I don't cook well and I don't work out and most of my kids are grown and out of my house , I have. One 17 year old child left and a weekend granddaughter visit . I love her channel though. She's so real and down to earth and I love her sarcasm .
We do a combo of fresh & convenience. My husband does the cooking, so I figure that’s a good trade off. We always have a salad and / or a cooked vegetable with our meal. Our main dish is usually a protein with other ingredients. We have meatloaf, soups, lots of chicken dishes, occasionally a non meat dinner, like homemade Mac & Cheese. When we take a meal to a family member or a friend, the Mac & Cheese is our go to. Great meals Christine!!
That's because people have no clue what a serving size is! I was shocked myself to realize how many servings I was eating. We in the US eat way too much! 93lb loss eating healthy foods in proper proportions. Still a long way to go, but I'll get there.
This is amazing! We have stepped off keto and decided to do portion control and watch what we eat instead of cutting whole food groups out.. here’s to the next 30 days!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos!! I've never been good at grocery shopping. I always spend $50 for one person for one week. This last week, I used your tips and I saved $20 on groceries, which was 33% off my order!! So now I have 2 weeks worth of groceries for only $40. ❤
I made your crusty bread and put in one sprig of fresh rosemary (chopped) and served it with a tomato based soup. It was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
chickpea curry! saute an onion add two cans chickpeas some garlic and a couple of teaspoons curry powder a can of coconut milk let simmer while you make rice. Hit it with some sriricha and garnish with cilantro if you have it. BOOM!
Sarah S If you saute the onions and some garlic with a little oil, then add the dry curry powder and a bit of chillie flakes when half way done. That will bring much flavor in those spices out, keep stirring for a bit, 2 to 3 minutes on low. If it gets a little brown that is just fine. That is how we do it. Now add all wet ingredients as usual. Notice how aromatic and tasty it will be.
Yes!! Also if you have fish sauce (and you're not vegetarian or vegan, obviously) it really helps with that umami flavor for the curry. I lovvvvvve me some curry! Especially the kind with the coconut milk ☺️
Don't take it personally a lot of people don't understand what an actual serving size of food is those recipes look super easy Frugal and delicious I want to try that nothing soup
That's certainly the case with my mother-in-law. I usually hate mushrooms (it's a texture thing), but I clean my plate whenever she makes them. She also made this magical sweet potato dish several years ago that I still dream about.
I really have enjoyed finding your channel.. but I just have to comment on how great it is to see your kids so cooperative with you. I love seeing your daughter smiling and fun such a contrast to teens today that are pouty and grumpy.. love watching how you all interact..
I made your 4 ingredient bread yesterday, 2 loaves. They turned out perfectly, just like yours. Thank you for sharing the great recipe. MY 3 guys especially thank you!
My quickest favorite meal: Left over roasted chicken (chopped/sliced), warmed in a pan/pot, bag of steamable veggies of your choice (or left over veggies) can of Rotel diced tomatoes of your choice and we add olives (kalamata) . It really stretches and you can really play with it. Takes about half hour to come together. I make it frequently with what ever we have left over. I've substituted other protein as well.
My boys are men now, ages 44, and 42,with families of their own. I ❤️ LOVE to cook!!!!! It’s just me, I enjoy cooking for others. I’m retired from medicine. I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming.
I'm only 5 minutes in and I have subscribed! Love your editing style, and I've never even heard of pork with peach/Worcestershire! It's going on next week's menu for sure!
Greetings from a fellow Texan 👋🏻 Last night I made “what-we-have soup.” 😆 Potatoes, sweet potatoes, venison meatballs, and I dropped in some dumplings. Thank you for the ideas! I so often get in a food rut. I love chorizo too!!
I made "what we have soup" last night too. Mine was chicken thighs, potatoes, celery, carrots, garlic, onions, spinach, peas and corn. I also had blended some oats into oat flour for muffins earlier and had about 1/4 cup left so I threw that in there to thicken it up a bit. It's kind of a cross between a soup and a stew. I got a dinner, leftovers for lunch, and a big container for the deep freeze out of it.
Amanda Burger that sounds so good!! It was perfect soup weather last night where we live. I’ll have to remember to try spinach in soup some time! I love it with my scrambled eggs in the morning but I’m always looking for more ways to use it before it goes bad lol.
This is my favorite thing to do, it’s east & just about always turns out good. + it’s an easy way for me to use up the last bits of something before it goes bad.
