My husband passed away three weeks ago and now I’m in a desperate financial situation. I came across your channel yesterday and have watched several of your videos. You are clearly my new best friend.
Hope you are doing well
This video is the best thing I'm seeing in my adult life... I'm 26 and my husband and I just started eating beans more often, cooking dried beans.. I honestly could cry because of all the help you're giving me right now. Thank you, 100 times, over.
THATS AWESOME.
Yes, I remember being 26 and newly married, and how older more experienced people helped us along the way. Some unsolicited advice to you is, grow what you can yourself, even if it’s a few herbs and a potted tomato plant, stock your herb cabinet and pantry with the essentials, put a little food by for emergency or time of need, name brand is not always the best, in fact, many times, you are just paying for the name on the label, try and make cooking a pleasant experience and not a chore. Good luck to you from an old kitchen witch. 🍲🥦🌞
A 43-minute Christine cooking video?? Yes, please! 😁
Ditto!
Yay!
Right??!!!! When I saw it, I was jazzed!
@@forgetmenot3078 ,
Totally!! I miss her cooking and to get a snippet of her mama in this video??? Such a treat
Tip for your Dutch oven bread. After you shape your dough into a ball place it on the parchment paper while it’s resting. Then once your pan is preheated just lift up the parchment paper and plop it in your Dutch oven.
That's the way my mum used to do it 🤣
Reminds me of the joke
Husband asks wife why do you always cut off the end of the meat joint before you put it in the pot
That's how my mum always did it so she calls her mum and asks why she did it she says because that's how my mum did it so she calls her grandmother and asks why she always cuts the end of the joint
Because it doesn't fit in my pot says the grandmother 🤣🤣😘
when you make a frugal meal make it special with a great dessert, here is my favorite recipe for zucchini: CHOCOLATE ORANGE ZUCCHINI CAKE Favorite Recipes of the Sutton Families & Friends
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour (unsifted)
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup soft butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. grated orange rind
2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Recipe instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, cocoa, baking, powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside. With mixer beat together the butter and sugar until they are smoothly blended. Add the eggs; one at a time, beating well after each addition. With a spoon, stir in the vanilla, orange peel, and zucchini. Alternately stir dry ingredients and the milk into zucchini mixture, including the nuts as a last addition. Pour into a greased & floured 10 inch tube pan or Bundt pan. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Turn out on wire rack to cool thoroughly. Drizzle glaze over top. Cut into thin slices to serve. GLAZE: Mix together 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 Tbsp. milk and 1 tsp. vanilla; beat until smooth.
Thanks for the recipe!
I made the potato soup yesterday and I did it exactly as Christine and her mother make it. OMG…that is soooo good!! I live by myself in an apartment, so I shared the soup with some of my neighbors in the building. They loved it as much as I did. Interestingly enough, one neighbor had two teeth pulled yesterday and that soup was ideal for him!
I’m making the spicy noodles next, followed by the red beans and rice.
Oh! I almost forgot! I made the cinnamon raisin bread last Sunday and it was another winner!
What I love most about this channel is that it kind of proves that you can make decent, mostly healthy, home-cooked meals for cheap. I once worked at a really boring data-entry job, so I used to talk with my co-workers a lot. We talked about food, and I was just kind of shocked to learn that many of my co-workers like didn't know how to cook for themselves. Like, not even soup. I gave them a recipe for crockpot chili. They were thrilled. The women of my family have always known how to cook...(although my bf cooks better than me!) buut its a skill I never take for granted. This channel also proves that you don't have to be like a chef to make good, home-cooked meals. Making home cooked meals is a life skill that everyone should have, and it's easy, too!
Your son is so freaking adorable waving at the camera 😂❤️
Your son in the back smiling at the camera is too cute.😊
Little Ryan.. so cute! Peaking in and sweet helper! Thanks for these great videos Christine..love the bread ones. ❤️💛
I dropped in to tell you that I made your raisin bread. It’s really, really good! I almost never make anything from the many RUclips food videos I see, mostly because the ingredients aren’t available where I live in Italy, but this one interested me, and all the ingredients were always in my pantry. I had a small problem because of cups instead of weight, I do have cups, though, and the difference in our flours, my mixture was very wet. Muddled through with confidence, as I am anything but an amateur, so I have tricks.
If you end up with a wet dough, use more flour on your work surface, and use a dough scraper dipped in flour to manipulate it on the work surface, then put it on floured parchment, extra large sized. Fold and roll, repeat. Its never going to be a ball, but it should at least have a form after a while. When your pot is heated and dough rested, use the parchment like a sling to get it into the pot. Then return to Christine’s directions and you’ll have a delicious loaf.
hey Christine! thought I would share my "efficient" method for chicken n dumplings. instead of making the mess and spending time rolling dough....I form my dough into a loose ball in the bowl...and then with thoroughly floured hands I pinch bite size pieces and plop them into the boiling soup (carefully). then any flour leftover just goes in the soup too and helps thicken it. quicker and less mess to clean later.
