My daughter asked if you could make a lasagna from dollar tree ingredients. I'd love too see that too. I'd also love too see copy cat recipes from popular restaurants using dollar tree.
Rebecca has made a lasagna with dollar tree ingredients by layering the frozen ravioli with sauce and cheese I tried it and it works ( I would add some vegetables or meat to it. Sausage or hamburger or even canned chicken!
Copycat restaurant idea is good 😃👍👍
The Knorr "Last-Minute Lasagna" recepie can be made with dollar tree ingredients- and she did that in a 'back of the box' recipie series a while back- and that came out super good.
Something I grew up with was taking left over pancakes and we would tear them up into bite size pieces in our bowls and fix pancakes and milk. We also would take and fix crepes and cut them in strips, put in a bowl and pour broth over the strips and have pancake soup. Any kind of bread and milk was a winner for us. My Daddy liked corn bread and buttermilk. I am 63 now. My Mama was born in 1924 and my Daddy was born in 1922. I still fix the foods I grew up with. Folks call that food Depression Era food nowadays. We just call it good eatin!
I remember eating leftover biscuits with warm milk and brown sugar, and leftover cake with warm milk after birthdays and holidays.
My grandma's favorite thing was taking cornbread breaking in bite size pieces in a glass with milk. It is really good. Especially if the coris slightly sweet.
My grandparents did the same with cornbread as does my dad ❤
My dad got me hooked on crackers and milk. His daddy was good w cornbread or crackers,but he enjoyed crackers the best.
Yes we did that too@@kimberliepopovich5960
For anyone else who is diabetic, I make Dalgona coffee with no sugar. The coffee whips beautifully with just water. You can also add sweetener when you are whipping it.
Thank you so much for this comment. I was wondering if the sugar was necessary to get the whipped consistency. I do agree that this is more of an afternoon or dessert coffee. I'm looking forward to trying this.
@@kellyhinson4221 I use it on coffee instead of milk. It's delicious.
I can get flavored sugar free coffee syrup at my local dollar tree. I bet that would be good. I might try that.
I appreciate your ongoing honesty about the effort, the quality, your own likes/dislikes in these. Makes your work very useful and sometimes hilarious.
Can’t wait to watch this evening!
A fun challenge idea, send the family’s “non-cook” into the store with a budget and then have to see how far the “cook” can stretch what they bought.
Sorted (a British channel) does that sometimes, just not with Dollar General type foods (but with stuff that can be found in a regular grocery store).
Or do a pantry and freezer cleanout challenges, like the show Chopped. It might be more fun to have the non-cook pick, or to grab blind from a shelf with all veggies or all proteins etc, or even to have a child grab one of each protein, carb, veggie, and wildcard? We play that game each season to clear things out and try new recipes or combos. Some of our favorites have been BBQ pork topped sweet potatoes, sweet potato falafel, pasticcio, moussaka, chicken thighs over rice with a honey ginger sauce, steak and cheese filled egg rolls, cheeseburger egg rolls.
Maybe put the tiny pancakes on a cookie sheet and bake them. Would be a little easier.
Haha ..I just said that too! ☺️
Maybe next time you can make one large pancake and find a specific small tiny round gutter and cut them out
April 1st is just around the corner. You should do another Dollar Tree Holy Grail short video. But this time, mention dollar tree nonfood items that are considered a must have. I would see it as a clever April Fool video while still providing helpful ideas on what to get beyond the food section at Dollar Tree.
How many people are like " taking off one beater is genius!" & never, ever thought about doing this? 😂 me!!
I am nearly 70 years old, and I have never heard of seaweed sheets! Apparently, I don’t get out much, 🤣! Enjoy your videos, you are very creative!
Seaweed sheets are often used to wrap sushi. They aren't all that easy to find even in a regular grocery store, never mind a dollar store.
Rebecca, I love the fact that not only do you do budget meals, but you take other factors into consideration. There are many youtubers who don't do the content that you do. We recently had our kitchen remodeled, and your videos, such as only using a microwave, came in handy. I also think those types of videos can help college kids who are there own for the first time and don't have a kitchen.
Yay! So excited. Can’t believe I got a shoutout! 😊😊😊
Of course! It was a great idea and I hope I got your name right :)
@@DollarTreeDinners you did!
It was a fantastic video idea!!
