[@JuliaPacheco]

I really am SO thankful for each and every single one of you! ❤ I posted a bonus video on Friday, here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noapepZ-jZilm8Usi=xOmoqBijezFd62IP

[@terriemartinez9989]

It was a very 🎉FUN🎉 Video!

[@klevatino4525]

I just told my husband about the meals you created that were basically under $5 .He couldn’t believe it.Thank you again for inspiring us!

[@JuliaPacheco]

@terrie Thank you so very much!

[@JuliaPacheco]

@klevatino that’s awesome! I’m so happy to hear that positive feedback! I’m glad they looked tasty too🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@terriemartinez9989]

BTW.. I was taught to not put salt or spices in the dry beans too early. Just beans and water for an hour or 3.. (Even pork ) It makes the hulls of the beans tough. 😏

[@MrsZhang91011]

Can we just recognize Julia for being so respectful when filming inside stores? Instead of standing in the middle of a busy aisle, talking to a camera, she does a voiceover and only films the products inside the store. It's nice to see a vlogger being considerate of other people's privacy. Great job Julia! Also, the meatless beans and vegetable dish looks super yummy! Will definitely have to try that. 🙂

[@Letsgoshoppingbestie]

Exactly most act like they own the store

[@klevatino4525]

She’s the best ❤

[@angelasnodgrass6621]

I agree.

[@meganelizabeth772]

Whenever I film things to send videos to send to my fiance, I do the same thing. I do it mainly because I don't like the attention. Maybe she feels the same way on top of the respect she's trying to give others 🙃

[@hardywifesweetlife1746]

Yes!! 🙌💯

[@tbpb05]

You have no idea how needed this was for me and my family this week! I literally have $100 to get us through the week. I work midnights and I was reviewing your old $5 dinners last night. So thank you. I will definitely be making some of these this week.

[@JuliaPacheco]

I’m happy to hear that these meals will help. This can definitely be an extra tough time of year. I hope you all enjoy these recipes and I hope things get better for you soon! Thank you so very much for your wonderful support💜💜

[@norlinda5173]

[@inthepinesmama]

Your channel is going above and beyond my expectations! Your recipes are so simple, easy to follow, inexpensive and delicious. They are helping me so much!! I'm a retired single senior on a fixed budget. I never did much cooking because most recipes are too overwhelming and have so many ingredients that I don’t use up. It can get expensive fast!! I bought your cookbook yesterday…I can’t wait to get it 😊 I’m glad they are selling so fast 👍🏻 I’m not surprised❣️

[@JuliaPacheco]

Oh my goodness. Thank you so very much, Betsy. I sure do appreciate all of your positive feedback and I am so very happy to have you here as one of my supporters. Most of all, I’m happy that my recipes help you so much. I can’t imagine it would be very difficult as a senior on a fixed income. Thank you so much for your friendship here and I hope you enjoy some of these meals💜💜

[@sybleythomas3496]

Good morning Julia. Went to the grocery store yesterday and I have almost everything off your list to make the majority of your recipes. All your recipes are so easy to make. thanks

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s wonderful! Thank you so very much for letting me know and I hope that you enjoy these recipes this week and they help you save some money at the same time🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@nancycarney]

I have been sharing $5 meals on Facebook with friends. I am steering them your way for more ideas that are amazing. So many families are struggling right now with making ends meet. I love that you take all of this into consideration. I try so hard to make menus for 4-6 people. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Well thank you so very much, Nancy. That means the world to me! Thank you so much for steering them my way. And yes, we definitely can all use these kinds of ideas and recipes. Thank you so very much again💜🙌🏼

[@shayshaymann113]

I usually never cook my pasta with the sauces due to overcooking them! I always cook them separately in a pot of water and then add to sauce. Of course this is personal preference, but a tip for those who run into the same issue

[@1SweetB]

I love it! You always do so good! But I have been saving sooo much money and paying the 4 more dollars for the great big Mexican bullion. It lasts at least 3 wks usually longer, just depends on dinners. I get the beef, chicken and tomato with chicken. I use them all the time, I always use them when cooking the meat. Best find ever!!! Y'all have a great blessed and beautiful day 🙏🙌☺️💖🥰💕

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s a wonderful tip, Brandy!! And yes! They are really good. Thank you so much for your wonderful support and I sure do appreciate you watching💜💜

