Love these videos!! Great suggestions. Ty!!
I found some chicken ramen noodles for only 0.39β¬ (0.40$) i'm so happy now normal price for them in germany are now 0.69β¬
Surprise surprise! You did it again. Very fantastic! All of these budget meals as you call them are my daily plant-based meals. Smoked paprika is definitely a go to spice if you're missing the meat or just in general. The substitution of rice instead of bullion is an excellent suggestion. Also using the Bean Bean broth or aquafaba is a great flavor enhancer for free!
Loved the recipes! Also just have to say you are pleasant to listen to. Some YouTubers have irritating voices. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great job!!!
Awesome recipes, thanks for sharing β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I recently bought an 88c bag of mixed vegetables from Walmart. I boiled 1/2 the bag with the flavor packet from 2 Ramen pkgs. When done I added the Ramen noodles. A $1.00 lunch for 4. I really enjoy all your videos. Have to try the carrot cake pancakes. All dry beans are sooooo very good. Unlimited options. Your boys are so cute.
Another reason to get the rice is that together, beans and rice are a complete protein with all the amino acids you need. Everything looks yummy!
these meals look great..awesome for 10 bux!
A big pan of lentil stew.
Do you eat the skin of a sweet potato?
Wow! You did a great job. I agree with you about buying rice instead of the broth cubes. Thanks for sharing such good ideas.
Those meals all look really good. I love chili on sweet potatoes! Thank you for sharing with us.
I put chili over ramen noodles with a sprinkle of cheese if i have. I call it redneck chili 3way.
I really appreciate the budget videos. Being in a home of 3 adults two of which are unable to work at this time, I am always excited for budget ideas. I canβt wait to make the pancakes! And I think Iβll try the bean soup too! The super cold weather is due to start this weekend so I am definitely looking forward to soup season
These recipes sound great π! I love soup, I'd have to find something else for my daughter to eat though, she has food sensitivities. (Texture and certain foods, makes it challenging to feed us all the same thing). I wouldn't have a problem eating the same thing all week, we can change it up by adding other things like making chili-mac from chiliπ
You are so creative. I think that is why you have a lot of viewers. Keep up the good work.
Excellent choices for nutrition, vibrant color and taste. I did not do a calorie count. If the rice was added, it would up the bulk but cut the nutrition if white rice is chosen. Bullion is a kitchen staple for a lot of people. With rice, chicken bullion, 1-2 mini carrots, teaspoon of red onion and 1 tablespoon of tomatoes; you could have a simple dish with no spiciness. Just a thought. But with a $10 budget, something has to give.
Awesome job Ms Maria. π
I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. These are great and I also love that you make real food, not just canned or out of a box and that you try to consider the best nutrition you can purchase. Enjoy your day. Catherine
Hi Maria π
Maria, I have been so fortunate in my life to never have been food-insecure. But it does my heart good to see you so compassionate to share these videos with those who are. Thank you!!
These videos are really great
I smash up ramen noodles, in the package, before cooking. Thanks, Maria!
Everything looked delicious. I agree, I would have gone for the rice and eliminated the sweet potato (not a fan). Or another alternative would be to swap the sweet potato for white potatoes. Cubed and added to the soup and served mashed with the chili will also bulk up the meals. Great job!
Those beans would been so much better cooked hours longer and boiled at the end.

Back in the day (I'm talking about the late 50s early 60s) when my mom made bean soup she always put the beans in water and brought it to boil – drained it and then did the same thing 2 more times (that took the place of letting them sit over night)
Love seeing the boys you do such a good job Iβm on a fixed income and with picky eaters what to do lolπ
Instead of store bought syrup, if you have some brown sugar on hand, you can make brown sugar syrup by adding some water. .
I would just like to state that I think you did a great job! Everything you made was simple, gave good vegetarian options, and with a few swaps could easily be made GF and/or vegan if needed. Great channel!
WOW good job!
Chili on sweet potatoes looked delicious. The sauteed bananas also made me really want pancakes for breakfast in the morning with my husband. So hes gonna get some in the morning.
Love your videos, inexpensive but great looking food
I recently added different flavored ramon noodle packs to my pantry (my kids loved them many years ago). Thanks for the other ideas too.
Love this! You could always buy a couple packs of the ramen noodles, chicken or beef flavor, and use the bouillon packets from those and use the noodles for a different dish like vegetable stir fry, or in the soup you made! I love the chili sweet potato idea!
Sweet of you to be honest about not necessarily eating the foods over the 7 days. People do this all the time and I'm pretty sure they don't either π You are looking happy and healthy. 43K Yeah!
