I really appreciate that you “get right to it” in your videos. I often shut down a video cause the person drags out the beginning so long. I like that you don’t waste our time. Good job on the sheet pan dinners. I’m going to use some ideas.
Christine! Hi, it's me your crazy bf Kelly from up state N. Y.😉I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR all of your videos you really have some clever ideasthat I have actually put to use myself!so thank you for thatIwonder though,... do you like doing cooking videos or crafting better? I will watch bothbc I enjoy both!happy cooking& crafting girl, just keep on keepin on w/ your bad frugal mom self😂
I cook for a professional couple and they are vegetarians….I often buy frozen vegetables on sale and then roast them when I need them…..to extend the meal add lentils, or rice, or make a sauce you like and put over mashed potatoes… She adds a lot of seasonings to her meals to make it more flavored and has a lot of different ideas.. I bought a great flowered tortilla chips at the dollar store and they were very good. She uses fresh cheese which isn’t cheap but you can buy cheese soup on sale and use that….I buy canned small chunked tomatoes and drain them and they go further then one tomato from the store. Just a suggestion
I make home made sloppy Joe's for my hubby all the time. He hates the canned kind now. It's super easy and tastes delicious. For 1 pound of meat it's 3/4 cup of ketchup, 1 tbsp of yellow mustard, 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. I usually add extra ketchup for extra sauce. You can also add cooked green peppers and onions to add more flavor I do that if I have them. It's to die for. Try it Christine it will change your life you'll kick manwich to the curb! Everything looks amazing on the video!
EXCELLENT VIDEO YOU are so Precious... Do not change anything... It is a JOY to watch your commentary... So funny.... You make watching this video fun... and Educational... Thank YOU for sharing this GREAT video... GOD BLESS YOU
Love your enthusiasm and ya hoo! You are a real person ; I'd say the truest personality on RUclips. You don't cook the same thing over and over and you vary it up with Instant Pot, slow cooker, sheet pan dinners ( we loved those!) You are confident to use all different methods of cooking and have the energy of a 15 year old! Love your videos and keep doing what you're doing because I know many of us love watching you be human, not some taking robot just harking a product that pays you. I especially like when you're going to make a dish and are out of a few ingredients but you still make it work. You are REAL! And human and can laugh at your mistakes. Thanks you for making my days happier.
I'm fairly certain we'll be trying all of these recipes. I recently switched to working nights so have to rely on others to cook OR do a lot of freezer/crockpot/sheet dinners that are nice and easy. I'll be using a lot of your recipes to meal plan on weekends so my dinners are easy peasy for the week!
I regret not showing the love for the chicken gloves in past videos. I always appreciate that you are not a double touch everything with guts on your hands kind of gal. One of the few YTers I can actually watch cook! You do you. Don't give into the pressures ;)
Perfect. I've got a family of eight, and we will be trying all of these within the next couple weeks. I'll modify your recipes as you modified these. Lol! You cook like I do.
A tip that I need to do for my family (my husband is averse to strong herb flavors standing out) I mix all the herbs and seasonings first and then sprinkle them all over together.
I usually do my fajitas on the stove I'll have to try the fajita seasoning and oven sheet pan next time with squeeze of lemon. The nachos looked delicious.
Hi Christine! I love these ideas. I’m by myself since my husband passed away so these meals would be so much fun as party food. I especially like the chicken and pineapple and the cauliflower nachos for my vegetarian friends.
@@inahandbasket288 I have been a widow for 5 years also and usually take at least half of what I made and freeze it for another time. It is a great way for days when you just don't want to cook anything.
I’m wondering if for the cauliflower nachos you put the cauliflower, oil and spices in a zip lock bag and shake they would have a better even coverage? Then place on cookie sheet and add remaining ingredients? Looks delicious! When I roast any veggies I always put in a zip bag, add oil, spices prior to putting on a cookie sheet. Just a suggestion?
These all look so delicious and easy, I have a picky eater so I know at least one of us with like them. Thank you for sharing and always making your videos to the point.
I'm going to try to prep the set and sour chicken recipe as a freezer meal. Pre package the sauce and cook it while the rest is in the oven. Sounds good to me
