Laura, put the avocado seed pressed down into the mashed avocado. Then refrigerate. The seed keeps the cut or mashed avocado from turning brown.
@@loriburgess1866 ooooh! Great tip! Thank you so much!
I don't know where you live, but here in Canafa triple each price for each item. The struggle is real. Good information. Nice video. 😊
Oh my goodness 😰 That’s wild! And thank you very much ☺️
which part of Canada? Some part of canada has walmart and I shopped early on Weekend and there is food on sale. I buy enough to cook within or less than a week. Food can be stale quickly but they are still fresh.
You need to watch Adventures in grocery land. She’s in Nova Scotia and eating pretty amazing for $23/week Canadian!
@@karenm7433 I second adventures in grocery land. Not all of Melanie’s tips work everywhere. Fast Fuel isn’t available here in the Fraser Valley and rain check policies vary but her general ideas can get you thinking creatively and shopping the sales to build a pantry.
Yes, this is true, groceries are insanly expensive in Canada! We have friends in BC. We live in Germany, the inflation is insane. We have a 10.000$ grocery bill in a year! We are family of 3 😅.
Years ago I saw a chef on the Food Network crush a vitamin C tablet and add it to his guacamole and to the pesto sauce he made. He said it would keep the avocado (and basil in the pesto) bright green. I tried it and it worked! Perfectly, and you can’t taste it.
Wow! That’s so interesting! 😯
“The first [tortilla] will be rustic” 😂😂😂what a great way to say ugly!
Haha!! Yes 😂😂😂
Oh i love that spin on the bagel ❤ I've been making quick breads and biscuits for the last couple of weeks instead of buying bread. Simple, fresh, and easy. Love your channel 🎉
I absolutely LOVE that! I need to make more quick breads. There’s nothing better than fresh homemade bread 😋 and thank you so much! I’m so glad to hear that!
Good ideas! Save even more, wash and reuse the aluminum foil. Save energy, bring pasta water to boil, put in pasta, cover and remove pot from heat. Pasta will cook without being boiled continuously. I enjoy your frugalness!
I just LOVE those tips! Thank you so much for sharing!
If you keep the avacado seed with the avacado, it won't turn brown. ❤ just throw it in there, and wah lah😊
Fabulous! Thank you for the tip! ☺️
Hint with avocado. Put the seed in your mix you make with it. It won't brown!
Oh wow! I’ll have to try that! Thank you for the tip!
So many great, easy ideas here!! Love the idea of making high-protein cottage cheese / yogurt-based bagels! LOVE that you did the TikTok fold-over sandwich - I have to try that tomorrow ! How did you know I have Sprouts clearance tofu that needs to be used?! I've never ever seen anyone do tofu enchiladas/Mexican-slant with tofu - LOVE it! I feel downright inspired after watching this video, thanks!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh my goodness, thank you so much ☺️ I truly appreciate that!! Those fold-overs are SO fun and they were surprisingly delicious. I hope you love the enchilada casserole!! I highly recommend having them with the black beans cooked with onions and cumin. SO good!! 😋
Delicious budget friendly ideas. I want to try them all. Egg prices are horrible, but the last time I was at Aldi, the brown eggs were a dollar less than the regular eggs, so I bought those instead. Unrelated, but I was wondering where you found your meal planning book. I could use one of those.
Thank you so much! I found the same with our brown eggs at our ALDI! So interesting! I have the meal planner linked in the description, in my LinkTree, and in my Amazon storefront ☺️ I designed it myself!
Good video! Another easy idea is to use a tortilla shell, pizza sauce, pepperoni and cheese then microwave it.
Yum!! That sounds so easy and so delicious!! Thank you for sharing the recipe 😄
They bake nicely, too. You can also make a pizza "burrito" and microwave, grill or bake.
I live in Canada and am amazed at your grocery prices!! The prices here are 2-4x higher than what you are paying. It's really heartbreaking!
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that 😥
@@LauraLegge sadly, a lot of people here cannot afford to pay their bills and buy groceries. I live in a small town and the food bank is now used 400x more than before Covid.
The grocery prices blow my mind as well. We would be paying 4x for the same shop in Australia
Haha, I love your tiny rolling pin!!!!
Haha thank you so much 😂 I think it came with a kids baking set. I have no idea why I grabbed it lol
I swear in every one of your videos I make a face like "what is she doing?" and then it ends up looking really good. I've eaten tofu a lot of ways but I've never seen that browning method before. at the end it looked really good, I for sure have to try the tofu enchilada bake out. Thank you!
Haha! 😂 That’s so funny! I hope you love the enchiladas!
Those cottage cheese bagels look gorgeous ❤ great job Laura!
Thank you so much! They’re my new favorite bagels! So delicious 😋
Some oven-ready lasagna noodles are par-cooked, but some are just thinner than regular noodles.
That makes sense! These ones honestly seemed like regular noodles to me! 😅 I couldn’t tell the difference at all
I love this meal plan! That lasagna soup is a great way to use up all the broken lasagna noodles that tend to be left in the box. ❤️
Thank you so much! I agree! The first time I made lasagna soup, it was out of necessity to get rid of broken noodles and a little bit of this and that I had in the fridge and pantry. It turned out so good that it’s now a favorite meal in our home 😋 I hope you love it too!
Just discovered your channel today and I must say that you have great ideas!! I've been wanting to save money on my food budget and your channel may just help me out. Be blessed😌😌
Thank you so much!! I hope you love all the recipes and tips ☺️
Loved the video ! Thank you ! I am gonna try the Enchilada with Tofu ! Looks so good !
