It's so terrible just how high food prices have risen. The one thing we all need to do to survive - eat. I think we'll be very full and happy with your budget recipes. They do not look cheap. Blessings to you Julia and your family!

Just in case anyone doesn't have the seasonings, a pack of taco seasoning is only $0.44 at my Walmart, so you'd still be in the $5 range for the pasta and the soup :)

First time watching as I'm disabled and have problems standing to make a large meal. These are quick, easy and light on the pocket book. The thing I really love that I haven't seen on other channels is you have the recipes posted so I don't have to be writing like a fiend trying to get all the recipes down. I live alone and can stretch these meals even further. When I do cook I make a big pot and freeze. Than you so much. Cheers from 🇨🇦. I've like and subscribe and look forward to more dishes

I got so excited about the ziti recipe because I’ve been making that exact recipe for almost two years! I’m the only one who eats it and it lasts me for three days (lunch and dinner). It’s so so good

[@katherinepereira9088]

When we were young, we would take a package of Kraft Dinner, add a can of tuna (drained and flaked) and a cup of peas. It would make a nice dish. You could always put it in a casserole, add some breadcrumbs and/or cheese on the top and then bake in the oven until golden.