Sarah Hurley I call it stone soup, after the story by the same name. Sometimes at work after thanksgiving meal, we used to all being a veggie and one lady would take the leftover turkey and make soup with everyone’s veggie offerings. It was always delicious! I made a vegetable soup earlier this week just with beef and whatever veggies I had in the freezer, fridge, and pantry. It made a lot and was tasty. I put the rest in the freezer for next week.
Chocolate chip cookies tip 💖 Make your dough ahead of time, scoop them onto your sheet, freeze them for like an hour, put the frozen balls in a freezer bag and leave in the freezer for about two days minimum and all the flavors meld together perfectly. I quadruple my recipes and freeze cookie dough so I can pull out the perfect amount for dessert whether that's 1 or 24! 💖💖 Also I'm from Gonzales! What part of La is your family from?
Note when I did the 100% whole wheat I had to us 2.25 cups of water. You have to make it extra wet (wetter in appearance than you think it should) because whole wheat takes longer to absorb water. I also used 1.5 tsp of yeast and no extra gluten. Turned out great!
gf your videos are addictive.. I'm using up all my data! Inspiring I really appreciate all your ideas and tips.. thank you! I can't wait to share them with my family 😘💞
My family loves your bread! I had some old wheat flour I had ground up in my freezer. Made a loaf with it. I used 2 cups whole wheat and 1 cup white. It was definitely denser than the white, but absolutely delicious! I also use a parchment sheet to let mine rest on, then I can just pick it all up and set it in my dutch oven. That way, I'm not touching the dough. I've also never had red beans and rice, but want really to try it! Thank you for your awesome videos!
Hearing you talk about your Texas and Louisiana sides AND wearing an Aggie jacket made me smile big time. I’m from Texas, husband’s from Louisiana and we met at A&M. We found your videos the other day and are hooked! A fun twist for your red beans and rice recipe... I did black eyed peas and rice the other night and after mixing them together it was like jambalaya (without the spice)
I just recently found your channel, and I SO appreciate that your recipes are so simple and quick, and you use what you have! You don’t fuss over every single ingredient and just make it work. I love it! ❤️
U rock! I’m so glad I found ur channel!!! I’m a married mom of 3 adult kids and still learning how to meet my budget with food we all enjoy! Thanks so much!
I just stumbled upon your channel and I have to say, you do an amazing job editing as well as showing exactly how to use those pantry staples. I have so many beans in my pantry that I bought with good intentions of using but for some reason, beans intimidate me. Thank you so much for showing simple, tasty ways to eat frugally at home. I absolutely smashed that subscribe button!
Thanks for mentioning freezing the fresh herbs! I bought some for soup that I don’t typically buy, and I didn’t know I could freeze the rest, so seeing this was perfect timing.
An oldie that I had missed - glad it came up on my feed as eating from the Pantry, Freezer, Cupboards is definitely needed right now. Luckily they are filled so like you guys, I, have several choices. * I often use mixed Fruit for a quick sauce on Chicken, Pork Than you for all your great ideas
I'm sorry people are shaming you into thinking you aren't serving your family large enough portions. I imagine that kind of judgement can make any mom feel bad. I think you are doing a fine job. Feeding a family of six is tough and you've come up with some pretty creative ides. Thanks for sharing.
You seem to have fun making these videos! I think mom always makes it better. I grew up making this special dinner roll recipe with my mom and couldn’t wait to make it for new husband, it flopped. I had made it all those years with my mom and I suddenly couldn’t get it to work.
You can add all kinds of stuff to no-knead bread to have different flavors. Rosemary, powdered Parmesan, cheddar and green chilis, cranberries and walnuts, a bit of sugar and cinnamon..... the possibilities are endless.
Loved this vid! My husband makes the same bread he uses an old crock pot crock and its lid. He also does 50white/50wholr wheat and it's the best texture and flavor IMO. We have cold weather right now and beams are always so good to cost upto. Ham substitutes can be smoked turkey or bacon. Thanks for the yummy ideas and cute vid.
From a single 26 y.o. in Australia... You are a godsend. I am trying to save for dental work and a car and following your recipes I am saving twice as fast!!
Our southern red beans and rice are what my FIL from Louisiana calls a Cajun style with spices, peppers and spiced sausage with Tabasco. Never seen a ham version, interesting! That pot liquor is GOLD!!
that red beans and rice dish is a blast from my childhood. my parents (E Texas natives) used to make it with hamhocks or the hambone too! that Tony's seasoning is one of my favs XD
I'm so glad I found this channel. I absolutely enjoy watching your sweet family. I laughed so hard when you said you cant be a Louisianaian if you dont have Tabasco bc I was born, raised and still live in Louisiana and I hate Tabasco 🤣🤣🤣 but I do love my Louisiana hot sauce no other brand can compete lmbo
To make Mexican red rice you need to semi fry the rice until it’s translucent to light brown then u put the canned tomatoes or fresh and onion and salt or bullion .
