[@KerryWhelpdale]

[@athomewithmama7341]

The croquettes remind me of holidays in Spain. I've never thought about trying them at home but a great idea!

The Tesco Hearty Food garlic bread is brilliant, I buy it regularly. They also have a big bag of fantastic little yorkshire puddings in the freezer section for something like 50p!

[@KerryWhelpdale]

I love all the hearty food range.. it’s absolutely brilliant and tastes just like more expensive ranges :) xxx

[@aileenspearin]

Love these budget meal ideas thanks! I would love to see more chicken recipes, and chicken/turkey mince recipes 👍

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Yes sure :) we love chicken in our home so I’ll add some into my next video :) xxx

[@TracyJane67]

Hi Kerry, I can’t believe how cheap these meals are coming out! The croquettes look delicious I have a Tefal air fryer but it’s the one with the paddle so that would break them up, I might try them in the oven. Your videos are so good, I wish I had your editing skills iv just started my own channel (not a foodie one, more fashion hauls) and I’m super amateurish but I’m having fun and can only get better 😊

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Yes pop them into the oven and it works just as well :) they are really yummy too :) My editing used to be terrible but over time it gets better and better so you will get there for sure :) xxx

[@joann9040]

Hi Kerry, just wanted to say that I have tried your Philadelphia salmon recipe also curried mince and both turned out delicious 😋 thank you 😊

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Aahh thank you so much for trying them :) I am so glad you enjoyed them both :) xxx

[@jacquelinebootman7004]

HI KERRY..all these meals are really good and the cost is great..all of them were yummy..xx👍🥗

[@KerryWhelpdale]

So glad you enjoyed them :) thank you for watching :) xxx

[@1976nf]

Kerry they are green or french beans. Runner beans are quite different almost flat, lighter green and much longer. Another great 4 meals 😁. Love your content xx

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Hehehe I don’t know what’s wrong with me! Any green bean I call a runner bean 😂😂😂

[@CollyInSA]

I really liked the idea of croquettes... I'm going to try making them in the oven ... really fun idea... also the brocolli curry looked delicious 🙂

[@KerryWhelpdale]

They are so good and so versatile too.. every time we make them they are different so we never get bored of them :) xxx

[@jennyt7612]

Thanks Kerry for these recipes - I am going to do the croquettes & the veggie curry this week. I don't have an airfryer so will probably do the croquettes in the frypan. If you were cooking them in a pan would you coat in flour or breadcrumbs prior to shallow frying?. I enjoy all your vlogs, thanks.

[@KerryWhelpdale]

They are such yummy meals :) yes I think I would put them in flour and breadcrumbs if frying them.. they will then go lovely and golden brown too :) xxx

[@Ala7051]

Love your recipes. So easy to cook and it taste delicious 😋 ♥️♥️👌👌

[@sasfleet8747]

Love these videos Kerry. Would you consider doing household budgeting tips too? X

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Oh yes sure :) that’s a great idea so I’ll definitely make a video like that soon :) xxx

[@sarahsaba4258]

If you get your rice in 5kg or 10kg bags, it lasts forever, and is sooooo cheap. I get Laila Basmati 5kg bags when they’re on sale for £5-6

[@lotown92]

Those Croquettes look so good!

[@KerryWhelpdale]

They are soooo yummy :) xxx

[@shaistahussain807]

It’s so yummy isn’t it :) and so economical :) xxx

[@shaistahussain807]

@@KerryWhelpdale yeah it is

[@anniejones5402]

If you shopped at Aldi and Lidl you'd probably be able to make these for £2 or less tbh!

[@VHPINC]

Great content! That white cast-iron pan you used does it have a special name? It looks like a smaller side Dutch oven by Le Creuset? Thanks so much.

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Yes it’s a Le Creuset pot.. i love it so much and use it all the time :) xxx

[@dianehealey479]

Hi Kerry what type of airfryer did you buy? I have my eye on the ninja foodi max but wonder if it may be too big. Also the beans you were using don't look like runner beans, more like a french bean. Runner beans are usually long and flat.

[@KerryWhelpdale]

I have a Proscenic air fryer and it’s brilliant.. I use it every single day and I rave about it to everyone!! Haha I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I seem to call all green beans runner beans 😂😂

[@kyeiwaah]

❤️❤️❤️

[@KerryWhelpdale]

😘😘

[@eileenkillen1481]

Tfs. X

[@christinecollins5830]

Look delicious. Just a quick question- should we use runner beans as you mention in the video, as the beans you’re using aren’t runner beans? Or should we use the green beans you’re cooking with here? Just wasn’t sure if you’re suggesting we use runner beans instead as you mentioned them a couple of times? Would they be better in these recipes? 🙂 x

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Hehehe for some reason I call all green beans runner beans!!! I would use these ones for the risotto but then you can use any veg you fancy for the curry :) I just used half the pack for one meal and the other half for the other :) so whatever suits you really :) xxx

[@1976nf]

Kerry I wonder how much these meals would be in 2022 with the current cost of living crisis? I know my weekly food bil is up around £15 a week since 2020. There's just 2 of us xx

[@MrDunk74]

I like to use cheap cuts of meat and slow cook them . Any ideas?

[@talla2315]

I tried to open the air fryer but it's very hard , is it normal for it to happen? It's the proscenic , the one that you have.did you have the same problem when it was new?

[@KerryWhelpdale]

There is a clear plastic bit at the top of the handle.. you need to push that in and that pops open the air fryer :) xxx

[@talla2315]

Someone told me that this particular airfryer dents very easily and not only that she says if you are not careful when you pull out the basket, it will fall apart and the food goes everywhere . Please tel me it's not true, because I want to buy the same one . Thank you , and I love the way you put together

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Oh no I havnt found that at all.. it’s been brilliant and the basket I find is really sturdy :) xxx

[@talla2315]

Kerry Whelpdale o you made my day because I couldn’t wait for your reply and I ordered one with the worry inside me . Thank you again.

[@gillianwood8442]

How is the air fryer going?x

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Absolutely LOVE IT!! Got a video this Sunday about it!! Honestly can’t get enough of it! Hehe xxx

[@joannewall6359]

I tend to go meatless too x

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Yes we are more and more these days.. it’s making us eat so many more veggies too :) xxx

[@felicityclulow9383]

Love your videos, they are french beans not runner beans🌸

[@KerryWhelpdale]

Haha I always get the beans mixed up 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ hehe xxx
