BEANS & RICE
1 pound of pinto beans rinsed
2 pounds of cooked rice
1-2 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 pound of bacon
1 can of rotel
any of your favorite seasonings
8 cups of water
shredded cheese for topping
krusteaz cornbread
Combine all ingredients (not rice) into crockpot and stir. Make sure water is covering everything almost up to the top of the bowl. There is no need to soak the beans over night if you put enough water and allow to cook all day 8-10 hours or just on low. You can stir throughout the day or not at all and it will taste delicious. Pair with shredded cheese, rice and cornbread and you are good to go. EASY $5 dinner for your family.

This woman never stops. I'm a single dad with three kids (7,3,1) and have to force myself to get stuff done. I truly envy your productivity.

Lol ❤️👍🏼 I love this..
I know you’re so busy but please never quit because your videos are AMAZING! You’re one of the few that are still down to earth and relatable!
I used to start a load in the morning before work an come home at lunch. Warm up a cup of coffee an go hang the clothes on the line an then go back to work. As I got older I would do a load before work an then after I got home put it in the dryer. Now I hang them on the line again weather permitting. I love the smell of line dried clothes.
I like how you’re so real. So many channels have like freakishly perfect houses in their videos & it either feels fake or showy. I love your authenticity.
I am a mom of 2 grown children, I'm pushing 60 and I love your videos. It's been a while since I have cooked for 4 people every day and done that much laundry and house cleaning. But I like the way you do things! No shortcuts, well planned, and you keep busy! Very refreshing in these days of many shortcuts like not sorting laundry, no top sheets on the beds, instant pot for everything, and kids with phones and video games but few books (I'm a first grade teacher so I had to throw that in.) Keep up the good work! Take a little time for yourself once in a while.

But shortcuts are good! When we'll chosen...
You have so much energy. You have your priorities focusing on your young family. What could be better than that? Vera and Truett are so precious. Blessings, sweet Abby!
How are you feeling? Hope all is well. Hey don’t worry about what your laundry room looks like! We don’t care! You have one and you use it lol. That’s what counts. Your little helper is beyond adorable. 😍😍😍
Your so awesome! A teacher, a mom, and so much more. God bless you!!
Thank you for showing the laundry room and being real in this video
Thank you for making the time to film these videos! It’s not easy having a full-time job and being a mama. Can’t wait to see your super bowl appetizers ❤️
We had front loaders in Germany when we lived on the economy. I hated them. My mom still has one. I hate using them. So glad I live in America where you have a choice.
I had that same washer and dryer and ended up stacking them. Lowe’s sells the kit which is literally just a bracket and screws. Super easy and you can use that other wall for a folding table and some cabinets or something organizational like that to maximize that space.

Currently sitting with a pad and paper making my grocery list for Wednesday and your $5 meal videos are my inspiration! Love your channel 💕

Love Budget friendly meals...
You are quickly becoming my favorite KZreadr. Your so real and honest and funny. Love love love your videos! Thank you for sharing and making me feel a lot more normal than I did 20 minutes ago lol
Omg I tell anyone who will listen about premier caramel protein shake and coffee/espresso. Best. Coffee. Drink. Ever!!!!
I you make double the amount of rice and freeze it, you can just microwave that. Costs pennies.
Espresso with a protein shake?? Ingenious! I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm loving it! ❤

I love when you’re suddenly covered in stickers for a second 😂😂 toddler mom life
I've got the beans and rice meal going in my crockpot today! It sounded so good to me. I also love how you got "sticker bombed" 🤣 🤣 🤣 so cute. 😄❤️
Hi ! Found your channel through Do it on a dime channel. And I love it! Thank you for reminding me we do t always have to cook meat for a meal and the crockpot idea I love it . I think I will start implementing that idea on a Saturday or Sunday.
I adore your videos. Please be careful with the stovetop and little bottoms. It just takes a minute for little fingers to turn on the burner and the tiny bottom will burn before you realize they touched the knob. Bless you and your precious family. ❤️
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with the dreaded clothes on top of the dresser!! Drives me nuts!!!!! Love this video!!
I can't even remember the last time I was awake at 7:20am on a Saturday. I guess when my kids were the same age as her kids?
if you go to instacart they do curb side pick up at Aldi now. I live in a small town in Central Florida and they have rolled this out to most of our Aldi
I just love your channel! So relatable!!!!
Can you make another video like this with your grocery haul? I loved it! I love your videos by the way 💕 I’m always looking for ways to make good family meals on a budget especially now that I have a baby girl on the way in October and working full time!
Your little helper is too cute! Enjoyed the video!
Yum! We have similar cooking and cleaning ideas it seems 😀 can’t wait to see the appetizer video!
I love seeing your baby tummy😍 your other kiddos are getting so big! Thank you for sharing your family with us. Iam a mother of 5. My oldest is almost 23 and my youngest is 8. I have twin daughters that are 18, and they love watching your videos too. They have used your makeup tips and beachy wave hair tips❤ Thank you for another video. Sending Anguiano love ❤❤❤
I’d give anything for a laundry room, no matter how small!
I just love these videos! Cheap meals are a life savers!🥰🤤

