    FYI: The Dumpling "hack" is a standard cooking method for Japanese Gyoza (dumplings) and has been a standard method since it was introduced in the early 1800's from China.

    I used to put any kind of meat in the slow cooker, pour half a jar of green chile salsa on top, and let it cook on low all day. Pork shrinks the lesst.

    I also did a lot of microwave quesadillas. 😊

    In my 20s ground beef was the cheapest protein you could buy per gram of protein. I would buy ground beef on sale and bring it home and cook it plain and separate into 1lbs packages. From there you can make spaghetti or Johnny marzetti or sloppy Joe's or chili etc…….. dry pasta and dried beans and dried rice and spices can make your choices various and yummy.

    Hello, I took flour tortillas, placed spaghetti sauce on it (sometimes 2 if it was pay day) then sliced mushrooms on the sauce and cook it up in the oven. Occasionally I could add mozzarella cheese on top.

    My stretching a meal years ago was pork roast in a crock pot. I used only the basic spices ( salt, pepper, garlic and 2 onions sliced) After it was ready made tacos, a chili with pinto and black beans added chipotle and jalapeno, did enchiladas and also a pork stew with garbanzo beans. I was a widow with a toddler. Your recipes remind me that times change and your life gets better

    …I lived alone, as a single woman,in the 80's and early 90s…
    Back in the 80's, Chix was VERY affordable, so I bought a lot of Chix, and i too " rationed " my food… my Grandmother taught me that. I would make fried chix, with part of the package and just Saute the other part ( I would buy the breasts with Rib meat ,it has a bone ) I would freeze part of the Sautéed ones, and those were used during the following week. I made chix salad,.I also made a great salad with diced chix, strawberries, and mandarin oranges. Things wete much cheaper back then, so I was able to ' splurge " on things like my Salad Dressing, the mandarin oranges, and even freah Croissants! I ate quite well, considering I was a single woman, and made a " Meal Plan " every 2 weeks so that I knew what I was making, buying, and using for other meals,as well. I had a list of " Stapkes " that were things i bought Regularly.. Chix; Organic ground Beef ; Potatoes; onion,Carrots, celery, garlic, Rice, Egg Noodles,Albacore Tuna in Water; Bread, Milk . ( I would use some of the Mandarin Oranges, strawberries, and sliced banana, as a side to a Sunday breakfast of Scrambled Eggs and a Croissant. ) I still planned out my Meals, even after I was married and had children. 🙂 …I still do. ,as I am Retired.
    I love your honesty and also how well you explain the Recipes.

    MMM…our mom used same idea but with red chili Las Palmas enchilada sauce and we used cheddar cheese. Also pinto beans raw cooked home made 2 hrs then smash into refried beans with a little cheddar and either fried potatoes or a baked potato from micro wave (poor mans bean and potato burritos) with flour or corn tortillas. Walmart Great Value brand flour tortillas $2 per packet. Cheap ideas folks! God Bless

    What s great video Angelica. So many recipes.. I especially like the enchiladas and the burrito recipe and the Ramen. I'm making the one with the green sauce. Is queso fresco like mozzarella? It looks really good.😊