[@lovesPaulRodriguez]

I will say it again, I love when you take us to the store with you.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much! I sure appreciate your positive feedback.🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@suewolf3279]

Julia, by the way, I have finally found time to look through your cookbook. It's amazing. My daughter is a chef, and she has been in several magazines, so we both know the hard work, planning, and organization that went into making your cookbook. Not only do I like the instructions, well-written, but the photographs are excellent. Photographs do help many, many people with a recipe. Congratulations! Job well done❤

[@JuliaPacheco]

Wow! Thank you so very much for your wonderful feedback. And especially your daughter! That means a lot to me to hear that chef has approved my cookbook. Ha ha! I’m so happy to hear that and thank you so very much for ordering my cookbook💜💜

[@markbeasley5322]

I love your enthusiasm! It keeps me coming back to see what food adventures you are going to have!

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much! I appreciate that so much and I am so very happy to have you here🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@staceyrogers6125]

I always appreciate your consideration for budget, flavor, and nutrition! This should empower people to know that they don't have to eat low nutrient foods on a low budget. Bellies can be filled, but also have some added nutrition.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much, Stacey. Your positive feedback and support means so much to me. Thank you so much for sharing that great insight and I appreciate you here. I hope you enjoy some of these recipes!💜

[@SpanishwithNeena]

I got your cookbook last week and it's really a quality book. The photography is amazing. I've already cooked a couple of the dishes. I love your videos, Julia!

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s wonderful! I’m so happy you were so pleased with it. Thank you so very much for letting me know and I sure do appreciate your positive words💜💜💜

[@zoeyd9763]

You should make a video on how to strech your food with more cooking from scratch. I know it’s not as fast but it could show some how to save more money! Love your videos!❤

[@fascination2525]

I've used that canned Hunt's pasta sauce for years. It's the same size as the jarred ones for about 40% less. Touch up the seasonings a bit, if you wish, and it tastes just as good.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much for sharing your positive feedback about that pasta sauce. And yes! It is very tasty and economical too. Thank you so much and I hope you have a great rest of your day💜💜💜

[@MelHeat]

I do the same. I usually get the garlic and herb or the 4 cheese

[@silviadevasquez3322]

Well thank you so very much, Silvia! You are so kind and I really do appreciate your positive words💜💜💜

[@saraschelhorn809]

Julia, thank you for creating a cookbook with nutritious meals. I work so many hours from home and rarely have time to cook. My precious husband does NOT cook and happened to tune into your channel. He really enjoyed watching you shop on a tight budget that he ordered your cookbook!!! He told me he is inspired to learn to cook by following your recipes. So... I am totally stoked! Also, you are such a beautiful light. Keep shining and congratulations on your book. God bless you.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Oh my goodness, Sara! That is just the best thing ever!! I am so happy to hear that he ordered my cookbook and is inspired to cook now. I sure hope that you enjoy my meals together and thank you so very much for your positive feedback💜💜💜

[@aurelialogan589]

Just what I needed this morning. Cheap and good recipes. 😊 I love how we can just print off the recipes.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much! And I appreciate that positive feedback💜💜

[@susanmolnar9606]

Great ideas for simple hearty meals! I’m 60 and just started using beans. Where have they been all my life. Lol. And I thought I was the only one who knew the trick with tomato paste. 😂. I’m waiting for your cookbook. Yay 😀

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s awesome that you are using beans now, Susan! Good for you. And yes, that is a great tomato paste trick. I’m so glad you have ordered my cookbook and I sure do hope you love it💜💜💜

[@vbo9872]

I especially like both recipes made from the beans package.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so much🤗

[@miryams6839]

I watch your videos to feel the love and care vibes in every word you say and every step you do to make meals. May God bless you, my dear.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much. You are so kind and I sure do appreciate that. I’m happy to hear that my videos make a difference to you💜💜

[@deenadickerson9219]

Years ago when we were moving, I cooked a crockpot of the soup bean mix with some precooked polish sausage. That evening, we had an awesome dinner for everyone who helped us. It's refreshing to see a younger person cooking dishes like these. Thanks for sharing these with us 😊❤

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s awesome! I sure do appreciate your positive feedback about this bean mix. That is a great memory! Thank you so much for your positive comment and I appreciate you here🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@shelleylee8774]

That ham and bean soup looks luscious and perfect for this time of year! Before I retired I stocked my pantry with staple items, and lots of different kinds of beans and legumes. I think I'm going to combine a bunch of them into bean mixes for soups. I love to can beans for quick meals, so I may can some as well. I also buy potatoes in bulk, cube them, and can them. So easy to throw together a soup. Your videos always get me motivated when I find myself in a "what's for dinner" rut.

