      I just discovered your channel today and I love it! Not sure why you don't have more subscribers. Although I'm only feeding myself, I'm finding lots of ideas for changing up my vegan diet. ❤❤❤

    I think this is the most realistic and creative one of these challenges I’ve seen! The cake and brownies look awesome

    I just happened upon this video. As a vegan, I’m shocked that I’ve never come across your channel before.
    I have never seen a budget video that didn’t feel like a budget video (until this one) - you are awesome and those meals are awesome!
    Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing what you do. I appreciate you!

      @@plantwhysI agree! Just found her! And I LOVE that she is very “normal”! There have been so many times that I shy away from being plant based because I don’t want to be associated with people who are “out there”. I’m just a regular country girl and need to be plant based for health. Her channel is SO refreshing! Binge watching!

    Thank you so so much for sharing this! I don't have a lot of money and never realized that the DOLLAR TREE had this many grocery items/options! This video is amazing and I can't believe what you made with such little money! Your variety was great and you even had so much you didn't use, incredible! This is by far the best DT food I've ever seen! I want to run and try that "broth" hack! I love you and your channel! 🤗🥰🌱 SN, your kids are adorable! 🙂

    I just tried the peach cobbler. It's alright. I do like that it is packed with fiber and protein. I'm not vegan yet, but I'm exploring recipes. It is my goal to one day be fully vegan, but I know it's going to take some time.

    Thank you so much for sharing your receipes, tips, and tricks. This is so helpful for someone who is a beginner to plant-based eating, such as myself. Also, (and this is in NO way a slam) I appreciate that your oven and stove top aren't sparkling clean...because mine is definitely not! haha! You can tell you're a great momma and your kids are adorable!! Thanks again!

    I made the soup and it is delicious! The coconut milk removes most of the heat from the pho broth. I’m headed back to the Dollar Tree to get more of the broth and the salt free seasoning.

    This is a wonderful video on how to eat on a budget!!! Love all your videos!! I tried 2 of the breakfast dishes and for us, they were a total flop in how they came out and my 4 kids didn't like them. I made the brownies exactly the way you made them and mine came out super thin. I am assuming you are not using a 9X13 pan to bake them. Either way, my kids said the texture was bad and they taste weird. I used a smaller pan for the cake, but I should have used a 9X13 for that one as it would not cook all the way through. The bottom middle was raw no matter how long I left it in. Anyway, the sides were cooked and my kids all tried it but said it tasted weird. I will keep trying your recipes in hopes that one day I can get one of my kids to eat one :) When you transitioned, were your kids all eating veggies or were they just young enough that they were willing to eat more variety? You are so lucky your kids will eat plant-based foods. My only saving grace in this was I didn't spend tons of money on the wasted food. Thanks for all you do!!

    If you toast a peanut butter and jelly as if it was a grilled cheese, with butter is best but if you don't have any butter it's still good. And the sodium content in most canned foods higher than we should have so rinse the canned beans if you use

  • @meman6964
    @meman6964 7 месяцев назад

    The sodium count!!🥵🙈

  • @robin472
    @robin472 8 месяцев назад +2

    Adding extra onion to any soup is healthy and really onions are cheap. What's the sodium in canned and boxed food..
    A tip that takes any peanut butter jelly sandwich to the next level is toasting it as if you were making a grilled cheese, delish!