In regards to Red beans and rice. I don't normally have a ham bone or ham steak so I use bacon (1 lb for a recipe) with great success. I define that as my husband at it and raved about how flavorful it was with the sweet cornbread (hubby's a picky eater)
I just discovered your channel and I'm loving you! I don't have a big family and I'm not particularly frugal...but you're awesome to watch, have inspired me and I look forward to your videos. I currently have some dough on my counter to make your crusty bread...my kids will think I'm amazing! Thank you!
Looks so yummy....I can almost taste it lol. At home we call this cupboard soup.... whatever is left in the fridge or cupboard, goes into the big pot of soup. Uses up all the bits and pieces...prevents waste. Love your videos..
SUPER COOL TIP: Plant those sprouted pepper seeds! My mutant seeds were the ONLY ones that sprouted to produce. Sadly my climate makes pepper & tomato maturity difficult but you just reminded me, BUY OLD DISCOUNTED PEPPERS TO START INDOORS ASAP! They WILL produce better than peppers from a seed packet! 😉💚🌱 💖 ur channel. I'm making nothing soup tonite!
I'm not even done with your video but had to comment a huge THANK YOU for linking the kumquat marmalade recipe! I just picked about a pound of them from my friend's house and had no idea what to do with them.
Lol, I have one similar.... mine is a red colored mixing / handled / pour spout / grip ring on bottom.... bowl..... it is the beloved bowl by entire family.... also crazy old!! Pancake, waffle, brownie, cake batter..... bowl..... haha a “carb bowl” I just noticed!
I just found your channel and these are going to be super helpful! We are on that Dave Ramsey life at the moment and it's so helpful to have new ideas so we're not rotating the same meals every week. We're Idahoans as well 👋
I am definitely making white bean soup, glazed pork chops and grapefruit marmalade within the next week. Lately all the videos I've been watching are for recipes my family would love with lots of ingredients I already have. It's excellent!
I just meal prepped a months worth of freezer breakfasts for my husband and did chorizo egg muffins with spinach and cheese and they came out so good. I really enjoy your videos and would love to see you do a meal prep video. All my meal prep items were right around $12 and it saves me so much time!
Try adding some sweetener to the wheat and give the yeast something to chew on. I made commercial batches of wheat bread that comprised of nothing but stone ground hard red wheat flour for years. I only used five ingredients. You needed the sweetener so the yeast give more loft to the wheat flour. It’s kind of dense so it does need some help. There’s not enough readily available sugars in wheat flour like white flour.
I know I'm late to the party :) but these recipes look delicious! I've been scared to make kidney beans in a crock pot since learning that they can make you sick if you don't boil them for 10 minutes first, but in your video (and others) they turn out amazing! Great video :) keep 'em coming :)
Everything looked good! I know what you mean about your mother's food tasting better. I have never been able to make my grandmother's dumplings. She never measured the ingredients, even though I tried. My sister in law has tried, too, but just not the same. I say that her secret ingredient was love ❤
That was so sweet of your mom to take you out to a pizza bar! Its been forever like when I was a little kid and we would go as a family and honestly I don't think we even have one around anymore =( I really enjoy watching your videos your so inspiring!! love the movie snippet "got any cheese!?"😂
Have you tried adding a couple of red peppers to your spanish rice? I do 2 peppers, 2 onions, 2 cloves of garlic and then 3 cups rice and 6 cups of veggie broth. Of and one small can of petite diced tomatoes. SOOO good!!! I've made it 3 times this week and I'm putting it on the meal plan for this next week.
Whole wheat doesn't have the gluten levels white flour does. You will get a better rise by adding gluten or using half white flour. Looking forward to trying some of these recipes
I just made the no knead bread today and its SOO GOOD! I don't have a dutch oven, so I used my roasting pan. I will be making this again. Thanks for the recipe.
Hello! I've been testing bread recipes for a while now. It's probably not the water or time that's the issue here but more the flour ratio in your whole wheat bread. I'd try to add some white flour to your whole wheat bread otherwise you'll always get really dense bread (60% white bread flour and 40% whole wheat). Great video!