That's such a motivating idea... Even if you have to first set about doing less things on you're list, as long as something is being achieved each day .. As you're motivation and productivity builds up...
Loved your vlog! Wow I was tired just watching it, you are very productive. Have a blessed week
I just love that tater tot casserole you make, I make it all the time!!! My whole family loves it!
You are awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Vera totally wiped deodorant on her lips when y’all were getting ready lol great video thanks for sharing

Thanks for yet another inspirational video!
Hi. I just saw you for the first time. I really really like you. Your kids are adorable. You are very pretty too. I subbed just now. Trying to watch your channel & get to know you. Where do y’all live? I live in Jacksonville Florida. Soo happy about your baby that’s coming. I just melted when I saw your lil girl lol. Can’t wait to see your other videos. Kim
Love you and your videos!
Between my brothers an I we do a load a day it seems. Always have the clothes rack out in the laundry room it seems. One of these days I am going to get a rack for over the tub like I had in Germany.
You need to get the ham bouillon it comes from goya. I will put about 4 in my beans and don't even have to add any meat to it.
Thank you so much for the awesome video s
I only make my bed once a month when I change my sheets. In Europe they don't make beds they air their sheets out every day in the window
Can you do a video about when you do floors, bathrooms etc
I totally agree with Parents Choice. Being a mom of twins, I knew diapers were gonna be so expensive, so I went through EVERY SINGLE diaper brand and the cheapest ones were Parents Choice. They are amazing with heavy pee-ers. And blow outs rarely happened. Sorry if TMI for anyone but its true. I tried others like Pampers since they were preemie and those sucked.
If you try to do at least one small thing during the week there will be less to do on the weekend. Maybe keep some ice in an old fashioned ice tray in the freezer? It's not always easy but it does help. Great tips. TFS 😀
much respect for you mrs

I loved this video. First time here. You definitely have it together!!! Enjoyed very much. When is your baby due?
I love your sticker belly. :-D
Where is that gorgeous fleur de lis bowl from?
I wish this budget of $100 would work for us but we are all so picky and have dietary restrictions.
...we’ve had delivery for a while and it’s through Instacart and delivery fee varies depending on the time. I don’t use it because of the fee (I think it’s very expensive) but my kids have used it. I watch my granddaughter and when she was out of diapers they ordered diapers, wipes and some other basics to get to the $30 minimum and had it delivered so I didn’t have to go out with a little one.
I read the description on how to cook the beans in the crockpot but just so im sure, its 8-10 hours on low? Thanks for sharing!! 😊
Instacart delivers Aldi where I live!

I’ve got to try that!
You'd save more money and the environment if you didn't buy bottled water, and bought a Brita which comes in two styles. one for the fridge with a filter and one you attach to your tap. They cost a bit up front but last 3 months ... I did that not only does that save space but I use a water bottle i bought at Walmart and I don't have to worry about it being clean water. Most bottled water is filterd tap water anyhow

Can u tell what model is your nespresso machine?
Wow, you are a superwoman!!
In your beans and rice recipe, you mentioned "any seasonings of your choice". I was wondering what seasonings do you use (I am a brand new cook). Thanks for sharing. By the way, I LOVE your pot roast recipe from about 9 months ago! It is sooo simple but yummy!

When I cook beans I always sprinkle in garlic and onion powder and pepper. Here lately I've added a Sazon packet. If I add the sazon or bouillon I dont add salt.

Yes but you could also sub the bacon with a ham bone or just let the meat out altogether
Haha! Did she just apply deodorant to her lips at 11:32? How adorable.
