Brooke im a senior on a fixed income your recipies have helped immensely thank you
You so remind me of myself when my yougn's were young, and they knew were Appalachian hillbillies but they didn't know how poor we was, hubby and I worked 2 jobs each, now I'm an old woman, my body is broken down, and hubby went to heaven, so ...I love your humor, I need that, you are so pretty and real!!!!! You aren't putting a pretend for anyone. You are the real deal girl and I so love your recipes but since it's just me I don't cook anymore😢 but I used to love to cook and I made and decorated birthday and wedding cakes for 40 years. ❤😊
More copy cat videos love em keep em coming. I so miss eating out we just can't afford it.
Same here!!! I'm adjusting to it, and have found that homemade is so much better than take out!
Biggest takeaway " You know exactly what's in it" Absolutely love this series, thank you Brooke & family!! 🤗
I am absolutely addicted to your channel!!!! I ❤️ how you explain your recipes! I enjoy your sweet personality, laughter and your family taste testers! Keep it up!!!
Thank you so much!!! This is the best compliment!
As good as Paula Dean or any of the other cooks (actually better) lol for sure!
Same!!!
Couldn't agree more!! 😊
Right? She makes it easy.
In England we call chicken that goes a long way a rubber chicken! Because you can stretch it forever.
😂😂😂😂
Love it! Will definitely use this in Queensland Aus❤
Wow great job. Please do more copy cat recipes.
Of course yours is better because you put a secret ingredient, love, into the sauces!❤❤
I call it General Toes in my family, because, why not? LOL
General Sews! 🪡
Love this series! For Fathers Day we did a "Red lobster at home", box mix of cheddar biscuits, caesar salad, rice, grilled salmon pieces and shrimp scampi....it wasn't nearly as cheap as our typical dinner but it was about $40 for 5 people instead of over $100! And there were leftovers!
I like to save the ends of the green onions, and plant them in a raised garden bed on patio or in a pot placed near a window indoors. They will grow a whole other batch of green onions, over and over again. I kept 2 store bought bunches going all the through winter (Oregon coast) that even stood right back up after the ice storm we had this past winter. Saves money, and I always have green onions for General Tso's chicken, stir fry's, fried rice, etc.
I have had my green onions growing from the last bunch I bought from the grocery store for 3 months now. They have slowed down, but they are hanging in there!
Did you keep them in water or put them in soil ?
@@dmmrad54 I have done both, but I get better results to just plant them directly into soil in a pot. They grow stronger.
@@l.3384 thank you.
Fantastic idea! And since I’m going to make her recipe, I know what I’ll be doing, 😉. Love me some General Tso’s, 😋.
I love copy cat recipes. Always a huge savings.
Wow what a HUGE savings! Keep these restaurant vs home cooking videos coming. They are the bomb....as you would say! LOL :)
Brooke, I absolutely love all of your vids, particularly the copy-cat ones. In fact, most of your vids are now in my "recipes" folder. My granny was a great cook and your enthusiasm and cooking know how really reminds me of her. Thanks so much for all you do! 👍
I love your Temu nails by the way! Very cute and feminine, bestie! I just love your style and free spirit.
You can also add the cornstarch to your chicken and massage it until well-coated. Then coat in the flour slurry. 😊
I just found you on U Tube and what a find. I love how you love to make your family happy with the meals you prepare for them. Those three boys are gonna have a wake up call when they leave home. Keep spreading the love, I'll be watching.
I love your Channel. It’s great to see women teaching others how to cook. And I like that your family taste tests them too. You do a great job.
That's a sharp knife!! You go girl!
Sharp knives are safe dull not so much
Dusty will love this comment lol his goal in life is to keep my knives sharp lol
@@SouthernFrugalMomma Yes noticed that your knives are always sharp .....I have so many knives trying to find a good one....now all it seems I just need a Dusty!!!! .....LOL ...where can I send U a recipe I would like U to try??????
