    I absolutely applaud you for cooking meals everyday at home. It's fine that some things come from frozen, can or box. The hugest thing is that you and your family are eating home cooked meals, together. You are a rarity in today's world. I hope that you keep it up. Thank You. this was wonderful to see, and your creative meal plans were pretty great as well.

      @@thesimplifiedsaver7052 They will remember eating at the table with home cooked meals. And, if i may be so bold, coming from personal experience, when your children are older and on their own and with their own children, they will probably ask you "Mom, how did you make this or that?". My grown children have done this, i've done this to my mom, my mom has done this to my grandma, and i've seen my grandma do this with my great-grandma's recipe box, which comes from her mom and her mom's mom and so forth down the line.

    I love how real you are!!! So many people on youtube do so much to display themselves as perfect but that's not reality...and it sets people up to feel like failures.
    When you were whispering in the mornings because you have family to consider...that's awesome. And that you're wearing comfy clothes during portions of the video...that's awesome. And how you consider the budget and consider that multiple people may be eating these meals...that's awesome! It just shows that you are genuine and it's just so refreshing to see that you are a true person, being yourself and just trying to take care of your family and help other people out as well!! Thank you for this awesome video! I'll definitely be watching more. ❤

      stacie hitzfelder amen! My first child suffered a birth injury so we had to do things differently with him than with our other two kids. He had issues with texture and would gag and throw his plates. Of course now that my kids are adults (by age anyways) they have these plates that are mats that stick to the table. There is nothing wrong with putting food on the cleaned table surface.

    If you add one tablespoon of vinegar to the water, it’s tenderizes the meat even better, and helps keep it moist. You won’t taste it. She had a pretty good cut of meat there, but it works magic on cheaper cuts. I also have a totally cool crock that is shaped like a regular 9x12 casserole, and works perfect for the breakfast/other casseroles.

    • @910Ginger
      @910Ginger 5 лет назад

      I don't add water to my crock pot bc if I add veggies they will give off their own water which will make it all cook faster and be dryer. I use about 1/2 c to 3/4 cup of balsamic vinigerette. It's delicious! I also wear the meat with seasoning before I place it in the crock pot. :)

    If you sear the roast before adding the veggies, it locks in the flavor of the roast a lot better. Also, if you want to use a thickener, try a corn starch slurry. You won’t get the flavor of the flour. I use it a lot in homemade stew

      Hi Ruth,
      Do you know about the 3 little dots at the top of the video? I just found out if you tap that you'll have the option to tap the Playback Speed which you then would tap any of the number settings above normal. This will slow down the video to a speed your comfortable with. So easy, give it a try!

    PS Have you tried the crockpot liners by Reynolds? They are awesome and it makes cleaning up so much easier!

    I have a lot of respect for her. She is young working mom and cooks meals daily for her family. I'm a full time working mom and find it very difficult to lower the cost of our grocery bill. Living in Alberta (Canada), I know that we already pay more for food than some states in the US. Food waste is also a big concern in our house.

    So as a Man your beauty stopped me. Your content intrigued me and your personality drew me. Seeing your love of family and your commitment to frugality suggests a sacrifice of vanity. I'm a firm believer that outer beauty is indicative of an inner beauty. Then at 1:00, I see a book in the back ground with what looks like "Coffee == Jesus". The bigger picture all makes sense now. Please stay you, just the way you are and don't ever let ANYTHING change you. God Bless! :−)

    One thing I would comment is you should seal the crockpot shut while you’re cooking. It can build up too much pressure and explode. Be careful. Thank you for putting videos of meals like this out there. More people need to see how easy it is to meal prep