Omg..I'm on my 2nd batch of the bread recipe and found it hard to cut it...and that was looks way easier...THANK YOU. I will try that next time...and awesome bread. Thanks for sharing.
My husband makes this bread and he got and electric knife to cut through the crust and make nice slices. We got it a thrift store for a few bucks and its great for meat too.
Love your videos! I’ve been binging on all the ones where you make meals from budget shopping and the pantry ones are just as good. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and we just bought a house. I’ve been trying to do better at budgeting and saving (been doing freezer meal ziploc bags for crockpots) but we always end up over spending. Anyway you’re an inspiration. And your family is so beautiful 😘 Btw “your animal wants you.” Made me laugh out loud my husband woke up lol
I don’t cook, I don’t have any kids, I don’t work out, and I’m not religious. But I’m a huge fan of your channel. Love you, Christine. 💕
I keep coming back to this channel as it feels like a judgement free zone...laughed at your comment sodasiren 😂

@@riasingh I agree. She doesn't seem to judge any of us if we can't afford what she can . I love her sense if humor too.
I think people don't realize how dense food can be when you're cooking whole food from scratch. Big difference.
I never thought of it that way but it's so true, pre-made stuff never seems to fill me up!
@@lalaprofesh So true!
Absolutely!!!! It’s filled with real food rather than the fake stuff POSING as food!!!
I call it "food-like" substances.
We do a combo of fresh & convenience. My husband does the cooking, so I figure that’s a good trade off. We always have a salad and / or a cooked vegetable with our meal.

I dont live in the US, but I do really love watching grocery and meals on a budget. Weird as is sounds but its my dream to do groceries there. 😊
Same girl, I live in Argentina and we don't eat nearly any food from her videos but still love them!! I also dream to just walk in a walmart there lol
I don't know where you live but you have to understand that these cheap prices mean garbage food. Like, I literally feed my dogs better.
I live in los Los Angeles and im blessed to live in the US. I also go to whole foods not walmart to buy food lol.
chickpea curry! saute an onion add two cans chickpeas some garlic and a couple of teaspoons curry powder a can of coconut milk let simmer while you make rice. Hit it with some sriricha and garnish with cilantro if you have it. BOOM!
Sounds great. Love curry

That will bring much flavor in those spices out, keep stirring for a bit, 2 to 3 minutes on low. If it gets a little brown that is just fine. That is how we do it.

This one's going in my book!!!
One of my favorite meals! I like to add ginger, diced tomatoes and chopped spinach too! So good!
Yes!! Also if you have fish sauce (and you're not vegetarian or vegan, obviously) it really helps with that umami flavor for the curry. I lovvvvvve me some curry! Especially the kind with the coconut milk ☺️

Christine: we make the same recipe but I don’t know why hers is better
Also Christine: she makes her in a crockpot but I make mine on the stove
Hahahahaha!!!
I was just gonna say!!
I noticed that giant difference too. Hilarious.
Hey there and Hi fellow Kerr 👋🏻😆
I was thinking that too…that’s exactly why. 😂
Everything tastes better when your Mum makes it! :) I think it is a universal law or something.
That's certainly the case with my mother-in-law. I usually hate mushrooms (it's a texture thing), but I clean my plate whenever she makes them. She also made this magical sweet potato dish several years ago that I still dream about.

It's magic. ❤
Not my momma on Christmas Eve she made ham and it was not done all the way I'm like mom I need to get u a meat thermometer for real. 😂😁

I like watching your content, some of your recipes look great and your food haul videos are also fun to watch.
Lol, I have one similar.... mine is a red colored mixing / handled / pour spout / grip ring on bottom.... bowl..... it is the beloved bowl by entire family.... also crazy old!! Pancake, waffle, brownie, cake batter..... bowl..... haha a “carb bowl” I just noticed!
I never soak my beans. I just put them in the instant pot for 45 minutes. They come out perfect
I just found your channel and these are going to be super helpful! We are on that Dave Ramsey life at the moment and it's so helpful to have new ideas so we're not rotating the same meals every week. We're Idahoans as well 👋
I am definitely making white bean soup, glazed pork chops and grapefruit marmalade within the next week. Lately all the videos I've been watching are for recipes my family would love with lots of ingredients I already have. It's excellent!
Watching this now. Christine totally did a Tenet time inversion at the middle of this video!
I like to sauté bell peppers, onion and fresh mushrooms and make veggie quesadillas! Sautéd spinach is good too!
Cookies and all, what a good friend you are!
