I love this show with Daniel. As a part of our homeschooling curriculum for the Fall we plan on doing something like this with our 10 year old. He's been showing more interest in cooking and in the kitchen, so this is perfect as reference! ✌️
That’s so cool he is getting into cooking! 😊
I mx.
Please don't put your 10 year old online. There are horrible perverts out there who scour youtube for children to watch. I'm sure you love your child enough to not put it in harms way.
@@melodioushaste please Hope and Larry very excellent with their children don't need home schooling from anyone on that!
Involve your child in all aspects of this process…meal planning, finding/using recipes, pantry/fridge/freezer shopping, making up a shopping list, looking for sales (including unit pricing), then making up the meals…and clean up too 😊
Daniel is so articulate! Impressive young man.
Yes,he is!💕
Would love to see even more of these type of videos with the recipes
yes, I would also like the recipes please
I will watch the video again and write down the recipes, easy pesy!
Yes! More recipes. Please.
Your son was awesome.
Me, too!
I watch the video as I'm making one of these dishes.
I’m just blown away. I can’t believe I just learned all these recipes in under 10 minutes. I appreciate you guys so much. I’m in L.A. and finding it so hard to make ends meet with the high prices and inflation. This will make my life so much easier. You have no idea what it means to me. Thank you 🙏 btw your son has a great voice. He should do some voice over work. 👍
He also sings beautifully. His goal is to be a 5th grade teacher. I told him he could just sing to his students to get their attention.
Gets it from his mom! :)
This is wonderful! Daniel is an excellent presenter 👍
I rarely ever go in the Dollar Tree. But seems I need to check them out more often. I had no idea they would carry Almond milk.
I never would have thought to put brown rice and pineapple together..for a salad. That looks so good.
That's A LOT of GOOD food for $20!!!
This week I made a large crockpot of veggie soup from fresh garden produce - zucchini, yellow squash, onion, tomatoes, basil, carrots..I was going to put cabbage in also but there was no room...lol..- it made 4 quarts of soup. And I just pickled a gallon of beets tonight.
I keep reading about food insecurity in the US, which is heart breaking.
Tonight your meals and $20 shows there is hope for those struggling.
Not all 1$ trees carry shelf stable 32 oz. Almond milk, mine doesnt but at 1.25 a better deal would be at Aldis or any store that sells 1/2 gallon under 2.50 (Walmart brand, Wegmans)
Recently used lentils (1st time using them) & some finely chopped mushrooms 🍄 instead of beef in my pasta sauce. I couldn't tell that it was meatless!
Four Day Homeste... lentils and mushrooms mixed together I use for tacos. The same mixture with ketchup&mustard& truvia brown sweetener makes a vegan sloppy Joe sandwich! Lentils are SO versatile in my opinion!👍
Sounds good! I had my doubts about lentils until I made Hope's Smoky Lentil Burgers and LOVED it!😁
I've been afraid to add lentils, maybe they're not so scary!!
I have lentils for SHTF. Maybe I have to try cooking them so if I like it, I'll buy some more.
Unfortunately many people are scared to try vegetarian meals which is a pity. I have not eaten any type of meat in over 30 years. The key, as far as Hope is concerned, is condiments which add flavour so meat is not missed. I intend cooking lots more rice and beans.
Great to see Daniel. I love that he is role modelling that saving money and making smart and healthy choices is a cool thing at any age!
Nice to see Daniel - what a great kid, you must be proud. Great meals - I find I eat a lot of this stuff because I like it, not necessarily due to budget - that's just a bonus 😀. Also vegan, I add a lot of veggies, fruits & nuts to meals of course, but in a tight spot, having shelf stable foods like these meals are very handy 😀.
Oh my GOODNESS, what a fine young man! 👍
That was so lovely to have Daniel in the vlog, what a lovely young man, you’ll have to have him in more vlogs, once again Thankyou, Hope, Larry and Daniel xx
What a smart, good-looking kid Dan is! He’s a great helper/presenter. Love theses meals.
