    another option i have done when I don't have syrup, but i have jelly (usually peach/mixed berry) is just simply heat it on low and add a bit of water at a time to thin it out.

    It’s just hard to cook for one person. One thing I’ve started doing since my husband passed away is using the slow cooker, mini rice cooker and other dash gadgets. I had a LARGE slow cooker but i hardly ever used it because i found it hard to cook small portions in it. So i got a 2/3 qrt slow cooker which is enough for 2 or 3 meals depending on what it is. I like to get frozen chicken breast and throw 1-3 in the slow cooker take out one shredded it up add bbq sauce and you have one or 2 meals of bbq chicken. You can make chicken noodle soup our of one or chicken vegetable soup out of one. One time i didnt have any pasta but wanted some chicken noodle soup i had some chicken ramen so i boiled a chicken breast in the slow cooker, added the chicken powder from the ramen, some frozen peas, carrots and corn shredded the chicken, then i took the ramen noodles and broke the square in half and ended up with 2 meals. A small slow cooker or rice cooker would be great for ppl with little time

    Hi! Just found your channel. Love it! I’m 63 and never learned to cook. Can u believe it? I was never interested so I ate processed food and/or I ate out. I can’t afford to do this anymore nor do I want to do it. So, I’m going to try to learn to cook. It will be easier to control the budget (I’m on disability). It sounds like you make easy meals for beginning cooks (even old ones. lol!) and you’re budget conscious. Can’t wait to learn from you. Thank you!

    I love to watch the different meals other women prepare. And the different foods they use. I eat only organic and it is very expensive. To get foods with no toxins and GMO’s it is unfortunately the only way. But with your big family and the wonderful different meals you had were very, very nice. I will surely incorporate these ideas , only with organic foods. I enjoyed your video and I just subscribed. Thank you very much for this well planned out video.

    I bought bacon and since there’s only me, I cut the bacon in thirds and froze it,and I’ll only use 1/3 at a time .

  • @ejb777
    @ejb777 4 месяца назад

    It's better to use frozen pack of veges in the fried rice so they still have some firmness rather than canned ones that are soggy. A fried egg on top of the fried rice serving adds more protein and if you grow scallions in your garden or keep chopped up in your freezer, both additions make is more Asian authentic and tasty.

    Wow nice prices, New Zealand prices on a few things are $10 for one dozen eggs, bacon $15 to $20, lettuce $3.50, cheese slices $5, muffin mix $6 think that’s about the $80

    • @Jewelsquiss
      @Jewelsquiss 4 месяца назад

      With the exchange rate: $10 in US is exactly equal to $16.80 in New Zealand so your $10 eggs are $5.95 US Dollars. $47.59 US Dollars is exactly equal to your $80. 😊❣️
