I love budget meals. Thanks for some new ideas.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Glad you like them!

[@karenvigmostad4013]

I’ve had my mattress for 24 years. Not kidding. By coincidence today I bought a new organic inner spring with firmer edge because in bed an hour or more every morning. No gel because I find gel hot and uncomfortable. This one felt just right the moment I got on it. It’s going to be delivered tomorrow. I bought from a local mattress shop. Note that I was inspired to get a new mattress because I have a pinched nerve in my back, and I have been in a lot of pain and unable to sleep. This won’t cure it, I’ll be in physical therapy for that and other activities, but will make it more comfortable for me to sleep. Thanks for these recipes!

[@madelinechriston8970]

Thanks Jen! This was really fun to watch and informative, too! Wow, sometimes 1 night can cost me over $25, so a whole week was very impressive. You're wickedly good!❤️

[@sarahmeyer4128]

Thanks for doing a potato soup recipe. I've been craving it. The foccacia bread looks amazing. Pretty easy recipe. I love the sandwich plate and soup bowl.

[@cd20052007]

Jen, your bedroom decor is beautiful. We got Helix mattresses for both our boys and they truly love them. Thank you for the great recipes, new ideas makes for stress free dinners after a long day of teaching. Best, Margaret

[@koffeekat8106]

ok... ok... ok... I love the idea of ALL of these meals... (the only thing my family will probably skip out on is the deviled eggs... they aren't fans... but maybe i can make these just for me.... hmmm....) i've printed out the guide... We're going to do this list next week! I cannot wait!!

[@stillsimplystephanie]

Love those soup and sandwich plates! That focaccia and soup looks so good, I don’t know why I thought focaccia was harder to make, I may have to try it now that I see how easy it is.

[@thebiziprofessional]

So true and same here, Soup & Sandwich if my fave!

[@sandrahall5734]

[@GinaKayLandis]

Great video with tasty goods as usual! Just ordered your cookbook, too! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@gemykat8120]

Great ideas ! Been doing a lot of sharing ingredients, and foods that are on sale,and in season, it helps save money. Wonderful video!

[@sherrylg2006]

I have never been able to make fried potatoes correctly. They are always too done on the outside but still hard on the inside. Thank you for this!

[@gramcracker1616]

I really like your cookbook. Highly recommend!! 👌👌

[@hannahkayee831]

How you'd run water for your kids is accurate because I like my water burning hot lol. I've made the focaccia out of your cook book many times. Super easy.

[@karenohlson5509]

You found your video clips. Great video. Thanks

[@robinjones2415]

❤ Love this video it gave me some great ideas definitely going to make the potato soup and quesadillas with the fried Potatoes

[@makenzieferguson1828]

You always make the best videos. 👏

[@Jen-Chapin]

I appreciate that!

[@bethh7617]

Another tip for thickening the potato soup would be to use an immersion blender, just a couple of quick pulses. Great video Jen! Btw can't wait for your Thanksgiving video 😁

[@AD-rp8xw]

Very handy! Thank you for putting this together!

[@patriciakuronya9862]

Thanks for the recipes. I love adding old bay seasoning to my deviled eggs, just another option.

[@mom2nan552]

I cook my potatoes without pre cooking what I do I put a lid on the pan checking and stirring this creates a lot of moisture and helps the potatoes all the way through without burning them my grandmother's cooked fried potatoes like this I don't know how to cook them without sweating but it doesn't how there cooked their always good

[@Jen-Chapin]

Great tip!!

[@Texasmommaof5]

I’m going to try the potato soup recipe tonight. I’ve got almost everything for this whole plan and it all looks delicious

[@danamama6766]

I never thought to mix the butter into the potatoes I usually put pats but I am going to try that! Potato soup look so yum I love it. Oh that Spanish rice yummmm. Well everything looks amazing really. hugs

[@sherrydaugherty6144]

Jen and family have a great day have fun thanks from Oklahoma

[@naughtyplebita]

Thank you so much. Video came in perfect time. 🙂 I'm on a very tight budget and food is so overpriced at the moment. So this helps a lot. Thank you again Jen.

[@stephaniebriggs9346]

Great video!! Love all the recipes and tips! Please do another one like this. I like how its extreme but not so extreme I would never do....if that makes any sense!?