@@SouthernFrugalMomma hey just wanted to say- if you turn your vegetables over when you cut them up- like your peppers or tomatoes it’s easier on your knife to cut through
@@SouthernFrugalMomma Everytine I see you cut chicken I think, “Her husband keeps those knives sharp!” He needs to show us how to do that!!
THANK♥️YOU FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME VIDEO,THE RECIPES & THE BREAKDOWN OF THE COSTS! IT REALLY IS CRAZY HOW MUCH WE PAY TO GO OUT TO EAT. MOSTLY JUST FOR CONVENIENCE & NOT FEELING LIKE/BEING TO LAZY TO COOK. DEFINITELY NOT HOW WE ATE GROWING UP IN THE 80’S & 90’S. I REMEMBER MY MAMA COOKING SUPPER EVERY NIGHT EXCEPT MAYBE WHEN THEY WOULD ORDER DELIVERY FOR:PIZZA(1-2 TIMES A MONTH) OR WE WOULD HAVE A FEND FOR YOURSELVES NIGHT WHERE WE WOULD EAT: LEFTOVERS,A CAN OF RAVIOLI,CHILI,SOUP OR A SANDWICH. EVEN WITH INFLATION,IT REALLY IS STILL CHEAPER TO EAT AT HOME! THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS VIDEO & ALL YOUR CONTENT!😉👍🏻😘✝️🇺🇸🫶
My favorite part of your videos is when your beautiful family tries what you've made! I love watching you cook and your enthusiasm, it just makes me smile 😁 And I also have to add that I absolutely love, love, LOVE your nails!!! God bless you, and as always, thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤
They gave grown so much since I started watching! ❤️
I love these videos bestie. I have been missing fast food since my move and these are helping me with my cravings. keep it up.
And you can save your bell pepper seed too and plant them I saved mine all winter and I've got bell pepper coming up everywhere
That is insane how much you saved ..and yours looked so scrumptious
Sharing those recipes made my day! love them. Thank you!
Good deal! To be fair, restaurants charge more for their overhead costs: their lease, utilities, labor, workman’s comp and regular maintenance for everything outside of the food cost. So…that’s what we are paying for when we pay nearly $10 a plate for food.
Ten thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the video today. And how to make the chicken that way. Keep doing what you are doing . love to see more of your videos of how to make it work for my family on different things to get done cheaper for me. God bless you and your family.
BROOKE!!!! I can't thank you enough for this recipe!!!! I made it for my family and they can't stop raving about it!!!! I gave you all the credit....your so precious and once again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS❤❤❤❤❤..p.s. they told me they hope I remember how I made it...I was like...I got her saved 😂😂😂😂
Love this❤
Looks delicious! Will try soon - thanks a bunch!❤
Awesome amount of chicken,!!!!!! Looks good.
Hi From Maine. I randomly found you and am now a sub. I love the way you show and explain. Easy to listen to and no extraneous BS. So glad to have found your channel.
I just started to watch you love your energy . Having difficulties buying food on a budget. Thank you for the ideas and good advice.
Absolutely Love Love Love This Video 👍🏼👍🏼♥️
Thank you and ya'll are so fun!
Those look so yummy!
I do a copy cat orange chicken sauce that cheep, easy and so good but I need to try these!
Orange chicken sause
Equal parts of orange marmalade and your favorite bbq sauce
Heat up and add chicken as you did with these
That sounds yummy and easy, thank you!
Great tip Thanks!
For my breading on my general tso's chicken I just coat the chicken in an egg (I usually beat it in the bowl before I put the chicken in the bowl, then stir the cup up chicken in it) and then coat in corn starch (I just pour that in the bowl and stir the chicken around until mostly coated), then let it sit for 10 minutes and fry. I also use the Aldi general tso chicken sauce, we've found we like that one best. My kids also don't eat the sauce on their chicken so I just give them the cooked chicken.
We just started watching you about a week and a half maybe 2 weeks ago and are falling in Love all!
Your homemade food always looks so good Ty’s for a great recipe.
