I need to come shop in your neck of the woods! Prices are better than here in Wisconsin! As a side note, when I make potato soup and it needs to thicken it, rather than using flour or corn starch, I keep on hand envelopes of Idaho brand mashed potatoes and I will sprinkle in that a little at a time till it reaches the thickness I want! Try it!
add green chilies to salsa too, I make mine with onion, stewed tomatoes and mild green chilies from a can, not spicy at all and its better than some store bought
You and I are so much alike! I save all those little container s and love individually sectioned plates etc. I live with my daughter and she finds my stashes and throws them away!!! I told her they may starve if they don’t start prepping! I’ve got food stashed for us anyway
Benny is a doll! He really likes to eat! Such a cutie pie. Tommy and Julian were really eating and rating Momma’s food 5/5 Mom! Both boys rated Mommy’s food!
They are obsessed with rating the food now 😂 it all started with our top 10 budget meals video! Then I noticed Six Sisters also does that but I’d never seen it until after my kids started the whole thing!

I'M RETIRED AND I HAVE ALOT OF HEALTH ISSUES AND USING A SLOW COOKER IS NO STRANGER FOR ME! I LOVE YOUR PODCAST AND YOUR SLOWCOOKER RECIPE'S!! MY HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE THE CHICKEN BREAST MEAT. HE SAYS IT'S TOO DRY! BUT I WILL BE TRYING SOME OF YOUR RECIPES! THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!
Good tip on the potato, they just love light. So what we did was take a nice clean shipping box and put our 10 lbs in it and it sits on top of another solid box, keep stuff off the cement floor. and I have a tea towel over the folded top. Our potatoes are quite fresh and are far enough away from the Onions not to go rotten. We have the onions nesting in a box with a box lid that fits over it and it has holes n the box, we keep the clean dried skins in there too. that helps keep the onions from going soft. I wash off my onions as i peel them with a paring knife if they may have mold in the top layers. Yes sometimes they do go soft, but we really go through a lot of onions per month, about 5 pounds or more. Apples, Onions and potatoes should not be neighbors when storing them. just a tip
I love how down to earth you are. You keep everything so real. Beautiful family thank you for sharing these easy, economical recipes. I love those packaged beef stew and roast seasoning.

I love your videos when you incorporate your children in it as your quality check CEO's. Whenever I make crockpot chili,I always add frozen corn to it. When done and ready to serve we always serve it over fritos or tortilla chips crushed up,cover the chips with chili,then cover the chili with shredded cheese,sour cream and cilantro on top. I also serve cornpone with it as a side. Cornpone is cornbread with corn in the batter and then bake in a cast iron skillet in a 400 degree oven!

The taco chili is a great base for fiesta salad, which is the chili mix on a bed of rice and corn chips,topped with lettuce, tomatoes and taco fixing (cheese, sour cream, salsa). Was a popular school lunch meal.

Green potatoes are fine to eat as long as you fully cook them. The green is chlorophyl from setting above the dirt when the potatoes were growing! I have eaten alot of green potatoes during my lifetime and i am fine!

I still need to make the fish stick tacos! Love this Mashup! SO many great ideas. I love how your pantry videos really mean whatever in the pantry. Your substitution ideas are all excellent ways to wing it through with what you have. Keep the ideas coming!
Love Love all your 15 crockpot meals don't know which one to make first wish you had a cookbook just for all your crockpot meals also love the my way you substitute things not always have what we need ty so much and it boys so cute Ben just steals my ❤️
Thank you for your recipes n your budget suggestions for crockpot meals it’s just me n I do a lot of crockpot cooking because it is quick n easy n much cheaper but what I like about your suggestions is the ideas of substituting what I have on hand in my pantry n refrigerator thank you!!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful crockpot meals recipes. So many ingredients that I can get at Aldi which is walking distance from my house. These meals sure save time and money in this crazy time. Just wonder if my 4 1/2 qt cooker is big enough with these recipes?
I saw a tip, from another RUclips channel she used corn starch or flour, to sop up the grease without using a paper towel to remove the grease, stirred it in and it made it thicker, sopping up the grease. Thanks for all that you do Maria.
I like that! If you don’t like the extra fat in general, I can see not wanting to do that but to include the natural animal fat for nutrients and calories without it being oily, this is a good tip!
@@MealsWithMaria, Keep in mind sopping up the animal fat or grease with flour or cornstarch would be the same as making a roux or a slurry to thicken gravies and/or sauces with, which means it would thicken whatever mixture you're going to be Incorporating it back in to. I use a turkey baster instead of paper towels to pull up the excess grease out of the pan with and just put the grease in an empty can, bowl or mug until it cools then throw it away, unless it's bacon grease, I always save bacon grease for future uses. When using a turkey baster, first place your can or whatever your going to be putting the grease in to as close as possible to the pan, tip the pan so the grease will all run to one side then, once it's filled with grease, hold the turkey baster upside down or at least on its side at enough of an angle to prevent the grease from running back out the open end of it until you have it situated directly over whatever you're going to be putting the grease in to then turn it right side up. Otherwise the grease will run out of the open end of the baster all over your stove. It sounds complicated but it really isn't, it just takes a little practice and it works really well and also prevents having to waste paper towels. Just use caution and be extra careful not to spill hot grease all over your stove. Happy Thanksgiving! 😀
ONLY add cornstarch or flour in it to soak up the fat if you’re going to make a rue or going to add a liquid to it. To get the grease out of it just make a circle in the middle of the pan and put a paper towel in there it’ll soak it all up. 😊
Wow! You shared great budget tips and dinner ideas here! I'm making several of these recipes this week, starting with General Tso's chicken! Thank you for sharing!
Maria, these were definitely the best crockpot meals that I have seen on the internet. The chicken vindaloo, the butter chicken, and the General Tso chicken all looked amazing. As did the cheeseburger soup. Thank you for sharing. Happy holidays to you and your family!

