    and for the Gnocchi (doesn t add extra cost):
    after you have cut them in small pieces, as you did - you then use your hands to roll all these little pieces into round small balls (this will keep them FIRM and not dissolving later in the water or pan). Then slightly sprinkle a bit of flour on them so they are not too sticky, and now comes the part that turns them into Gnocchi shape: You take a normal kitchen fork and press the fork tines into/onto the ball, this will giive them shape. 😊

    After I boil my gnocchi I toss it in garlic butter and bake it for thirty minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and toss with my favorite steamed veggies. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. The biscuit and veggie pot pie will be a great way to use up all the leftover turkey this weekend. Thanks for another great budget meal plan. I prefer granola to oatmeal so that is what I would do with the leftover oats.

    Oatmeal is our cheap go-to breakfast. Filling. Good for you. Lots of fiber and protein. I love roasted sweet potato peelings. I dip them in a cinnamon-butter-brown sugar dip.Sweet potatoes are loaded with potassium, protein & fiber. Vitamin C Iron, Niacin, Magnesium, Calcium. I even like sweet potato soup kinda like butternut squash soup. Chicken pot pie with Jiffy Mix. SUPER idea. You will never starve. Love ya bunches

    When my girls were little how I made lunch meat ( we were so dirt poor and my 2 minimum wage jobs kept roof over our heads but I had to get creative) I went to meat market and bought cow toung I scrubbed it good and made a hole from large end through tward tip, I then filled it with home made pico ( chopped onions,garlic,tomatos,jalapeños and celantro) sewed up the end to keep filling inside and boiled the toung till almost done then cooked it rest of way on grill. Sliced thin and it was lunch meat for a week. Back then I had to make meals to feed girls and myself because after rent, lights, car insurance, after school care we were lucky to have 30.00 till next biweekly paycheck, gas was a lot cheaper back then so I feel for families today struggling with food prices, rent, holy cow daycare! So hope this tip helps someone to think out of the box to help fill tummy

    You know my adopted great grand mother was from Italy,grand father was from Sicily. Yes there is a difference if you lived there back then😮. Well Gma Mary said if you put enough love in your food that is what counts. If you want a treat or two this is what she taught me. If you have fresh herbs dice them very small and put it into your dough. Or put some cimmamon, nutmeg in the dough, fry them in hot oil them toss them in sugar brown or white or both. If you get suprised with guests you can add white potatoes, even left over mashed potatoes work well. 🎉