Hey Bestie!! This series is SOOOOO good!! Thank you for sharing so many great recipes. Since the prices of everything have soared I've been trying different recipes at home. Asian food was a must for me and I'm so excited to try these two you've shared! I am also a fan of Frank's Sweet Chili sauce!! It's so good!! Thank you for another amazing installment of "We Have Food At Home!" ☺️🙌🏼 Can't wait to see what's next!
New subscriber watching from Bonnie Scotland 😊
I made the sweet fire chicken tonight, and it was a huge hit! Absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for this video.
I live around North Little Rock,AR area and we are finally getting a Alidi coming in around that area soon ! I’m so excited and can’t wait to shop once it’s in because I watch so many different RUclips channels were the folks on them shop at Alidi and they talk about how much money they save shopping there!
I just love her personality and her word she says be kind to others the same way you want them to be kind to you
The amount of food you made was amazing. Both recipes look great. Definately a money saver!!
So glad that you popped up on my feed. Loving this! New subscriber 👍
Pretty Nails!
I use the boneless thighs for general
Tsos chicken so much juicier
I just found your channel a few days ago and have been watching your videos nonstop!❤
Used your coating on shrimp…YOwza was that a game changer❤️❤️❤️
Girl your on fire!! You nailed it, everything looks amazing! Love watching you cut the cost high price restaurant food!! I have to laugh though I thought I was the only one that checked hot oil with a wooden utensil!! LOL
I found your channel randomly about a week ago maybe a little over a week it was your Amish camping video and i binged from there. Your attitude your recipes and your love for your family is just so addicting to watch and enjoy. Now with that said this recipe should come with a warning 😂 of how long it takes to prep and fry everything from start to finish it was probably 3 hours😂 but oh my gosh!!!! So so good. I'm eating the leftovers now and still can't believe I made this and it's not expensive leftovers. Thank you so much 🎉. Also I went to dollar tree yesterday and they had a progresso southwest style tortilla serves 8 soup mix I haven't tried it yet but I thought I'd suggest it to you
Great ideas!!!! Food is too expensive to eat out
It looks good and exactly like a restaurant plate. I am diffinately trying this.
Yum yum yum. These recipes look delicious! Thanks and have a super day
Oh yum yum
Thank you for the chicken recipes. I’m 76 never knew how to do that but I’ll give it a try. 😊❤
So glad you did the Sweet Fire chicken! Our local Panda Express hasn't had it for months! Now I can make it at home. Thank you!
Also,you don't realize this but restaurants buy in bulk at special prices,not our retail,so they make a pretty great profit, especially how they skimp on ingredients now !
Thanks!
I like the idea of a We've Got Food at Home playlist. 👍🏻
Was a play list ever made for this series "we have food at home" because If so Idk how I have missed it.. looked and didnt see one with that title. cant wait to try this one, thanks!
Brooke Thank you for sharing these fast food recipes with us! I would also like to see you do sweet and sour chicken and teriyaki chicken recipes! What a great Cast Iron Lodge Wok you have to stir fry in ! I have a smaller cast iron wok that I love to use and take perfect use of as I usually am cooking for me and my husband and I use my larger cast iron wok looks like it’s the same size as yours for when family members are eating with us .
It’s so expensive to eat out and I understand that it’s necessary for them to make a profit and should as they have to pay for a building , and equipment, and the electricity, employees, and the food ingredients to make the recipes plus the containers,paper bags etc that the food comes in so all that adds up!
I enjoy cooking so I’ll definitely be trying these recipes! Blessings 💕
Those savings are amazing! I am loving your videos. Thanks for all the effort you put in to this!
