Thank you for encouraging use of and donating to food pantries. I work at one and i want your viewers to know most can buy way more food if you donate cash than if you buy items yourself..in case noone is aware of that. $5 or $10 donation can buy a large amount if food thru the food bank purchasing power.

FYI.the shank portion of the ham contains mostly bone. The butt portion is the best for the price. You will pay more per pound but you will have 2 1/2 to 3 times more meat from your ham. You can get more meals, and sandwiches for lunch. Believe me you will definitely benefit from paying more in this situation.

Thank you for sharing this. You are doing Gods work helping those who may not be great home cooks. You prove that with a bit of planning and on the fly adaptation you can feed a whole family for under $50. Good tip on the yeast. I find bakers yeast the best. Those big blocks rather than the dried packet stuff. Another good tip for ppl with a garden is to plant your own Apple, Plum or Pear trees. Every year apart from the plums (bi yearly) we get free apples and pears and over harvest can be shared with neighbors or turned into yummy jam. I also have a Bay leaf tree and everyday herbs like parsely, mint, basil can be grown from seed in planters or from cuttings from existing plant and all it needs is some sunlight warmth and water its basically free. The herbs freshen up homecooked meals like crazy and add taste to otherwise bland tasting food.

I like your idea of stressing whole foods as opposed to a lot of processed ingredients. You also proved we can take basic ideas and switch them up when we find a great deal on an item we had not planned for. Switching the ham for the chicken definitely was a smart move. I never was a soda drinker on a regular basis and have finally weaned myself off potato chips the last was Doritos. I had to ask myself what nutritional value was a bag offering ? At $5-$6, a large bag of Doritos is the same price as say a package of Hamburger which could make 6-10 meals depending on how I used it, and also the price of meat in my area. Your little shopping buddy is a cutie.

I buy those too! Kroger has them. It’s a ten pound bag of leg quarters. And it’s like 67 cents a pound and there ya go. Broth, dumplings, fried chicken(dark meats always best) and btw y’all Paula deans fried chicken recipe is amazing. You need hot sauce, just like Texas Pete’s not Tabasco, salt pepper and garlic powder which she calls her house seasoning, eggs water flour and it’s so good. You just mix the hot sauce eggs and water whisk your eggs of course and then put the dry ingredients together. Flour your chicken, then dip in eggs and hot sauce then the flour again. That’s what I do. And make sure your grease is hot when you put your Chicken in. And btw y’all my mamaw taught me to save my chicken grease you just strain it into a container when it cools enough to. Or if you forget to when it’s still warm just warm it back up enough to get it out of your skillet:-) she’d use a spaghetti sauce jar.

I am eating all whole xlean foods nothing processed i have a soy allergy and a gluten allergy as well.

Lovely meals. We had a ham and used some for fried rice, we loved it with egg drop soup for a meal we call Chinese Fake Out, instead of take out. Simple and filling. I cannot find the yeast at Sam's or Costco but I do have some in freezer. Bought it a while back and it is still good. I like the look of that bread you made too. I am trying to make the sourdough you shared and it is not ready yet. I do love to make French bread and big rolls that taste like Kings sweet Hawaiian bread, especially big enough to make bun sized for pulled bbq meat sandwiches. Soups looked delicious too. I make a vegetable soup or lentil soup to carry for my lunches for the week. Very filling and frugal. Have a great weekend!

all beans should be sorted and washed before cooking for a family . They are often not cleaned properly,

Yes. I usually get in a hurry and forget. I hope the heat kills all the bad stuff.

Even though the butt portion of the ham is usually $.10 a lb more the meat is leaner and more plentiful.

Next time wash the beans before you cook it. You will see what I mean if you do it. Soak the beans the night before it cooks, add the salt after it cooks, and it will cook faster = saving on electricity bills. Great meals idea.

You’re right, I should have washed them! I forgot 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. I will try adding the salt afterwards and see how it helps! Thank you ❤️

Thanks for these ideas! I like how how you included some meatless meals. I also haven’t thought of using ham in all the ways you did.

Good meal plan. If you have instant potatoes you can use them as a thickening agent.