I love that you also use gloves to mix stuff by hand. Some stuff is just easier to mix that way and easy to just peel off and in the trash. I keep a box in the kitchen. We use them for anything messy around here. Crafts and such.
Those cauliflower nachos looked really good! That's a good way to incorporate veggies. I may try this and see what my kids think. I'm always looking for healthier options.
Funny, I never even tried canned pineapple but when I was 19, just like you, I was in Haiti on a missions trip and I tried FRESH pineapple for the first time! Like you, MIND BLOWN! SO good!!! Thanks for the inspo!
I just really enjoy watching your channel. I'm going to try the Sloppy Joe Pizza. Really different and fun. Thank you for sharing inexpensive meals with us. It helps me so much. ❤️
The Manwich also makes a recipe called "Bold". for those that don't care for it being as sweet as the original. It is the only one I buy now. I can usually find it Kroger or Walmart. I think the pizza sheet pan would be the one I would choose. Sometime you might like to try making the meat with taco seasoning adding onions cooked with the meat and top with your favorite cheeses for this Mexican style pizza. I usually use sharp cheddar. Then top with fresh tomatoes and green onions when you serve it.
And I was just about to say ewwwwwwwwwww cauliflower nachos! That’s why this channel is so great, there is something for everybody.. There are a lot of vegetables I did not like as a child that are “not so bad” now that I am an adult. Cauliflower though? I legitimately don’t like I have tried lots of different ways. it’s just something that I will take a hard pass on. That’s OK me not buying it means it will always be at the store for you and other cauliflower lovers. What we do agree on is Christine needs a cookbook!!!!! Now. 🙂🙂🙂
If raw onion is too much for you, let them rest in some cool water for a few minutes before you toss them in and it will soften that bite a little. Thanks for the inspiration!
LOV-VING these videos!!! I'm plant based but can swap out easily!!!! Thank you!!! Just found you! So glad I did!!! Just curious, haven't seen you use mushrooms, does your family not like them? I LOVE them and use them as meat alot!!! For those really on slim budgets, green canned jackfruit can easily be used if you haven't ever shown that. Sorry to duplicate if you have.
Omg puppy alert! Lol he’s so cute. I always love watching how you slice bell peppers. It’s magical lol. And did you realize you’re giving us tips without telling us?? The 2 soft tacos on the plate like little bookends is ingenious 🤯👏🏻😎
That sweet and sour chicken looks Amazing!! Can't wait to try that one. Who thought of sloppy joe pizza? That looks interesting too. Thanks for the dinner ideas!!
Definitely going to try the sloppy joe pizza! My son tends to eat them “open faced” anyhow🤷♀️ I really want to try the nachos and fajitas, but have such picky🤦♀️ eaters in my house. I’ll have to see what I can do. Thank you so much for these, always love new ideas, sometimes feel in a rut
I make a similar Sweet and Sour, but in the crock pot. Just put 2 cans of chopped pineapple, with juice and chicken or beef broth over chicken, peppers, onion, and garlic..
Recipes look good. I will have to try the pizza. Love your shirt. Make spaghetti noodles, drain add some butter and shaker spaghetti cheese. My mom use to make this when I was growing up and I make it now for my son.
you need to be on the look out for Manwich Bold. I bake off tater tots then top with the manwich bold (and ground beef) then top with cheese and bake until melted. then top off with taco topping's YUMMY
Sloppy Joe pizza is good but we have been liking it served on the Texas Toast Garlic cheese bread like an open face sandwich. 😋 Loved all these sheet pan meals!
I really appreciated that you had the 2 pizza crusts side by side. I’ve bought great value in the past, I’m going to buy Pillsbury now. We make pizzas with leftover BBQ pork with cheese, red and green onions and it’s amazing. The sloppy joe pizza looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Definitely the sloppy Joe's pizza I'll be trying. I have to tell you I have been binge watching your videos. Primarily the slow cooker ones for meal ideas. I believe I have 7 on my meal plan this month. I did make the Tuscan White Bean and Garlic soup. It was so good. I also made it with your crusty bread which was so good. Thank you for putting out absolutely different recipes that are easy and do not require crazy ingredients. I'm making homemade fries in my air fryer tonight. I used to make my own fries all the time and don't know why I stopped. Thanks for reminding me. LOL
Wrote down a few of these (minus fajitas because I already have it). I am going to change cauliflower to broccoli and skip the beans or add chicken. We don't like beans or cauliflower. It will still be good I'm sure. Broccoli and cheese is amazing. Lol

