    I am a party of one, 69 years old. I appreciate your dishes and helping us seniors to get by. I know I spend more than I should because I think I have to have ____. Whatever it might be for that day. We are blessed to have access to You Tube where you and others are helping us to stretch our dollars. My goal for this year was to reduce my food budget. I really enjoy trying so many different recipes.

    I like the toasted pasta 😋 it gives a slight nutty flavor and the pasta stays firmer . My neighbor gave me tomatilia (sp ? ) last year and i made green salsa with it . Your recipes look so good! Thank you. I want to make the potato tacos .

      Make your own flavour without the chemicals of packets, or Sodium or MSG. 👍🇨🇦Cumin, hint of herbs you like, sesame oil or light soy ok instead of salts or spices. Cumin or Curry is good for you too. I have Fibromyalgia and it or Turmeric helps me with my inflammation.

      Boils three tomatoes or burn them im a comal for more flavor, one fourth of an añitos three jalapeños, one garlic little spoon of salt blend it, then put a little oil in pan and your salsa wait 5 mnts and there you have your home made salsa for a week or two.

    Sauteing the pasta is a great idea. I wonder if that prevents the pasta from soaking up too much water too. I make a pasta e fagioli and the leftovers always soak up all the soup liquid too. I'm going to try the soup it looks delicious 😋

      @mexicancookingwithgaby6589 You are not wrong however we brown meat, so its less confusing to say toast the pasta. Mostly because we don't typically toast pasta.

We love all the flavor of Mexican food and ingredients are simple and very inexpensive and I cook a large pot of Pinto beans at the beginning of the week and use them thru out in meals as a filler and stretcher so yummy

      Maybe where you live. Not in BC Canada. Meat here costs $12.⁹⁹ for burger meats. No way her budget can be done. I watch for fun. But not her prices. Impossible even discounted it is not possible for me. Single person pension. I am frugal but no way. 🥴🙋🏻‍♀️🇨🇦I live on weiners or cheaper kippers, sardines, discount meat once a month. As in one day treat meal. This is American costs she uses and not saying where she is located I wonder how she has it so cheap.

    No way those are crazy cheap girl. Clearly American pricing for Americans only. 😮Here on the Island? We buy onions, carrots that are priced loose pick always $2.⁹⁹. And up to $4.⁹⁹ a pound loose veg! Garlic cost me $7 just two clumps of about 10 garlic buds per clump. This is in Canada, BC on the Vancouver Island. Carrots, onion, (green onion? even is $1.⁹⁹ per bunch.) Never under $1.⁹⁹! That $10.⁸¹ total? Impossible here! Before Covid maybe I could have gotten half the food what you got at a local corner discount store nearby my house. But bag of 3 pound small only sized Spuds are $3.⁹⁹ alone. 😭🤦🏻‍♀️🇨🇦 I love tortillas! I make flat bread mostly daily. I use just microwaved squash, or sweet potato just that and flour. No milk, baking powder, salt, sugar! Nothing but say Curry or Cumin that I like. I live alone. 😂❤ Where are you located food so vost effective? The priced look to ve farmer market cuz no way cheap here like you have. Please let me know location roughly I am curious. Ty.❤
