Suggestion for the parsley stems. Chop them small and freeze them then add them to broth soups. Gives the soup added vitamins and color. 😋 Freezing veggies that are starting to go bad is a great way to extend their life. I have bought coleslaw mix that was reduced and blanched it then froze it for use later in soups and stir frys.
The brown skins from the onion are high in quercetin and make an excellent broth. I think emergency meal plans are my favorite in your channel. Our emergency meals always include onions, potatoes, carrots, beans, rice, apples, cabbage, eggs and garlic. It's a great way to stretch our budget and still get good nutrition.
Off topic but would love to see you make a series of how to videos. Such as different ways to make beans, rice, lentils etc. I love to meal prep in bulk and freeze for later meals and you always have such great ideas. Could even take the videos you have and compile them into longer videos of all black, pinto etc beans, then red lentils, chickpeas, etc. So that those of us that know a basic ingredient we need to make can go to find different recipes for it. As we all know they can get repeative quickly but love your spins on them as they are different than my go tos but have always been a hit with my family. Currently making black beans for the week we will have enchiladas, tostadas, and nachos then at least 2 bags go into the freezer for quick meals. This allows me to have easy meals when I dont have time to cook a full meal. Can throw anything in the instant pot fully cooked but frozen for 5-10 min and it will defrost and heat up.
You and your channel have a calming effect on me. Your content is amazing. You are a true "creator." I find myself humming your theme song at various times throughout the day. And if I were to learn that you were doing the vocals on the track, it would be the icing on the cake! I have learned and continue to learn many things from you. Thank You!
awe....thanks so much for this very sweet message 💜 I'm grateful that my video is a calming space for you. 😁 I love that song too! It's so uplifing to me.
Suggestion to stretch the eggs: make pancakes with one egg, the flour, and baking powder. It could stretch one egg for 2 days. And, you can make an apple cinnamon syrup with the core and skin of the apple, water, sugar, and cinnamon.
Red beans and rice salad: 2 cans red beans, drained. About 4 cups cooked rice. 3 stalks celery, 1 small onion, 1C chopped pepper (orange, red or yellow look best, green looks like Xmas😅), dressing of vinegar/oil/garlic, etc. Makes 8 v large servings
Parsley is really high in iron as well! The stems have huge amounts of flavour - I save them and use them in my broth. But in your case, I would probably puree them with some oil to make a herb oil that I can use to both garnish my food and add extra flavour. Just drizzle it over at the end. The parsley oil would also be good in your salad dressing. The reason your bread rose unevenly is probably due to uneven heat distribution in your oven - one part was hotter than the other, and the bread set & formed a crust so it could only rise on the other side. It is no biggie, it will taste the same, it just might not be quite as pretty And thankyou for talking about Koshari - I am going to make that this week for some dinners because it sounds wonderful. I have found a recipe and printed it out.
You're giving me more great ideas! 😁 I originally followed the Kosher recipe from the Mediterranean Dish. It was very good! Next time, I'm going to fry the macaroni to give the dish an added chewy texture. It's a very filling dish. Just make sure you love the sauce that you drizzle over the top and make lots of the fried onions.
@@ArdentMichelle The herb oils are fancy "cheffy" stuff, but really there is no reason we can't make them too... And really, it saves food waste - they don't keep very long in the fridge - about a week, maybe two, but they taste so good that you want to use them anyway, so they get used up fast. Try it with cilantro if you have any - it is the best way to make cilantro last a week! That stuff goes wilty and bad before you look at it, but the oil lasts longer.
Another great, creative, colorful, interesting video! I don’t know if everyone knows that lentils & rice make a complete protein! I look forward to seeing these on Sunday! Have a fun week!!
Great video, as always! You really know how to stretch a dollar, Michelle! I’m in the process of making a huge pot of vegetable soup! I love bringing soup and something small like half sandwich or a small salad for lunch at work!! Blessings, my friend! 😊
thank you thank you thank you 💜 that's so nice of you! 🤗 I appreciate the support! Me too on the soup... It's one of my favorite things to take to work.
I love adding an apple or even only part of one to pancakes. I like my apple to still have a good bite to them so they only cook while I'm making the pancake.
Check out the recipe from The Mediterranean Dish. That was where I got the original recipe from. I think it was a couple years ago that I first made it. Next time, I'll make more onions, and fry the macaroni until it's chewy to add more texture to the dish.