You should do a video on food pantry telling people that they can get help with food check out food pantry that near you and in the are where you live and how it works ther older people out there that maybe could use some help to make it after they paid their bills
Wow..looks amazing! Ty
loved this...hope you keep them coming :) plus i might add, we ate one time only at panda express with 2 carry out for $30 and not even enough food to fill us...never went back
Wow!! Brooke great job snd it made so much delicious food !! I love both of these recipes and will definitely make them !! I hope you’ll continue to make copy-cat recipes I think they are a big hit !! Brooke when you cook your rice in insta pot you said 10 minutes is that at high pressure and per 1 cup rice to 1 & 1/4 cup water ratio correct I know you cooked more for the family but that’s the ratio correct ?? Thank you and God bless ! ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
✨🩵✨I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!!!✨🩵✨ I'd seriously pay for these recipes on an app, but I so appreciate you giving them to us for free as the point is to save money!! I think almost all of us desperately need to save money right now & your channel is a blessing. Thank you so much & congratulations again on your 100k RUclips play button! God bless you and your beautiful family! 🩵🙏🏻😺
Love your channel & your sweet spirit!!! Thank you for being so helpful!
It's made from potatoes and it's in powder form. Looks like corn starch. Walmart and Amazon sell it
Great video!!!
👋
Wow, the savings are insane 😂.... Show us more....❤ ❤
New sub here. Love your channel. You're a hoot to watch and give me great ideas ! God Bless !
OMG ‼️. Just made the sweet hot one….I would give this EASY, DELICIOUS recipe a 20 out of 10‼️‼️‼️. Thank you mama ❤️❤️❤️
Ooooo YUM! I'm so making these dishes! Thanks for your easy directions as well!
I like the Pepper Steak with Fried Rice at Panda Express.
🌸 I'm going to make this with deer meat chunks.
Wow!!!Brooke wow!!! Outrageous savings! So proud of you and what you are doing for us all!!!
I love your channel!
If you put equal amounts of corn starch and flour (and your seasonings you like) mix it good then dip your chicken in it. Let it sit just long enough for the flour mixture to soak in a bit then dip it again and fry your chicken it will be crispy. Of course the more your turn it, or any fried foods, the more of the coating will come off. This works great for fish too.
You could make an orange sauce too w orange marmalade look it up it’s easy I don’t remember but it tastes good that chicken is perfect
looks good
I make pepper steak all the time. I use to make pork yat gaw mein using pork chops with noodles and a soy sauce based gravy. I have also made shrimp or beef egg foo yung. All are delicious dishes. They don't make the yat gaw mein with gravy anymore, it is more like a soup when you order it nowadays. Thanks for the recipes ❤😊.
You have really opened my eyes to food and savings. Love your videos Brooke and it's great to see your family enjoying your copycat recipes too, if you can do it, I'm gonna give it a try too
Just made this. Awesome!
Absolutely brilliant!!!!❤thank you👍
Love your videos
Oh! I am excited to try them both! That chicken went a long way. Just for the record, it's pronounced sow, rhymes with cow. Love the nails. I honestly wouldn't have noticed them they look natural, but I saw the other video.
Love these Brooke upu are a Rock Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Loving this series! I made the chick fil a sandwich and it was amazing. My daughter doesn't like that I found your channel 😂.
Yesterday she said I want taco bell. Me? We have food at home!!!! 😊
Brooke, I love all your caste iron pans…. Help a sister out, where do you find them?
Recently I've been wanting to find out if there was an "Orange Chicken sauce" to buy so I could make orange chicken at home!! So I hope you can do an orange chicken!
Would you please try to do a copycat to the teriyaki chicken and beef that comes with broccoli and sweet carrots from our local place that is in the old Hardee building. That I would really appreciate if you could do it a copycat event because I have tried to copycat it myself and have not been able to.
Love your videos 💕
Could you please do some breakfast recipes
Yummy
Thank you hun. This Mamaw is stretching my budget but look forward to fixing this for my grandsons. They love this food. God bless your family from us in Ky❤
Thank you for sharing. 😊I'm 15:37 trying this this weekend. Looks delish.
Id love to see you do your favorite mexican food meals
Wow! Insane! And home cooked is so much better too!
I love my General Tsos spicy 🥵