First time on your channel...and I am going to subscribe because I love how honest and clear your recipes are. I am a Indian so I make more spicier food but my son really can't handle Indian spices and my daughter is opposite but she would love your recipes, so thank you!! We don't do red meat but your chicken recipes are so easy to make , my college kiddos will also love them.
I’m so glad you are here! Always feel free to give my recipes some more heat! I’m in a similar boat, I love more spice but my kids are another story 🤦♀️ I just try to season it up after it’s on my plate 🤷♀️

I saw a tip once about onions-for times you don’t have fresh on hand, keep some dried minced onion (same with minced garlic) in your spice cabinet. You can reconstitute by soaking in warm water for about 15 minutes. Drain off the water and you’re good to go!

It actually takes a very large quantity of solanine to cause tummy aches (the green of the potato). And solanine comes from being exposed to the sun when the chlorophyll develops , so always keep your taters in a shaded place. Usually the average cook with a couple of green tinged potatoes is not going to cause issues with serving to the family. If it makes ya feel better, by all means, peel it off, but it isn't necessary. If your potato still tastes bitter, then consider cutting off the good part and discarding the greener part, as that will contain the most solanine.

I love that you try outside of the box recipes like indian food. One of my favorites is Tikka Masala. I make it like a roast and use simmering sauce and vindaloo paste over basmati rice a dollop of yogurt and dill on top with naan. One of my absolute favorite meals in the winter time.

Super yummy looking chili, wish we had aldi's so cheap! Wow glad I subbed, love these recipes! You do what I do figure out how to make do with what you have some of my best meals are when I am the most broke. Lol
My family does not like spicy either so this year I planted Nadapenas and Habanadas. They were fantastic. I canned up our own Salsa and froze up a bunch we diced. They really have a great flavor.

5hanks for the meatball recipe. I'm going to make that tonight
You’re welcome!! It’s a winner!!
Love this video! I can't wait to make every single thing.
I love love ur kitchen.. Its gorgeous. So is ur babies..
I still need to make the fish stick tacos! Love this Mashup! SO many great ideas. I love how your pantry videos really mean whatever in the pantry. Your substitution ideas are all excellent ways to wing it through with what you have. Keep the ideas coming!
😀😀 you got it!
What????? People aren't subscribed, that's crazy. I don't even want to miss one video, you're the best.
❤️🤪
Love Love all your 15 crockpot meals don't know which one to make first wish you had a cookbook just for all your crockpot meals also love the my way you substitute things not always have what we need ty so much and it boys so cute Ben just steals my ❤️
😀 I need to get in the PDF/ebook game!
Thank you for your recipes n your budget suggestions for crockpot meals it’s just me n I do a lot of crockpot cooking because it is quick n easy n much cheaper but what I like about your suggestions is the ideas of substituting what I have on hand in my pantry n refrigerator thank you!!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful crockpot meals recipes. So many ingredients that I can get at Aldi which is walking distance from my house. These meals sure save time and money in this crazy time. Just wonder if my 4 1/2 qt cooker is big enough with these recipes?
I definitely think so! The only one that is a bit bigger is the cheeseburger chowder.
I saw a tip, from another RUclips channel she used corn starch or flour, to sop up the grease without using a paper towel to remove the grease, stirred it in and it made it thicker, sopping up the grease. Thanks for all that you do Maria.
I like that! If you don’t like the extra fat in general, I can see not wanting to do that but to include the natural animal fat for nutrients and calories without it being oily, this is a good tip!
@@pennasylvania it absorbs the fat and makes it thicker into a sauce.
@@MealsWithMaria, Keep in mind sopping up the animal fat or grease with flour or cornstarch would be the same as making a roux or a slurry to thicken gravies and/or sauces with, which means it would thicken whatever mixture you're going to be Incorporating it back in to.
I use a turkey baster instead of paper towels to pull up the excess grease out of the pan with and just put the grease in an empty can, bowl or mug until it cools then throw it away, unless it's bacon grease, I always save bacon grease for future uses.
When using a turkey baster, first place your can or whatever your going to be putting the grease in to as close as possible to the pan, tip the pan so the grease will all run to one side then, once it's filled with grease, hold the turkey baster upside down or at least on its side at enough of an angle to prevent the grease from running back out the open end of it until you have it situated directly over whatever you're going to be putting the grease in to then turn it right side up. Otherwise the grease will run out of the open end of the baster all over your stove.
It sounds complicated but it really isn't, it just takes a little practice and it works really well and also prevents having to waste paper towels. Just use caution and be extra careful not to spill hot grease all over your stove. Happy Thanksgiving! 😀
In the south, here in Florida, that's how we make gravy
ONLY add cornstarch or flour in it to soak up the fat if you’re going to make a rue or going to add a liquid to it.
To get the grease out of it just make a circle in the middle of the pan and put a paper towel in there it’ll soak it all up. 😊
Here's a High Five! I love your channel!
Thanks so much for sharing these recipes! Cant wait to try them.
Wow! You shared great budget tips and dinner ideas here! I'm making several of these recipes this week, starting with General Tso's chicken!
Thank you for sharing!
Maria, these were definitely the best crockpot meals that I have seen on the internet. The chicken vindaloo, the butter chicken, and the General Tso chicken all looked amazing. As did the cheeseburger soup. Thank you for sharing. Happy holidays to you and your family!

