    Im currently living off of chicken @ 2.39lb corn tortillas I bought earlier for $4.99, canned jalapenos $1.67, Cabbage $.89 lb . I just subscribe. I make tacos add cabbage and then once cooked with meat add cold cabbage and my jalapeno and salt, delicious. I figure if I eat 2 tacos a meal I should have enough to last me most of the month. so I bought 2 packs of chicken @$8 each.. so far I have used 2 pieces of chicken each pack has 5 pieces. and each piece makes about 6 tacos, when you add some olive oil garlic salt and cabbage. Im on a super budget but also need to trim up. I plan to use everything up.. before I buy anything else.. and this tastes really good so when I can again I will keep this up, I also have cactus growing in yard I can use to cook with, and verdolaga grows out here sometimes. Great video by the way.

    You didn't need to make the milk gravy in a different pan. Just throw some flour in with the sausage pan (leave all the fat and meat in the pan) and cook the flour for a little while and add milk and stir until thickened. No butter needed. I've never used butter. Search for cream biscuits (just heavy cream and self rising flour) for an easy recipe. 😻 Yes you did it right. Some people like thinner gravy and others thick. If you want it thinner just a little more milk.

    That was a great story about your Husband's family and the tortillas. I am Italian. I grew up 2 blocks down the road from my Dad's parents (my Grandparents) who had their certificate from Ellis Island on the wall. We have visited Rome etc. My Grandmother helped teach me to cook, although my Mom also taught my sister and I to cook as well. They also had large families but for Italians it's the bread. I love how you guys made tortillas everyday and our families made bread when they were growing up. I would think making all of those tortillas would be harder than baking bread daily...My Grandma considered it such a privilege to buy bread, also I think she thought of it as a sign of affluence since she grew up in the Great Depression. So while she cooked a lot of authentic Italian dishes (different than what Americans think of many of them) she didn't do bread as often. She just passed away at the end of January at 96 and completely mentally aware. We had a long sad goodbye 3 days before she passed where we looked at all of the pictures from my childhood with her and Grandpa together and cried. She told me she wouldn't see me again but to remember she loved me.. She always had the best Italian bread when she did make it. Now I bake bread and cook everything I can. I'm so interested in trying out tortillas. My husband got me a tortilla press for Christmas. Now I know to use the right pan!

    It’s so nice to hear similar childhood stories to mine, as I live in south Texas and coming by another Sicilian or Italian that had a traditional upbringing is rare. My grandmother was the strongest woman I knew, and she passed at 100 years old in the house her and my grandfather (who passed 40 years before her) built in the 40s. She lived frugally, and would freeze small servings of everything she made to save money. Snacks at grandmother’s usually consisted of shelled pecans from her tree that we would sit under during the summer and we spent most of our time in her yard tending to her roses and begonias. Now that I’m getting older I appreciate the simplicity of her life so much and I hope I can be half the woman and mother she was.

    If you are making true "southern " gravy then you don't use butter. Milk or water gravy starts with seasoned(already used) grease. Many save their bacon dripping to make gravy. You can also use lard or something like canned crisco. If you are making sausage gravy, then use the fat from that. Add your flour to your grease. Water gravy isn't as good as milk gravy but it will be fine on your biscuits.

    Biscuits are soooo simple. Sift together: 2 Cups all purpose flour 1 T baking powder 1 t salt Optional 1 T sugar Add: 1/3 Cup fat (butter, margarine, lard, shortening, etc.) work it together with your fingers 1 Cup milk or water Can drop the dough onto greased baking sheet to make crumbly biscuits. OR roll it out on floured surface, fold it over and roll out again, fold it a third time and slightly roll out rather thick about 3/4th inch to make layers and have tall biscuits. Grease pan. Bake about 400 degrees for 12 minutes until slightly golden. Can brush with melted butter when fully baked. Cost is very budget friendly but will vary depending on which fat and liquid is used.

