🍽️ Budget friendly family food 🍽️
Hi, I'm Donna and I am a wife and mum to two boys aged six and ten. We have a miniature Dachshund called Duke (who is pretty crazy!) so he'll be featuring too! I’m living with secondary breast cancer but live a pretty normal life around treatment!
I have a passion for cooking and enjoy trying new family friendly recipes, on a budget, that the whole family can enjoy. On my channel you will find mostly lifestyle content from shopping hauls, family food, life on a budget and lots more!
I upload on a Tuesday (grocery shop) and Friday (budget meals) at 4pm with a few extras sometimes too! If you enjoy this kind of content, I’d love it if you would subscribe so that you don't miss any of my videos! If there's anything you'd like to see on my channel, make sure you leave me a comment!

Thank you ❤️ yes, I'm doing okay - hope you are okay too xx
@@dinnerwithdonna that’s amazing xxxx I hurt my back- it’s been a few weeks and still agony.I don’t know if il improve but it does take weeks for some clarity on the situation. My back is in bad bad shape and it does decline every so often.we shall wait and see xx
@uglenddalejones2 ahh that's frustrating. Hopefully you'll get some answers soon ❤️
@@dinnerwithdonna I’ve not bothered though my niece did try hard to get me to a+e. I know my back is in bad shape. Managed to recover enough to then not need a disc out- after going private to see a spinal surgeon,I was recovering and therefore it was decided that it was better left which I agreed with. It takes a long time to recover xx Thank you 💟🌸
Such a nice surprise to see a video from you! You made some really great meals. Everything looked great!! ❤❤❤
Ahh thank you 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed xx
Yummy food
Thank you 😋 xx
Really nice meals Donna. I love fish and In also trying to have it once a week. Its amazing what you can do with a Tin of tuna. I also love basa, hake is also really nice. Salmon & cod delicious but not cheap, I do buy those biy obviously not every week!! Nice & summery menu you've cooked
Thank you 😊 I agree, fish is very expensive, the frozen.is more economical ❤
Lovely meals, hope you are enjoying the summer holidays with the boys.
Yes, thank you we're having a lovely time 🌞
🙋♀️👍😋♥️
❤❤

Thank you! You too! X
I was thinking about you yesterday and here you are! Lovely meals will definitely be trying some of those. Hope everything is going ok.
Ahh thank you 😊 yes, all okay thank you- having a lovely summer ☀️ hope you are okay too xx
Me too.... I thought I had missed a few videos. She must have been reading our minds. We missed you Donna😊
@@meloshea7895 ahh thank you! I haven't been videoing much but thought i'd share some tasty summer dinners :) hope you're well xx
Delicious as per standard with you Donna ❤
Thank you ❤️
Crisps for dinner 😫😫
None of the meals are crisps.... 🤣
@@dinnerwithdonnaThe first dish is made with crisps (how can you say it isnt - you literally state ‘take the crisps and bash them to use as crust on the chicken’ !!!!!!!!!)
@Shopgirl2000 to coat chicken breasts, not like we just had a bag of crisps for dinner. If you don't like it then don't watch.
@@dinnerwithdonna Stopped watching after that. Don’t worry. 😊
That salmon looks nice was it tasty? Xx
It was lovely 😍 will definitely gey again! X
Great food haul Donna, glad to see your bk I really missed you take it easy.❤
Thank you Pauline ❤️
Looking after the boys, house work treatment?it might only be a rumour but i heard you were seen in a pink bikini, on a yacht in St tropez, in the company of tom cruise, just saying saying ❤❤❤❤
Haha 😄 that would be nice! 👙 ⛱️ 🍸
Hey! New subscriber. Can you put rough measurements please?
Lovely to see you Donna. Do whatever you like, spend quality time with your beautiful family. Nice food haul. X
@julielyddon538 thank you Julie 😊 xx
Glad your OK, of course we will watch whenever you can upload but look after you and your family first take care x
@sharonnash6111 thanks Sharon 😊 xx
Glad to see you. Enjoy your summer and we will be here when you want to share a video ❤ take care 😊
@@diaryofmyfrugallife thank you, you too 🌞 ❤️
Pleased to see you back and great video xx
@@jocelynwright9927 ahh thank you 😊 ❤️
Lovely to have you back., but understand busy times for you and your family. Some interesting choices on your menu. Keema curry sounds lovely.
@elainecoad205 thank you, Elaine xx
Good to see you back. Hope you have a refreshing and restorative break. How lovely that Duke does not have to go into kennels. That is one less worry for you. I could not see any prices on this video? Could be my old phone of course, as it is on its last legs!
@isaura1275 ah I don't think I could put him in kennels. Thank you, can't wait for the summer hols. I didn't put prices on this one xx
@@dinnerwithdonna I so agree with you about the kennels. They are a family member after all. You would be worried sick about Duke. He is so devoted to you, his little heart would break. I love it when you have bought him some dentalstix and they are on the table. He really makes me laugh as he pops up on every dining room chair to get your attention even though he has already had one!
Great haul, and some good meals planned! Glad to hear you are ok, and look forward to videos when you are able to get them out. This time of year is so darned busy, plus family time, and settling into your new home :) cheers and love
@Taralynn70 thank you 😊 yes, super busy and can't wait to spend time together xx
Absolutely wonderful to see you and see and hear your voice Doing a shopping haul ☺️☺️💟💯👌 Keema curry sounds very appealing Donna. Hope you are doing ok,sounds very busy your side. Adding extra specific nutrition should sort you out,I’ve rarely heard of it being difficult to rectify,with obvious exceptions my cousin occasionally has an issue with platelets due to lupus.i find interesting because of what my working life was xxxx
@uglenddalejones2 keema is so quick and tasty, we should have it more. Mines pretty low because of constant chemo battering my bone marrow. Xx
@@dinnerwithdonna bless you sweetheart xxxx
Hi Donna, it's lovely to see you back and it's lovely that you took time off to be more involved with your children xx
@lochamb1234 thank you 😊 yes, being present when spending time together is so nice xx
Hello amazing to see you back 🌷
@@sikneborr6980 thank you ❤️
Hi Donna, Super to see you and of course I'll watch any video when they show up. At the same time family is way important and being 100% dialled in to them is what comes first, so enjoy what the boys are doing as well and respond to what u need. Did I mention I love that hoodie, and how it matches the scarf, animal print is so wearable regardless of the weather. I ate my first punnet of plus last month, and your right their incredible, I get the mangos and find them decent value cos you can judge the ripeness, its always tasty and a fair amount. You make such great shopping choices, and maybe I'll update u with news from me later, I was trying to respond to your absence by giving you space xx
@carolking4124 thank you 😊 yes, I love leopard print 🐆 I'm glad you enjoyed the shopping, my bills are a lot more with my boys eating lots now and eating healthily xx
Hello Donna 👋 sorry I've not been watching some of your videos but I'm going to catch up . I will be praying 🙏 for you and your family , sending you all love and prayers 🙏 God bless you all.