Yes for the freezer works great, or even add it to a zip lock with your meat, then when you take it out of the freezer it will continue to marinate
Maria, these look fantastic! I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow so this has been a huge inspiration. Can’t wait to try all of these. I actually bought the Swedish meatballs from Aldi, so now I know what I’m doing with them. Thank you for sharing!
Perfect!! I saw those meatballs the other day!

Hoisin sauce is also a really good sauce to brush on salmon or chicken breasts when you are grilling.

Mine came green tinged from the store 🙄

If you put the avocado pit in with the leftover avocado it helps keep them from browning.

Love your videos!!! So enjoyable and informative. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😀
Great job Marie !!!
Thank you!
Your a little cooking angle I love your shows ❤
Haha Aw!
Thanks for tip on tonks and paper towels
Best to only do onions alone. Before meat. It will carmalize. What a great difference. Lots of great recipes you have!
Good idea!
Well Done. I like them all
😀😀
Some great ideas. Thanx! 👌
You’re welcome!
OMG your children are such cutiepies 😍
Aw thank you!
You can cook corn bread with water and it’s great. Very inexpensive and so good. Add some sugar to it and the kids will love it.
nice recipes. I think the chicken ceasar thing might be nice on a jacket potato too, might have to try
Yum new subscriber love from England.
I’m so glad you are here Gina!
Wow great ideas !
😀👍🏼
It's always realistic to make food from scratch

I have just found your channel and have been loving it. The paper towel hint was great, I never would have thought of that!
😀😀 so glad you are here!!!
First time on your channel...and I am going to subscribe because I love how honest and clear your recipes are. I am a Indian so I make more spicier food but my son really can't handle Indian spices and my daughter is opposite but she would love your recipes, so thank you!! We don't do red meat but your chicken recipes are so easy to make , my college kiddos will also love them.
I’m so glad you are here! Always feel free to give my recipes some more heat! I’m in a similar boat, I love more spice but my kids are another story 🤦♀️ I just try to season it up after it’s on my plate 🤷♀️
@MealsWithMaria Thanks! I will watch your other videos as well..these are so my kinda recipes. ❤❤

I saw a tip once about onions-for times you don’t have fresh on hand, keep some dried minced onion (same with minced garlic) in your spice cabinet. You can reconstitute by soaking in warm water for about 15 minutes. Drain off the water and you’re good to go!
You can also buy a bag of onions, dice, and freeze.

These all
Look delicious
It actually takes a very large quantity of solanine to cause tummy aches (the green of the potato). And solanine comes from being exposed to the sun when the chlorophyll develops , so always keep your taters in a shaded place. Usually the average cook with a couple of green tinged potatoes is not going to cause issues with serving to the family. If it makes ya feel better, by all means, peel it off, but it isn't necessary. If your potato still tastes bitter, then consider cutting off the good part and discarding the greener part, as that will contain the most solanine.
I was always told chicken should be thawed before cooking
Some great looking recipies! Love how you always mention alternatives.

I have used green chili salsa in my guacamole when I am short on fresh lime and cilantro. It worked pretty well.

I love that you try outside of the box recipes like indian food. One of my favorites is Tikka Masala. I make it like a roast and use simmering sauce and vindaloo paste over basmati rice a dollop of yogurt and dill on top with naan. One of my absolute favorite meals in the winter time.

Super yummy looking chili, wish we had aldi's so cheap!
Wow glad I subbed, love these recipes!
You do what I do figure out how to make do with what you have some of my best meals are when I am the most broke. Lol
My family does not like spicy either so this year I planted Nadapenas and Habanadas. They were fantastic. I canned up our own Salsa and froze up a bunch we diced. They really have a great flavor.
