    Happy New Year! You can never go wrong with potatoes o'Bryan. Another favorite of ours is making rice with pineapple chunks or crushed with the juice (allow water and juice level equally) and diced green red yellow or orange peppers to serve as a side dish. Another great vlog Katie.

    These skillets/stir fry style meals is how we eat A LOT. I love grabbing leftovers from the fridge, throwing it all in a pan like this and eating it up.
    We are very strict on trying our hardest not to waste food. ❤ We will can 1/2 gallon jars of soup, enough for a year's worth and I will add noodles or rice, half jar more water, warm it up and that'll be a meal for 2 day's for us. I grew up kinda poor, so pinching pennies and making many meals with little bit is how we roll.
    Hardly ever buy snacks, I try to make everything from scratch. This year we were blessed enough to get enough venison for hamburger, sausage, jerky, and a few different kinds of sandwich meat. ❤

    I was one of 12 kids. We never went hungry. My mom was a plain, simple cook. Small portions of meat, garden goodies etc. We never snacked between meals or in the evening. People today spend tremendous armounts of money on snacks and stuff that offers no nutrition. Buying single serving snacks and lunch items is also a big expense. If times get tough, people will learn really fast.

    There were five kids in my family and no extra money, but my mom was a great cook. We weren’t then aware of how blessed we were that she was so resourceful… we ate well, if plainly. Many recipes were along the lines of “Poor Man’s Lasagna” or “Poor Man’s xxxx.” Mom stocked up whenever she could.

    We are financially better suited now, but the mindset remains. It’s a blessing.

    It’s so much easier to smile and be nice rather than scowling and be angry. It helps you and the people around you. Happy New Years, Rowes family. May you continue to be blessed and be a blessing to others. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

    You are so right the ham is a great protein in cost and flavor!!! So is the chuck roast you can get them with a sticker to we have found on Monday morning they tend to have the stickers on the meat for mark downs. I now only buy chicken thighs now over breasts I like them better. You can also ask the store when they discount there meats. What is the poultry seasoning brand please I have used Bells and I like it. Also your meals taste good!!! They look good to!!! the other thing you do is brown your meat which makes such a big difference. Also you are flexible you have a basic recipe or things but you adapt. Also some canned tuna and chichen that is shelf stable.
