2 cans of fruit of choice $2.50
1 package of pecan twirls $1.25
2 jugs of juice of choice $2.50
Total cost $20.00
Serving platters optional $6.25
Baking Bacon: Lay bacon on sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towels
Sausage balls: mix biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, and uncooked sausage together, add 1/4 cup of water (a little more or less as needed) and knead together by hand until a solid dough forms. Roll into 20 1 inch balls and bake at 400 degrees on a lined baking sheet for 12 to 15 minutes.
Blueberry lemon waffles: drain and rinse thawed blueberries, toss in a small amount of dry pancake mix. Mix the remaining pancake mix with 2 1/4 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 4 packets of true lemon powder. Stir in blueberries and cook 1/4 cup of mix on a preheated waffle iron until cooked through. Makes 18 waffles. Can be frozen. To keep warm, put waffles on the rack of a 170 to 200 degree oven until all waffles are prepared.
Lemon Cream Cheese glaze: mix 1 cup of cream cheese frosting with 2 packets of true lemon, and 2 tablespoons of water. mix and microwave for 30 seconds and then mix again until combined.
Oven toasted English muffins: separate all English muffins and toast on sheet pan simultaneously. 400 degrees for about 8 minutes should about do it
if desired, pecan twirls can be drizzled with cream cheese glaze to make them more like cinnamon rolls. I would warm up some cream cheese frosting without the lemon powder specifically for these if doing that method. also pecan twirls can be warmed in the oven for 3 minutes or so to give them a more home baked effect.
Canned fruit should be drained prior to serving but be sure to save the fruit syrup for flavoring and sweetening teas, this can also be used as an additional fun beverage for your brunch if you've got some tea already on hand.
I think that about covers it but feel free to let me know if I left anything out! thank you for watching, if you do make the mother's day brunch please let me know how it turns out, I was very proud of this one. - Jak na to + styl

You really push yourself in terms of creativity for these Holiday Meal episodes. 🎉 Amazing to watch!
Thank you! It’s truly my favorite part of dollar tree cooking! ❤️
💯👍❤
You can also put some of the frosting on the pecan rolls to make them more like a cinnamon roll. The sausage balls look so yummy!! Great spread!
Someone didn’t watch the video lol!
Lol. She directly said that in the video.
Someone's a bit RUDE 🤨🤔😳
Wow that’s a lot of food for $20, well done
I know you have 2 step children yourself. Have a Happy Mother’s Day too!
Happy Mother’s Day!
🍊🍍🥥 If you have coconut in the freezer (like I do because we never need a whole bag for one recipe), you can make an easy tropical salad. Mix drained mandarine oranges and diced pineapple. Sprinkle coconut over the top before serving. It’s simple but tasty. Could probably toast the coconut but I don’t.
Sounds like a great idea. thhis brunch would be over the top with that.
Great and easy idea! Thanks. 😊
add marshmallows and cool whip, with sour cream, bet it bang
Another good fruit salad idea. 2-3 cans of fruit (whatever you like). Drain & reserve 1 cup of the juice or syrup from the fruit. Mix liquid with 1 instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir in fruit
I was today years old when I found out about true lemon crystals at Dollar Tree. I like lemon tea and they would work great for putting into my tea! This looks like a simple and delicious brunch that children could do with a little supervision. Thank you !
The best is when dollar tree has clearance on items such as English muffins. Once I got for .25
That’s how I discovered the pecan rolls. I’ve been paying full price ever since 😆
Thank you for showing me that tasty food doesn't have to be complicated! I'll be trying those waffles for sure!
Frozen blueberries and crystallized lemon also make a great compote. Just add a little sugar and cook on the stove until syrupy. It could work as an alternative topping for the waffles or spread on the English muffins like a jam
You have such great ideas. That was an impressive spread! Nicely done.
It amazes me how you can come up with these ideas. I go looking through the stores and buy the regular meat potatoes and veggies...because that's what my husband likes. I love how you can come up with so many ideas, it's incredible !
I found your channel about a week ago and I love your videos! My mom used to make sausage balls every Christmas Eve for our open house party. If there were any left we would eat them cold on Christmas morning. They were so good dunked in mustard! I just started making them for my kids. I make them much smaller than you because they puff up. Lol, we use them as a little snack. One of the best. Thanks for sharing all your awesome ideas!
Good work. Nice variety too. FYI, if no syrup is available a butter sauce can be made by bringing sugar & water to the boil, add butter, cornstarch slurry and vanilla, add a wee pinch of salt if using unsalted butter. Serve over pancakes, crepes, etc. (it's also tasty over vanilla cake instead of frosting).
I've also made this with water in which sliced apples (with sugar and cinnamon) have been parboiled till soft. It makes a buttery apple cinnamon sauce; serve sauce alone or together with the apples over pancakes, etc.. Looking forward to next week's video! 💖 🙏👑✝
My son loves the pecan swirls! I’ll put some margarine or butter on them and heat them on microwave for about 20 seconds
Love ❤️ this idea 💡. I appreciate 🙏 that you make these recipes/concepts budget friendly as we all know food can be quite expensive. 😊❤
It all looks so good! I’m going to try the sausage balls for sure and I was thinking the glaze without the lemon would be great on the pecan rolls. Looks like I’m going to Dollar Tree this evening. Thanks for the great ideas.
