Love the no waste meal plan! Sunday, I used up the ends of 4 bread loaves (I was saving it in the fridge), the last of a bag of frozen sausage patties, 1.5 cups of blueberries & 6 eggs that were aging. It was a delicious brunch that used up so much stuff that would've been wasted! 4:56
Dawn, you have worn off on me. I am also making meals and not wasting any of it! I am glad to hear u got rid of those black flimsy containers. When u said they were peeling, I wanted u to know they release toxic chemicals, especially when u heat them up
Dawn, you never fail to impress me! What a fine job of meal planning & cooking I've ever seen. Look at all the money saved by preparing & eating at home.. way better being made at home. You are remarkable, keep up the good work. 😊
I made chicken enchiladas with salad and fruit, chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli, vegetables beef soup (we eat everything twice). Yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, toast for breakfast. Salad, ham/turkey sandwiches, fruit, soup, cheese for lunches. Celery/peanut butter, cheese stick, iced coffee smoothie for snacks. Mom has popsicles.
When my dad would come visit from Florida, the first thing he did was go straight to White Castle. He would stop on the way home from the airport, even before seeing all of us. 🤪
Money Mama if your family doesn't want that berry bread I'll eat it! 😋 I'm working double shifts this week(yeah!) so I did some meal prep. I made cheese enchiladas, a bunch of beans, hamburgers, & a chicken breast. I eat a pb&j sandwich everyday for my work snack so I made about 10 & put them in the freezer. I cut up cereal bags & put a piece in between sandwiches so they don't stick together. I also left them in the same bread bag they came in & they're fine! Lol, i was worried they might be soggy. Hey guys I just wanna say Thank Y'all for the money saving tips. I managed to avoid dipping in my savings account & now that I'm working full time again, I hope to add more to my emergency fund. 😄
Just to let you know some stores recently announced a recall on their vegetables. There is also a recall on some dips. A popular meat brand has a recall on their lunch meat and some of their package foods. Please google for additional information.
For this week's meals, I made a big pot of shrimp and broccoli fettucinni alfredo, which is served with garlic bread, and a frozen bag of honey chicken (on sale), with jasmine rice and green beans for sides. It's REALLY hot here, so we've been having grapes for snacking, and when they're gone, I'll peel and cut up the bag of oranges and toss them in coconut flakes, to make ambrosia. Fruits are so cool, juicy and refreshing in this heat, plus we eat fruit for breakfast, snacks and sometimes even dessert.
Hi good to see someone else that likes potatoes . I think white potatoes get a bad rap . They are nutritious some quick research- One medium-sized white potato has about 110 calories, 26 grams of carbohydrate, 3 grams of both fiber and 3 grams of protein, and is also free of fat and cholesterol. As for vitamins and minerals, white potatoes are stuffed with vitamins C, B6, niacin, folate, potassium, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus . All that and they taste yummy too. Thanks for sharing.
I love potatoes. However I do remember some words of wisdom I read years ago. “It’s not the potatoes that get you in trouble with too many calories but what we add to them and how we prepare them: oils, butter, sour-cream, cheese, gravy……those with certain medical conditions have to follow their diet and if necessary eliminate potatoes as advised by a nutritionist. Has anyone ever tried “salt potatoes”? Delicious.
My mom always said "you'll never starve as long as you have a bag of potatoes, bag of onions, eggs and canned veggies"! I'm 60 years old, and still make sure to keep all of those on hand, just in case... Mother knew best :)
Congrats on the air fryer, Dawn (would love to see the things you use it for as I'm debating buying a small one myself) and thanks for another great meal prep video!
I love this Idea Dawn these are the days I like to cook 👨🍳 on to makes those side dishes we don’t have time to make last minute you have things made when company drops by
First thing i noticed was the three compartment food containers. I may have to order those. Dawn, you make a nice variety of food. I know some people think too many dessert type goodies, but honestly you feed a lot of people and like to share. Plus i would rather have a homemade sweet treat. I was thinking a nice slice of the lemonade pie. PS i had that mrs. Fields cookie book. I cant find it!
It's really awesome to see what you come up with. This week we are having rye flour/wheat flour chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Our daughter has special ones made with gluten free all purpose/ buckwheat ones. Not really exciting this week on the meal front otherwise. A lentil chili grilled cheese with chunky tomato basil soup Fresh Fruit and yogurt parfait, wirh honey toasted oats. I grate chocolate on top to make it special. Scrambled eggs with cheese, peppers, and cherry tomatoes and toast. Hot cereal night, steel cut oats with fruit. Homemade pizza, with a movie night, weather permitting. If not, most likely black bean soup
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom - Absolutely. I always make a little extra because I never know who's going to drop by. We have a young neighbor who randomly comes because I cook outside. I love it!
MM, add bananas to the spinach smoothie instead of mangos. It goes well with the spinach. Never tried avocado w spinach but I imagine they go well too.
Everything looks delicious. But you made fruit bread, pie, ice cream and cookies in addition to having that huge birthday cake? Wow, that's a lot of sweets for one week. We have nothing against sweets, (my children have a sweet tooth) but we only make a dessert a couple of times a month. I rarely eat them anymore because the sugar gives me a headache and keeps me awake at night. Looks yummy, but I don't know how anyone could eat that much and not be sick!
If one looks at similar products, such as meals and desserts, it a restaurant or bakery, the calories and added fat and sugar are three times higher than if made at home. If pre prepped or made to go, from a store, the calories, added fat and sugar are about half compared to made at home. Made at home ensures less fat, sugar and chemicals to preserve the food being marketed. Making at home, one can decide on things like budget friendly, cheap butter, eggs and milk to the more expensive organic. There is a bit of energy calories, excercise going towards the shopping of ingredients, making the recipe and clean up. Making at home tends to be less expensive.
@@jennyeagan1840 Yes, eating at home is usually healthier than eating out if cooking is done from scratch with quality ingredients. Processed foods used in home cooking can be just as unhealthy as a restaurant or fast food meal. But even if something is made from scratch, we still have to watch how much we are consuming. Cookies made at home are still cookies!
how do you know what is in each container. when frozen everything looks the same.. i make a lot of stews and use different colour lid or just write the month date in black washable ink. good on you for the vairiity meals
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom Dawn, research indicates that leftovers should be eaten within 3-4 days because after that, the risk of food poisoning goes up. 9 days is way too long.
I'm due for a physical. Last I knew my body is working on being diabetic. Funny since I was once hypoglycemic. You mentioned you weren't buying buying "snacky" stuff, but you make sweet breads and pies
Can u give saving money tips how to spend less ur giving me idears how do u not go buy things ur pretty good at saving i been obbsed with saving money for years i jeep stressing that im gonna end up spending coffe places or random shops i cant control my problems u seem great at it x
Do you have a second fridge for these meals? I cook about twice a week but it’s hard to find space. I wonder if an apartment- or dorm- size fridge would be worth having.
That's the air fryer I want! You are saving so much money with your meal prepping and paying attention to what is being eaten is smart. No food waste!
Thank you

