The employee at Brooke’s Hoagie House needs a raise and employee of the month plaque with recognition! 😂

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I agree! 😂

[@Auroraphox]

yes!!!

Girl do u know how much your loved outside of that family of yours Well you are you know ✨️

[@MKMcDonald287]

I’m hailing from Canada and we eat much of what you cook, even the creative ‘what am I gonna make?’ meal. In the end, we are all one, the same people, in one world just trying to survive. ❤️

[@shannonadams3101]

Brooke, you don't have a lazy bone in your body or a lazy idea in that practical brain of yours. "Lazy" describes the people that eat out every meal and never cook for themselves or their family. These recipes look delicious, Brooke ❤ You're awesome!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thank youuuuu ❤❤❤❤

[@marywalker2896]

I can’t stand to cook like I did when I was younger. I am 72 now and those quick meals look yummy. Gonna give them a try. Thx sweetie. God bless.

[@Myfavorites877]

Brooke please do a video where the boys cook for YOU!!!! ❤

[@sherryhamill2438]

This is my favorite of the series that you do. Not only is it super-expensive to eat out, it also takes time--and sometimes you just want to eat as quickly and with the least amount of effort as possible. It's great to have things like this in your back pocket.

[@shannonschell482]

I love when little bit faints so adorable 😍

[@peggylindenthaler6169]

YOU are da bomb of frugal cooking lady! I give ya two thumbs up! I just enjoy watching your videos. 👍👍❤.

[@shannonhudgins]

We used to do sheet pan nachos. Piled everything on a sheet pan, stuck it in the oven for about 7 minutes and dished it from there, then topped with cheese dip heated in the oven. Probably took 20 minutes total.

[@beckystone7994]

Great meals Brooke👏👏👏!! You know you can make the original Chic-fil-A chicken sandwich very easy slso! Just take chicken breast and soak in dill pickle juice for several hours and air fry it until done , put on a hamburger bun with slices of dill pickle , wrap in Foil or parchment paper for 5 minutes to steam the bun with the hot chicken ! Serve with chips or coke slaw or macaroni or potato salad ! Delicious , I do it all the time ! Love your ideas Brooke you really make great food on a budget ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻

[@cnic7903]

Thank you, do you bread it in anything?

[@wandamontgomery6030]

How do you steam it?

[@beckystone7994]

@@wandamontgomery6030 it steams from the heat from the hot chicken , so you have your buns with pickles ready for when you take the chicken from the air fryer or if you fry it on the stove in a little oil ! Then wrap the sandwich in aluminum foil or in Parchment paper and let sit for 5 minutes and the heat will steam it! It’s delicious !

[@beckystone7994]

@@cnic7903 you can lightly bread it in flour but you don’t have to , I don’t just to save calories but you can !! And if using air fryer remember to spray with oil, but can also be fried in A little oil in a skillet !! Have bun snd pickles ready si when chicken is done out sandwich together and wrap in foil or parchment paper snd let sit 5 minutes and hot chicken will steam your sandwich ! So delicious

[@cnic7903]

@@beckystone7994 thank you very much, I appreciate it!

[@lauricuthbert3049]

Brooke, You have got to be one of the most clever cooks I've ever seen. You never fail to impress me with each video. I love, love, love your channel!! 💝💝💝.

[@nancycarney]

Love these ideas. I hate spending money eating out. One meal out is one week of grocery money. We eat out once a month at this place that has $6.99 special menu on Thursday night. Rotisserie chicken is my "go to" in a hurry meat. Love y'all. Oh my goodness! I would eat that pizza sub all the time. YUMMY!

[@susanelvington6554]

I was doing a pick up order for Walmart and was pretty much ready to checkout. Then I watched a couple of your videos after your Q&A video. I ended up going back into the WM app and changing my entire order based on the meals you made. Thanks!

[@jenl784]

I love the idea of letting them "order" their subs from Brooke's hoagie house. Such a fun supper idea. Thanks for the ideas. Everywhere is so expensive these days , even fast food!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

They did look delicious. What a cute idea.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

They love doing that. They think it’s the best time.

[@theresarogerssimpson1280]

​@@SouthernFrugalMomma Thanks for sharing these❤ you are correct everything is so expensive anymore.

[@theresarogerssimpson1280]

​@@SouthernFrugalMomma I love Brookes Hoagie house it's awesome! ❤️

[@Ana-ui9il]

So true fast food 😮too high and not best quality anymore 😢

[@plantobebooked-Alicia_Allen]

I am going to modify the asian wrap to popcorn chicken wrap! (caesar). I will use frozen popcorn chick, chopped caesar salad. Thanks for the great idea! Was wondering what to do for dinner tonight!! (I try to do low calorie so use the carb balance tortillas). Thanks!!!!

[@kimberlyallen9557]

I make the same kind of nachos, but I use store bought can chicken or home canned. I have a family of 5. Its way to expensive for us to eat out. I love your channel. You have taught me so much on saving money at the store. It's like you say might be a tight budget but it don't taste like it.