A vegan, I am not. However, I eat about 85% plant based low carb diet. I was surprised with the negative comments from folks that know you are vegan. What I don't understand is, if folks have nothing nice, supportative or positive to say, why do they have the need to say anything. I will never read any more of the comments. Thank you for sharing with us, how your family eats. Blessings.
Madeline, thanks so much. People definitely have strong opinions when it comes to food. Honestly, we don't let it bother us. We very comfortable with our dietary choices.
Bless you all. I'm have blessed abundently by you and your family. I've shared your channel with many.
Daniel seems like such a lovely young man! I am definitely going to try the black bean burgers.
Awesome. Including kids in the decisions on money, budget & life skill of shopping on a budget.
Boy these are incredible meals!! Good job guys!!
Daniel and Mom, a winning duo!! Everything looked delicious and healthy! So economical, too.
I made your lentil burger recipe! They were delicious! Very helpful video! Thanks
So great to see your kiddo!
Wow! Bravo! This has been my favorite video of yours so far. And so timely. Thank you!
Very impressive! You plan well!
This is an awesome video! I think you created a ton of healthy food and balanced meals for just $20. Well done!!
I have a tip that could have saved you $1.25. Instead of buying the almond milk, you could have thrown a few oats in your blender with water and made your own plant milk. I often do this when I am baking and save my expensive almond milk for lattes. I use a ratio of 1/4 cup oats to 1 cup of water. I don’t even bother to strain the milk if I am going to use it in a recipe that calls for oats or oat flour.
You're right! I didn't even think of that.
Amazing! Ive been stocking up on dried beans ( in case of emergency) but at age 60 have rarely cooked with them. This gives so many great ideas! Could you please make a video on what to make using pinto beans?
Great recipe ideas to add to my plant based menus!
It was fun watching you and Daniel. He might be a good spokesperson for something!
It was great to watch you shop and cook together. Daniel is a great presenter - he'll make an awesome teacher. Loved all the recipe ideas. My favorite meal is a pinto bean and rice burrito bowl. I could eat it every day. Oh wait - I do!
Great video, thank you so much!
Great ideas and loved seeing your son cooking and shopping with you great job Dan.👍
I think I may try a few of these. Thank you for helping me think about putting something’s together that I wouldn’t have thought to combine. Worth trying for sure.
I love when Daniel comes on your videos, you can really tell he loves helping and is very knowledgeable
He almost chose culinary school, but instead he's an elementary school major and wants to teach 5th grade.
Those dinner meals would feed my family for more than 7 days! Thanks for the tips and ideas!
So many more for me as a single person. Being vegan even 1-2x week saves $$ every month.
We're eating them now and I highly suspect that they'll last us more than 7 days, too.
I'm so excited to see this ❤ I am working on a dollar tree grocery challenge so this is to cool 🙂
How fun!
Are you on RUclips? That would be interesting
@@AliciasKitchen7 thanks, I'll go find you
Daniel has a wonderful speaking voice!! I was doing my dishes and listening and loved very much how he made me think he needs to be a DJ on the radio lol
Thank you Hope& Daniel! Nice to see how you plan and use up what you purchased! Life lessons are being taught! When we homeschool,we never quit learning even after graduation! I learn something new everyday& I have been out of school 39 years!👍
What a lovely presentation from your family. Thank you
Absolutely loved this video.
Daniel is a natural in front of the camera. Good job Daniel!
This was fantastic! Props to Hope & Dan for this fun and informative video :)
This was an awesome video! I am going to watch again and write the recipes down. This is such a blessing to those of us working to stretch our money. Please do more of these, any more plant based recipes would be wonderful. I am plant based but even for those who are not they could just incorporate these recipes into their lives with whatever they do eat. Your whole family is amazing. My husband and I both watch all of your videos. We live in Wisconsin so we love hearing about things in Illinois. Thank you again!! I first found you on Chef AJ!!