Hi Christine! My husband and I watch your videos every Saturday morning while we drink our coffee. It’s something we both look forward to. Funny story, last year I had an Amazon gift card from work so we ordered the Cosori air fryer, it never came. Fortunately we were refunded our money. We would love to have a black one 😊
I don't know if I have a favorite, but what I did learn from this video was that there are lots of ways to make low costs meals and many of them do not involve meat. I have traditionally used meat as a basis, but this helped open my eyes as to what other things I can do to feed my family. Probably healthier without the meat as well. I greatly appreciate this video!
Tip for the sticky dough - after forming the ball put them on the parchment paper on the counter for the final 30min proof then you can just drop the parchment and dough into the hot pan and don’t have to touch the sticky dough again wohoo!
Your videos have made me always look for the WooHoo mark down stickers. So much fun. Huge savings. Always use them within 3 days. Found a package of 3 large portobella mushrooms for 99 cents. Grilled them . topped with cheese. Served with Chicken Kabobs. Total for dinner for 3 was $4.83.
Hey Christine! I have a great tip for when handling dough! Instead of putting flour on your hands, use some crisco and oil up :). This is how my Grandma had always done it 😊
And beautiful nails and cuticles I’m sure of it!
I have had no problems with sticky dough since I started oiling rather than flouring the board and my hands.
I spray my hands with Pam prior to handing dough and it works really well
@@mstorry9325 me too :)
Just a little tip, since you are a heavy freezer user: You can freeze butter! I buy Kerrygold when on sale and freeze it! Never run out of butter again...
Thank you for acknowledging that not all of us were able to have kids or to be at home to prepare meals. I still get a lot out of your videos and love watching how you enjoy your family, especially during the pandemic.
Mexican food is the best for tight budgets, plus it’s tastes so good!
Yup. As a kid, we lived off of beans, rice, tortillas, tomatoes, onions and chilies. My mom would use one chicken to feed a family of six and spread it out for two dinners (Enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, casserole bakes). Same with one lb of ground beef. She would bulk it up with rice or beans. Cutting back on meat was and still is an easy way to trim the budget.
I love chopping. I find it so relaxing and therapeutic especially while listening to some jazz in the background!
I made the potatoe soup. So easy, so delicious. A winner with the family and a new recipe for potlucks at work. Next time I'm gonna add real bacon bits and green onions as toppings. Yum! Thanks, Christine!
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for the incredible content you've been sharing on your channel. I've been watching your videos for the past few days, and I'm absolutely hooked! Your cooking tutorials have been particularly enjoyable, and I've learned so much from them. The effort and passion you put into your videos are truly commendable, and I wanted to personally thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with your viewers.Keep up the fantastic work! Your videos have not only entertained me but also inspired me to try new recipes and techniques in the kitchen. I genuinely appreciate your dedication to your craft, and I'm excited to see what you have in store for your audience in the upcoming videos!!!!
I love that you actually prepare meals from scratch rather than just dump a lot of processed foods into a crock pot.
Thank you!
I’ve been watching you for awhile now and did my first ever freezer stuffed pepper meal prep with clearance peppers this past Monday haha. My life felt so put together!
My favorite part about watching you and Kim is knowing when you reference each others videos. 😍😂
Me before watching Christine: 😕
Me after watching Christine: 😁
Thank you so much for sharing this with with all of these awesome recipes and thanks for the download, Christine! ❤️
Wow, I felt like I was running a food marathon. Loved all the recipes, quick, fast, yummy, and economical. Can't wait to try a lot of them. I really admire your ability to make a home, a warm loving home. How you care for your family is so evident.
I love Rogue's little paws in the upper right hand corner when you were cooking the noodle dish.
OMG that potato soup recipe!! I just made it today, took a sip of the broth and it tastes excellent! Thanks for the video and please give your Mom a hug from me. She's a genius. I grew up in a large close extended family. Mom was oldest of 12. I cooked at home from a young age and later at many restaurants. This soup is one of the best I've tasted. Thank you!
Wow, I got everyone that I know to sub to you when you were getting to 400k. Now you are so close to 500k. So proud for you and your channel ❤️
Ryan is so adorable! I have been following you for yeaarrrrrssssss. You are relatable and I hope that doesn’t change. Hopefully one day you can come to NYC and try to food shop on a budget because everything is so expensive here!!!
Hi. Do you watch June on Delish? She does these videos called Budget Eats on Delish's RUclips channel. She lives in NYC and comes up with great ideas and is just awesome.