[@effielarkin3044]

Well nobody can get ahead these days with these extraordinary prices so it's smart to listen to Brooke..stay home and enjoy these wonderful recipes.

[@aimee2234]

Brooke's Diner was hopping today. Everything looked delicious. Lots of love from Michigan. Be blessed always, Brooke and Co.! xoxo

[@shelzp7272]

@Brooke I used to work for a major food company and one division sells to fast casual restaurants and yep…we can do it at home. At most restaurants, they’re not back there cooking everything from scratch, ingredients arrive precooked and the kitchen assembles the orders. They must cook a few things, but overall it involves food service companies. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@cassyharrison3592]

Not only do I enjoy seeing what delectable morsel you will be concocting, I also look forward to seeing what curtains will be hanging in your window!

[@alannahgray490]

Hello from Australia 👋I just love your ideas to feed your family on a budget and your beautiful smile and friendly attitude is so inspiring as well. Your my new favourite channel. Thanks for being you 😍

[@teresabarrientos7349]

Years ago I was making chile Colorado and when my kids came home from school "It smells so good in here just like Taco Bell" 😂 Ultimate compliment lol!

[@lisatowan4536]

Brooke, the Subway girl, cracked me up! 😆 Oh, and Dusty's sass was on point.

[@runningwildinthecity]

I don’t know what it is, but I find your videos so comfy and relaxing.

[@cathypeterson8465]

Brooke thank you for the way you teach and share about cooking at home please don't stop be you. I have learned so much from you ❤

[@roreyb7]

You really can be inspiring on the meals you cook for your family whether they are home cooked or quick meals.I enjoy everyone of them!!

[@Mamabeargomez]

Being a mother of 2 boys, I can promise you they will say everything you ever cook is good. They know the wanna eat and if they nod and say it's good you'll keep cooking. Lol.

[@charitywestcott322]

One of my efficient go to meals is cooking chicken tenders in the air fryer and chopping em up. I spread a tortilla with spicy mustard, chopped lettuce, cheese and crushed up corn chips. Top with the chicken and wrap up. 😊

[@sunnydaisy5906]

Your boys are going to make some lady a perfect husband. They love food willing to try different things and are so complimentary of whatever is made for them. ❤

[@georgianahall8911]

You guys are awesome,Brooke thank you for all you do & share with us 😊 I binge watch your channel

[@cathetedder4133]

How creative! I wasn't as creative this evening, but I did rework some leftovers instead of running through a drive through. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@shelleylipp5967]

You guy's were crackin me up when everybody was tellin you what they wanted on their sandwiches!! lol..All of them looked delish!! Thanks for the chuckles!! 🙃🤣

[@gloriapeel6887]

All of them are winners ! So easy and saving money makes it better! Love you all! What a great family!

[@deecovington2014]

You guys are so playful with each other. It’s fun to watch! Love the meal ideas.

[@thestillroombotanicals2932]

The sandwich shop reenactment had me smiling 😃 the whole time.

[@SafiaMoffatt]

Hi Brooke :) I feel the same when I go out to eat. It's so expensive just for one meal. Thanks for showing us how to mockup these meals at home. Really appreciate it❤

[@samanthadodd8112]

Love this video. My go to is a bag of slaw mix and smoke sausage. Microwave 4 or 5 mins and it's done.

[@karenhill1431]

Brooke you are amazing. All of your videos are wonderful ❤

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thank you!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@JanAgardy-ow2rh]

I have learned so many easy meals from you, I would never have thought of the asian chicken wraps.. I have orange chicken left in the freezer as I didn't really care for it but in a wrap I will eat it, so nothing gets wasted & it was fast. What a great idea, because I thought the orange chicken was to dry as the entree.

[@slivi2455]

Loved the Sub Bar!!! 😂😂😂 19:55

[@anitamullins9949]

Love these! Thank you and may God bless you and your family!

[@sherrymatthews2486]

I always get excited when I see that you have posted a new video! I already know that it’s going to be good!! Thank you for what you do!! You don’t realize how much you help people!!

[@tinag596]

Love these ideas. Will try all of them. I'm excited about Asian Wraps.

[@relax2dream164]

You are just so dang cute! The enjoyment you get out of feeling your family beams from your face. ❤️🇨🇦

[@amandapittar9398]

I would love to see you teach the boys how to make some of these. They will have to learn how to look after themselves properly ( I know, it nearly broke my mama heart too) , you are the best person to teach them. It’s awful how some young folk can’t even boil water for eggs.

[@angelahaines4040]

Brooke, the next time you want to use those kind of plastic gloves, secure each one at the wrist with a rubber band. Works like a charm to keep them in place, and makes a world of difference! All the food looks amazing, by the way. I'm definitely going to give the Asian wrap a try... I've got a bag of that chicken in my freezer right now!

