Ingredients for the Mushroom Gravy: 8oz of sliced mini portobello mushrooms 1 sliced onion 1 tbsp minced garlic 3 cups beef broth 3 tbsps butter 2 tbsps flour 1/2 tsp salt In a large pan add 3 tbsp of oil and cook beef patties 2 minutes on each side on medium heat. Remove beef patties and add 2 tbsps of butter, minced garlic, onions and mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes then add 1 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsps of flour. Whisk in the flour and then add then add beef broth a cup at a time until reaching desired consistency. Season with salt and add back in the Salisbury Steak to simmer in the gravy for 4-5 minutes to finish cooking. For the cauliflower mash I cut up one head of cauliflower, boiled for 10 minutes, drained, tossed back in pot to cook on low heat for another 5 minutes to dry it out, then blend in the food processor with 2 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsps of cream cheese. I seasoned with a pinch of salt and garlic powder. #salisburysteak #budgetmeals #lowcarbrecipes

Here’s my meal prep chia pudding breakfast I’ve been eating during my 75 Hard Challenge. You need 2 tbsps of chia seeds, 1 cup of protein almond milk, 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp of honey and a dash of cinnamon. Mix really well together and refrigerate overnight. Top with 1 cup of sliced strawberries. #chiapudding #75hardchallenge

Save and Share how to make Sago in Mango Sago. It’s actually called tapioca pearls and the process in cooking them has a few steps. First you simmer on low heat for ten minutes and occasionally stir to avoid clumping. Next turn off the heat and cover with a lid for 15 minutes to finish cooking. Lastly rinse and strain to remove excess gel. To make the Mango Sago you need champagne mangoes, coconut jelly, sago, evaporated milk, coconut milk and condensed milk. Mix it all together and refrigerate for at 3-4 hours, but over night is best. #mangosago #sago

Making homemade dog food. I did a lot of research and nutrition for dogs before testing this recipe out. I do want to point out he’s missing some omega-3s in this meal so next time I’m going to add sardines or salmon. I I just didn’t want to try too many new foods all at once so I’m introducing slowly. He also takes a multi vitamin just to make sure everything is covered. Here’s the recipe if you want to try. 4 pounds lean ground turkey 4 ounces of chicken hearts and gizzards 3 tbsps coconut oil 3 large sweet potatoes 1 cup of rice (rinse rice) 4-5 cups of water Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes. Then add about 3 cups of broccoli and 1 bag of frozen peas. Cover with a lid and simmer for another 10 minutes and then mash. #homemadedogfood #dogfoodrecipe

I know immigration is complicated, but our shared humanity doesn’t have to be. What is happening with ice raids is inhumane and we need to be the voice of people who have no voice right now

Save my recipe for Chicken Enchiladas! This is a budget and family friendly dinner that cost about $20. I shredded half a rotisserie chicken, used corn tortillas and a pound of mozzarella cheese.

Cooked in olive oil to brown and then add a little water to finish cooking. Blend with cilantro and salt. #chickenenchiladas #budgetmeals

Replying to @Mama Gookie '73 Here’s my second attempt of making dog food for Cooper. I boiled a whole chicken, shredded it, removed the skin and set aside the broth to boil everything else. I blended liver, chicken hearts and sardines and cooked it in coconut oil. Then poured in chicken broth, sweet potato, rice, broccoli and frozen spinach. This is still not a substitute for all his meals because he still eats kibble, but I like giving him some variety. #homemadedogfood
