  1. I splurged on a porterhouse, made stock with the bones, added rice, vegetables, Cajun seasoning and chopped the leftover pieces of the bones and had a hearty meal

  3. You know that inflation has really tightened the purse strings when your family is plucking Stinging Nettles for nutrition.

    All jokes aside, this is a soup that I make on a regular basis. It isn't hard to freeze bones, nor is it hard to fortify a good bone broth with filling ingredients on the cheap. Rice and beans are some of the best natural thickeners and best sources of nutrition and the combination of vegetables, starches, herbs and spices are endless. This is truly a "what's in the fridge and pantry" type of food.

  4. I tried your smothered porkchops recipe with apple juice and enjoyed it so much I made it twice. I will try your other recipes as well. My recipes came from my family, as do most folks. Trying yours when the "oinkers were on sale" gave me a new perspective and flavors my parents never considered. Thank you for sharing these.

  6. Very smart cooking here. When you have quality leftovers like these think about feeding some to the homeless. It's much healthier and nutritious for them than digging through the street cans for food.????????

  8. I wish I could buy kale or celery or spring onions or leeks. They are all too expensive here now, I mean, leeks used to be a bundle of 5 for a dollar, they are now loose and 2 dollars for 1 leek! I buy pig tails or feet when they go clearance, roast them in the oven nice and golden brown and then freeze them in baggies, what fits in my hand per baggie. They go into barley soup which has been around since before the Romans were Romans. Simple recipe there, one hand off stuff (meat or greens or mushrooms or a bit of all three if you have it but just what fits in your hand) and 3 shot glasses of peas and 2 shot glasses of barley cover well with water and cook till as done as you like.

  9. This is a recipe and my friends call cannibal soup lol because it turns a blood red color

    Baby carrots small pack
    Potato cubed with skin on 3 or 3
    Celery chopped 2 or 3
    Beets 3 or 4 cubed with greens and stalks chopped
    Stock base (better than bouillon veggie base)
    Vegan sausage brats air fried or cooked separately then chopped and added to bowl when done.
    Cooke it on high until potato are soft then let simmer until ready

  10. My favorite episode is still the one where ppl were thinking that was Wolfie's hand in the vid cutting into something with fork-a-sue & the hand was dainty with a nice french manicure ????????

  11. I think the struggle meal I remember most was Velveeta boiled potato and little smokies casserole. It was cheap and filling. Dice the boiled potatoes into half inch cubes, a half package of little smokies cut in half. Then melt the Velveeta in the casserole dish then just stir the ingredients till well mixed.
    Half block of Velveeta
    Half package of little smokies
    Three large russet potatoes

  13. Our family does a round robin of who cooks Thanksgiving meal, and I have for many years offered my services to the cook and de-bone the turkey for the hostess with the knowledge that I will be taking the carcus of the turkey home with me !!/:)

  14. I like that you said to simmer the bone, because boiling it causes the bone to close up and the good flavor won’t come out. But the video showed the broth boiling, so I hope people listen.
    Also, I keep my veggie scraps – onion peels, the parts of celery I don’t use, carrot and potato peels, etc. – in a bag in the freezer and add those in when making the broth. It all gets strained out before making the soup. Or I make a whole stock pot of broth, and freeze it in quart containers for use later.

  16. And here I always thought that Scooter was that one relative that your family doesn't like to admit being related to.
    Scooter should stay. He's funny sometimes.

  17. I have cooked with the bones all my life. My kids were in college when realized, soup came in a can. Was quite, funny, to me. They never had it before. ????

  19. As a member of the people, I like the Scooter voice impression as it's a good bit of character for your presentation. And as the saying goes: if you're taking enemy fire, you're over the target.

  21. Helping people to eat well and on a budget is a genuine public service. I dont know exactly what a scooter is but they sound horrible. More hambone for us I say.
