My favorite thing about your videos is that you always say, "Use what you have." I have to say, I am VERY impressed by your egg-peeling abilities. I struggle peeling them with TWO hands.
My father would quite often make cream of peas on toast for us for lunch and it was a way to use up slightly stale bread which would get toasted and then he would make a cream sauce probably with cornstarch and just milk and pour it in slightly drained canned peas and threw in a knob of butter salt and pepper and then they would ladle that over the toast and you would eat it with a knife and fork. We liked it very much!
This video and reading all the comments was very helpful. Due to health issues, My husband and I are retiring early and going on a fixed income. These ideas will really help. Thank you!
I want to thank you for making delicious food & showing substitutions for recipes you/we already make, not just taking some random $5 and buying cheap food to create content. Too many other YTers are making garbage no one should be eating. You make bit easy to make better, more affordable meals at home. Thank you thank you thank you! Bonus? Your boys are such good eaters! Is there anything they won’t eat? They seem to be aspiring foodies. Even little Benny!
Get 1lb yellow spilt peas and place in one veg stock cube. Cover with water and steam until the peas have absorbed the water. Mash together with a knob of butter. Serve with gammon ham
I add the cheapest veggies (carrots, onions, green bell peppers and celery) to all sorts of things. Sloppy joes, meatloaf, etc. I finely chop in the vitamix and saute the water out first. Also, lentils in sloppy joes or meatloaf are also a good way to stretch meat. But not in a way that's obvious to some of the discerning palates in my household.
For a stew try a dumpling. Uk favourite. 4 oz flour 2oz suet ( grated beef fat) pinch of salt, add 2 - 3tablespoons of water. Mix together, roll into balls. Place in stew, 30 minutes & steam, before you serve in the stew. You will get 8 small balls.
I use a recipe from Clara's Depression Cooking for Poor Man's Dinner which is fried potatoes onions and hot dogs or whatever fully cooked sausage you have in the refrigerator. I have used Lil smokies in place of hot dogs because that was what I had in the refrigerator 😊
Im going to try the stew with the hamburger instead of venison, yours looked wonderful! My mom used to do something similar minus the tomato paste. She would thicken it with flour and water. Thanks for the ideas Maria!
Have you mixed batter for fish and chicken with some french onion soup powder and some garlic powder !!!!!!! Makes it darned tasty❤❤❤🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨cheers from aussie

Aw thank you so much!
A Video full of cheap Swaps/Substitude Options would be awesome
I sometimes make meatball stew. Adding an egg and some bread crumbs and making the meatballs on the smaller size seems to stretch the meat.
Thank you for sharing have a nice day ❤❤❤

Mix cheap jar of Alfredo sauce with the noodles, then you add your meat sauce on top. Cheese!😊 Try it sometime, so good my family loves it.
Yummy ideas Maria... Thanks for sharing!😋😋

Those meals look so yummy! Thank you for sharing!
I live in Canada now and so sure miss suet for dumplings but any fat will do - butter, lard etc. but it’s not as nice as suet.

Yummmm!!!
We eat this often. Always potatoes and onions. Sometimes add green or red or yellow peppers. Have used little smokies but usually smoked sausage.
We used to add ramen noodles to rice in casseroles when we were really hard up.
Yum! Sounds like rice a roni!

Hi maria, I love your channel and the recipes you make.
Where do you source the recipes from
I do cook spaghetti but sauce I buy it Classico Italian sauce
I cook rice Groceries prices is sky rocketing meat is so expensive potatoes is not cheap
cool
What salt and pepper "shakers" do you have?
😷💚
😋👍
Ground beef isn’t cheap anymore. Ground chicken or ground pork I found is cheaper.
Both would work!
Where did you find ground venison what
It was at my local grocery store! A product of New Zealand who knew?!
@@MealsWithMaria Venison is very lean and good as meatloaf too!
Ok thanks

I'm all out of spam😢
Walmart has a cheaper luncheon meat. Different from spam but not horrible.
