This Came From the Food Bank?! | Frugal Living – Healthy Dinner Ideas – Frugal Living Tips – Dinner
Frugal Living: Today I’m turning something we received from the food bank into a delicious dinner! This is one of those healthy dinner ideas that shows how a simple food pantry find can become a complete meal without spending a lot of money. I’m cooking the food bank steak, putting together the rest of our dinner, and showing you how it all turns out.
FRUGAL LIVING AND HEALTHY DINNER IDEAS!
Frugal Living: Making the most of what we already have is a big part of how we live. Food from the food bank and food pantry can help fill important gaps in the grocery budget, and I love finding ways to turn what we receive into real meals at home. Today we’re taking that steak from our recent food bank haul and finally cooking it!
And before the video is over, I also have the Dessert of the Week to reveal. Wait until you see what is hiding underneath the lid!
If you enjoy frugal living, healthy dinner ideas, budget meals, food bank hauls, food pantry hauls, simple cooking, saving money on groceries, and realistic ways to make food stretch further, I hope you enjoy spending the day with me.
FRUGAL LIVING IS A WAY OF LIFE!
Frugal Living: Grocery prices make it more important than ever to use what we have and make every grocery item count. Whether food comes from the grocery store, a food pantry, or a food bank, a little creativity can turn simple ingredients into a filling meal for the family.
Healthy Dinner Ideas: Living frugally does not mean you cannot enjoy a good dinner. Budget meals, healthy dinner ideas, simple home cooking, and using the groceries you already have can make a big difference when you are trying to save money and stretch your food budget.

Oh yummy skirt steak
Hello Sarah, your hair looks great, you sure cook up the food even though your limited you do amazing my friend! Blessings and love to you and Mr. Turtle, bunny and all the others 😅❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Everything you put together for a meal always looks so good. I do the same, throw it together.
Ooh yummy. Peach loaf cake
Yum breakfast
Well done, Sarah!
That was fun, yes I like this format!!! ❤
Liked and hyped! I really like the parts of the videos that you show how you use the ingredients you received so I really enjoyed this one. One thing about skirt steak is that it can be tough. Marinating it with some lemon, soy sauce, Italian dressing, etc. will help prevent that and you can do it in a ziplock bag to save space in the fridge. Also, if you must cut it before cooking it, try cutting it into larger pieces like 4+ inches so it doesn’t dry out.
I love that you show how to use the food bank food. Some people just get things and have no idea how to make a meal with what they get. You make a beautiful meal and its pretty healthy thanks so much.
I do the same with fruits that need using and use in oatmeal on yogurt or with cottage cheese. I think slightly sweet whipped cream on the cake 😋 would be delicious. I rarely eat ice-cream. Skirt steak is delicious marinated and if not much time use lime juice in a bag or bowl with taco seasoning doesn't need too long.
❤
The frozen cracked eggs are fine for baking. Just let them to thaw then drop them into anything you are baking that calls for 2 eggs.
Liked but my hype isn't working. I LOVE watching your videos ❤❤❤❤❤
the pears and blueberrys would be good on your cake …YUM
Great ideaa with the pears and blueberriies.
This was the first time I watched a video like this and I think you need to do more of these videos
Semi-thaw the meat and it will slice beautifully! Glass jars and lids are so convenient, plus no plastic bits! I just KNEW you wiped off your cans before opening!!! I wasn't worried!
I'm happy with any topic you choose to share on your vlog!🦆
❤❤❤ it's Sarah time again❤❤❤love your videos
I just made my dinner, so I don't get so hungry watching your video. I reheated leftover garden green beans, looks just like yours!😂
Your plating is so appetizing. 🎉
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋
I was surprised to see your video tonight. What a treat!
Everything looked good. ❤
🌹🙏❤
Easy tip marinate in a zipper bag. Love the hair cut, I got mine done today.
That cake would be great with the fruit you cooked up 😋
You do what you do as I am pleased no matter how you do things. Your ideas give me some ideas.😊
Your hot plate reminds me of railroad crossings.
You are amazing! I can’t thank you enough for all your great meals ideas🥰
I've got the same butter at the food bank the last month of so. I really like it and it freezes well.
Good evening Sarah! I like the new format of having one video just for the haul and this one showing us what you did with the food that you got. Plus it just means more wonderful videos to watch 🙂All of your meals looked amazing! Just so you know in the future if you get another skirt steak, you can slice it thin, add it to a bag and then add in a little olive oil and some basic seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder and paprika and toss it together and then put it in the fridge. The bag will help it fit better in the fridge. That being said, you can just put all of the ingredients in a bowl, cover with a towel and let it marinate for 30 minutes on the counter. It is safe to leave it sit out for 30 minutes. Those Olipop sodas are really good, so glad you got them at the food pantry! Looking forward to Saturday's video.
Love whatever you post. Hoping for inspiration! 😅 watching from NW Oklahoma
I can’t tell you how peaceful and happy I feel watching these videos. God bless you always!
Enjoyed the video ❤
👍🌻❤️
Oh you could spoon some of that food mixture over that bread as well as oatmeal too.
Looks so good! I got a great food.pantry haul today too!
❤❤❤

Love ALL your videos. Have a blessed day!!❤
