I prepped TWO delicious meals for my family with just $8 worth of ingredients. Cooking on the cheap doesn’t have to be hard, and making inexpensive meals …
Beat the cheese with a mixer
Love these ideas Mindy, that lasagna skillet is right up my alley and I never think to grab cottage cheese but I love it!!❤️
To make some dishesmore "meaty" my grandmother would brown her meat and in the drippings would toast some oats. You really couldn't tell. The only reason I know is I asked how she made her chili so thick and meaty.
These look yummy! I . trying to figure out what to sub for the cottage cheese because though I like it I cannot have dairy anymore.
Food is so cheap in the States, holy. Bags of frozen veggies here in Ontario are at minimum $2. Cottage cheese in that size is $4-$5. Pasta is cheap thankfully, can usually get it for 99 cents. Even a can of cheap no name soup is $1 while the can of tomatoes is $2. Meat here is insane. $7 for that lb of sausage. These are still helpful though! I’m just envious.
I find a lot of your meals consist of pasta. Can you do more videos budget friendly non pasta?
I love mixing green onions and diced celery into my cottage cheese along with salt and pepper. I eat it on a bed of lettuce. One of my favourite quick meals.
Will have to make theses. Thanks
Do you have anything for keto
Could you show us something without onion and no tomatoes. First recipe I'm trying looks delicious
Great recipe ideas. And again, a great presentation. Thank you for sharing.
God bless all here.
I promptly subscribed to your channel when I saw that you saved restaurant packets. True frugality.
I am so jealous of your prices. I’m in South Florida 💰💰💰
I'm so pleased to see no-beans recipes! I enjoy beans but have proved beyond any shadow of doubt that they trigger excruciating migraine and IBS attacks. Either of these on its own is bad enough, having nothing at the same time is pure misery. I try not to get frustrated by the beans-and-rice and rice-and-beans vlogs – after all, this is my problem – but it can be disheartening.
My kid just walked in and said “that looks good”. I guess I’ll have to try making it.
Absolutely awesome and perfect recipe with mouthwatering taste! keep going ❤️stay connected😍😍Thanks for sharing ❤.
These look good! I’m going to try them both! Thanks, Mindy!
I think it’s a great call out on how little meat you can use for a meal. With the price of meat, people either need to cut back or prepare to up their budgets significantly
I never would have thought to blend up the cottage cheese. I will have to give that a try.
That cottage cheese is my absolute favorite.
Where the heck do you find Aldi? Never heard of it.
Both those meals look amazing ! I love your idea of making a sauce out of cottage cheese ! Genius !!!! Thanks Mindy !
That looks so good! I need to try this. Thank you!
I understand you're not low carb but your videos do help me. Thanks Mindy Jennifer 😂
I do home health care so I cook. Try to find budget friendly items for clients.
try freezing your lunches in silicone muffin cups they pop out nice for ind portions and they take up less room in the freezer. I do it all the time for soups 🙂 ps thank you for the vegetarian version, i usually take out the meat for any meals you make they end up the same. T
I'm one of the people who commented before and asked if you could come up with some bean-free meal ideas. And you delivered! I can hardly wait to try both of these recipes. They look amazing. Thank you!!❤️
I actually like this video..simple easy cooking
cool
Aldi's is probably the most economical store around. Unfortunately my closest one is 1.5 hours from here. Great job! I'm sure you help so many people on a budget. And people can substitute items for ones that fit their diet
Thanks to my mom I grew up eating homeade cottage cheese and it is very much a staple in our diets. I could live on beans but my hubby doesn't really like them, I agree why would you cook things and then nobody would eat it. I like that you do give additional ideas and suggestions.
I love these videos, Mindy. I especially like how you cook on a budget, and how your meals are simple and not exorbitant in ingredients and cost. This is how I cook as well.
Do you live on pasta? We like it, but couldn’t do it everyday.
All of these meals looked really good and I would eat them whether or not I was on a budget. Way to go, Mindy!
Mindy these recipes are great! Delicious & pocketbook friendly! Thanks so much!
Look good
