“Get dinner on the fucking table” has been my mantra while my husband has been deployed to push through when I’m tired AF but my toddler and I gotta eat 🙈

When I don't know what to make I just start rice and start sauteing an onion and it usually comes together

I "covid bought" bags of lentils years ago for emergency only becasue ive never used them but they are shelf stable. I recently moved them from my storage bin to my pantry to use, motivated by you. I havent actually made them yet.... but they are in my view every day now.... so im getting closer 😂

So proud of myself today - refried beans usually go to waste in this house, as only a couple eat them on their tacos. Added the leftovers to the meatloaf mixture. Can't tell they're there, and it saved them from going to the garbage.

I’m always wondering… how is microwaving the whole plastic bag ok? Is it not melting and leaching into food?

I literally get angry on your behalf so much. I need to stop reading the comments, lol. Will I still order take out on the days I don't have it in me? sure. Could I still be doing better with my food waste... absolutely...but your videos and advice are making me think and do more. Little by little, it doesn't happen overnight. And I can safely say thanks to you, I am spending less on groceries and cooking more meals for my family. So thank you!

Do you and your husband always agree on your frugality? I don’t know how to get my husband on board with not having what we crave every night

Almost got takeout but knew I had food to cook. Didn’t have the ingredients for my normal mac and cheese so typically wouldn’t have made it. But thought of you and used what I had and my husband liked it more than my not

Kids want to eat every night. Some nights it's like "didn't I feed you yesterday?!"

This is why I don’t understand the doubters in your comments. $300 definitely isn’t the minimum that a person has to spend in a month. You could absolutely be spending even less than that if you thought it was worthwhile to make everything from scratch.

My budget has to tighten recently… and I swear I’ve been hearing your voice overs in my head all week- and it’s working! “I’m not out of food- just convenience” and I can work with that! 💪🏻

Hey I love your page your meals and your entire system!! I have a question though. I know that soupercubes are expensive, but have you ever considered them for the prep at the end of the month when you start to freez what’s left to make room for the new? I know you don’t have a lot of leftovers ( because you’re amazing at portion sizes) but a few premade meals in cubes make for amazing dinners on nights like you just mentioned. Just wondering your thoughts on that product or style of prepping/preserving/ saving

Thanks to you, I’ve started saying in my head, “Hello & welcome to another day of getting dinner on the f-in table!” 😂

How do you keep your air fryer so clean? No matter what I do it gets greasy and hard to clean