I was hoping you would say the pancake cereal wasn't worth the work, now I have to make it😂
For a recipe idea what about 3 ingredient desserts, 4 ingredient dishes or 5 ingredients?
Hmm... maybe the sanity version of pancake cereal would be to make regular-sized pancakes and cut them into bite-sized pieces, and put warm milk with syrup in a side bowl for dipping.
If you can't find a squeeze bottle, you can cut the corner off a zipper bag.
You can, but the non-conical shape of zipper bags and the typical thinness of the plastic will not give you anywhere near the same control as a piping bag. The better alternative is to keep some parchment paper on hand and learn how to make piping cones, which are easily fashioned out of triangles of parchment paper, and take just a bit of practice to get the hang of.😃
It works pretty well with piping molten chocolate.
Great video! I found it funny when dalgona became such a trend since I knew pretty much the same thing as greek frappé for a couple of decades. The difference is frappé tends to use cold water instead of hot and I definitely make it with less coffee. You can also just pour cold water into the foam instead of milk (or mostly water with a splash of milk). I feel like it's more refreshing that way. Really quick to make (like the second method you did straight in the glass, I just use simple milk frother). Nice to drink during hot summer days.
Nescafe frappe so good .. later summer afternoon on the terrace people watching in Greece many fond memories!
@@mariafentis My family first learned about it when we went to Greece for vacation one summer when I was a kid, and we have been making it since. It has been a fond memory for us too!
I have an immersion blender again I can make this again.
I bet you could put them on parchment on a sheet pan in the oven. It would dry them out so they would stand up to the milk. You could add the syrup to the batter to give them a hint of flavor and sweetness???
Would have never guessed in a million years I could get salmon from Dollar Tree! I honestly never really thought about getting actual groceries from there outside snacks. I definitely will try cooking with DT ingredients now! Those look delicious!
That brand is also at the family dollar as well
I love how soothing your voice is
With the sushi dish, it is still a low cost meal by doing exactly what you did. Getting the majority of the ingredients at dollor tree so that you can splurge a little on the seaweed paper at the grocery store. Imagine how much more expensive this dish would be if you were to get ALL of the ingredients at a grocery! It's all about knowing where and where not to compromise.
You’re so right! Condiments can be so expensive at other stores
Thank you for the dalgona coffee recipe ! I've had several unsuccessful attempts at it in the past, but you made the recipe so easy and approachable I was finally able to make a successful version. The brown sugar with vanilla version was fire!❤
I love your videos this is such a good idea. I especially liked when you did the random recipes from behind packages of products ❤
Glad you like them!
You make such informative videos and I love your detailed comparisons.
You are blowing up lady.!
I'm just thankful for you helping us. My family and I are those people that directly benefit from your recipes and ideas. Ever since I hurt my arm money has been tight.So thanks again!❤
My Dollar Tree had some small packs of seaweed snacks last week. Those might work for flavor.
That's a good idea. I would check the salt content though and then perhaps leave out additional salt in the rice.
To me at least, too much salt will ruin the taste.
I don’t have a clue what’s viral on TikTok cuz I don’t like short form content but I’m always down for a new recipe! I must admit though that the only one I would probably like is the little pancake cereals! I despise salmon from the depths of my soul😂😂😂. You did really good with the cereal! I don’t have that kind of energy or patience 😂
I am learning to enjoy salmon over time, I never was much of a fish person which is why I don’t make fish much on this channel 😂
@@DollarTreeDinners ⚠️🚨📢 Family Dollar and Dollar Tree set to close 1,000+ stores!
Thank you once again for your helpful recipes! Have a wonderful day!
Another great watch! 🎉 I’m here to make a suggestion for a future show! How about a KY Derby Show and make some Dollar Tree Hot Browns? We watch you show regularly from Louisville, KY and would love to see if you can pull a Derby Party off on a Dollar Tree Budget. Or even Dollar General. Thanks! 🐎🌹
I love your videos! I wanted to say, that instant coffee from Dollar Tree is really not strong at all! I tried it for 5 days, replacing Maxwell House instant and I took naps every day and got caffeine headaches. 😛 I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but wanted to suggest that the DT instant coffee is really only good for the taste, not to fuel yourself!
Keeping in mind that these coffees use 6 servings of instant coffee each they are quite strong. I have to be careful when I drink them or I won’t sleep for a week
Fantastic channel 💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love your videos! A thought on the pancakes, could you make bigger pancakes then use something, say a pill bottle, to cut out smaller pancakes?
