      The comments are rude. People are incredibly rude in the past few years and I have noticed comments get more so with each passing day. It is not about taking things personally, it is that we live in a sh**hole world and that is part of the culture these days. People can make nasty comments by hiding behind a keyboard.

    • @blacksunshine5758

      I agree! In 1988 at 18yrs old I was on my own making $7 an hour full time and renting a $200 a month basement room. And trying to go to college. I could only afford 1 class & the books every semester . I never ate breakfast- only lunch & sometimes dinner. Lunch was sometimes two 79c Taco Bell tacos. A lot of nights I didn’t eat unless someone invited me to dinner. Sometimes I ate spaghetti (no meat),or buttered noodles, canned soup, grilled cheese, quesadillas, beans & rice etc. A splurge was Lg cheese/sausage pizza w/ 2- liter soda for $10 that I would stretch out a few days. I really couldn’t afford a lot of food/ groceries back then or have all the spices. I didn’t have a lot of direction & no CZcams back then for ideas. I’m happy people can watch these videos and get some ideas on how to stretch $ and ingredients out. Really as long as your belly is full it doesn’t matter if it’s not super healthy or pulling from every food group.

    Her skills and advice are very helpful for those living on a tight budget. Some people did not learn how to cook from scratch at home, and homemade food is healthier than cheap, processed food bought at the grocery store - for example her bread and tortillas. Her recipes are cheaper and have no strange artificial ingredients or preservatives. It may not be the healthiest food in general, but healthy foods cost a lot of money these days. I appreciate her sharing her knowledge with many people who may really need to know how to eat on a small budget.

    I thought I knew how to make flour tortillas. But, I tried your method, especially using the right pan. I love that I can make 8 tortillas from 1 cup of flour. I added tomato sauce, chopped green onions and chopped fresh basil to the first batch. They came out great. So, I made another batch with half bread flour and half whole wheat flour. They came out great too. Been using these tortillas for everything. Thanks.

  • @bettyir4302

    Waste not, want not tips:
    - Save pickle juice and add it to some mayo and ketchup for a little pickle flavor on the hot dogs and burgers. Pickle juice can also be used in a potato salad when you're out of pickles. Make refrigerator pickles from cucumbers, popsicles for the kids, add a cup to a crockpot pork roast, etc. It can be used as the vinegar in homemade drain cleaner with baking soda and salt.
    - Give the tuna liquid to your furbabies.
    - Save the corn liquid, broccoli liquid, lentil liquid and most all veggie liquids in a freezer container for soup stock. Yeah, not sauerkraut liquid! Save green pea liquid but use sparingly in most soups as it has a strong flavor but it can be frozen separately to use when making pea soup. Beet liquid can be added to baked goods and spinach/greens liquid can be added to crepes for a nice wrap for a little added nutrition. Mild veg liquids can be used as the liquid when making gravies and sauces - yes, it will change the flavor but it's still good.
    - If you happen to be using fresh corn, use the silk for tea, carefully remove the husks to dry for tamales and use the cobs for jelly or syrup.
    - When you are out of pinto, red bean and black beans the liquids can be cooked down to a thicker consistency for a side dish or fill a tortilla or top nachos. Bean liquids can be used in making meringue candy.
    - Roll some of the dough out, add any leftovers, roll up and cut into pinwheels. Top with butter and seasonings and bake, yum.
    - Do a search to find the proper way to heat eggshells to sterilize them (low heat in the oven). Ground them fine and you have human calcium supplement.

    This is my first time watching you. I enjoyed your content. The only item I think is very costly was the deli ham. If you work it out per pound, it’s almost $7 a pound. I purchase the whole hams at the holidays while they are under a $1 a pound, slice thin, and freeze for later use. I even cube some and freeze for soup, stews and casseroles. With all that said, that package is convenient. No doubt. Thank you for sharing.

    I really enjoyed the simplicity of how you made your bread.

I like the '350 for 3 minutes then off' oven proofing. I subscribed and do hope you keep making these videos.