[@barbiedoll6530]

Cracking me up..."it won't win a beauty contest" .....Murphy is in the background saying ..."hey Milo bring back some for me whatever you get"...counter surf noses are the best!!! I'm totally making all of these!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gemykat8120]

I always looking to make potatoes brown and crisp,love your way,also you can cut potatoes heat the pan med,high put oil in then some butter and potatoes, put a lid on ,lower the heat some , then cook until golden brown, turn cook until done, the butter makes the difference. Yummy

[@Elizabeth-rh1hl]

Great recipes. I’m not able to eat most carbs due to type 2 diabetes but these recipes look delicious and frugal.

[@sonobiasmith8299]

Great recipes Jen.

[@cilla3636]

Awesome video love your channel

[@goodnightbeautiful]

I'm making the posole you shared in the last video for dinner on Saturday 😋

[@misskitten77]

I always enjoy your videos! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs disease and gluten free food is so expensive. Maybe you could do a budget friendly video for various diets?

[@Jen-Chapin]

That’s a good idea!

[@maeganblanchard8542]

Hi Jen, have you ever made the home fries with sweet potatoes? I have a lot of them and I'm trying to think of ways to use them. Thanks!

[@sheenabobo5400]

Great video!!

[@brittanytrejo2806]

I'm currently laying on my Helix mattress. Procrastinating on homework.

[@fernandamadi]

I love all your videos, but this is one of the best ones. I just want to do all these delicious recipes! Thank you so much for making these videos for us!

[@marynapoleone4748]

If you ever save the taco sauce packets from a fast food place that would be a great addition to those bean burritos at no extra cost

[@meandFrodo]

I bought a similar mattress in a box here in Australia a few years back. Really check the warranty fine print. My partner sweats and we didn't use a mattress protector, and so now the glue has separated and we aren't covered under warranty. Their reasoning was no attempt made to preserve the mattress.

[@kristenevans4557]

Hey, if you have picky kids (like I did) cut your baby carrots long wise into slivers and they’ll think it’s cheese. 🙃 My Mom was amazing on her single-Mom budget. She made something she called Spanish rice and it had rice, some tomato paste, spices and ground meat. It really stretched a pound (or less) of meat. It was a one-pot-wonder. I make it now and the Rotel is what I use to get some kick but I’ve also used a few T of salsa as well.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Haha good tip on the carrots! 😝

[@kristenevans4557]

@@Jen-Chapin My son would ask, “What’s this?” I would say; What does it look like? He would say “Cheese!” And I would just say- You’re so smart. 😉 LoL I prided myself on not lying. Hahaha

[@thebiziprofessional]

lol, "they'll think it's cheese". That's smart. good tips. Thanks.

[@beckyhallam8374]

Those are great meals 😊

[@treenaakers9429]

We need a new mattress. Need to check that out. Did you get a foundation also?

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes we did, super easy to put it all together!

[@dorindamiddleton5418]

Hey Jen, I just found out that baby carrots are peeled with formaldehyde! Yikes! I won’t be buying these for the grandkids anymore. Even the organic ones. How can this be? Industry secrets be darned! I have a peeler and I know how to use it. 😂 I’ve checked several sources too. A friend in culinary school told me about it, but I couldn’t believe it, so I checked it out. Great video by the way.

[@diversekakes]

I liked this one and that some of the meals were meatless.

[@leighdegenhardt485]

Yumyumyum)!!!

[@kimclaborn5576]

I love these ideas. I just wish my kids would eat beans. Vegetables are not a hit at my house. Potatoes, meat and cheese is about all they will eat. 🙃

[@kellybick6472]

Sorry, Jen but I used to love watching your videos but just about every video has a sponsor that has NOTHING to do with the video! 😒

[@Jen-Chapin]

I spend a lot of time on my channel and it’s a way for me to get fairly compensated, if I didn’t take sponsors I would make about $6 an hour on KZbin and I’m not ok with that :(

[@tarigeorge6122]

I like hearing about new products, even if I don’t need them. I’m glad you can make money so that I can watch you free of charge.

[@elissaclark1975]

All look amazing .me l ove to cook and bake here. I showed my husband the potatoe soup and he said yes plz. Loving all the videos this week. Hugs friend Elissa modesto cali @elissa_tc
