Holiday Dinners and Reinventing the Wheel I know a lot of you come here to see me get creative with Dollar Tree ingredients, and I love doing that.  But when it comes to holiday meals, I choose tradition more often than not. Because while this may be entertainment for some, for others, this IS their holiday dinner. And that matters more than reinventing the wheel. #dollartreedinners #budgetmeals #easterdinner #dollartreefinds #affordablemeals #tradition #dinneronabudget #dollartreeeaster #budgetfriendly #comfortfood

Day 4 (and 5!) of attempting to stretch $100 to feed myself for a month #dollartreedinners #whatieatinaday #everythingicooked #budgetmeals #budgetgroceryweek #howtoeatforcheap #extremebudgetmeals

I used to work at Taco Bell, so I'm showing you how to make your favorites at home. Today, we are making the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito. It's not cheaper to make *just one*, but if this is your regular order, learning to DIY it can seriously save you over time.   You will need: 1 burrito-sized flour tortilla 1 taco-sized flour tortilla Nacho Cheese - Either Fritos Jalapeno Cheddar or Dollar Tree Jalapeno Cheddar (they are nearly identical) Refried beans (see my earlier Enchirito video) Taco seasoned ground beef (see my earlier Enchirito video) Sour cream Shredded cheddar cheese Warm your burrito-sized tortilla, then spread nacho cheese in the center.  Place the smaller tortilla on top and give it a twist to evenly distribute the cheese. Add refried beans, seasoned beef, sour cream, and shredded cheddar. Roll it up and enjoy! #tacobelldupe #beefy5layer #budgeteats #copycatrecipe #cheapmeals #tacobellathome #easydinner #budgetcooking #wevegotfoodathome #fakeoutfriday

Weekend lunch. Tteokbokki. Brûléed sweet potato. Cream cheese and jalapeno rangoons. #letsmakesomelunch #lunch #lunctime #kidslunch #asthetic #food #cooking #letsmakesomelunchformykids

I found this "Ham & Egg Pie" in Grandma's Wartime Kitchen and honestly didn't know what to expect.  It sounded unusual, but it ended up being one of the most surprising comfort foods I've tried in a while.  A warm, cheesy, biscuit-topped way to use up Easter leftovers. Salute to the women who kept families fed with creativity and heart through the most challenging times. You will need: 1 C each chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper 1 TB oil or margarine 1/4 C all-purpose flour 2 C milk boiled eggs, sliced cubed ham Bisquick Biscuit mix, prepared according to package directions Shredded cheese for topping Saute your vegetables in oil over medium heat. Once softened, add in flour and stir to combine. Add in your milk and stir until you get a thick white sauce. Place white sauce in the bottom of a buttered baking dish, top with slices of boiled egg and chopped ham, whatever you have leftover from an Easter dinner for instance. Layer on the remaining white sauce, then top with biscuit dough and shredded cheese. Bake at 350ºF (177ºC) for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted. #vintagerecipes #greatdepressionrecipes #wwiirecipes #hamandeggpie #grandmaskitchen #budgetcooking #historicalrecipes #easterleftovers #frugalliving #oldfashionedrecipes