[@JuliaPacheco]

That was a wonderful idea, Shelley! Good for you! I’m so happy to hear that you have a good stockpile of essentials. I sure hope you enjoy some of these recipes🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@lauraharlow1749]

I like using Hambeens when I need beans for a recipe or soup. Definitely budget friendly! And tasty!!! Thank you again for sharing your ideas, Julia! Winners, as always!!! Wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead!!! 😊❤

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s a wonderful tip! I really do appreciate you sharing it, Laura. I am sure other people benefit from it too. Thank you so very much for your positive feedback and I’m so happy to have you here. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend🌲🤍⛄️

I love canned potatoes! For the holidays my mom always makes french onion potatoes with them!

[@julsenn91]

Love 15 bean soup. A go to in my house. Good with chicken or sausage too. Good way to use leftover over meats as you could combine a few.

Thank you so very much for sharing that! And adding me to it I’m sure makes it even tastier. Thank you so much🙌🏼🙌🏼

i cannot recommend Julia’s cookbook more! if you are an experienced cook or if you are wanting to learn how to make really good food for the first time in your life, there is something for everyone. Everything i’ve made from her book so far has been super easy and super yummy! i’m giving a copy to my mom for christmas.

[@QueenofTaterTots]

I know you don't mean it but calling it a challenge is a bit insensitive to people who *have* to live this low budget just to survive

[@RichiexFelicia]

The kewl thing about the soupy, liquidy, saucy dishes is you can skip the bullion and freeze in containers. When ready, you can add the frozen food to a pot with broth or bullion and water to stretch it a bit further and even add on top of rice, noodles or etc like a "fancy" sauce.

[@JuliaPacheco]

That is very true! I appreciate you sharing that great tip here and I appreciate you watching🙌🏼🙌🏼

Hi Julia! Just when I really need them, you have given me inexpensive meal ideas. I know they are delicious because your recipes have never disappointed me. You are such a joy to watch!!! I hope you and your family have a great holiday season.

[@Nikkinitelite]

I made the Goulash tonight and it was delish. I always tend to make a little more, feeding 5 (2 being teenagers) so I used 1lb sausage, then cooked the other half lb of pasta separate. I cooked everything else to recipe, then added extra cook pasta at the end. My family loved it and there’s leftover for husbands lunch at work tomorrow. Even with doubling the sausage and the noodles, this is still a very affordable and a yummy, filling meal. The recipe went straight to the “keep always” recipe index card box! My daughter is 18 in a few months so when she goes out on her own this will be a recipe I send with her. Thanks a bunch!

[@JuliaPacheco]

Oh my goodness! I am so very happy to hear that you enjoyed that recipe so much and hopefully your husband will enjoy it for a couple days for lunch this week, Nikki. Thank you so much again for sharing your positive feedback and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend💜💜🙌🏼🙌🏼

Watching you make goulash brought back some wonderful childhood memories for me. My mother made a large cast iron skillet full of goulash at least twice a month. I had two brothers, so we needed meals that would fill them up! I remember watching her add the tiny, dry macaroni pasta, and being amazed at how they puffed up and became DINNER!! Now I will be making this for our family too!

[@stacibeuchert]

I felt the same ghoulash was a family staple growing up and I still love it😊❤

We add canned rinsed and drained mushrooms that we chop up. We add monterey jack and extra sharp cheese. Also, add salsa. I bake the eggs by themselves first at 400 to 405 degrees up to a soft set. Perhaps 15 to 20 minutes. I remove the eggs from the oven, adding all of the remaining ingredients like you did and the additional items I mentioned above. Back into the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 to 30 minutes. Until the cheese is fully melted and has a little Browning to it.

I am loving your new cookbook along with the addition pantry must haves and conversion chart which are both now hanging inside of my cupboard. I feel blessed to be cooking with you ❤

[@JuliaPacheco]

Oh my goodness, Heidi! You are awesome. Thank you so very much for your kind words of support and I sure do appreciate you purchasing my cookbook. I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I hope you have a wonderful week in Wyoming and thank you so very much for your KZbin friendship💜💜💜

Big fan of breakfast for dinner - egg casserole for the win!

