Lots of veggies? I only see a green pepper and potato (that's only technically a veggie as it has about as much nutrition as pasta). Onion is more of a seasoning (although probably more nutritious than the potato). Tomato sauce is not a veggie either, not any more than ketchup or sweet relish are.

Another tip: some grocery stores (like Wegman’s) sell frozen mushrooms for cheap! If you don’t think you’ll use an entire carton of mushrooms fast enough because you’re only cooking for 1, frozen is the way to go. Taste just as good as fresh mushrooms. I add them (and frozen bell peppers) to ramen, chow mein, pizza, pasta, etc

Outstanding again!! I really appreciate how you tell us it’s ok to add/subtract any ingredients to make them what we like. Your videos are always so easy to follow & always look so good, even when they don’t you let us know just how flavorful they are & not to be put off by their look. When I’m stuck on what to prepare for dinner, lunch or breakfast, I look up your videos to get an idea. Thank you so much for making my life a lot easier!!!!!!!

It is so easy and she uses frozen meatballs- which makes it very budget friendly. Thanks for all of the inspiration and helpful videos!

Hi Julia! Thank you for the great recipes! My local market didn’t have any grits or ground sausage, so I substituted the grits for some quinoa I had already and I bought Braunschweiger because I thought it was ground sausage lol! Anyways, it still worked out and tastes great! Since I didn’t have a binding agent like grits, I scrambled my eggs 90% done and used them to hold everything together. I also made the chicken pot pie, but my market didn’t have any biscuits, so I used a can of croissants and unrolled them, then spread it over the filling! I love your channel so(x100) much! Congrats to you and your family on your newest addition! Many well wishes! ❤️❤️❤️