    I use this same recipe....easy! If you tweak it a bit, you get scones :) 2 c flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 c sugar (plus 2 Tblsp for dusting the top...optl) 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 stick butter1/2c heavy cream or buttermilk (plus 2 Tblsp for brushing the top...optl) 1 egg 1tsp vanilla 1c to 1 1/2 c fruit or chocolate chips add the dry ingredients to a large bowl and give a quick mix. in a smaller bowl whisk the wet ingredients just to combine. add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients. its important to not over work the dough. basically just mix enough to combine everything well. i find using my hands works best. turn out to a parchment lined or non stick pan. form into a 8in circle or square roughly an inch thick. brush the top with the cream and dust with the sugar. cut into 8 wedges for the circle or 9 for the square. move them so there is about an inch between them. bake 400' 18-26 depending on if you like softer or crunchier. there are soooo many variants for scones. you can make them sweet BUT you can also make them savory.

    I've never seen chorizo in sausage gravy only the breakfast sausage. Saute some diced onion. Equal parts flour and whatever fat. Usually, I break up leftover breakfast or bulk sausage into the gravy so it's not very much. Add garlic powder, salt and lots of black pepper. The liquid can be any milk product or even the liquid from canned vegetables like corn, carrots or green beans. The vegetable liquid will give it a little different flavor but it is still good and budget friendly. Never pour vegetable liquid down the drain!

    Great channel, and a wonderful resource for those who are of limited funds. A roux can be made with any fat, so for those that can't afford the butter, or want to keep the calorie count down, the flour can be added directly to the meat mixture with the fat and toast everything for about 2-3 min until one smells a hint of pie crust, or until you see the flour begin to brown. This is common in french cuisine. Turn off the heat and with the pan hot, add cold milk to eliminate lumps, and to prevent scalding of the milk. Add a crack of pepper and let it take the pepper in for at least 3 minutes to infuse. Salt to taste right before serving.

    Gravy is looking great! You can never have too much ch gravy! When I was growing up, my grandmother made “weenies and gravy”. Cut up hotdogs into bite sized pieces and brown them. To make the gravy, it’s a one to one ratio…. Fat to self rising flour. If you like a dark gravy, brown the flour first, then add the fat to make the roux. Then use water or milk, salt and pepper. Serve over toast. Yum! Or you can use chopped beef and make something called “S.O.S.”

  • @AuLily1
    @AuLily129 күн бұрын

    As long as you have fat rendering from the meat, you can make a roux for gravy out of it! I have used oil if I'm short on rendered fat. 😁 No butter needed. I use fat skimmed off pan drippings all the time for my gravies. Even when I roast meats like beef and poultry, the pan drippings make their way to being gravy. I big chunk my potatoes when I boil them as I think they retain more flavor. Smaller dice does cook faster, but the added surface area exposed to the water tends to water down the flavor. Small dice us great for frying, though!

    The easiest biscuits use self-rising flour and heavy cream. Like you just add enough cream to make the dough so you can pat it out and cut the biscuits using a glass dipped in flour. Just don't twist the glass when you cut them; I know that's important for them rising properly. And you don't pat them out thin; you want half an inch of dough. These are so, so light and good. If you don't have self-rising flour, add baking powder and salt to plain all-purpose flour, about a tsp of each to 2 cups of flour.

I'm partial to these spread with butter and jam or drizzled with honey on them

    With staying on a budget look at bisquick for biscuits. A small box will cost around what a can of grands biscuits are in my area. Also a box will last you much longer and you can make as much or as little as you like. Homemade biscuits can be very easy to super complex depending on the recipe. For single people canned or bisquick is the way to go. For larger families or families with big eaters from scratch is the better deal.

    Good job! My hubby likes sausage biscuits and gravy. I only use a little bit sausage, maybe 1/4 c. I make 2 C gravy, which is equal parts (1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup fat) Then add 2 cups milk, any kind. Do like you and cook the meat then , remove and melt fat, add flour add salt and pepper, cook for a bit to remove flour taste, then add milk and stir till it thickens. Add sausage back in and stir. Now, here's how to "kick it up a notch". Cook an egg, sunny side up, put on top of biscuit and gravy. Ohhhhh, yeah! The extra biscuits are good with a bit of honey, peach preserves or any other jam. Yummm!