Grew up on White Castle. When I had cancer and no appetite I could eat 1 cheeseburger White Castle a day.
When my dad would come visit from Florida, the first thing he did was go straight to White Castle. He would stop on the way home from the airport, even before seeing all of us. 🤪
Ah memories. I hope you are well
You’re a very organized lady. I can portion out entrees, but we eat a lot of fresh vegetables and salad, so have to do them fresh.
When I did meal prep in this way I did up green salads and set them beside the meal ones. They rarely were left behind.
I meal prep my salads in mason jars, upside down. They stay fresh for at least 4 days!
@@traceyelliott2902 Do you mean you turn the jars upside down? I’m going to try storing salads in jars for a few days.
I LOVE your cooking shows ! Love seeing what all you make ! Love you too !!! ❤️🌸💗🌺🥰
Thanks so much
I hope you love your air fryer as much as I love mine!
Happy birthday to your daughter
Thank you so much

Amazing work as always. I like how you break up the prep and just make a few items each time, not like a month’s worth.
I appreciate that!
Congratulations on the air fryer purchase. Enjoy the meal prep videos.
Thank you!
Great meal ideas. This week I made: fajitas, waffles and chocolate, chocolate chip zuchinni bread.
Sounds great!

When I make roasted potatoes I use Italian salad dressing.
I know this will sound harsh but only make cookies once a month. It saves money and time and calories for all!
Happy Birthday to your daughter!🎉 I love deserts,so the cookies, bread,and ice-cream sounds so delicious! Love the cooking videos! Thank you.
Thank you so much 🤗

I think she puts some of it in the freezer like the lemon pies & berry bread. Plus I think she gives away most of her cookies.
@@LaManteca76 Maybe so, but I'm not sure what the point of doing that every week would be.
You made some delish choices this week!
Good job on it all. Please tell your daughter happy birthday from a money mom fan .
Thank you

How long do you keep these meals in the fridge? How many days will they last? Also I absolutely love that cake. It’s beautiful.
They last a week to 9 days

She’s not the only one she’s cooking for. Her husband and daughter may want something sweet occasionally.

Hello from Michigan
Hi there
I am so jealous of all your food!
Come on over
❤
Where did you find pickled bologna??
Ordered it on line
@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom can I have site??
Nice vid. Do the cookies dry out faster after being frozen?
Yes they do
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom Ok, thx
Add a piece of white bread to your container and that will help keep your cookies fresh.
