This month I made a low mein stir-fry with a package of ramen that I've had for a long time in my pantry. I also made a cheesy potato and sausage casserole to use up some sprouting potatoes. Part of a loaf of bread (bought on discount as it neared its expiration date) languishing in my freezer, milk nearing its expiry and some spinach nearing the cusp of going bad made a wonderful savoury bread pudding/Strata, especially good when topped with Hollandaise sauce made from a powder packet mix in my pantry. Some overripe bananas, home canned applesauce and pantry baking supplies were used to make a delicious batch of double chocolate banana applesauce muffins for work lunches. I even used up a bottle of lemon juice making homemade lemonade to drink. It was a good month for pantry meals here, too! 😋

There is something so satisfying about home made pizza. I bake mine in a 10 inch cast iron skillet...the one that has 2 little handles on the sides. It fits in my toaster oven perfectly.

Also liked your $25.00 healthy buget meals and the different ways you make salads. When I make a salad at home it's just usually romane lettuce tomato and cucumber. Like how you make salads using kale and spinch with other ingredients. I need to learn to budget and buy groceries instead of eating out all the time.

Thanks, Jolene! I really love making the $25 budget videos, too. It's a sloooow process for me because there are a lot of steps involved. All that to say YES I am (slowly) working on another one of those videos now 🙂 And YOU CAN DO IT! You don't have to be perfect (I don't budget and shop with a list every week) but even if you do it sometimes, you'll notice a difference. Happy cooking!

That pizza looks so good! I didn’t hear about that challenge but it must have been the vibe! I have also been working out the pantry!! I wanna hear about the burrito bowl!

The pizza was scrumptious! And there are always hidden treasures in the pantry 😋

Woof! Well this is inspiring as usual. I try to keep my groceries at 75/week or $300/month similar to what you did here. Lately I’ve been eating my dry goods. I made ras al hanoot cauliflower w rice/lentils and it was sooo good! I have a bag of frozen potatoes, onion and pepper in the fridge I’m thinking of buying sausage and eggs to make breakfast w that. I’m not really good and looking at what I have and making recipes as much as I can look at recipes and figure out what I have. I love that you make a lot of “use what you have” meals. I struggle w that but I used to make a lot of bean soups that way.

$300/month seems really really good these days! I haven't used ras al hanout before but it sounds amazing!

Always loving your enthusiasm and exploring approach to life. You have inspired me to take even more different approaches to using up bounty. Split pea with lentil and lemon/garlic sauce as pasta topping. Languishing potato and spinach soup with leftover bone broth and scallions. Polenta dumplings in chicken broth left from roast chicken trimmings. And leftover cheese ends went into homemade bread. Blessings.🌵💚🙏🥰🙃

Your pizza dough recipe is nearly identical to mine, the only difference is in approach. I start with the flour in a food processor, add the oil and salt. I add sugar to the yeast water, and the drizzle the yeast water into the processor. Add more water - you've added enough when the dough forms a ball. Let the ball spin around a few dozen times and most of the kneading is done for you. :)

Excellent! I will try your approach next time! It seems the ball-forming stage is essential for the right balance of dry ingredients to water.

We’re in the Bay Area and food is so expensive! We’re trying to stick to a “low” budget of three for $1200!

The struggle is real! And everybody has different food habits, stores to shop, etc. Try the grocery outlet if you haven't already! 😋

I hate using a garlic press. Too much work to clean and I feel like it wastes garlic. I just bash it and then chop.

From a Neapolitan and Italian; don't call that a ''Pizza''...it's an insult for the real one and unique one; with ingridients and made from Naples Italy and no elsewhere! Same story for what all call ''Italian Food'' and it's not; it's just a Fake non-sense revolting pseudo-food !

VnnXyz14 - In the US, we call it pizza. In Italy, we’ll try to use the correct verbiage, because we respect the *cultural differences.* No one is perfect, so please get off your lectern.
