[@sherlynpatterson4304]

The zucchini rice looks yummy.

[@emily--m]

Beautiful recipes. Great ideas for 3 meals under $30. Thank you for sharing. Kids are beautiful ❤️. Have a blessed and beautiful day 🥰

[@snownurse]

[@JESUSLOVESYOU.150]

The kids are growing up so fast!!♥️

[@Marshlilly]

Don't forget, you can freeze the extras of just about anything. Even the parsley.😊

Dear Maria, love,love,love your idea of taco bowls! I use alot of the same ingredients for our taco bowls. Yes corn and rice in the taco bowls is a must for us. I also sub ground turkey or ground chicken instead of ground beef. We also use salsa and guacamole on top. For cheese we use vegan cheese for our lactose intolerance. Love garlic&onion in many of our meals! Love your inspirational ideas! Thanks for your video. Taco bowls for us is so versatile!sometimes we place salad greens under the rice,corn,ground turkey with crushed tortilla chips on top as garnish with shredded cheese! Yum!

[@tashaadolph677]

Groceries are so expensive where I'm from in Canada. Meal planning is a must for me!

I shared on another channel that I buy canned and beans and I was at ALDIS Saturday and the black beans I always buy went from $.99 to......$2.59. My eyeballs popped out!

[@louiseeiffel1014]

Everything looks like a 10 out of 10. Think I'd better plan a trip to the grocery store tomorrow. Thanks.

[@sumsharp]

I'll be trying some of these. I got on a binge and bought loads of different flavored olive oils and my garlic one will do a great job with these.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yes definitely!!

[@amaya1561]

Thanks for the amazing meal ideas! I also giggled at Ben grabbing at your legs while you chopped up that garlic... totally relate 😂

[@lucyphenicie5236]

Yes enjoy kids and meal saving ideas.the boys are such good eaters. Glad all are outside too.😊

Lower heat to medium-low and cover& let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the elbow macaroni, stir well. Cover and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until pasta is cooked. Once cooked, remove the bay leaves. Add the cheddar cheese and mix until melted. Add mozzarella right before serving This recipe is Kid-Friendly and Parents will enjoy it too!!! I do the recipe to the T but I crush Ritz Crackers on top for an extra crunch :) :) It is from Taylor Elmore from KZbin .

[@sherlynpatterson4304]

Anaheim chillie is a good substitute for a none hot chili. It is the flavor of green chilies. There is another green chili that looks like an Anaheim chili thats spicey hot. Pablano chili peppers are a medium hot substitute for jalapenos.

[@ariella1357]

Great job, Maria! I love all your videos, but this one is one of the best ;) All these recipes are seriously amazing, I’m going to try making ‘em all. Thank you for your inspiring content 😊

[@FierceRichMoney]

Thanks for your fabulous channel. I mention your channel in my latest video. You're awesome

[@wheatie83]

I would have added beans to the taco bowl. Mimic chipotle and pancheros and qdoba burrito bowls.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Great idea!!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Another savings trick for cheese is to buy a sharper cheese and then just use less.

[@sheneiaparks4745]

As far as your money saving tips. I've noticed stores are keeping the price the same or saying they lowered the price, but they are really lowering the amount of product in the package.

[@wildchicka87]

We made burritos bowls last Saturday and i also grabbed small.sour cream.even tho i wanted the bigger one coz the prices were so close! Aslo i always shred my own cheese . I don't like the one that is already shredded coz i never melts the same way and it's covered with something and the taste is nahhh

[@tcctocrazytccarson7309]

Yummmm 💜

[@dabaglady]

Can you please do a segment on your bread???

[@MealsWithMaria]

Do you mean sourdough?

[@lindatsai3454]

This is a stupid question but can you pre shred a bunch of cheese to use later or do you have to use it up right after shredding? Does cheese you shred at home go bad faster? (I read somewhere that it does??) This has always been my hindrance to not shredding my own cheese

[@pmc4218]

Shredding your own cheese doesn't have the added sawdust or whatever else they put in there.

[@hollyfink6168]

Some days, I just don’t feel it. Plus, my husband thinks if it’s a bar of cheese he can just eat it, non stop. Then when I go to use it, it’s gone. Totally agree with you.

[@sarahl.944]

My husband does that too.(I feel your pain.) I have to hide any cheese I need for recipes. 😅

[@pmc4218]

@@hollyfink6168 I've used preshredded also when its just too much for my arthritis . No shame. Just saying shredding your own is best

[@pmc4218]

Personally I can't eat cilantro soap 🤪

[@rhiahlMT]

I have 3 kids who can't eat it. I love the stuff. Alas, I have the tube stuff I can put on just mine.

[@lisapop5219]

Oh man, I hate when real life interferes with dinner!

[@SarahCampeau]

Omg 2$ for cheddar? Not possible in my neck of the woods, 7$ cnd. 4 chicken breasts, 19$ cnd. 2 peppers, 4$ cnd, Butter 7$ a pound cnd, I can go on

[@MealsWithMaria]

Ug! Sorry to hear that!

[@levellasmith9866]

🥰😃☺

[@rhiahlMT]

The larger size of dairy products isn't always the best choice for me. It will go bad before I use it. I never put parsley in anything. To me it has no taste, so why?
