A Full Day of New Dollar Tree Food & Recipes!

[@lisalee1110]

Congratulations on your sponsorship! Additionally, I just saw you on ABC News today when they were talking about ways to save money. I don't know if you saw it yet but that's amazing that you are on the national news now talking about Dollar Tree dinners. I am very happy for you. I'm glad you're getting this recognition you deserve and I hope it opens more doors for you! Lisa in Las Vegas

[@zachburn5546]

Wow! That is so cool, thanks for sharing. I don't have cable. Would have never known how much shes grown. My favorite channel.

[@emilyemilymarcus]

Girl you know you’re doing something right when all of us are so excited and proud of you for your first sponsored video!!! I’ve yet to find anyone else on this app I feel like deserves this more!

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thank you so much! I won't be doing them very often, I am super picky about what brands I work with, but I have personally subscribed to fabfitfun myself and I love what they offer. So I was truly excited to work with them.

[@jjj7383h]

fabfitfun was so smart to do a sponsorship with you. you’re one of the most honest and genuine youtubers out here.

[@NannyTam]

Congratulations, Rebecca! Very cool sponsorship! 🎉🎉🎉Quick tip on grating the cheese. Remove the cheese from packaging and freeze for 15-20 min. Not frozen solid, but about half way. It won't stick to the grater, and will shred beautifully. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@michellecooksinthe920]

Congratulations on your first sponsored KZbin video!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thank you!

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, now we're going to be sold stuff every time we watch a video. Sigh. I know it's good for the video maker. But I am so burned out on that type of thing. It also then makes me wonder if people are doing YT because they want to, or because it's now a job.

[@michellecooksinthe920]

​@@Yesica1993I understand what you are saying but they do deserve to get paid as well

[@leanngatewood1883]

Of course it’s a job. I can only imagine how long it takes to record the video, edit, and think of what to record. The influencers who enjoy what they are doing is apparent. Rebecca definitely enjoys what she’s doing! If you don’t want to watch the “commercial” then just fast forward through that portion. I just appreciate she take any time to help me save money and give me ideas for meals. Thanks Rebecca!

[@Yesica1993]

@@michellecooksinthe920 . I'm not saying they should not.

[@Tickles_The_Oaf]

Hooray 🥳 Congrats on your well deserved sponsorship!! I’m so so pleased for you! I’ve had that exact mackerel from Dollar Tree and I just ate it plain. As a fatty protein source, you can’t beat it in value! Wild caught mackerel with bones (you can and should eat them bones!) with no chemicals! Amazing! You can make a sandwich filling or cracker dip with the mackerel (mashed), avocado, and whatever else you want to add.

[@unboxingformylife1611]

Not me crying over your WELL DESERVED sponsor!!! Omg I'm so happy for you!!!!😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[@poketographyyy]

You deserve the sponsor! I hope no one makes you feel guilty for it as this is basically a job and you're giving out valuable information (using your own money nonetheless) with your own time for FREE on KZbin. Congratulations, and I truly appreciate your work and empathy and thoughtfulness! Good morning and I hope that the move is going well for you and your family!

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thank you so much for the support! Moving is going well!

[@Marigold-m2]

The soft bones in mackerel, sardines & salmon add calcium to your diet & won't hurt you as long as you chew your food & don't inhale it.

[@clarekramer411]

I just found your channel yesterday and I love watching you! You are really authentic. Watching you eat and enjoy the macro patties was magical. Don't stop doing what you're doing! I'm learning a lot and I'm 62 so thank you!

[@five_pennies]

Also you can definitely just use mayo in crab/fish cakes. I used to make both crab cakes and salmon croquettes at an old job. We just used mayo and panko bread crumbs as binders. The key is to preform the cakes and chill them before cooking. If they're still kind of crumbly they don't have enough mayo. We also dredged the salmon croquettes in a breadcrumb/crushed pistachio mixture before frying, and crabcakes were cooked on the flat top grill, not fried at all. Grilled crabcakes are surprisingly good!

[@calihapamama]

Mackerel is definitely an oily fish. An alternate way to prepare that kind of mackerel would be to break it up like you did for the fish cakes and simmer it in teriyaki sauce or a sweetened soy sauce mixture until it’s heated through. Then you mix it into cooked rice.

[@ramboschommer]

Soooooooo delicious this way!!!

[@rosacanisalba]

The bones in that kind of mackerel or salmon have been softened by the processing. This means you can eat the bones with no fear. It also means that the calcium content is higher.

[@kakylong2]

Rebecca, Yay for you getting a sponsor. It's way past due. Your videos are awesome! May this be the 1st of many. 😊

[@violapastuszyn1349]

In honor of your first sponsorship, I actually watched that part vs clicking around to see where it ends.

[@rayrayravenclaw4385]

Same

[@Laguns-ij4hn]

Same. I actually considered subbing which i never do.