[@JuliaPacheco]

And it will definitely fill you up! Thank you so much🙌🏼🙌🏼

I'm getting ready to move. My son is now 19 months and when I can't figure out what to make I come to your channel. Make some meals for picky toddlers or give some ideas.

Oh! Thank you so very much. You are so kind💜💜💜

Update: made the goulash and it was a hit! I changed two things - I used a whole pound of sausage and I used a transponder hole 12 oz. if mixed veggies. I wasn't actually sure what size bag you used in your recipes, but anyway, that's what I did, mainly because I didn't know what to do with only a half pound of sausage after I used the first half. Also, my son eats a LOT of food and he wanted me to use the whole tube of sausage. Anyway, it worked out, thanks for the recipe ❤ How many adults do these recipes feed? It's just my husband, my son, and me, but my son eats double what my husband or I eat, so I count him as 2 people :D I love your videos because they're so easy to follow and you don't make us watch you cut up all your vegetables :) I will be making the goulash for dinner tonight and the breakfast casserole this weekend for breakfast

You might like a small strainer w a handle from the dollar tree, they also have metal mesh ones for small things like quinoa.

Well thank you so very much, Nancy. I appreciate that positive feedback and I’m so happy you’re enjoying my cookbook so much. Thank you so much for your great support💜💜

[@steveleavell114]

I've been making a lot of goulash lately. Instead of a half box of elbows I've been using a box of mac and cheese. When the stew is finished cooking add in the cheese packet, either as is or with the milk and butter. Adds maybe $.15 to the price but makes a huge difference in flavor.

[@JuliaPacheco]

It’s a great tip! Thank you so much for sharing that. I appreciate it and I hope you enjoy some of these other recipes🙌🏼

[@whatwilliwatch3405]

These all look delicious! One thing that would be helpful, since family sizes vary: if you could provide the approximate number of servings for your meals, that would be great. Please consider including this in future videos. Thanks!

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much! If you go to my description box and click on to read more and scroll down, you’ll find the links to my recipes. The serving size for each recipe is at the top of the recipe. I hope this helps!🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@whatwilliwatch3405]

@@JuliaPacheco Thank you! That does help. I usually just go by the video, and don't always think to check the links in the description, so that is good to know.

[@ACNghost]

Thank you for doing this! It’s going to help our family. Do you mind letting us know or showing us the sizes of each product next time? I tried pausing it but some are blurry or to fast. Thanks again for all the good you are doing❤

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much for your suggestion! And I appreciate your positive feedback about this video. You have a great rest of your week and I hope you enjoy some of these recipes🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Autumn-o1s]

I received my cookbook and was trying to figure out which recipes to start with. Of course they all look amazing so I decided to start at the beginning. I’m almost healed so will hopefully be starting on them soon❤️

[@JuliaPacheco]

I hope you enjoy them! And that’s awesome that you’re starting from the very beginning. Thank you so much. I hope you start to feel better soon!🙌🏼

[@amycole4192]

I don't use potatoes as much as some people do. I usually buy a small bag and still end up with a few that end up going bad, but CANNED potatoes!!? Never noticed, nor have I ever thought of it 😂 I just Love your life saver ideas ;))

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so much, Amy! I know exactly what you mean. If you don’t have a super cool place to store potatoes, they go bad so quickly🥴🥴 thanks so much for your positive comment!!

[@BassRacerx]

for Goulash try using tomato puree and beef stock instead of tomato/spaghetti sauce. Add your tomato paste closer to the end to thicken it up as needed. Also lots of onions (about two or three Giant onions) and paprika (2.5 tablespoons). Onions and paprika is what makes Goulash taste like Goulash. Also some beef bullion cubes or better than bullion and maggi seasoning to taste. That probably takes it over the $5 budget but usually when i make Goulash I make 6-8 quarts of the Goulash plus Spätzle. its probably 25-30 dollars all in because i use about 3lbs cubed steak ( cheap cuts) Kinda expensive to cook but per severing it is not bad at all!

[@JuliaPacheco]

Sounds amazing! And you’re right, definitely over the five dollar budget, but I sure do appreciate you sharing it!🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@courtneylaurengalind]

Yay the budget videos are my favorite!