Thank you for providing another great video!
I was thinking the same thing!
👍😄
I think you could! Although the caveat is that you wouldn’t have as many crispy pancake edges, and they would get soggy faster because they would have more porosity for milk to soak in
Well done per usual! Here's a thought: mashed potatoes from a variety of DT plain/flavored Potato Chips. They're "all the rage" on YT, and I think the origin may have been Tik Tok.
Didn’t she make mashed potatoes from chips for one of her holiday meals?
@@VictoriaEMeredith Hmm maybe, but I honestly don't remember.
@@VictoriaEMeredith yes she did
A new challenge for you: I would love to see everything you could make from one 10# bag of flour. You could use baking powder, baking soda, sugars, yeast etc, too, of course. But it would be great to see how far and wide you could go with just the one bag.
Fun video. For what it is worth, the Dollar Tree butter flavored pancake syrup to me had more of a molasses taste vs buttery or maple flavored. It was okay but not great. But we are kind of spoiled in Maine with having real maple syrup but it is still pricey! I don't use it a lot but nice to know they do have real maple syrup in the Dollar Tree stores.
Thanks for sharing these fun recipes. 😊
Glad you like them!
I'd make a big pancake and cut it into bit size pieces.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe use mini cookie cutters to cut the smaller pieces.
FYI frozen salmon is very microwave friendly so the rice bowls can be microwaved using the frozen salmon.I do a lot of meal prep for work and one of my favorite meals is simply seasoned salmon or tilapia with steamed veggies and a little rice cooked with bouillon. I do use Better than Bouillon as I prefer the flavor and it has fewer objectionable ingredients.
Considering the $5 salmon fillets give you 3 in total, perhaps you can divide it into 3 separate meals... so $1.66 compared to $1.25 for the pouch isn't a bad cost difference! I'm sure it can be prepared in an air fryer, too, to make the process a little faster. I'd love to try this for lunches one week. Might not be enough for dinner.
I was thinking realistically you could split the salmon fillets between 2 bowls but I think you could definitely squeeze a third out of it if needed! :)
I'm calling it: life is too short to make those teeny tiny pancakes!
Not the closest one to me, but the next closest DG just got a fresh produce section, which is great, and gives me hope that the one that’s just a mile down the road will get that as well.
I visited my local dollar tree and saw seasoned beef crumbles. They are shelf stable. I have never seen this on your channel and thought this may be something you would be interested in. I may be late to the party and this is a well-known thing who knows?
I actually just saw those as well and I posted a review of them on tiktok! they are a pretty well rounded brand, they offer a few different shelf stable meat products. You can usually find them at most grocery stores for around $4 to $5 a bag, so at dollar tree it's quite the deal if you need some emergency/hurricane/no cook meal options
Lovely video,thank you for sharing 👍
Rebecca! I just learned you had bariatric surgery. I've been watching you for about a year, and today, I went back to the beginning. I had bariatric surgery 5 months ago. So, in a weird way, I like you even more now😄 I love the platform you've created, I think you are an angel to many. You have a beautiful heart❤ Keep doing what you do!
You can make the dalgona foam in your mug with a handheld coffee frother and just add the milk on top the same as the second coffee you made. Saves dishes and makes it easier.
Not only are these recipe ideas great, but they inspire me to think outside the box since I'm not able to stand for longer periods of time to cook. Nuke rice (or use rice cooker), open can of tuna or salmon, pop open small can of peas or carrots and that - along with canned fruit - is dinner done for me.
Thank you so much for doing this. It has given me ideas for dinners when I only have $20-$30 for myself and my son for the week.I love your channel.
I haven't seen the seaweed sheets in a while...I kind of forgot that DT used to have those! I would love to see a review of the gluten free pasta!
I always regret not making more meals with certain items while they are available, I’m always trying to be more opportunistic 😂
maybe an easier way to make the pancake syrup is to just make full sized pancakes, then chop them up. sure, it's not as pretty, but it could be easier to repeat
Everything looks delicious!
I am too lazy to make mini pancakes. I'd make 4 normal ones and cut them into small pieces. 😂
would love dollar tree version of in n out - their burgers, animal fries, etc.
heck yeah I love coffee & I will be trying this for my next coffee fix
me too !