[@glitchvomit]

Me too. I respect Rebecca too much to skip a sponsorship of hers.

[@karenfrankland7763]

I buy the mackerel in a can which you do need to remove the spine. I mix homemade Parmesan bread crumbs, green peppers diced and red onions diced and some Old Bay seasoning mix and ground pepper with an egg or so to incorporate everything. Fry in Avocado oil til golden brown and they are delicious. They taste just like crab cakes.

[@opalmoon2256]

🎉Congratulations for ur first sponsor!!! Everything looked good even the mackerel patties, not going to lie...was worried fot a tiny bit....L0L!! Please make more peppermint chocolate desserts like.... (chocolate chip cookies, brownies, chocolate bars) that cake looked delicious but I would definitely do less frosting or not warm it at all, so you can create the marble look...anyway, great job for sharing such great ideas 🫶😊

[@Lottie_Girl]

Omg Rebecca!🎉🎉 GMA and now a sponsorship! I am so excited for you. I was just watching one of your first videos yesterday where you said it was your first time cooking with dollar tree ingredients and your first time trying dollar tree food in general. Look at you now! Get it girrrrrrrrll!!! 🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤

[@DollarTreeDinners]

It's been a wild ride for sure! I love it though! thank you for watching!

[@Lottie_Girl]

@DollarTreeDinners it must be so surreal 🤯. But you've worked so hard for so long and you deserve every bit of success you find. 🎊🎊🏆

[@peacefulinspirations7312]

mackerel is similar to canned salmon. the bones are very soft. I usually remove them.I remove the skin also. bless you.

[@sonyafox3271]

The bones are in canned salmon and mackerel, my mom always used canned salmon and, that’s what, I use. But, my mom from time to time didn’t get all the bones out and, not good when, they get caught on your teeth! I won’t be buying salmon for quite sometime now, as they went back up to close to $4 a can! 13:49

[@cindymichaud7111]

Glad you managed your initial thoughts re: the mackerel. It's an oily fish, but healthy. You did well. God bless 💖✝

[@maddiemaccheese8170]

Huge congrats on your first ever sponsorship!! Your channel's growth in the last couple years has been amazing and I'm wishing you continued success 💕💕

[@Tiffany-vj1tv]

Congratulations! 👩‍🍳🥂💐 you deserve it! You are an amazing wonderful, kind and caring human being. Thank you for all of your hard work and for helping everyone out there feed their families and or themselves on a budget with wholesome recipes that are nutritious. We appreciate you and all you do. Many blessings🙏❤️

[@aaragon]

Get that sponsorship coin Rebecca!!!! 💞💞💞 I wish you nothing but success

[@willardkathy9588]

Bones in canned or pouched fish are usually soft and are what make the fish calcium rich.

[@rebeccaramsey1274]

I have a "cup baker" little countertop appliance. Ive had it since i was a kid and it still works. It makes cupcake sized shells out of whatever, and pretty fast. Brownies are fun, then fill them with fudge or cheesecake type filling.

[@simclev9406]

Mackeral patties were a regular dinner when I was growing up. I forget if you are a mustard girl, but they are DELICIOUS with yellow mustard.

[@hazelg5019]

I grew up with mackerel patties. My mom made them often, and we loved them as kids. You have to season them well and chill before cooking.

[@andreamills5852]

Congratulations 🎊 and I don't know if you have eaten canned salmon but as with the fish you used it contains the bones they are cooked and can be eaten. 😊❤

[@lukestark217]

Congrats on the sponsorship!! ❤️❤️❤️ When I make mandu it dumpling ramen, I save the water that I boil the dumplings in and use it to cook the ramen - it makes a really nice broth!

[@bsouthmama3010]

Woo Hoo a sponsor!! 🎉🎊🎈Congratulations Rebecca! You deserve it so much! You teach us how to take cheaper ingredients and make them taste so delicious so please keep them coming! Much Love from KY ❤️❤️

[@robylove9190]

I really like the Bibigo Mandy dumplings. They are very flavorful. I especially like that they have glass noodles in them. They are also, a little cheaper at Dollar Tree than at Kroger.

[@nancycarney]

I love the dollar tree $3-$5 section for my meat and the Kroger $5 packages of 10 chicken legs and 5 pork chops. It's just me so this gives me more of a variety of meat protein. I also enjoy the $1.25 cheese because I hardly use it. The qrts of milk are perfect.

[@DollarTreeDinners]

oh my! I wish mine had that! it's just prepared food in the $3, $4, and $5 section for me. The only meats are the $5 packs of shrimp and salmon, which are super helpful though when you only need a little bit.

[@maymorning8504]

I had boiled dumplings in ramen for dinner last night! I add kewpie mayo and sriracha to the bowl before putting the broth in and it makes everything so creamy and a little spicy. Great quick dinner, especially with some frozen vegetables!

