Gouda Edamer or Emmentaler cheese. Can you get these in the us? I love these recipes. We have only a small budget now after some "trouble"
Yes - but they're not the least expensive! A little pricey. Maria is a brilliant cook!
@@Lisawhatshersname then come to germany. prices are to high for many here.
Do you have a link for the pan you used? Please and thank you.
Yes! I use caraway pans www.carawayhome.com/discount/AP-MEALSWITHMARIA10?redirect=/meetcaraway-ap&Onboarding&platform=grin&link_id=1096596&token=Y5Jykd3jgBansXzBgSZNIYWKGrbzTRXs&contact_id=39572396-8307-4346-bdde-e5d5ee3cd8f5&attribution_window=30
What does Graham masals taste like?
It’s a curry, so it tastes like Indian food.
Your Baby is cute.
Food bandits...lol
Why do you drain the beans…?
Hello Velma how are you doing,
where are you from?
It’s 2 Nickels
😅 yes! I was so off 😂
It’s…I don’t have 2 nickles to rub together. LoL.
It's 2 cents to rub together

@@MealsWithMaria lol I am always a little off it's ok
Allergy time and between dry air and cold damp air ..ugh!