I'm looking forward to trying that bread. I do have a bread machine and have had excellent results from the Bread Dad site. I slice the bread (when cool) and keep out 3 slices in a plastic bag on the counter for up to 3 days. The rest I freeze (double bagged in store bread bags) and take out a slice or two when needed: it keeps well and toasts up nicely.
I was so excited when the notification popped up for this video! I enjoy all of your content, but budget videos are my favorite. Is this your first budget challenge without a tomato! Also, I have found using an electric knife to slice homemade bread seems to work better when you want thinner slices. Less friction, slices stay together better. Kinda crazy to think you could almost gotten another small onion with your 5c. Already excited for next week. You make budget food beautiful. Have a great week!
I think it is my first without a tomato 😂 I like these budget videos too. I'm glad you enjoy them also! Great tip on the electric knife. I do feel like I should have gone back in the store to spend the other .05. I'm sure I could've gotten something else. Thanks so much for the kind words. 💜 See you Sunday!
It's truly amazing what you can come up with for a dollar! Since Dollar Tree has gone to $1.25, maybe you should work off of that. I also feel like wholesome choice should sponsor you!
Seems prices are really good for fresh Fall produce :) Back when I was a child, growing up in Istanbul, my parents used to buy new crop onions and potatoes in the Fall for a whole year's supply. Because, shortly after that prices would start going up. Of course, they have to be stored right or they go bad. I love your market visits, and love your market bag too :) another great inspirational video, I can't wait to see part two. One suggestion, I read somewhere that enriched rice should not be washed as the added vitamin and minerals wash off. Cast iron pan adds iron to the cooked food :) A big thank you once again.
Hello 😁 yes, it's true that rice has added vitamins sprayed on, but rinsing helps to make sure it's clean (rice is highly susceptible to little critters 🤮) also it provides a superior texture. Otherwise it is quite gooey and not something I enjoy eating. Glad you enjoyed my video! 😁
ive noticed no one buys bones to make broth. butchers sell them for really cheap or in some cases gives them. the stems can be frozen to use when you make broth.
Nice, Micheele! The pasta, flour, rice or corn with the chickpeas or lentils, will be a complete protein, with all the amino acids of meat or eggs. Check the price of quinoa and buckwheat in bulk, both of which are complete protein. I like cooked chickpeas fried or baked with herbs. If you bake them dry enough, you can use them as a gluten-free or protein-packed substitute for breadcrumbs. If someone had dry milk at a staple, a tablespoonful would add to the bread batter. You bagged the bread when it was still hot. I saw trouble coming right away.
I thought for sure that you were going to discover that recipe was for two loaves of bread. I was wrong! I don't usually eat white flour, but I'm considering making this because it did indeed look like it toasted up so nicely, even on the first day when you thought it didn't
I am Australian and I too had no idea The U.S. and Australia had different measurements for a cup size......I hadn't even heard of this bread. Thanks so much for the recipe.
I think I would have added some of that parsley (stems & leaves) as well as some finely-grated carrot to those mashed chickpeas in order to make a heftier sandwich. YUM!
That's a lot of baking powder! I've used this Irish Soda Bread recipe: 2 C. white flour, 1 3/4 C. whole meal flour, 2-3 Tbsp. extra flour, 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 2 C. buttermilk (or milk with lemon added). Preheat oven to 430 degrees F, line loaf pan with parchment paper, knead on floured surface no more than 8 times, bake 20 minutes, then turn temperature down to 390 degrees F and bake for 20 more minutes.
I’ve not tried this, but in your bread, using water instead of milk, what about adding a few packets of coffee creamer? Seems most of us have those lying around or can pick them up here and there. I think it would really help replace the flavor and mouthfeel of milk. Your addition of extra fat was great, but creamer is “free” and would add more depth, I think.
Michelle, I was thinking that maybe you could make a couple of pieces of French toast one egg with some water and then you have that last egg French toast seven days
I literally could just drink it😂 I don’t know if you considered making a sweet bread for breakfast with maybe just one banana because there’s a ton of recipes out there that don’t need an egg. Connie’s Rawsome Kitchen channel has a great recipe for banana and pumpkin bread, but I interchange it for whatever fruit I have on hand or desire. I was just thinking that that would give you a whole week of breakfast and you could even French toast the bread to change it up. Thanks for another great video.😁