@@EmmaHope88 I had not heard of her! This is very interesting thank you so much
Hi,
If you let the dough rest on the parchment paper whilst on the counter, you can then just drop it in the hot dutch oven. No mess on your hands, the dough doesn't get disturbed, and you can make your design slashes in the dough. Enjoy!
Your son stole the entire show 😂 that was adorable!
loved when your son popped up and waved lol too cute
I had to rewatch the section where Ryan(?) popped in at least four times! My brain overloaded on the cuteness and I didn’t hear a single word you said. 😅
Thank you for another excellent cooking video, and for downloadable recipes!
I'm sharing the link so my daughter in a college apartment can see you in action, making easy meal magic. Although I don't yet have an InstaPot and she can't use that or a Crockpot on campus, many recipes can still be made. I'm so happy to have another mom's cooking talents on video that she can watch and learn from as she starts experimenting on her own while she's away. I love that you are a flexible cook and tweak your recipes to suit your tastes and by what is available in your home; that is an essential skill. Thanks again! 💜
Lol.. your green chile measurements. I'm New Mexican, and I use a pound for breakfast casseroles. For this, if I weren't vegan I'd use probably about 12 oz, but you said you were from TX so you know how NMs are with our green chile. Lol
Love this video!!! So many great ideas!! 😃
I'm in Colorado. I use lots of green chilies too. Just made a batch of green chili. Mmmm mmmm
Christine, I appreciate you sharing these recipes with your viewers. This type of knowledge is highly valuable. In the coming years- even more so. God bless you!
Make you dough ball and let them rest on the parchment paper. Then just pick up the paper to get them into the heated Dutch oven…much easier! Great recipes! Thanks!
Normally I am not a fan of dry beans, beans in the can, etc. but you make them look not boring, but actually appetizing, may be I will finally prepare something with beans - and I will definitely start with one of your recipes.
For the potato soup, if using Kraft singles does not hold any sentimental value for you, I would recommend just shredding or cubing up some velveeta and mixing that in! Or using whatever kind of shredded cheese you want. I’m a velveeta gorl myself
For me it depends on what's in my fridge already. Ha
I'm looking forward to your next clean out the freezer videos, ❤❤
May I ask would you ever do another recreate a food hamper box video and show us what you can create from the box and your fridge/freezers/pantry and basement stockpile. Thanks for all your content its much appreciated
i appreciate that there is no shame in your deal-gettin’ game! 89 cent can of clearance tomatoes? yep. clearance package of sausage links? you betcha. dusty can of refried beans? yeah. sometimes i feel weird trying to calculate the best cost per ounce or look for cheaper subs for expensive ingredients but it goes to show that smart people like you are unabashedly frugal. thanks for the great example!
This is my favorite of your podcasts so far! I love, as Tyler put it, long conversation podcasts! Well done.
I love the long videos! I listen to them like a podcast while I’m cleaning or cooking something myself.
Now I know why you are such a good cook: your Mama is from Louisiana! It all makes sense now! I live in Baton Rouge and just about everybody here cooks great!
✋️ I have been here 2 years! I absolutely love your videos. You have helped me so much. THANK YOU!
I made the baked chicken and rice with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and it was so good! I'd never made rice that way before, and now I want it all the time! :)
Oh, I'm all in for your Dad's Chicken and Rice. Next Mom's Red Beans and Rice. My Dad was from Lake Charles and we lived in East Texas 56 miles from the Louisiana border. Yes
everything I make has Tony's on it. Great recipes Christine. Thanks.
Your husband and kids are so lucky for having you to cook such delicious meals....
We love bean and rice bowls!
So inexpensive, I always make enough for lunch the next day.
Your mom's tastes better with the same recipe because food ALWAYS tastes better when someone else cooks it lol. All of these look good! Thank you, Christine!
3:21 omgggg so cuteeeee 😍😍😍😍 this made my day
I've been with you from the start of your channel so I'm proud to say I've watched you make all these recipes before .😃
Loved this! Thanks for the ideas!!
There is so much value in this video. You really went above and beyond. Thank you for all your hard work.
Good afternoon Christine. Once again, another superb video. I'm definitely having this tonight. Have a great weekend full of family, food and fun.
Thank you so much for this! I'm excited to print the recipes & add them to my binder of recipes. It will def help as we are trying to get back into the eating at home (and cleaning out the freezer!) & saving some extra $$$ for big travel plans!
Love the cooking videos!! So much fun to see the little kiddos!!
I love that you put all your recipes from the last few years in one video🎉😊
We have a very similar Taco soup recipe. I also add a packet of ranch seasoning mix and sometimes sliced black olives. We love topping our bowls with shredded cheese, sour cream, and Fritos! Taco soup is the best and reheats very well!
Hey Christine! Thank you so much for a video like this this is absolutely amazing thank you for taking the time not only to do this video but to also give us a printable for all the recipes this is awesome!