Lovely family... Yes mom is included 😊
I just meal prepped a months worth of freezer breakfasts for my husband and did chorizo egg muffins with spinach and cheese and they came out so good. I really enjoy your videos and would love to see you do a meal prep video. All my meal prep items were right around $12 and it saves me so much time!
This is such a fun channel to watch. Thanks for the frugal food ideas!.
Glad you enjoy it!
Try adding some sweetener to the wheat and give the yeast something to chew on. I made commercial batches of wheat bread that comprised of nothing but stone ground hard red wheat flour for years. I only used five ingredients. You needed the sweetener so the yeast give more loft to the wheat flour. It’s kind of dense so it does need some help. There’s not enough readily available sugars in wheat flour like white flour.
Good morning!! I hope everyone has a great day 💜💜💜💜
Great videos 😁 especially the one about the food bank... New to the channel...l love that spoon haha... You do an amazing job
I know I'm late to the party :) but these recipes look delicious! I've been scared to make kidney beans in a crock pot since learning that they can make you sick if you don't boil them for 10 minutes first, but in your video (and others) they turn out amazing! Great video :) keep 'em coming :)
I have the same bowls but in teal and you can get them from walmart - Comes in a 3 pack of different sizes
Everything looked good! I know what you mean about your mother's food tasting better. I have never been able to make my grandmother's dumplings. She never measured the ingredients, even though I tried. My sister in law has tried, too, but just not the same. I say that her secret ingredient was love ❤
Chorizo & beans tacos OMG THE BEST 😍
i am new to your chanel , we are only 2 at home but you have so many good tips and receipe that can be down sized . i just cant stop watching .amazing
That was so sweet of your mom to take you out to a pizza bar! Its been forever like when I was a little kid and we would go as a family and honestly I don't think we even have one around anymore =(
I really enjoy watching your videos your so inspiring!!
love the movie snippet "got any cheese!?"😂
That rice and beans dish looked delicious!! Thanks for sharing!
Have you tried adding a couple of red peppers to your spanish rice? I do 2 peppers, 2 onions, 2 cloves of garlic and then 3 cups rice and 6 cups of veggie broth. Of and one small can of petite diced tomatoes. SOOO good!!! I've made it 3 times this week and I'm putting it on the meal plan for this next week.
Whole wheat doesn't have the gluten levels white flour does. You will get a better rise by adding gluten or using half white flour.
Looking forward to trying some of these recipes
Ha! I have Tabasco in my pantry, our lake house, and that tiny one in my purse (and some packets in my purse too)! It’s serious for me.
Try frying the chorizo with the bean. Chorizo and rice is great too.
I love your sense of humor! All pf the food looks delicious
I just made the no knead bread today and its SOO GOOD! I don't have a dutch oven, so I used my roasting pan. I will be making this again. Thanks for the recipe.
Love your contagious humor and happiness! Thank you for sharing!
Yummy. Tortillas are amazing for quick dinners- quesadillas, tacos, burritos are a mainstay
I do half all purpose flour, and half semolina flour for my Dutch oven bread. Gives a bit more texture/flavor.
Such a nice thing to do for your friend ! There should be more ppl like you !
That’s it, I’m starting a pot of beans as soon as I finish sewing curtains for my kitchen.
Hello! I've been testing bread recipes for a while now. It's probably not the water or time that's the issue here but more the flour ratio in your whole wheat bread. I'd try to add some white flour to your whole wheat bread otherwise you'll always get really dense bread (60% white bread flour and 40% whole wheat). Great video!
Omg..I'm on my 2nd batch of the bread recipe and found it hard to cut it...and that was looks way easier...THANK YOU. I will try that next time...and awesome bread. Thanks for sharing.
My husband makes this bread and he got and electric knife to cut through the crust and make nice slices. We got it a thrift store for a few bucks and its great for meat too.
@@pandorahunter I will have to keep an eye out for one next time i go thrifting. Thanks.
Hey that’s how the inside of my freezer looks lol! I’m not alone!
Love your videos! I’ve been binging on all the ones where you make meals from budget shopping and the pantry ones are just as good. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and we just bought a house. I’ve been trying to do better at budgeting and saving (been doing freezer meal ziploc bags for crockpots) but we always end up over spending. Anyway you’re an inspiration. And your family is so beautiful 😘
Btw “your animal wants you.” Made me laugh out loud my husband woke up lol
I LOVE to see Chrisitine BOOM dinners!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your fantastic meals. xo. Beans are life