That bread looks delicious! And that’s interesting about it having no yeast and a large amount of baking powder, I love to make homemade bread and I love it toasted with jam! Also…are Wholesome Choice grocery stores similar to Trader Joe’s? We don’t have either Wholesome Choice or Trader Joe’s in my area. (the nearest TJ is 100 miles away)
Hello 😁 No, Wholesome Choice is a local store. It's actually a Persian store. I've found that a lot of ethnic stores have great prices on produce for some reason. Other things in the store are more expensive though. One of my requirements if I ever move, is that I live within a reasonable driving distance to a Trader Joes. 😂 That's how much I love that store.
Mujadara is usually cooking the lentils, then adding more water and rice and cooking it wild separately frying onions until they're brown. Then when the usually you don't want to overcook the lentils because you're going to put the rice in there and then you're going to the rice cook and sit and then you're going to pour over the oil and the onions add salt to taste and Mujadara is served salad or heated pita bread
Michelle, you said you were not prepared to give up an egg for making something like banana or zucchini bread. Oh how the vegans like myself gasp! We always bake without egg. Baking soda, Potato starch, tapioca flour, vinegar, bean water, flax seed water, or no subs at all😜
I haven't tried baking those without an egg yet...but I would love to try. As you may know, I'm not a big egg eater, but I do like to mix then into videos for those of my viewers that do like them. I forgot to mention, but I was thinking that flax seed mixed into the bread would have been great. Since I'm usually doing extreme budget meals, I can't always have fun with those ingredients the way I would like to.
according to AI, an Australian cup is 250 and an American is 240, so it's not a huge difference. I guess there are a few other measuring differences. Doesn't matter, it turned out tasty anyway.
I use Recipe Tin recipes regularly….I don’t know about baked goods, but all the ones I have tried you can adjust the measurements to US measurements as well as number of servings desired….just an fyi for next time! 😋
Just a question: is your channel only for vegetarian meals? If so, have you ever made a vegetarian lasagna? I think your bread came out beautiful. If you are that good at it, I would never buy bread again. I know a lot of people want dishes for one person and that is fine, but if someone is going to the trouble of making a dish, why not make it up for more than one serving and freeze it in microwaveable containers for later on. This way it might help in a situation of only having $7-$10. If we all become better Stewards of food starting with making a list to see our budget, then what items we can stretch to make our meals with instead of just grabbing items could help us make it to our next paycheck and not have to do this. I take one item and I if it can’t be used in three meals it is not bought. For instance: whole Chicken: served baked, served in chicken salad, served in enchiladas, served in chicken & rice casserole, served in chicken & dumplings, served in chicken tortilla soup, served in pot stickers, served in a pot pie. Now list out ingredients that make up each of these. Then pick out three or four that have at least three of the same ingredients to make them. Then always make sure to boil the carcus for your broth and use in the dishes you pick out. By doing these steps, you will not get side tracked with other ingredients you might not need. I use the tiny bits of meat off of the carcass that is hard to get off before simmering it for broth. I strain my broth and pick through bones etc to find any tiny pieces of meat and use that to make the pot stickers. Then freeze them individually and then place in a freezer bag. I do the same with potato jackets to make potato skins. Also, at Aldi you can buy a ball of pizza dough for only .99 cents. It makes up a medium size pizza or that size cheesy bread sticks. Just some ideas😊
all great ideas 👍 I used to cook more meat on my channel but since I went back to work, I haven't been cooking much meat. I myself don't eat much meat. Thanks for sharing your ideas. 😁
I made ur lentil sloppy joes but fir some reason my lentils didnt soften much and i could figure it out. I wonder y tho i havent cooked with lentils yet after that. Im diabetic so they would b awesome to use as a helthy protein for me so any tips
When you had 6 cents leftover I thought of the time you went into a store and bought two string beans!
I thought of that too! 😂 I probably could have gotten something with the extra .05
These frugal videos are my favorite..you can really stretch a dollar!
Thanks so much! 💜
I am a big fan of your channel, also of Dollar Tree Dinners and Frugal Fit Mom!
Thanks so much!
Me too!!!!
My comfort channel every Sunday! You start a new week off great with your sweet voice and brilliant ideas. ❤
I'm so glad I can help you get your week started off right! 💜

