    I would 86 the carrots and add some of that left over salsa to the tortellini and maybe use less water to make it thicker.. sloppy joe = cup of ketchup, dollop of yellow mustard, splash of acv, dried onions and garlic.. you can add brown sugar if you want it sweeter or switch the ketchup for favorite bottled bbq sauce… costs half of manwich…no cheap corn? leave it out and use corn tortillas .. mayo on the grilled cheese instead of butter or save your bacon drippings for no cost and blast of flavor.. I add peppers and onions to the sweet potato bake and serve it in tortillas, its a camp favorite in a foil pouch .. breakfast for dinner is always a good thing, I recently made a pancake in a casserole dish with sausage, the brats didnt want eggs.."Pandemonium Palace, Pops prodigious pancake" talk about ez… the casserole quiche looked really good… my favorite part of a baked potato is the crisp skin, I have microwaved them part way and then put them in the toaster oven.. an air fryer would probably work but I dont have that or an instant pot… the rice and beans is ALMOST enough to make me get an instant pot!! I like a mix of black and cannellini/white beans in a lot of dishes especially with spanish rice and canned chicken or tuna in a burrito.. mini pizzas..86 the special sauce, mix spaghetti sauce and salsa or just add a little sugar and italian seasonings to the spaghetti sauce with a tiny splash of acv… the twice baked potato casserole sounds and looks delicious, maybe the skins dont need to be crunchy for that one…. yes I tend to write a LOT at times… I enjoyed the video and got a couple of good ideas to try at pandemonium palace

    That looks delicious. ย There'sย  something I've been thinking about trying. Shrimp saladย  with homemade mayo-based macaroni Amish salad dressing, with just a little sweetener and some lemon zest.ย  Amish shrimp salad – could it get any better?ย  Two worlds combined – seafood and traditional Amish cooking., and it can be doneย  relatively inexpensively on a budget if you buy the shrimp pre-cooked and frozen.ย  Just add some hot water to the shrimp and you're good to go.ย  Hope you'reย  having a nice 4th of July weekend.ย  Bon apeti!

    Okay before you made the tortellini soup I heard you said Walmart, so I'm assuming you purchase them there, so my next question is. Was it this year 2022 you purchase those ingredients for that great price? I see the thing says you recorded these videos one day ago but I'm not sure that's why I'm asking these questions overall is it this year 2022 those things are in that price

    These are great recipes, but I think to really stay close to the $5.00 (or closer to $10.00 these days), you need to do a bit of planning. Decide which meals use some of the same ingredients, so you can use them more efficiently. For example, if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of heavy cream, find another one that also needs cream so you donโ€™t end up wasting the remainder of the carton. If you have 2 or 3 that call for broccoli, buying the larger bag is usually cheaper. Just a thought.

    Many of these meals were a lifesaver when I was a single mom of 2 little boys, putting myself through nursing schoolโค Omelets, French toast, grilled cheese & sloppy joes. Most often, we'd have Spaghetti with a salad.

    hello, ive been asking folks if you all could pray for gods kingdom the paradise to come. and help me in spreading the goodnews of gods kingdom the paradise. jesus taught us to tell the goodnews without fear of being killed and persecuted. because jehovah god can bring us back to life. the bible says we can save both ourselves and those who listen to us. ephesians chapter 6 says to open our mouth and speak with boldness the goodnews. and theres a happy ending in revelation 21:3,4 look! the tent of god is with mankind he will be with them and they will be his peoples, he will wipe every tear from our eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning or outcry or pain be anymore the former things have passed away. please please pass this goodnews on to your family, coworkers, friends, and neighbors, and repent so god can heal you, and have intense love for one another as god has said. thanks sincerely

    Another great addition for the taco soup is sometimes in the freezer section they carry a fiesta blend of frozen corn , onions, peppers, and black beans.