Thanks for this video and all your videos! I just prepped all the recipes from your Chicken Freezer Meals video just in time to come down with a sinus infection, and I couldn't be more thankful to have some meals ready to cook for the family. Thanks for making your recipes available and inexpensive!
Thanks for all of these recipes. Love the breads!
Woo hoo!!!! Thank you!! Shared with several friends.
Yay for Louisiana gals!! I was wondering why you were using our awesome seasonings. Good stuff. :)
Christine and family have a great weekend have fun thanks from Oklahoma
Love the compilation video!
Love this video! And I was surprised when I saw Ryan was so little then I figured it out😂 I really liked this because it seemed like a “best of” video and pulled together some fun, unique recipes.
Your little boy popping in during the dumpling recipes was the best! Hahaha.
Love the compilation!! Some of my fav recipes you've done are in here (And even some I've forgotten!)! Gonna have to get that "FFM mini recipe book"! Awesome sauce 😍 thankyou
This is super helpful! Thanks for sharing these recipes!
I can’t wait to try the crazy crust pizza tonight! I truly appreciate your videos! I love watching them all.
Love this! I watched the whole thing and can't wait to try some of the recipes. I'll tweak a few because of families taste preferences, but just getting a base recipe is amazing. So a huge thanks! I will be downloading the recipe book. I know you put so much time into these videos and so much of yourself into them, and I want to tell you I appreciate all you do for me and the rest of us. You and your family are awesome.
Ok yum! I am making that mexican black bean sausage chili right now! As soon as I saw this I put a pound of black beans in my instant pot and got some sausage out of the freezer. I'm going to put it in my crock pot for dinner tonight, can't wait!
AWESOME!! Can’t wait to try soooo many of these, especially the breads
No knead bread in the Dutch oven. My fave of all your recipes. Loved all of this. The flash backs of your old kitchen was awesome.
Thank you! Watched/listened while cleaning in the kitchen and then watched through again because I’m making some of these!
Oh yeah!! Friday Christine video!! Plus cooking/recipes one?! Oh yeah!! Whoop!! Whoop!!🙌🙌
When I make any kind of taco or tortilla soup, my family likes when I make homemade tortilla strips as a topping. I cut up any leftover tortillas and fry them quickly in oil. Drain them on a paper towel or shake in a brown paper bag
I LOVE your sound effects when cooking! The Ahh after adding the broth got me, and then I was 🤣🤣 @ tsp!!!
This video has arrived at the perfect time for me, and it's so great to have all of these recipes in one place to refer back to. Thanks Christine!! Xx
Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. Everything looks great! Can’t wait to try them.
PS. I love the t-shirt you wear that says I’m correcting your grammar. That’s something I picked up from my mama. 😂
another awesome video! a quick suggestion on the dumpling cutting - next time, use a pizza cutter.. it makes quick work of it and it doesnt "drag" the dough like a knife does. i use this trick with pie crusts, sheet pan biscuits and the crescent dough sheets, too, when I'm fixin up pigs in a blanket or homemade hot pocket type shizzle.. #kitchenhack
You have blessed me today with this video! Thank you!
Try making the pinto beans or other beans with smoked turkey leg...really good in place of anything you would use ham in . Great video ..just catching up on the older videos. Lots of ideas! Thanks!
When the cooler weather comes in I promised myself I'm going to try making your bread recipes ♥
I have so much fun watching your videos, even though my 5 kids are grown, but I send your vids to them cuz they don't listen to mom much. Love love love you added "wash your hands"!!!
Can't wait to try all these, thank you so much for sharing!!
Tried the potato soup recipe and it was a hit with my family. It's a huge win for me when I can make 1 meal and everyone eats it without complaints!!! Thanks!!!
very very appreciative of your videos, especially as of late with the insane grocery prices
Hi Christine!! These cooking videos of your are my favorite! And of course your amazing positive funny sarcastic attitude 😅😆🥰 loves so much!!
These recipes would last me all year. Great stuff!
Love your videos I'm from New Orleans we eat red beans once a week especially on Mondays. Can't wait to try the chicken and dumplings that's my favorite thing to eat never made it before.
I love your videos! I always look forward to seeing your videos every week. You have an amazing personality and always make viewers feel like a part of the video. Your recipes are always good and I use them often. Also you inspire me to get into fitness regimen with family. Thank you. Oh and I am redecorating my room similar to Hayley’s style with light sage green. Thank you for sharing
Can't wait to try the potato black bean tostadas!
A great potato soup that we used to make at the day care I worked at: add corn (canned or frozen) and chopped hot dogs. As an adult I like polish kielbasa instead. So good!
Christine, I love your videos and I'd love to see you do international frugal family meals. thanks for all your hard work.
Great video! Lots of yummy recipes! Thank you.
