My budget tip - I keep a big bottle of lemon juice concentrate in my fridge for when a recipe calls for fresh squeezed lemons. It’s not quite as good no but it does the trick and a big bottle lasts forever. I reserve buying fresh lemons for something special like to go with fried fish. Plus lemon juice concentrate is a great thing to have on hand for adjusting the seasoning of a dish. Sometimes when a dish is missing something, I’ll add a splash of it and voila! Instantly better!

I always appreciate the desserts thrown in! i have teenagers who love dessert and is honestly does stretch the meals, control snacks late at night bc they’ll Klee more full and have already had a “treat” and makes them happy. I buy the 1$ cake/brownie mix and frosting all the time and it’ll last 3-4 days and everyone who wants can have a slice after dinner and there are so many varieties/variations. I can handle 5$ extra a week to have some dessert on hand most nights

I agree! So much we can do with a cake mix or box brownie, right? Lots of possibilities.

Another very simple inexpensive salad that everyone goes nuts for is a cucumber onion salad. 2 cucumbers ,half of an onion, cider vinegar ,sugar salt pepper and maybe a little bit of celery seed if you have it. Every time I bring this to a party it’s demolished. Cut the cucumbers thin.

Hey mindy..instead of using the sour cream in your corn bread.. try using an extra egg.. it makes the corn bread more moist...please try it... I always make my corn bread with the extra egg...it turns out like a cake texture..and it isn't dry and crumbly like it mostly does ...even in a scratch corn bread recipe...use 2 eggs and the 1/3 cup of milk...it does improve the corn breads texture

I do a very similar things but instead of rice I put potatoes cut into bite sized pieces. I mostly season with thyme (i personally like it a lot) and then before covering it for the potatoes to cook I also add heavy cream. It gives the potatoes a fuller, creamy flavor. :D And many thanks for the cake recipe, I am so bad with cakes and looking for something easy to start with, so I appreciate your recipe a lot!