I feel like you show try some Indian food recipes and recreate them using dollar tree ingredients. ❤
A lot of the spices and flavors that are common in India are not sold at dollar tree, that would be the hardest part. But I’m always open to suggestions if you have any ideas on how I could make Indian food from dollar tree, they do sell lentils at least
I just blend my coffee mixture in a large mason jar so I am not blending it in a bowl. I usually whip mine further so it it is a bit frothier.
I bet you could use tuna if you didn’t have access to salmon and get a similar meal.
We are lucky - my dollar tree always has the seaweed packets. Great as a snack or in a recipe.
I love dalgona coffee!!! It is a special occasion coffee for us...I usually do it in afternoon on the weekends so I use decaf instant coffee. We also make cold foam to put on ours and layer it. We bought one of the milk frothers from Amazon that can make hot or cold foam (they look similar to a coffee grinder) and it makes it easier to do. These videos are so fun! I love when you recreate things using DT stuff (or really anything you do)...like the Crumbl cookies ones are great! Thank you for doing such informative, useful and fun videos!
Rebecca I just love your channel and appreciate you.
Thank you so much!
@@DollarTreeDinners your so very welcome sweet friend.
I never tried the pancake cereal, but it seems like it should be cooked longer so it's more dried like cereal or oven dried
Michael suggested the same that it might be more cereal like to dry it in the oven but that adds another step onto an already time consuming process for a single bowl of cereal 😂
I might have to give the pancake syrup another try. We recently threw ours out. Both my son and I thought it tasted "off"... not tasted bad, but "off." So maybe we did have a bad or spoiled batch.
Thank you so much for giving us older ladies ideas on budget meals. We appreciate you so much, as many of us live on SocSec income that is well below the poverty limit.
Interesting and I was surprised about the dang pancake cereal getting ranked a 9 outta 10…a fun idea and thanks for showing it to us…
I was expecting to be like “yeah just make pancakes” but it was surprisingly good as a cereal
Thanks for exploring and trying new recipes.
They sound interesting, and it was fun watching you make them all.
@DollarTree sponsor this woman! #budgetmeals #dollartree #creativemeals
LOL! Just make regular pancakes and cut them to tiny squares with a pizza wheel or sissors. 🎉🎉
Definitely considered that myself too 😂
Fantastic video I absolutely love this great job. I love all your videos
you could also use caramel flavor and you could also make other changes to the whip topping recipe such as using powdered sugar and it would make it more like a desert coffee and a stiffer whipp
Thank you for the video. The mini pancakes looked amazing but I would not have the energy to make them. I wonder if you could do it using normal sized pancakes and chopping them up? The coffee would have to be a 'day off work' treat for me! Thank you for the video!
The Dollar Tree squeeze bottles are remarkably thin, which makes them super-easy on hands. (I have issues with my hands, and I use these bottles for a conditioner that I love but that comes in the hardest plastic bottle ever and even people with normal strength complain about how impossible it is to dispense the stuff.) Bbut you're absolutely right about the piping bags being even easier. They also give you loads more control than using a squeeze bottle, because with a properly filled piping bag, unlike with a bottle, there's no air either pushing the contents out or sucking it back in. (Air pockets in a piping bag full of frosting or batter can cause 'blow-outs' or 'spitting', which is why bakers and decorators always 'burp' the piping bag first, squeezing out some product into a bowl, before piping onto a baking pan or cake or cookie, in order to remove any hidden pockets of air.)♥
I like to eat cornbread with syrup & milk, so it might be fun to make mini cornmeal pancake cereal! Thanks for all your great videos!
Its probably on top for aesthetics, but i find putting the whip on the bottom for the dalgona coffee makes it easier to mix :)
I make the “sushi bowl” with canned tuna and it’s delicious. It’s like a spicy tuna roll bowl. I don’t personally think it needs to be salmon.
Edit: (to clarify) for the microwave version. Also great job on the video, it was very enjoyable!
i often add crumbled up seaweed sheets to white rice to bring it up a botch. its so good.
You are adorable, so sweet and kind. You put so much effort into very interesting content. Did you ever think of making a cook book using Dollar Tree items? I'm always looking forward to each video. God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah
I make salmon bowls all the time and one tip I have is to make the sauce on the side and drizzle it over the top. I do mayo, soy sauce, maple syrup or honey, and sriracha. I find that it’s the best balance of flavors. For the salmon I also do some seasonings- paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne. It’s incredible and takes no time to make at all. I also like to cube the salmon before cooking to make it even faster and it makes it less mushy than when you plate it up and shred it. Cucumbers are also a great addition bc of the crunch since it’s a pretty soft meal without it, but either way it’s so good and my husband and I always look forward to it
I make these tiny pancakes for my grandson every day. I use a fork to flip them. One tong on the top edge is all you need. Pancake batter does accurate on the fork; just wipe it off.
