Your channel is growing wow! Please don’t let these business sharks come in and convince you to add anything to your style! I love you because you don’t push merch or waste time. I do wish Walmart had an affiliate program like Amazon, that you could get earnings off the grocery shopping lists. You crush at managing and editing (I assume) your own channel. Don’t let anyone change your style sis! Hugs from North Carolina ❤

I love your recipes! I had been struggling with a severe depression and once I was coming out of the other side, I needed simple easy basic things to make. Not something involving 3 pans and a bunch of dishes. I tried a home meal delivery but it was still so many dishes! Your videos gave me the first recipes I needed to feel confident in the kitchen again! I used to do the full meals but after 2020 I didn't know how to cook foods I liked in an easier way. I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us! I am so grateful ❤

Unless shredded cheese is on sale, the price is usually higher per oz than on the block. I buy the blocks because they are cheaper, plus it keeps longer in the fridge. Grating cheese is not that hard, I normally ask my kids to help with it. 😊 Thanks again, Julia, for another great set of recipes ❤

Definitely tastes better and melts better. I invested in one of those cream cheese shredders and it’s been worth every penny. Makes shredding so much quicker and easier.

@@sandrahudziec723 This recipe is from America's Test Kitchen but I tweeked it and added onion or used dried basil... 1 small onion finely chopped, 1/8 tsp baking soda, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2-3 gloves garlic minced, 3/4 tsp kosher salt, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes, 1/4 tsp sugar, 2 Tbsp fresh basil coarsely chopped or 1 Tbsp dried basil.... 1. add 1 tbsp oil to sauce pan. add onion and baking soda, cook until onion is soft. it will turn yellow which is a chemical reaction from the baking soda. this softens and browns the onions quicker than waiting 5 min or so, it is a great trick I learned from ATK, makes the onions melt into the sauce and add more flavor 2. off heat add garlic, salt, oregano and pepper flakes, return to heat cook til fragrant (30 sec) 3. stir in tomatoes and sugar. increase to high and bring to simmer. 4. reduce heat to med low, cover and simmer until thickened (20 min) 5. off heat stir in basil and remaining oil, season with salt and pepper to taste. I do tend to cook mine for 30 min, I like a thicker sauce as we also use it on pizza and lasagna. It will stay in the fridge for about a week or so in a plastic container in the back of the ridge. Longer in a glass jar. Let me know if you try it and your thoughts. ☺

Your recipes are deeelish !! I love the squash over spaghetti, or any pasta. I use zucchini, squash, and onions, and if I can’t find fresh, I’ll use the frozen blend. I have some leftover hotdogs, and all the other ingredients. I’ll be making that tonight !!❤

I've bought the broccoli cuts but they're mostly just stems and are hard so I went back to the more expensive. My local grocery store has chopped broccoli that isn't too expensive and that is my favourite! Great video, quite a few ideas are going through my head thanks to this video!

Thank you Julia! you are doing a great service to all us out here struggling with the grocery budget and ideas. I like that you explain things like with the shred cheese vs block and so on. i too think it is better, i think the shredded with that cellulose additive is yick so i avoid it. And it's cheaper! yay!