I would love to see a video of cheap dinners incorporating a lot of veggies. I have a hard time not getting bored of the same veggies😋
That is such a great idea!!!
I cook for a professional couple and they are vegetarians….I often buy frozen vegetables on sale and then roast them when I need them…..to extend the meal add lentils, or rice, or make a sauce you like and put over mashed potatoes…

Great suggestions
For the sloppy Joes, I add a good bit of frozen mixed veggies to the beef! You don’t even taste them but adds some veggies
I make home made sloppy Joe's for my hubby all the time. He hates the canned kind now. It's super easy and tastes delicious. For 1 pound of meat it's 3/4 cup of ketchup, 1 tbsp of yellow mustard, 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. I usually add extra ketchup for extra sauce.

Thanks! I did not want to brave the store for that one it. I have all the ingredients to make it
I agree, making the sloppy Joe sauce is easy and so good and your recipe looks great.
Thank you for this!
Thanks for this! My husband had a heart attack. He has to cut sodium way down. This will be one of my freezer meals!
I also like to add Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke!
EXCELLENT VIDEO

Made the Sheet Pan Sweet and Sour Chicken and it was a hit with one of the pickiest people I know. Thanks for sharing!
Just a heads up, the gassy reaction people have from beans, it's mainly from not rinsing them! So that's why most people wash em just so you know!
Thanks😃
Christian Campbell I didn't know people did not rinse their beans! Yuck!!
I was wondering why I never got gassy from beans

And when I thought that you cannot impress me anymore! You just did it again... I would like a neighbor like you. Hugs from Utah
Hi Christine! I love these ideas. I’m by myself since my husband passed away so these meals would be so much fun as party food. I especially like the chicken and pineapple and the cauliflower nachos for my vegetarian friends.
I am in agreement! When you are just cooking for one it can be a challenge to come up with new ideas.
Cooking for one after my husband passed has definitely been a challenge!
I’m a widow too (3 years) and I need recipes like these in smaller quantities. I hate eating leftovers for days!
I think it would be easy to half or quarter these recipes for one or two people. I like the cookie sheet idea.
@@inahandbasket288 I have been a widow for 5 years also and usually take at least half of what I made and freeze it for another time. It is a great way for days when you just don't want to cook anything.
I'm going to try the Sloppy Joe Pizza with my family. When my kids were young, I made Sloppy Joe Pockets using biscuits, my kids loved them.
I love both fresh and canned. To me they’re entirely different foods but delicious in their own way.
Super tempted to make the nachos but with broccoli instead of cauliflower.
The vibrant green against the rest of the colours would be so gorgeous !
Nachos and pizza in the same video?! Yes, please!! Can’t wait to try them!
YUM! My daughter has a recipe almost the same a chicken breast, slice of pineapple, and green bell pepper baked in foil packet!
Split pea soup in crock pot it literally cost me $3 to do and were doing homemade cornbread with it.
I’m wondering if for the cauliflower nachos you put the cauliflower, oil and spices in a zip lock bag and shake they would have a better even coverage? Then place on cookie sheet and add remaining ingredients? Looks delicious! When I roast any veggies I always put in a zip bag, add oil, spices prior to putting on a cookie sheet. Just a suggestion?
I toss mine in a bowl.
Hi Christine, just an FYI - If you soak your cut onions in cold water, they are not so pungent to the pallet.
NEVER too heavy on the cheese. Lol. Great video. Happy Weekend!
These all look so delicious and easy, I have a picky eater so I know at least one of us with like them. Thank you for sharing and always making your videos to the point.
I agree about Juanitas! They are our favorite! I buy like 6 bags at a time to last us awhile
I love watching your videos. Thank you!
I can my Own Pineapple when it goes on sale , it’s very easy and so good . I put up over 700 jars every canning season .
Oh my! You’re the person from the math problems in elementary school lol but seriously how many pineapples make 700 jars?!
@@alexmack8834 ha ha not all l
Pineapples. I need to reword my comment.
I'm going to try to prep the set and sour chicken recipe as a freezer meal. Pre package the sauce and cook it while the rest is in the oven. Sounds good to me

I use marinara sauce instead of sloppy joe sauce and add onions and peppers to the ground beef while browning it. Its awesome!
The Manwich brings back memories of my childhood. My mom used to use it to make Sloppy Joes way back then.
Thank You Thank You!!! I plan to use them ALL!!!😊
All in one sheet pan dinners are right up my alley!
I just really enjoy watching your channel. I'm going to try the Sloppy Joe Pizza. Really different and fun. Thank you for sharing inexpensive meals with us. It helps me so much. ❤️

We store shaker cheese is the cupboard. No clumping.
Love them, need to try all your receipts. I like to through things together.
Excellent sheet pan meals. The cauliflower nachos looks real good even if there was no chips.
Loved this video. You're so funny and great ideas. I'm going to make the fajitas. 🤣
I think I’ll try the cauliflower nachos with some soy chorizo added! Trying to get those veggies in!
Love the shout-out for Juanita's chips!! Seriously the best. Made in Oregon
Yes juanitas are THE BEST
I'm definetly trying the sheet pan chicken recipes! Thank you.
love the little Peeping Man that shows up every once in a while!
When you talked about growing the tomatoes my mind went to the grumpy lady in Steel Magnolias
9:43 Hey Speedy! I love it when he pops up in videos.
When I was in school the Sloppy Joe Pizza was my favorite! Thank you ! Brought back some great memories.
I’m def gonna try the cauliflower nachos! May add broccoli too! Such a good way to sneak in veggies
I need those cauliflower nachos in my life. When are you coming out with your cookbook?