    Oh my, it all looks delicious! Love homemade flour tortillas filled with beans and cheese or whatever is in the fridge. Microwave the potato and let it cool enough to peel it with just your fingers. This way, you only take the skin off to save cutting off any of the white part. OR when the potato is cooked (whichever way like microwave or baked) scoop out most of the white part leaving a little white part in the skin so you have a "boat" to fill with whatever leftovers to make another meal so all of the potato is eaten. Cut around the root and top of the onion to give about a tablespoon more onion. Then freeze the top and root to be used as some stock in soup, etc. The paper dry (totally dry) skin, but not the hard top or hard root, can be run through a blended and used as a rough cut onion seasoning. Freeze the uncooked jalapeno stem. Save up several stems to use as "free" homemade yogurt starter. Six stems (jalapeno, bell pepper) per quart of homemade yogurt. When you thaw the stems to make yogurt, that's the time to take off every little bit of pepper off the stem with your fingers and there should be enough to flavor a meal.

    When making a milk gravy leave in the meat sausage add a little oil, the greas from the meat should be enough oil. Do not add butter, it's not necessary. But let your rue 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour brown to get the rawness out of the flour. Then it will have a meaty taste Yours looks delicious 😮 . Just needs to be a little more brown for more flavor . Thank you for sharing this , I had never thought of putting chrorizo.

    I think the chorizo biscuit a nice twist to a southern favorite. You could just add a cup of hot water if at the end your gravy is to thick and want to thin it out you could add more milk as well but why waste milk once the gravy is already complete is always my thought. I think you did a fine job your first attempt

    if you wash your potatoes before peeling then the peels can be slightly oiled and seasoned with spices and baked in the oven to make crisps, thereby not wasting anything

    Use a little less milk and you can add water enough to make it thin enough to run off the spoon ! You did a really great job !! Enjoy ! Also when the gravy sits for a while you will need to add water to make it pour- able again ! Hope this helps you! I am enjoying your channel!

    The way i make biscuits, i use 2 cupsself rising flour, 1/3 cup lard or shortening, and enough buttermilk or milk (full fat for either) to make a shaggy dough. Cut fat into flour, add milk or buttermilk to make dough. Turn out onto floured surface and gently work so that you can pat out and cut. Place on greased pan ( I use lard or shortening) and bake at 425 for about 18-22 minutes. If you'd like, brush with a couple tablespoons of melted butter before you pop into oven. For gravy, brown your package of sausage then add a couple tablespoons of bacon drippings (i strain mine and keep in the fridge) and add about 3-4 T. flour, brown the flour for about 3-5 minutes then whisk in whole milk over high heat til thickened and bubbly, whisking slowly almost constantly so you dont get lumps (about 3 1/2 cups milk). Add more milk if its too thick. then season to taste with salt and black pepper.

    Side note....making this is somewhat of a learned process so don't be hard on yourself if they don't turn out 'perfect' the first time! Play around with measurements til you figure out how YOU really want your finished dish to turn out. Pro tip...never twist whatever you are using to cut your biscuits, straight up then straight down or they won't rise good. Speaking of rising, I forgot to add that I personally like to add about 3/4 tsp. baking powder to my self rising flour because I like fluffier biscuits. Also, i swear the pretty knives with flowers painted on them from Pioneer Woman at the Walmart are the absolute best, sharpest cheapest knives I've ever had😉 Just don't throw them in the dish washer....hand wash only and they will stay sharp ~Alabama❤

    I’m having trouble with the idea of chorizo and gravy. I’m a born Southerner, but I grew up in the southwest, so those are the two ways I learned to cook. Biscuits, sausage and gravy, yes! Chorizo, eggs and tortillas, yes! Chorizo and gravy? Hmm… 🤔 Your gravy’s consistency is just right. And you served it properly. Now, eat and enjoy! 😀 Next time, make your biscuits. Canned biscuits just cannot compete.

    So I grew up on my grandmothers farm in Arkansas, fried baloney, taters and pinto beans were a tasty meal. I think every culture has a poor man meal and its almost always the tastiest. My husband is from Malta and they eat pastitisies, its prepared with a puff pastry, riccotta cheese or peas so good and cheap!!!

    When you make your gravy, add the milk a little bit at a time, whisk til it's smooth, then add a little more. If you add it fast you get lumps in your gravy.

    Just use your sausage grease. Gotta have pepper. No matter the grease/oil… flavor differs the longer you cook off the flour for the gravy. I like light gravy and my husband likes really dark gravy.