Wowwww I love your dollar tree stores!!!
Thank you for another amazing video. I don't get on Tik Tok, so to recreate these recipes at an affordable price is appreciated. I loved all of these recipes.
The Pancake Cereal is a 9/10 for me. It's addicting ❤ but texture-wise... you have to eat it like really fast because it turns soggy really quickly.
You saved my budget and diet for college ❤ thanks for another entertaining and lovely video!
❤😋 I like rice topped with canned chicken, drizzle bbq sauce and Sriracha on top and finally sprinkle with onion powder/granules. Mix. Enjoy!! ❤😋
I buy the big nori sheets and cut them into six. Goes a lot further. Is thicker so holds up better. And less oily and salty.
I've made my dalgona coffee with cold water and a handheld milk frother. You can also use sweetner intead of sugar, or no sugar, it's not needed to make the foam.
A couple of years ago I tried the coffee foam and it never did whip up. Maybe I'll try it again. I like your idea of whipping it in the canning jar. The pancake cereal would be fun for toddlers and anyone. If someone really liked it a lot, they could make a big batch, then package in single servings and freeze. Thanks for sharing, wonderufully thought out video as always ! 🥰🌱🍀💐🌷🌹🌞🌛💗✝
Every time I see small pancakes I think of "These Pancakes Are Tiny"
Very interesting recipes. I didn't like the coffee one in quarantine but I also don't like coffee so... Should have known better.
I have done the coffee right in a large mug using just one beater of my hand held mixer.
The coffee thing here where I live people tend to make huge batches and store it in the freezer (it doesn't freeze, just makes it last more), then they take a spoonful at a time and mix with milk
for the coffee! in the cup you can spin/roll a whisk between your palms for a mixer free option :)
I’ve absolutely done that before, it does work but my arms about fell off 😂😂
@@DollarTreeDinners valid it is definitely a workout 🤣
Our girl just made sushi affordable!!! With every video I'm more impressed with her skills!
I've gotten seaweed snacks at the city Dollar trees twice now a couple of weeks ago. So it may just be out in your region. I buy snacky foods to keep in my van for my daughter since I drive her to and from college and a lot of time they are hungry or want to supplement their lunch.
i do the whipped coffee on the bottom of the cup, add a splash of creamer then my milk or water and stir
Ooh can you do a video on eating gluten free from the dollar store ?
I’m glad that you made the dish with and without sea weed as I’m allergic to seaweed.
When I make the coffee I pour the froth at the bottom and use Almond vanilla milk it great
Dollar tree seaweed comes in a clear pack with multiples in them like 3-4. It's na.e brand. Close to nuts and spices
Want to try the coffee, and the sushi bowl! Yum!
Wow, the Dollar Tree in your neighborhood is awesome. The ones near me look like a bomb went off inside. Bare shelves, boxes blocking the isles. Most of the freezers are completely empty. Basically a disaster zone.
I'm pretty sure i made dalgona coffee but used my own mixing power.😊 Also loving the salmon recipe i have leftover nori sheets and now will use it for a deconstructed salmon sushi. Fun video! 🤗
I love your videos. So fun!
Recently found your chanel and have been enjoying all the good videos and ideas. I have a quick video request in a pantry filling video from Dollar Tree. Things like oils, spices, cream of mushroom or chicken soup, flour, sugar, and a few freezer items. Things you buy that last a while and can be used as a base or added to meals with other items from Dollar Tree. Keep up the great work.
We called alot of stuff like that...bread soup. We loved it. Had no clue that we were poor people. But we didn't go to bed hungry.
Don't know if its just where I've lived but everywhere I've gone publix does $5 sushi rolls on a certain day every week, usually wednesday. A lot of other grocery stores that are similar in price will do the same, I think to compete. Sometimes restaurants will do that as well! I'm sure the salmon bowl is pretty good, but fresh might really be cheaper depending on where you live.
I wonder if the dalgona coffee could be done in a blender or using an immersion blender in a cup so you don't have to get a bowl!