For real, I would LOVE an FFM cookbook, I make so many of her recipes
Those baby street taco tortillas are fun for making mini thin crust pizzas too 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
The Budget Bytes sweet & sour chicken is one of my favorites! I also do her chicken fajitas.
If raw onion is too much for you, let them rest in some cool water for a few minutes before you toss them in and it will soften that bite a little. Thanks for the inspiration!
I just tried that first stir fry on the video and it was AMAZING!!!
Put your olive oil in one of those squeezey condiment bottles - it's a game changer for drizzling
Speedy at 9:45. My heart

Christine! I tried the sweet and sour chicken tonight. Soooo incredible. Can’t wait to try the Thai chicken! Thanks for being so funny and sweet.
Tried the nachos tonight, huge hit! Used red beans because that is what I had. Yum!
Thank you for the ideas. We just did fajita topped t tots. So yummy!

Oh wow
My adult son loves anything Sloppy Joe. So We will try that this weekend or next. Thanks for the fun and easy idea!
All of the sheet pan dinners look great. The sloppy joe would definately be a hit with the grandkids. Love sheet pan dinners! Thanks for sharing.
I make a similar Sweet and Sour, but in the crock pot. Just put 2 cans of chopped pineapple, with juice and chicken or beef broth over chicken, peppers, onion, and garlic..
If you shake your Grated Parmesan cheese container hard with the lid closed, it usually breaks up any clumps. 🙂
I love nachos but i also add sour cream and bell peppers 😋
I agree canned pineapple is very metalic tasting but a real pineapple is amazing!!
Recipes look good. I will have to try the pizza. Love your shirt.
Make spaghetti noodles, drain add some butter and shaker spaghetti cheese. My mom use to make this when I was growing up and I make it now for my son.
Great recipes Christine Thanks! Going to try the Sloppy Joe Pizzas‼️
you need to be on the look out for Manwich Bold. I bake off tater tots then top with the manwich bold (and ground beef) then top with cheese and bake until melted. then top off with taco topping's YUMMY
Love your videos! Getting ideas to cook and for some to freeze, that manwich pizza would be good for freezer meals.
I am going to try the Sloppy Joe pizza. I only have canned biscuits but I think it will work!
Delicious! Love the pizza dough comparisons too!!
Sloppy Joe pizza is good but we have been liking it served on the Texas Toast Garlic cheese bread like an open face sandwich. 😋 Loved all these sheet pan meals!
I finally found a shirt like yours. I love it. The sweet and sour chicken looked delicious.
Sloppy joes and nachos for sure! These all looked good. Thank you.
Great recipes today! All look so good! TFS
Thank you!
I don't care for regular sloppy joes, but I love making sloppy joe pockets. SO GOOD.
I just tried those tortilla chips for the first time and you are right, they are so good!
The nachos and s/s chicken are getting served here soon. You guys have GREAT taste in dinners.
I really appreciated that you had the 2 pizza crusts side by side. I’ve bought great value in the past, I’m going to buy Pillsbury now. We make pizzas with leftover BBQ pork with cheese, red and green onions and it’s amazing. The sloppy joe pizza looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos! Can you add your wedding bands to your amazon list? Or let me know where it’s from?
For your raw Onion if you soak the cut up pieces in cold water for 20 min give or take it will remove the “Bite” raw onion can have .
All of these recipes look amazing
I definitely want to try the 1st sheet pan dinner you made. Looks yummy!!!
Everything looks delicious! I'm a huge fan of Beth and Budget Bytes, every recipe I try has been a winner.
Thank you for including a dairy free option. I am allergic to dairy and always looking out for tasty options.
So excited to try all of these! My teenager is vegetarian so really excited to try the nachos!
Sloppy joe pizza... something I never know I needed but can't wait to try!!!
I am going to try the Sloppy Joe pizza. My daughter is a very picky eater. I am excited about giving this a try! Thank you for sharing.
We love it with our own pizza dough & our sloppy joe recipe. Either way its a hit. You can also do lasagna--it's all good.
Definitely the sloppy Joe's pizza I'll be trying.
I have to tell you I have been binge watching your videos. Primarily the slow cooker ones for meal ideas. I believe I have 7 on my meal plan this month.