I now call Dollar Tree the 5 quarters store. Lots of nutritious meals, and plenty of it. Great video.
Larry's 'sorry' made me chuckle 😂
I’m so excited to try these recipes & go take a trip to Dollar 25 tree! 😊 Very Kool to see how everything was used.
Thank you!
Great ideas and helpful. Thanks 👍👍. Love you videos and blessings for you and your lovely family.
That was interesting! I also find Dollar Tree has the best prices on dried beans and brown rice. I love their frozen blueberries, which are much cheaper than the supermarket. Some of their spices are better than others. I like their garlic powder, Italian seasoning and cinnamon. Occasionally I can find honey wheat pretzel sticks. They have 16 ounce loaves of 100% whole wheat bread most times I go.
Do you have recipes for the dishes you made?
My store must be smaller, Ive never seen blueberries, unless its just the managers choice? 2 lbs of brown rice at Walmart was about .75 c a lb. if theirs's only 1 lb.?
I loved it ❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
what a great video!! I’m so excited to see so many of your recipes in one video!! Healthy recipes for cheap!! Your son has such poise-definitely a future in tv/radio if he wants it!!
He's going to be a 5th grade teacher. But, that will make him a star in the eyes of his students, for sure.
Very impressive! Great job!
Love that you showed these meals. People need to see that eating vegan and vegetarian is not expensive. I would love to see more of the recipes you cook for your family. I like the bolognese sauce. I have to try that. Great to see you cooking with your son.
Wow. This is really impressive. I wouldn’t find it the most delicious thing, but it’s a great way to show it is doable.
Also - just a note that if someone would want to make it even cheaper, if the Dollar Tree is near a Walmart or Aldi, you can get the vegetables for even cheaper.
Great video!
absolutely brilliant you guys. thanks so much
I'm so impressed with your ingredient choices and what you created. Healthy meals and a variety of options. Love it!
Ooooh, these look good!
I have to try them.
I find that as long as you season well, and have staples like flour, rice, etc. you can work the cheapest products into something tasty and hardy. It really comes down to preparation. Now if I could only actually practice what I've just preached... 😂😂
This is one of the most creative uses of these products I've seen on RUclips. I've watched many, many budget cooking/Dollar Tree challenge cooking videos that seem similar to one another. However, your use of basic pantry staples in such a creative way really stands out. Thumbs way up from me!! 👍
How amazing, to cook dinner for a week for what is less than $25. Now, I know you spent $20, but, because you had basic spices, and some condiments, that little bit went really far. What throws me, really, is the massive volume. That is a lot of food!
Oh! YESSSSSSS!
Dehydrate tomatoes, and other veggies, great way to store for the winter, Iturn the tomatoes to a powder ,will last a long time
I wasn´t able to make it for the live show, but watching it now. Very cute and knowledgable son. Really interesting. Here in Portugal, the Euro store, at least the one in the nearest city, mostly sells junk food.
Izzy, we missed you. Some of the other regulars were typing in the chat wondering where you were
Excellent! 😋
Fabulous video! I've got to try my hand at the black bean burgers. I'm so surprised at the sheer volume of food you managed to create, with a healthier twist. Love this!
Wonderful video! You cooked up so much food on so little money. Visually seeing this was helpful to me and my thoughts of going vegetarian several nights a week. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Wow...just Wow
Nice recipes. I love black bean burgers and lentil bolognese! Will consider some of the other recipes too! Daniel is a natural.
My usual Dollar Tree also increased prices to $1.25. I happened to stop in a different location that is also close to my home and they are still charging $1. I was happily surprised!
Thats interesting? Where is that one located, I wonder why. Ive almost given up shopping there due to their 25% increase. Its still good for some things but I use to go in and stock up: mushrooms, pasta, large containers of spices...
@@eveny119 Las Vegas. I noticed their signage had not changed and thought they just didn't get to it. When I checked out everything rang up $1.
