Extra Crispy Fried Chicken Secrets Unlocked

Start by marinating your chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 2 hours. This step is key for super juicy meat. Mix up a blend of flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The cornstarch really helps with that extra crunch. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, making sure every inch is coated. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the coating sticks better. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. It usually takes about 12-15 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep that crispy texture. I always find this makes a huge difference! Seriously, the crunch is unreal every single time. #friedchicken #recipes #cooking #Food

This trick is for my veggie-hating little girl👧

Pureeing vegetables into sauces has been a real game changer for us. For tacos, I’ll blend carrots, zucchini, and even spinach into the tomato base before simmering with ground turkey and taco seasoning. The veggies disappear into the sauce, and the texture stays smooth, which makes it easier for my family member to eat. Another thing that’s worked is making veggie-based curries. I’ll cook down cauliflower, sweet potato, and bell peppers until they’re super soft, then blend them with coconut milk and curry paste. The result is a creamy sauce that’s full of flavor but doesn’t have any chunks. So far, she hasn't raised any objections. I guess I'm pulling off the disguise well. #SensoryFriendlyCooking #Veggies #Parenting #Kids #Recipes #Kitchen Hacks

Like in the restaurant! Sticky Pork Ribs in 45 Minutes(very cheap!)

Sticky pork ribs for under $7 is the kind of deal I can’t walk past. Pork ribs are always popping up in the sale bin at my grocery store, and if you’re not picky about the cut, you’ll save even more. I usually check the clearance rack for spices and grab whatever barbecue sauce or honey is marked down. Pairing ribs with a big batch of rice or some roasted veggies means everyone gets fed, and the meal stretches further. If you’ve got a slow cooker, it’s even easier—just dump everything in and let it go. No need for fancy ingredients, just use what’s cheap and on hand. Saving on meals like this keeps my food budget in check, and there’s usually enough left for lunch the next day. No one’s turning down leftovers when they taste this good. #Recipes #BudgetCooking #PorkRibs #Food

My Cheap & Filling Meals, no need for Expensive Meet!

I have to say that meat prices are wild! Why it still keeps high since the tarrif has gone normal? Anyway, lately I’ve been leaning into hearty beans, lentils, and eggs to keep us full without breaking the bank. One of my go-tos is a big batch of chili with just a little ground beef or turkey, then bulked up with black beans, kidney beans, and lots of veggies. It freezes well and tastes even better after a day or two. Another winner: chickpea curry with potatoes and spinach. It’s filling, cheap, and you can make a ton for meal prep. Swapping out more than half of the meat for beans or lentils in most recipes keeps everyone full, and the grocery bill stays way lower. #Recipes #budgetmeals #mealprepideas #savemoneyoncooking #Food

Dinner That My Toddlers Beg For Every Thursday!

Feeding two boys on a budget means getting creative, and honestly, they’d pick my homemade cheesy veggie rice over filet mignon any day. Last week, I grabbed a 5-pound bag of rice for $3, a bag of frozen mixed veggies for $2, and a block of cheddar on sale for $3. That’s $8 for a meal that stretches into leftovers! Instead of splurging on expensive cuts of meat, I bulk up meals with beans, lentils, or eggs. Buying in bulk and sticking to the outer aisles of the grocery store saves a surprising amount of money. I always check the clearance section for bread and produce—sometimes you find real gems for half price. Making a big batch of something simple, like this cheesy rice, keeps the kids happy and the wallet intact. Leftovers go into thermoses for lunch the next day. It’s not fancy, but it works. #Recipes #BudgetEats #FamilyMeals #EasyDinners #Food

$3 Pierogi Plate: 15-Minute Bacon, Onion & Cabbage Dinner Hack! 🥟🥓

Pierogis with bacon, onions, and cabbage for under $3 a serving? That’s the kind of math that actually makes sense. The trick is stocking up on frozen pierogis when they’re on sale—those buy-one-get-one deals at the grocery store are a lifesaver. Bacon ends or bits are usually cheaper than full strips, and they add just as much flavor. Cabbage is always affordable, and it stretches a meal like nothing else. Sauté everything together, and you’ve got a plate that feels like it cost twice as much. It’s wild how much you can save just by grabbing store brands or hitting up the discount produce rack. Sometimes the best meals come from what’s left at the end of the week. No need to spend big to eat well. Pierogis are filling, easy to cook, and don’t need fancy ingredients to taste great. That’s the kind of dinner that keeps the budget in check without feeling like a sacrifice. #Recipes #BudgetBites #EasyMeals #PierogiNight #Food