I love those pecan rolls, such an easy and pretty breakfast treat
You did great for $20, I’d be happy to be invited to that presentation.
Thanks for demonstrating the little Dash waffle maker works, I’ve been considering their stuff as gifts.
If anyone wants brunch mimosas, you can get a decent cava (Spanish champagne) for $12 or make virgins with 7up/Sprite/Squirt.
It’s great! I’ve had it for 10 years and it still holds strong. I love making and freezing my own “eggos” with it, which is what happened to the lemon blueberry waffles in this video 🥰
@@DollarTreeDinners Excellent info, thank you.
Happy Mother's Day all 💐
Thanks for the tip on the blueberries! I did not know that.
It works! I don’t understand how it works but if does haha
Why do I love Rebecca so much. It’s her voice :)
In 2019 I was eating Tomahawks for dinner. Now I'm eating canned beans for dinner.
I cook bacon in the oven too and my hotdogs
Hot dogs in the oven are amazing! You can broil them to get a little char even
Forgot to wish youa very happy Mother's day!! 😊❤
My mother in law makes the sausage balls for thanksgiving using bisquick and they are so good !
Lemon and blueberry are one of my favorite combinations! Nice idea to make the muffins as well as the waffles. I’m definitely trying the garlic cheese mix for sausage balls. Thank you for your hard work bringing us these easily accessible meals and treats.
I LOVE sausage balls and never thought to use anything but regular bisquick. Cheddar garlic sausage balls = YES PLEASE! And I definitely want to try those waffles!
That IS and amazing spread for $20!!!!! Looks very yummy!
Your so adorable and you have such an incredible energy/aura about you. Love your videos.
I just love how creative you are in these videos, and this is one of my favorites! I especially can't wait to make the sausage balls. I am so grateful for you and your channel!
You had me at the refried bean scoop from Tbell 🤣💕
Love it!! I will try to try this!!
This looks so amazing and can help so many to make that day special with not a lot to spend.
Love your channel, I’m a senior living in California. Your recipes are amazing unfortunately the Dollar Tree prices are quite higher.
You have such great ideas!! I’m seriously going to try this for brunch real soon! I love your channel, and all the cool ideas and instructions you give us. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
That’s So much food! This might be my favorite holiday video you’ve made! The sausage balls are going on my menu this weekend for sure!
Thank you! I think this may be one of my favorite holiday menus as well 🥰
@@DollarTreeDinners Ya know, you were wondering if anyone recreates your menu. I think I'm going to re-watch it and try to recreate. The only thing I would change is that I will add eggs that I already have. My fam would think I'd lost my mind if I don't make eggs! The blueberry/lemon pancakes sounds so amazing. Thanks for the inspiration
Your voice is so calming and you are pleasant to watch? I can't eat all of what you make due to the heavy focus on carbs and lack of produce. However, you inspired me to start using gravy-like sauces on veggies and all kinds of foods! Yum!!
That DT sausage is wonderful!
Rebecca did you know that your oven while it's running and the drawer underneath that you usually keep pots and pans in is actually a warming oven that's what it was originally made for but today we use it for storage it's actually a warming draw so you could put your waffles on a tray in there.
Fun fact when I was 1st married I had a wall oven that had the draw also (50+ yrrs ago.)😊 love your show.
My oven isn’t made like that, newer ovens don’t have that feature, that was more for older ovens. My drawer stays cold even when the oven is on
What a beautiful job you did! So creative! The sausage biscuits look really good! I’ve never had them. I’ll have to give them a try! ❤
I haven’t tried this with sunny-d but I had a punch at a ladies brunch once. It was orange juice and some kind of soda like 7up or ginger ale. It seemed a little more special than just orange juice. 😁
in the 60's aandd 70's every brunch had a punch. froze a bowl of juice with fruit in it and poured juice and some soda like 7-up over it and the ladies always acted like they never had anything as lovely.
I love your creativity! These are great ideas.
Right next to the Sunny D is this Tampico Zero sugar competitor, and I found myself loving it! I don’t typically buy orange juice bc of the sugar content so when I see it, I buy one as a treat.
I didn't know that about coating the blueberries! Thanks for all your cooking tips!
I love how you try to change up and experiment.
I try to always change it up, give people ideas ;)
These are just stupid fabulous ideas. I love your content so much.
Amazing!
Ahh I love these ideas for my Mother’s Day brunch this year thank you 😍💖
Use some of the juice from fruit for the icing..added flavor!!!❤
It's syrup, not juice. Juice would be good but the syrup would probably be really sweet.
Great ideas! Really appreciate all the thought you put into your videos!
You can also put the cooked waffles in the warming drawer under the oven....
This meal for Mother's Day is so fun and festive! The food looked so delicious! I adore sausage balls!
A true VA girl knows Sausage balls!!!