I'm going to do that in just a few minutes. 😂 Filming now!
I enjoy how you add a teensy bit of something to enhance the dish.
You realize how important just a touch of something is when you are on a super tight budget!
The brown skins from the onion are high in quercetin and make an excellent broth. I think emergency meal plans are my favorite in your channel. Our emergency meals always include onions, potatoes, carrots, beans, rice, apples, cabbage, eggs and garlic. It's a great way to stretch our budget and still get good nutrition.
Oh yes good point! 👍...I think I'll use the onions to help make a broth for my soup!

I do the same thing you do, bulk cook. I take Michelle’s ideas and expand them. When I am at the end of my money I enjoy making her recipes.
I ❤ your videos! I can't budget grocery shop or cook to save my life but I just love watching you do it 🤩
this made me laugh 😂 Glad you enjoy my video! and thank you for watching!💜
You are amazing Michelle! I honestly cant believe what you were able to create with $7.
Thanks so much 😁

I just finished doing that for part 2. 😂 We are thinking alike. It was the only way I could figure to make that egg stretch. Either that or waffles.
and they were delicious! I love Granny Smith apples like this!
So much creativity in one video. Thank you!
Thanks so much! 😁
Michelle: "I am not willing to give up an egg!"
If I'm ever in a pickle, I want YOU to be my negotiator! LOL
Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for the complement and also for watching my video! 💜
you never cease to suprise and amaze me with your great ideas !!
Thanks so much! 😁

WOW! As always, great tasty ideas for a super tight budget. Thanks 👍🏻

Yay. Been waiting for another of these.
They are very time consuming so unfortunately this will have to be a 2 part video. Glad you like these!
@ArdentMichelle yep I get that. Plus I know with new job it's been harder to make vids. Dw I'll still watch.
Fantastic video 🌟 You are a great teacher showing people with very little you can do so much❤
I appreciate that 💜
Oh my, that bread and the French toast looks tasty. 😋🍞 I am going to have to try them.
Glad it looks good to you!
Love these videos!!! ❤
Glad you like them! 😁
Another great, creative, colorful, interesting video! I don’t know if everyone knows that lentils & rice make a complete protein! I look forward to seeing these on Sunday! Have a fun week!!
Thanks for watching! 😁 See you next week!
Excellent as always ❤
Glad you liked it! 💜
great ideas thanks michelle
You're welcome! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Your creativity is inspiring. Thank you for this.
It's my pleasure 😁 Thanks for watching!
Love your videos always. I love recipetin eats as well! Great job as always
I appreciate you watching! 😊
Such great ideas!! As always, I was so excited to see a new video this morning!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much! 😁💜
I love your ideas. Thanks a million for your suggestions.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! 😁
The bread is one huge biscuit. I think that is a wonderful idea ! You always do such a great job on these challenges. 🥰👻🎃🍃🍂🍁
Thanks so much! 😁
That bread looks delicious!
It was 👍
Great video, as always! You really know how to stretch a dollar, Michelle! I’m in the process of making a huge pot of vegetable soup! I love bringing soup and something small like half sandwich or a small salad for lunch at work!! Blessings, my friend! 😊
thank you thank you thank you 💜 that's so nice of you! 🤗 I appreciate the support!
Me too on the soup... It's one of my favorite things to take to work.
Have a great week.
I love adding an apple or even only part of one to pancakes. I like my apple to still have a good bite to them so they only cook while I'm making the pancake.
I think having a little bite to them might be best too!
Such great ideas!
Thanks so much 😁
Great video! Never heard of Egyptian Koshari before but it looks like comfort food of all types mixed together so I can only imagine it's delicious!
Check out the recipe from The Mediterranean Dish. That was where I got the original recipe from. I think it was a couple years ago that I first made it. Next time, I'll make more onions, and fry the macaroni until it's chewy to add more texture to the dish.

If you have garlic you can make garlic fried rice
This was great. I subscribed and now want to try these recipes you did. Thank you for sharing this
Great video! Thanks!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! 😁
For .05 you might get a jalapeno for seasoning.
true 👍
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊 Thank YOU for watching!
You made that bread look really yummy! ❤
Glad you think so. I was surprised I liked it that much. I've been avoiding baking white bread for years. 😂
Amazing!
Thanks so much! 😁
Slice bread and then put it in the freezer. the fridge just dries it out. it thaws out really fast and is still moist.
that's true 👍 I do freeze a lot of my bread.
It's truly amazing what you can come up with for a dollar! Since Dollar Tree has gone to $1.25, maybe you should work off of that. I also feel like wholesome choice should sponsor you!