It's called Biden -flation. And id f you do the math it comes out to 25percent inflation, WOW.
Daniel was amazing! Would have thought he has been doing this for a long time.
Great job guys!! I love this!😊❤️
Amazing what you all can do! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with all of us!!!
Daniel did a great job! I would like to mention your kitchen handles. I have exactly the same on a kitchen cupboard from 1953 - and I love them. Do not ever think of changing them! My kitchen is yellow, too. Not the same hue, but one I painted myself. I think it is nice, and important, not to throw out kitchens just because they are getting older. They are also more interesting than just a new kitchen!
I hope that Larry is recovering in the best possible way. Many thoughts from Denmark.
I love your cooking show with Daniel got to get larry involved
This was a really fun video to watch. Your recipes look delicious and you season the way I do, a dash of this and a pinch of that.
Very nice show, Daniel and his mom are fun!
I love Daniels voice.
I love the son cooking with his mom. Precious….
Wow that was incredible variety and tons of food thank you
This video inspired me to search my overflowing pantry and make something vegetarian for dinner. I made a list of all the pantry food and was shocked at what’s in there. Thank you both!!
Hope, you and Daniel did an awesome job, for 20.00! I have some work to do, bringing down my grocery budget, cause Wal-mart is way too expensive and I am having issues staying on a budget. Hugs from Texas, God Bless y'all!
What a fun show ! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I'm impressed, well done. I'll have to try one of your recipes for burgers. Thanks!
I love this idea, hope and Daniel! I want to try something like this on my new channel that I recently started! Looks challenging but fun!
Live seeing Daniel, as we know he cooks. Wonderful skills. Food really is a big expensive week to week.
I really loved this video, it was nice to have a family video and I really enjoy the small budget grocery tips. I have to say Hope, Daniel looks just like you!
Great video!! Loved u having a son with u in the kitchen & along for the shopping trip. Great job
Oh my goodness I love it. Thank you for the video
Thank u. Love how quick you did this.
You guys rock! Awesome! Thank you so much! 💗💗💗
Amazing! these are great ideas for cooking with what is in the pantry only. Great video!!
I always love your cooking videos, but this one is extra fun with your son. Great job Daniel!
Nice job. It seems that your dishes are also versatile enough to change up the ingredients, leaving the base as is. Thank you for this! I make “bowls” at home. And I think of my favorite ethnic dishes and add the spices and veggies. For example, Greek style salad bowl would have quinoa, green onions, tomato, spinach, olives, and feta or goat cheese with oregano, salt, pepper, a splash of oil, and red vinegar.
Daniel and Hope, you are my kind of cooks.
Frugal is also picking fresh greens by wildcrafting outdoors, whenever available, and by growing veggies in your own house through the winter. I have parsley, with lots of swiss chard and malabar spinach climbing on tomato cages, growing by my windows and sliding door, (almost south-facing for some sun.) Find a few wildcrafting youtube videos and watch them several times, and practice recognizing the ones/weeds growing near you, which are edible. Also being attentive to recognition details, taste test small quantities. You can even dry some for use in the doldrums of winter.
What a delightful young man. Thank you for introducing him to us!
I love this video! What a way to save money and eat well. Daniel was a great helper. He looks like he has had a little experience. 😉
Great job , guys!
Your posts have been a blessing for me. Thank you. I appreciate learning how to prepare vegan dishes. Again, appreciate your site.
Love these.. Will def try
🤔 I think I have most of these items in my pantry already. Might have to try some of these recipes
It's wonderful seeing Daniel following in your frugal footsteps! Keep up the good work.
I really enjoyed this, Hope! It was wonderful seeing you with Daniel. Please have him on again! What a fine young man.
Great job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love your videos! You guys are awesome! 🥳
Nice to meet you Daniel! Another tremendous video! Awesome ideas! Can't wait to try rice and beans!
Thanks for these great ideas. 😃
