Have you ever baked cornbread in a waffle iron? It makes it crusty all over and great with soup or beans.

You can do a zero spend month with that pantry! You’re so resourceful, clever and loving ❤️ a triple threat! ☺️

[@debimorsette1685]

I think I would have made a cream gravy with the deer tenderloin and onions and ladled it over the potatoes. I was pleased with myself in that I didn’t need to buy any groceries for our Thanksgiving meal. We decided to roast a chicken rather than a turkey. I did splurge and bought two frozen pies, Marie Callander’s, for $3.99 each, two weeks ago. Less baking and cleanup for me. Wishing you and your great family a very Happy Thanksgiving, as you continue to teach your boys the joy of helping others. 💋💋. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

The one son said "Bussin" 😂 it must be good 👍🏻 Edit: Also, I love your channel. I dont have a momma or daddy to show me how to cook. I can follow a recipe but it is hard for me to put stuff together from things that I already have. 😅 You seem like a nice chill realistic lady and a good momma thats all about budget and taste with meals that taste good and that people like!

As always great job and your boys absolutely bring joy into the lives of your subscribers. I noticed the oldest one rustle the youngest ones hair and he obviously loves him.

[@BrowneyedGirlmjd]

I have to share this here... so my SFM family members can have a laugh along with me!! I didn't have a great weekend and knew yesterday I had to cook something, ANYTHING to feed myself this week. Pulled out my standby "lazy cabbage rolls" which I make in roasting pan that I dump everything into raw and it ends up perfect. It's one those recipes I can do with my eyes closed. 😵 And I did! Because I grabbed what I thought was a can of tomato sauce, opened it up, dumped it in and was looking down at a can of DICED tomatoes. I used some colorful language and thought well I have to make this work. It's still tomatoes. It's just not sauce so I tweaked the extra water a bit and threw in some chili sauce to thicken it up a bit. Stuff like this is why I hate to cook! 🤣

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

[@kateholland2773]

Loved this video! I always enjoy the feel of ‘what’s for dinner’ type videos the most - Not super restricted to a specific budget, but shows the type of quick, easy and cheap meals to pull together on a whim.

[@hannakinn]

My mom makes a pork chop casserole, you can also make it with cooked ground pork, turkey or ground beef or whatever you protein you like. In a casserole dish or any oven proof dish, put your cooked meat (we usually cook the meat with diced onions, sometimes defrosted onions and peppers blend), put the cooked protein in the casserole dish add uncooked rinsed white rice ( the amount for the number of servings you want to cook) and the amount of water called for cooking the rice minus 1/4 cup(to account for the juice in the canned tomatoes) add a can of whole, crushed or diced tomatoes, salt and pepper. My mom always adds 2 Bay leaves, and sometimes Italian seasoning. I have added 4 oz of cream cheese before to make it a more creamy casserole. Bake at 375° F until rice is done. You can alter the spices, add rotel and/or green chilies to give it a Mexican vibe, top it with sour creme or guacamole when served. You can add black beans and corn. Whatever you want it to be, use your imagination people, that's what makes cooking fun!

[@may5588]

Your boys are sweet. Very nice boys. Your meals are great and your husband and kids appreciate your cooking. Nice job.

[@SauerPatchGardening]

Sometimes when we cook all day, we do not want what we cooked. I know it makes no sense, but, i do the same thing. Especially on Thanksgiving! Im so tired of the smells..but, you can bet the next day, or later that night, I'm in those left overs. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@blueeyes4233]

[@MeloyKimberly]

Fellow homeschool mama here. Your kids are so kind and respectful. Love it. Keep up the awesome work!

[@valerief1231]

Great video, I bet you could do a whole video on why you should shop your stock pile. I watched a video on Midwest Magic cleaning where he cleaned a hoarder house, it was 2 tiered, the wife was a shopping hoarder, and the husband was a prepper hoarder. Most if the hoard was now expired foods. Where if they would shop each week and rotate the stock there would be very little waste. Oh btw when I say “expired” I mean 10 years past the best by date. Now I eat stuff that’s been as old as 3 years past the Best By date, canned sloppy Joe mix, it was fine, but you could pick up the tin taste. So store your stockpile like Brooke does where you can stack your newest purchases at the back and pull the older things forward.

Hey Brooke, when I freeze my corn from the cob, I lay it out on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and freeze it. I mix it around every 30 minutes or so. Then when frozen, I put it in zippies and freeze it. Then I can pour out as much as I want and not have to cook a whole clump. Love your channel!!

Girl - I made your chicken bacon ranch pockets for dinner tonight and it WAS A HIT!!! I was SO EXCITED to make it - although mine seemed much more difficult than you somehow made it look - and I couldn’t get my pockets all the way sealed - likely because I didn’t have a rolling pin to thin out the pizza crust with - so I ended up with only 3 pretty big pockets, and each one ended up leaking out ranch - and I threw away a good bit of the ranch/chicken/bacon mixture - BUT, it’s a learning curve, am I right?!? LOL! It was DEFINITELY a huge hit and my husband LOVED it! He’s gonna buy me a rolling pin for Xmas. LOL! Thank you!!! Much love from GA!! 💜

There's a funny song called the turdy point buck, it's perfect for the hunters in our life this time of the year. You should play it for your boys. You can make soup from corn cobs and the corn makes it thick. Soak your raw cobs, after you cut the corn off it, in cold water overnight. Stir when ever you think of it. Maybe once an hour.for 3 hours Take them out let water settle , pour off the clear water, let settle, do this until most of the clear water is gone let the white stuff dry. Scrape out the dry white stuff bust it up until it's a powder. You just made corn starch. To dry it faster you can freeze dry it.

Hey Brooke! As a new fan and having binged on your videos, I really started to hear you about having a well-stocked pantry, I finally started doing it. As I live on a fixed income and get paid monthly, I budgeted for my pantry starting this month. I already had some stuff that I bought over the last few months, I realized I had a good head start. Today, I got my Adobo and liquid smoke. I’m really feeling good about this. Also, my freezer is stocked with chicken, vegetables, and other red meats. I am saving for a deep freezer and really get stocked up. Thanks so much!!

[@janetgoodworth]

Brooke, venison or as you call it deer doesn't need to be hit with lots of different spices,just salt+pepper is enough,there's a saying 'less is more', venison is a beautiful game meat and needs to be treated with care,it's not like ground beef or turkey that really has little flavour so adding a variety of spices adds depth and flavour, this is not me being negative it's just over here in the UK it's alittle hard to get venison and it's quite expensive plus the taste is outstanding just as it is.
