Meals to Eat When You’re Broke || From Someone Who Actually Grew Up Poor

The iron skillet wasn’t hot enough when you poured the egg mixture into it… the orange sugar looks dynamite…!! Better luck next time..! ❤❤
When I would get hungry at my aunts house, my uncle would make me a Vienna sausage sandwich! 2 wieners and a slice of white bread, folded like a taco. Still love them to this day!
Your kids are such fun!
I thought u were going to scramble the egg and make a wrap. But still looked good :). Broke meals are the best
DelTaco (California) has the same thing.
I love your channel! You’re amazing!! 😄
My mom would make milk and rice. Ugh!!!
Thank you.
I just adore you! You are so cute, funny, genuine & wise. A real woman is well rounded, she knows how to be a “lady” when the situation calls for it but also knows how to just enjoy life in each moment. From one well rounded woman to another, You’re Awesome Girl!
I totally understand being poor. It was not usual for us to not have running water or electricity because we could not pay it. I thank God everyday that my parents taught us to appreciate having what little we did. Fast forward my own kids have told us they never felt poor…but we were. We made a conscience decision to educate ourselves and our kids. Often enough I remind our sons to do the same for their kids. Teach them to do without. Learn to appreciate the simple things in life.
awesome ideas!
Hello my friend
the potato in the microwave smells different because the starch hasn't been broken down completely, the micro is actually the best way to keep the starches in tact, they actually help with digestion!
My mom put white bread slices on the broiler tray on the bottom of the oven. Add ketchup, a slice of American cheese. Pizza! It was delicious.
We also were poor when I was young but had food to eat, nutritious meals or maybe I was so young I did know different. I am frugal having watched my mom [ frugal isn't always poor ] and practice what I learned. I saved $17.40 today @ the grocery store and am proud of myself. A manager's special on meat saved $1.00, twenty pouches of cat food on clearance @ $.37 each saved me $7.24, $2.89 in store rewards, and $5.95 left on a gift card the store had given me when I reported a poor customer service experience.
Love your channel but butter costs 7.00 lb where we live. Would margarine work just as well?
What kind of meal would you make if you have left over potatoes salad we just finished burgers tonight
OH MY GOSH! LOL I grew up poor also. Disabled Vet Dad and Mom couldn't work outside the home due to 8 kids. We had a huge garden and Mom hunted to provide meat for us in addition to having chickens and beef cows. We often ate the meals you are showing in your videos. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up with parents that had to stretch their pennies until they snapped. The funny thing is that I didn't even realize how poor we were until I was around 30 years old. LOL My parents were masters at making sure we had what we needed. I still eat many of the meals from back in the day. They're comfort food for me.
I did not grow up rich at all we had our own business so it was tight alot. My mom worked at a factory but it went out of business when I started middle school. My mom was the baby of 10 and my dad grew up during the depression. My mom knew how to stretch a penny into a dollar. We did have cheap good food but never without food always food in the house. In order to have plenty of food we had to be tight with ALL other bills and believe me we were. Taught me to be the mom I am today and passing my thrifty ways to my kids. Love it wouldn't trade my upbringing for anything.
I use my melamine bowls in microwave and just found out they are actually NOT microwave safe. 😕. So
Just be careful if thats what that orangish bowl was. It looked like my pioneer woman bowls is the only reason I wanted to mention.
You scared me when you popped up!! Lol I just found your videos. Thank you so much, I'm really enjoying them and cannot wait to try so many of your recipes ❤ beef and broccoli is on the menu for next paycheck.
If you don’t have butter or oil mayonnaise can be used as the butter on quesadillas . It’s really good .
You can tell you are southern when you have that black checked pattern.
Dutch baby reminds me of a elephant ear at the fair. 😂
My struggle meals include canned tuna with rice and mayo, and french onion soup.
I appreciate your honesty so much! Sending love to you and your family.
Love you and your ideas.
Timesaving hint: shred chicken with an electric mixer, 30 seconds and DONE! It really works. Any mixer works.
Thanks for sharing these! And these would be so quick to make after work too. I will be trying that orange sugar for sure!