@@ArdentMichelle it looked amazing! I might try it with 1/2 whole wheat!
When you were at Walmart and the guy standing at the door that is what I do for work. I also check receipts..
I guess Walmart is a place that a lot of people steal from. It's getting bad because almost all of our local cosmetics area is under lock and key now.
I am Australian and I too had no idea The U.S. and Australia had different measurements for a cup size......I hadn't even heard of this bread. Thanks so much for the recipe.
You could have ground flax seeds and use that instead of eggs.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't have been able to fit flax seeds in the budget...but great idea! 👍
I think I would have added some of that parsley (stems & leaves) as well as some finely-grated carrot to those mashed chickpeas in order to make a heftier sandwich. YUM!
that would have been delicious!
Also, you are a genius who should teach high school students life skills
💜 thanks so much!
Thank you from Oklahoma! ♥️🇺🇸♥️
Thanks for watching! 💜
That's a lot of baking powder! I've used this Irish Soda Bread recipe: 2 C. white flour, 1 3/4 C. whole meal flour, 2-3 Tbsp. extra flour, 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 2 C. buttermilk (or milk with lemon added). Preheat oven to 430 degrees F, line loaf pan with parchment paper, knead on floured surface no more than 8 times, bake 20 minutes, then turn temperature down to 390 degrees F and bake for 20 more minutes.

Well what is a American cup? A cup in kiwi land is 250 ml. One quarter of a letre. It's metric
Same in United States.

I only see a cups measurement and a metric measurement. Where is the US measurements listed?
Your recipes look very good, and I wish I liked beans and rice, but I don’t, especially beans. Your creativity is nice to watch.
Just a question: is your channel only for vegetarian meals? If so, have you ever made a vegetarian lasagna? I think your bread came out beautiful. If you are that good at it, I would never buy bread again. I know a lot of people want dishes for one person and that is fine, but if someone is going to the trouble of making a dish, why not make it up for more than one serving and freeze it in microwaveable containers for later on. This way it might help in a situation of only having $7-$10. If we all become better Stewards of food starting with making a list to see our budget, then what items we can stretch to make our meals with instead of just grabbing items could help us make it to our next paycheck and not have to do this. I take one item and I if it can’t be used in three meals it is not bought. For instance: whole Chicken: served baked, served in chicken salad, served in enchiladas, served in chicken & rice casserole, served in chicken & dumplings, served in chicken tortilla soup, served in pot stickers, served in a pot pie. Now list out ingredients that make up each of these. Then pick out three or four that have at least three of the same ingredients to make them. Then always make sure to boil the carcus for your broth and use in the dishes you pick out. By doing these steps, you will not get side tracked with other ingredients you might not need. I use the tiny bits of meat off of the carcass that is hard to get off before simmering it for broth. I strain my broth and pick through bones etc to find any tiny pieces of meat and use that to make the pot stickers. Then freeze them individually and then place in a freezer bag. I do the same with potato jackets to make potato skins. Also, at Aldi you can buy a ball of pizza dough for only .99 cents. It makes up a medium size pizza or that size cheesy bread sticks. Just some ideas😊
all great ideas 👍 I used to cook more meat on my channel but since I went back to work, I haven't been cooking much meat. I myself don't eat much meat. Thanks for sharing your ideas. 😁
and I would love to make a lasagna this winter.
I made ur lentil sloppy joes but fir some reason my lentils didnt soften much and i could figure it out. I wonder y tho i havent cooked with lentils yet after that. Im diabetic so they would b awesome to use as a helthy protein for me so any tips
It looks like you good have made two loafs of bread.
I think so too!
It may be just me but I find the portion sizes unrealistic.
But then again that may explain how over weight I am
It was enough for me, but for $1 a day it's not going to be huge portions.
@@jackielowe2895 I am not overweight but the portions are very small
A touch of hot sauce 😢😅
Do you ever eat meat? I'm just curious.
sometimes tacos or chili.
but rarely. However, I do cook it frequently when I'm making food for a carnivore that I love 💜