For the cinnamon rolls, you could warm up the rest of the cream cheese frosting and drizzle it over the cinnamon rolls. 🙂🙂
I do not eat pork anymore but I grew up on Farmer John products. They are the best!!!
That's a lot of food! Nice job! I love your holiday/special day episodes! It's great to see how creative you get with what you can find at DT or even on tight budget at Walmart!
Those lil cinnamon rolls are so good!
I’m going to make this for myself for Mother’s Day this year 😋
Omg that's such a good idea to save the fruit syrup to put in tea! 😮 I'm definitely going to try that
Thank You so much for the Mothers Day Brunch Recipes! I always enjoy all of you recipes! Thank You!
Blessings always ☝🏼💯🙏
I love your experiental creative ideas. It's so fun to watch ☺️
You did a great job!! Blessings!!
Yummy!!!! So much food. That would be the price of one meal if you went out.
This is awesome! Love it.
I love your creativity with the food items....
Another cheap cake with only 2-3 items:
Oil
1 package (16.5 oz or 432 g)cake mix - I like devils food or spice
1 can (15 oz) pie filling - I like cherry pie or solid pumpkin
But make your own combination
Optional toppings: cream cheese frosting, microwave melted can frosting(like she did), powdered sugar, ground cinnamon or caramel sauce, or your own topping creation - I happen to like them without a topping due to how sweet they turn out to me
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and oil to your pan so the cake does not stick
Combine the cake mix and pie filling(the mixture will be thick) Pour the batter evenly into the pan. I like my bundt pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean(everyone's oven may cook differently)
Remove the pan from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pan and serve. If using topping, allow the cakes to cool before adding the topping. With my bundt pan, I like to put the frosting in the middle for everyone to frost as they please.
I LOVE this video! Can't wait to try some of these ideas for make-ahead one person meals. I truly appreciate you using the bacon! I've often wondered if it was worth buying. Now I can't wait to go shopping at Dollar Tree❣️❣️ 😊
I love the enthusiasm for what you're doing that comes across in your videos.
That was great! The $ Tree stores in my area don't carry the items you were able to buy! Enjoyed the video!
I just found your videos and I love the dollar tree meals. I am a senior on a fixed income and need inexpensive meals that don't make too much. Thank You so much! ❤
This is your best one yet!!!!❤❤😊 I greatly appreciate you putting the list here too. Totally helps so I can get my brain in gear once at the store. I didn't even think about the true lemon 🍋💛
This is amazing! So we'll done! I love the idea of using the drink mix to flavor food items - great idea! 🥰
I enjoy your content. You have such a sweet spirit.
I bought that same silver rectangle platter a few weeks back. I make jewelry and I thought this tray would be a perfect backdrop to lay my pieces on when I am doing my videos.
I have mine in the bathroom, holding my hair stuff, lol. It's a lot nicer than just having all the sprays and assorted potions just laying all over the counter 😂
This brunch is a fantastic way to celebrate without breaking the bank.
It is wonderful what u do ❤
That spread looks absolutely beautiful for mother's day ❤️ 😊
Have a good one 👍
You're always so creative with your ideas, flavors, and presentations. Thank you for such delicious meal plans 😋👍
I didn't know it was easy to make sausage balls so thanks
I don’t know how you do it. You take basically the same ingredients and turn it into something different with every celebration. 🎉🎉
A lot of creative thinking and a very supportive and fun audience 🥰
these videos are so sweet and wholesome like you can feel the pure intentions when making videos like this thank you for this
Your ideas are just amazing! Thank you for all that you do. I can't wait to try a couple of these!
Everything looks so great love DT recipes!
Simply awesome again !!
another great video
this was so cool, pretty and excellent use of DT ingredients for cheap!!!! GREAT JOB!!! suggestion you could aslo use the lemon drink mixes instead of the lemon sugar but that would be better. :)
Looks so good!
Awesome, awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing! 😊
I love this, it came out great!!! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Great ideals for a brunch!
I love how creative you are with DT ingredients 🙂 I’m definitely trying the waffles, they look delicious!
Thank you so much for the Mother's day spread!!! The food looked so delicious & you did such a creative spread!! Very impressed!! You always do such a great job!!! 😊❤
That's an amazing spread!! You really do inspire me. Definitely going to try the sausage balls! Thank you!!
Everything looks delicious!
Looks delicious! ❤️ Love your videos.
Yum, these look so good.
I love butter, too...but we do the original country crock a lot because of dairy allergies and it is dairy-free (and not $7 a container which a lot of the other fancier dairy-free butter alternatives are).
I never really thought about how margarine was dairy free until someone brought it up recently, a very interesting perception on an otherwise frowned upon product
I love your sweater!
Wow this was brilliant!!!
I truly love your videos ❤ you really help us see the value in the Dollar Tree. Such creative ideas! Ice never heard of sausage balls, but they look so simple and tasty! I will be making them and the blueberry lemon waffles. That is one of my favorite flavor combinations 🫐🍋. Thank you for sharing.
It IS amazing what you can do with this ingredients! I love your videos. You are a good cook!