[@ashleyramirez4819]

We do something similar but I put chicken in the crockpot, you can add your favorite seasoning or a taco seasoning but we add jarred salsa, we put it over nachos or in taquitos. It so good and simple.

[@jamesmetzler2031]

The nachos looked amazing. I've been looking for something to make besides beef nachos and this is it! Thank you Brooke. I also loved the "subway " shop. Do you have a drive thru window? Or better yet, delivery? 😁

[@tiffanysamuelson9262]

This video is beyond amazing!! I’m so glad I found your channel!!

[@pamelaupchurch1174]

Wow! It seems the boys are taller with each video! Loving your channel. Thank you!

[@CindyJScott]

Thank you for these great recipes! Not sure if someone already mentioned this: when you have sauce packets that are frozen (or just cold), you can place them in a mug of hot tap water while your prepping the rest of your meal. Once the chicken pieces are cooked, you can toss with the warmed sauce. 😊

[@lizf4717]

Everything looked delish and coulld we see more videos to save eating out like these thank you.

[@jennifermunn6898]

Wow another great video!!❤ I agree it’s insane to eat out, even McDonald’s now and most time it’s not hot and your missing stuff, cooking at home saves that $$ and it’s better!! The sub part was hilarious with Dusty lol 😂 thanks again! 🎉

[@kkelly4360]

You guys are freaking adorable! I love you and your sweet family!

[@jenpink4298]

This was so cute! Your family is adorable and the food looked really good! You actually saved me from ordering a pizza tonight. I didn’t have any of those things you had, but I did have some tuna and some cheddar cheese and some mini slider buns so I made Tiny tuna melts😂

[@XwynntopiaX]

I watch most of your videos and this was one of my favorites! Great job!

[@westcoastlass]

Your kids are so adorable and animated.

[@GiraffeLaugh]

Y'all are so cute! I love how you did a little hogie restaurant right in your kitchen. I'm gonna make those chicken nachos for my husband and youngest.

[@tonyasalo]

Hi just an idea for the Nachos, get a tub of pulled pork or chicken. Just heat and eat. The tub is right Round 4 to 5 dollars You can heat the tub of meat in microwave then put in on the.chips.

[@Chronicmom68]

I think that's the most I've heard, Dusty talk! This was so entertaining. The Hoagie House was a total blast. And i gotta say I'm crazy about your baby! He reminds me of my little grandson! What a lovely family!!

[@Chelle-kd1po]

Yes, I love to make the chicken stock, too. I make it in the crockpot. Love these meals! We had the General Tso's last night. I prepped ours with steamed rice & oriental vegetables. I will try the wrap next time.

[@kerrycanale9472]

Just found this video and already got my shopping list started.

[@DonnaWhite-fc5mh]

Love your videos! I also love your personality and fun attitude!

[@laurie5098]

I am busting out laughing as you play the Subway employee and the look on your face when your husband asked for the sauce be spread more evenly! Lol!

[@debimorsette1685]

I hope you charge Dusty extra, because he got so much pepperoni on his sandwich. About three times the amount you would get at Subway. 😁😁. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

[@jennie8747]

I loved this!! We make our own Chinese "takeout" all the time!! Also finding inspiration in your budget meals! We live in Canada where the grocery prices are INSANE, but we could easily save money with some of the meals you've made. Definitely earned my sub 🤗❤️

[@glendakessler3140]

Live your down to earth approach to real life! Delish ideas! Keep killing it!

[@kam2162]

Everything looked great Brooke! One of my kids favorite lunches growing up was when they could make their own subs. I'll be making an Asian wrap next week for sure! Thanks Brooke!

[@sadinasarvela4315]

Chicken on waffles with syrup?!?! 😳.... I guess I need to get out more lol. The Asian wrap and nachos were my favorites. They looked really good. Thanks for the video.

[@crystaldill2312]

Great video! I you want the toasted effect on your subs turn on your broiler and toast or a few seconds. It is policy at Subway to cut your footlongs in half. Love to see your family loving your meals!!

[@tfluvssoaps]

I love the dinners inspired by restaurants.

[@deefrye5390]

Loved the chicken warp and the rest of the dinners. I will definitely try them.

I love those salad kits too. Good way to get some veggies.

[@aliciawindisch9497]

Loved ALL of those. My favorite is also oriental chicken wrap.

[@kori8455]

I always say that I don’t make a bad sammich or salad! It’s always a win because I don’t skimp on toppings.

[@blessedbabe8318]

I have used the green s from the salad mix and fried it and used as a side or mixed in meat and peppers for a stir fry

[@shellyturner2766]

Great applications of this concept. We've got a busy week coming up, so our menu plan includes meatball subs, frozen pizza, and (Costco) Angus burgers and fries. My only issue with this episode is that it reminds me we haven't eaten out since January. We might splurge next month!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

It is nice to go out every now and then. 😊