Thank you so much! I hope you love the Enchiladas! ☺️
@@LauraLegge you’re welcome ! And thank you… I will let you know
@@robinlove6792 thank you!
always great ideas, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! I appreciate that ☺️ I hope you LOVE the recipes!
Very delicious week I have a wonderful tortilla press that my husband got me probably 30 years ago not only does it press them it Cooks them and I always had spinach to my lasagna roll-ups whether it's frozen or fresh
Yes!! I LOVE that!! Adding spinach to the lasagna roll-ups is an excellent idea! I love making stuffed shells like that too 😋 Spinach is just so good in something like that
@@LauraLegge 😊
These vids are so helpful!
I’m so glad to hear that! ☺️ Thank you so much for letting me know.
Wow Laura!! That bagel recipe!! I made it and it looks like yours 👏. So easy and delicious!! Can't wait to try these others. I love your channel and your honest approach 😊.
Yay!! I’m so glad to hear that! And thank you so much for your kind words ☺️ I hope you love the other recipes too!
Yum, the tofu casserole looks amazing. Thanks for the recipies.
Thank you! I hope you love it 😊
Some great recipes. When I make lasagne I make and use tortillas for lasagne sheets it’s so much nicer and cheaper and you can shape to fit the pan your using ❤
I absolutely LOVE that!! I’ll be trying that soon. Thank you for sharing that!
Love the breakfast idea and the roll ups!
Thank you so much! ☺️
Enjoyed your video so I joined😊. The flip breakfast tortilla with half a bagel is first to try. Quick dinner! Thanks.
Yay! I hope you love the recipes! ☺️
Love the intro 😘
Thank you 🥰
I always appreciate your videos.
Thank you! ☺️
Nice meals, thanks for the recipes 🙂
Thank you and you’re welcome! ☺️
Wow eggs Southern California 1.50
Wow! What store? I’m in Southern California too!
Meat is better in lasagna. I cannot wheat ir flour noodles so I use thin chicken breast as noodles. You can also use hearts of palm noodles and make stir frys using coconut aminos
Thank you for the tips! 🤩
Wow! Cottage cheese bagel, very creative! I think I’m going to look up your yogurt bagels because I bought yogurt to try your overnight oats. ❤ from Iowa
I hope you love them! ☺️ They’re one of my favorite easy recipes to throw together!
Great video! I’m so glad I found you! I apparently make cooking more difficult than it has to be!🤣 great ideas!
Thank you so much! I totally understand haha. I do the same a lot of the time 😂
Yum!
Thank you!!
I love this. Thank you! 😊

Will you do Gluten-free meals?
@@amyviera4862 yes! I just posted a gluten free meal plan 😄
I wish your recipes were in the comments of the video. 😊
Sorry about that! They’re all on my blog and they’re printable too!
I love lasagna roll ups!!
Yes!! They’re so good!
VERY NICE INDEED! JOB WELL DONE..
Thank you so much for saying that! I appreciate it very much ☺️
Laura they don't carry enchilada sauce at my aldi's for some odd reason!! They carry all kind of Mexican food items just not enchilada sauce!! I find that so strange!!
Wow! That does seem so odd! I wonder why!
how long does it take you to go out and shop your grocery? thank you !
Usually about 20-30 minutes
@@LauraLegge oh right! it takes me 10 mins to get to the grocery store and then 10 mins to come back… 20-25 min to shop… i was wondering if i had a good average 🤣
@@rosythivierge752 haha yes! That sounds about right to me! 😄 it definitely takes me longer if I bring someone with me haha
recipe for the tortilla please
Please give details on the mat you use under your dough!
I have it linked in the description for you! I got this blue one at ALDI but it’s exactly the same as the ones on Amazon ☺️
I’m pretty sure it’s a reusable silicone baking mat
Ugh ..that's alot for eggs ....ours are 2.64 at Walmart in Michigan .
But I'm sure they'll raise the price.
I’m hoping the prices will come down soon 😰
Same but I'm doubtful
@@MELINDASSIMPLEBLESSINGS same 😥
Is enchilada sauce also known as salsa
Sort of! It’s a blend of chilies and tomato sauce that has lots of spices and sometimes flour to thicken it. I would say it’s a spicy roasted tomato sauce.

Thank you so much ☺️ welcome to my channel! I hope you find some inspiration!
how much cottage cheese??
I have all the recipes in my blog post for you ☺️ I used 3 cups for this week and then had 1 cup leftover
My store has Eggland's Best for $2.50 a dozen this week.
Oh wow!
❤
😄
Aldi’s has gotten very expensive, on par almost with walmart. My local supermarket in NJ has been cheaper if you shop their sales.
Oh wow! My ALDI is the cheapest store near me. It seems like it definitely depends on the location 🤔
@@LauraLegge yes I guess so
I didn't understand why Richarda was suddenly being talked about, but it was ricotta 😆
Haha!!
That's what happens when you don't fully understand the language 😆
@@maidsua4208 haha no worries 😄
Thanks !!! Your poor man 💍 haha 😅😂
Haha you’re welcome!
Adult-size rolling pin 😂
Haha 😂
Why are you wearing wedding rings when kneading dough?
Because soap exists. Move on with your miserable self.
$4 per day.?! Get a load of Mi$$ Money 💰 Bags. Bragging about having $4 to spend just on food, WOW 😳. I know you are just making a point and I'm being sarcastic. Reality is for some people that's a part of life. I've been there. ✝️
