    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.

    Sometimes these meals cooked on a tight budget turn out to be the favorites. My husband remembers eating tortillas with lard spread on them with a little sugar. He loved it!!

    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 .

      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.

      There’s a restaurant here that every time I order nachos, the meat is made like this. It was always good, but I was confused at why it was like that. Now it makes sense! 😊

      I have found that thru my experience of trying to be frugal and budgeting meals, Mexican meals by far work the best, at least for us. 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

    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 😋
