I agree with you 100%. She puts so much care, effort, planning and thought into doing these great videos for us. Given what she had to work with, I doubt very many people would come up with as innovative and tasty options. The only thing (and this is a personal thing with me) is when a taste test is being done, having the mic so close to her, makes every bite, chewing noise and swallowing sound excessive. She eats normally, the mic just makes it sound as if she's chomping, smacking and gulping the food. Again, maybe no one else even notices or cares. Otherwise, what a shining star and great help!

Suggestion for bruschetta would be reducing the balsamic in a small sauce pan over low heat. It will get more syrupy and sweeter so you have more flavor. Also, bruschetta doesn't just have to be tomato. If all you have access to is canned tomatoes you can do like olives, roasted bell pepper, canned artichokes ECT. It's basically just toast with things on top. You can also do like sardines or anchovies with tomato. The possibilities are endless 😂😂😂

Hardly any meat, no sausage, only puny hot dogs, if that. 🧐 We used to have so much, it was actually very productive and economical, and even gratifying👍 to shop at my $🌳s around my neck of the woods here in north cackalack. Now the only thing they have is decoraty shtuff in the $5 aisle. 🙄😒 Also, now they put stupid metal poles to the buggies so you can't roll your purchases out to your car, a real pain for me since I'm disabled and cannot walk, let alone walk with multiple heavy bags dragging me down. 😣😖😩

If you had the frozen peppers and onions you could have separated them and used the onions in the green beans and the peppers in the potato casserole. The peppers could have changed the flavor of the country gravy more and you would have had the onion flavor you love in country style green beans. But everything you made on a $20 budget at Dollar Tree looked amazing, as usual.

I was thinking instead of make the GRAVY pre cooked and then adding to potatoes, whisk ingredients then pour over potatoes and let oven cook the “gravy” into the potato scallop, bet that changes up the “Country Gravy” taste..that is what I’m going to try.

I know it's another item, but I've used the grated parmesan in the plastic container on the shelves for gratins and cheesy topping. It gives that salty dairy taste. :)

Great idea! Didn’t think about parm

You might even be able to add parm to cream cheese. My DT usually has pouches of Velveeta and also cans or jars of cheese dip now. I wonder what Velveeta tastes like blended with cream cheese. OK I might be out of control! Lol

As someone who saves the parmesan and pepper packets from delivery pizzas, that’s where my mind went too.

I am a big fan of your channel. I love that when you say you're making all your meals from your shopping trip, that's what you do. I've seen other channels saying they're only spending $20 or $25 but then they have a huge pantry they're also drawing out of. How you put your content together is so helpful for me a senior, living alone and on SS. And great job in creating a wonderful holiday meal.

In the future, if you really wanted to make those brownies, you can substitute 1/4 cup of applesauce or mashed banana or yogurt for the egg. That said, I love this menu as is and I really enjoy your channel!

The salted caramel can be broken with a rolling pin into small pieces and put into the cookie dough 😊

Hooray the return of the ham rose!!!🌹

Hi Miss Rebecca. I made breakfast for dinner the other day but only had sliced deli ham for meat. I made the ham roses that I saw on your Thanksgiving video. I sprinkled brown sugar on the individual slices and let it soak in for a little while and it turned out really good and was so cute.

Another idea is one I have personally used is canned potatoes they are already cooked and I rinse them off and fix them for mashed potatoes or potato salad,or scalloped, roasted or any potato recipe you want for a side.

This makes so much sense 🫣 My entire life I’ve been like what do people do with canned potatoes?! You just turned a light on for me 😂 thank you.

You could make a cherry dump cake in a slow cooker. I box of a cake mix, 2 cans of pie filling, just put the pie filling in first, cake mix on top slice the butter and dot it on top of the dry cake mix cover and cook on high about 20 to 30 mins. There many you tube vids on making it.

Easy dessert: dump cake! Pie filling, dry cake mix, and sliced butter. So simple, but so yummy! 😊

Wow you are such a smart shopper, you used the thing that you liked." Keep up the good work." Because of the high inflation someone likes myself can learn from you 😊❤." Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤❤

@idreamofjeanie61 2 ай бұрын

Just another suggestion for dessert. A dump cake only takes fruit or pie filling , cake mix and margarine. You're doing a great job.

I'm blessed to be invited to a friend's family for Easter, but I love your videos because sometimes there just aren't leftovers and I can easily fix this for myself.

Btw the Martha White muffin mixes only need milk. No oil or eggs necessary. Love your videos

The thing that's crazy is that for 20 bucks I can make a huge tray of baked ziti complete with ground beef and cheese that feeds 6-8 people at the grocery store. I kinda learned that Dollar Tree meal shopping somewhat equals out to what you can buy at the grocery store. Especially if you take advantage of whatever is on sale. Regardless, I love this channel and find your options innovative.

I really like watching the shop with you Part because that really shows a real cook trying to organize their menu Based on what's available.

@tiffanykoma4120 2 ай бұрын

I think these are great ideas with a few tweaks. Perfect for people on tight budgets that still want a nice meal for the holiday and everyone deserves that. In terms of the cookie add some ice cream baby!