[@theunsinkablekatiemae]

Congrats on your sponsorship! So well deserved. I wonder for icing the cake if it was frosted in white or the chocolate first, then heating the other two colors just a bit and swirling spoonfuls of it through the base color with a knife or a toothpick…? Maybe I’ll try it 😊

[@kerrigomez8445]

I loved all the ideas. I think you are right about the white icing. The red has so much food dye it probably stained the white to a pink. I like the idea though. I love all your fun ideas. Just a thought for upcoming content… what about themed dinners? Mexican, Italian, Chinese, pizza shop, warm and cozy (like a chicken pot pie?), seafood, etc. I love how creative you are and get so many good ideas from you.

[@earlenebrown7181]

I was so happy to see you be high lighted on Good Morning America this week with you Dollar Tree Dinners congratulations.😀

[@armchairguru1921]

A suggestion for the cake: spread white icing on one half of the cake and red icing on the other, then use a knife to swirl them together. I guess you could do this with all three icings too. No need to microwave the icings.

[@rcdoodles6214]

Huge congratulations on being sponsored! You have so earned it. I was laughing out loud when you first opened the mackerel. Your uncertainty about how to pick them up was hilarious. Great job - I always enjoy your videos. Your peaceful personality shines through each time. 😊

[@Marigold-m2]

You might get more peppermint flavour in the cake if you added some crushed candy canes to the cake mix before baking.

[@ElizabethGontkovic-uq4mw]

I ❤ the Mackerel pouches..Surprising way more then expected...For $1.25 deal, deal....

[@lexicaprise1216]

Congrats on your sponsorship ❤ it was so funny watching you try the mackerel cakes 😂 it’s great seeing your honest reaction. And it’s so relatable bc sometimes when you’re making budget food you’re trying to whip something up and whole time you’re like … idk about this but we’re gonna work with what we got! ❤

[@lexicaprise1216]

The cake looks so cool!

[@michaelaradecki5436]

I kind of giggled at how nervous you were about the mackerels. Queen is it gunna bite you 😂 anyway LOVE YOUR VIDEOS😊

[@pigoff123]

I substitute applesauce for vegetable oil in my recipes.😊

[@PaeBlack]

Love when people try new foods with a positive open mind! Congratulations on the sponsorship!

[@KarenBowers4]

Getting your first sponsor is so exciting, all ill say its about time they recognized your talent. I love the cake it was really cute and easy to make.

[@willardkathy9588]

In my poor college days I couldn't afford salmon so I made salmon patties with canned mackerel. Yum

[@mrs.ruthven4125]

I love that sausage gravy. I just have it over a slice of white bread. It's filling and does have a lot of flavor.

[@KayDeRossa]

You are my top favorite dollar tree and budget eating creator you’ve taught me allot and I so appreciate your content!❤

[@SuzieLandry-w4y]

I sure hope my dollar tree has these. Fish. They are very good for you. I eat bone and all. Congratulations on your sponsorship. I love most of your recipes.

[@kristymccune6518]

The extra coffee, you could have poked holes in the cake after it was baked and poured the leftover coffee over to give more flavor. Kind of like tres leches. Love your videos!

[@conniesmith3544]

This was fun watching! Thank you for sharing. Word of caution. Watch about what you delete from your kitchen arsenal. I am speaking from experience unfortunately. Excited for your move!

[@msl7863]

Congrats on your sponsorship!!! I wish they would make the dumplings smaller, so that they came 8/10 bag, because I hate odd numbers...lol

[@SuzieLandry-w4y]

Mustard is fabulous with these. From Louisiana.

[@gidget8717]

I'd have added a little scrambled egg in the gravy biscuit muffin. How fun! 😄

[@carolyndetemple]

PS In my current lifetime, I am a soap and candle maker. I give them away at Christmas. If you’re ever interested in making some how to’s on this I would be the first one to watch it ☺️

Such a pretty bracelet, all those products look fantastic. You always come up with great recipes when I need it.

[@stephsstuff270]

Congrats on the sponsor!! That is wonderful! Those Bibigo dumplings are SO good! I use them for easy soups & stirfrys. They are one of my favorites! I usually buy the mini ones at Walmart (24 oz for $6.98 here in south central KY).

[@jasond.b-w]

Perfect timing! I just got my SNAP this week but opted not to eat yet because I’d rather have food closer to the end of the month when the weather will be too poor to go out. I get $23/month in SNAP and pay 99.3% of my income for rent, meaning I have to choose which days to eat VERY carefully! Your videos always help me plan out the meal I want to shop for _before_ going out so I have to spend the least time in the store as possible. Thank you 💕

[@charolettevinson2843]

A egg and a little flour and corn meal and if you have any onion

[@rosemaryteddy8591]

I love peppermint coffee creamer and peppermint bark. Mackerel it's a no for me but husband likes it. I'll look for the gravy.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

So happy that you have a sponsorship. Richly deserved! The dishes look wonderful! Thank you for the video! 😊
