[Music] well hey you guys so today I'm so excited we're pairing like two of my favorite things together Jade warshaw and food uhhuh that's right so Jade welcome back thank you for having me again so what Jade is like you were so brilliant on and so great at communicating it is about the food budget which is an area of the budget that we all tend to to bust but you do so well showing people hey you can eat healthy you can eat on a budget and you give recipes out yeah I do you know I I love recipes um one of the things when my husband and I were getting out of debt is I started baking and selling the things that I baked and so that's kind of where it started and it's just gone from there and I love it okay and we're entering fall yes so y'all there's like football tailgates there's holiday parties there's cold weather that's coming I mean all of it and I think fall fall and like Christmas is probably my favorite time to cook most wonderful time it is like oh it's just so warm and inviting it's so great so we're going to share with you guys a few of our favorite fall recipes and you're going to love these because they're really easy again we tried to make them budget friendly so that way you can you know remake these over and over again and we want you to give them a try report back on what you like and what you don't like so first up Jade this is your recipe and it looks and smells delicious okay so the truth is this is actually an Ina Garden recipe baref Contessa yes but I kind of streamlined it for my tastes which I think is a good place to start like if you're a person who wants to save money find a recipe that looks good and then you can tweak it and tailor it and make it your own and so this is one of the ones that when we were getting out of debt I used to make and sell so it's cinnamon crumb cake and I love this one because it's usually you know ingredients that you have on hand everybody has cinnamon sugar flour that sort of thing eggs um and then the secret ingredient sour cream makes it moist and I'm plant-based so I do a plant-based plain yogurt so that's one of the ways and so yeah what do you think Rachel oh my gosh it's so good you know what the crumble with a cup of coffee oh oh stop I mean the crumble for real it's a crumble can be hard sometimes to me m um and I use this crumble for so many other recipes any muffin put that crumble on there how long does it take you're probably in and out of the kitchen you're mixing it up in probably 10 minutes but you know then it bakes for 40 minutes or whatever and so the the laborious part is I put everything in a bowl mix it up get it in the pan and then you do something else while it bakes do laundry you know clean up the kitchen that sort of thing so and this would last I mean honestly with a family well my kids probably eat this on one day yeah but I mean I guess you can save it right wrap all of it yeah keep it in the fridge and one you know I'm a freezer Queen so if there's something that I know my family's not going to finish I'll take half of it put in the freezer yeah and what I like to do is I'll slice it like in individual slices and wrap them in foil and then when you want you pull it out of the the freezer let it sit on on the counter for 5 minutes and it's ready to go so great a dollar per serving Rachel no way that's what this is a11 Cent per serving I'm believable okay up next we're going to do one of my favorite fall recipes this is an appetizer and I brought it um to a lot of different places it's usually a hit but it is a honey whipped feta and olive dip so that's coming up next that sounds delicious okay so this is one of my favorite dips um and I got it from Half Bake Harvest so yes a little shout out to her and it is one I've used it for probably 2 or 3 years now okay so it is $261 a serving so it's a little bit on the pricer side because I do think like Feta and all of it you know is that pricey 261 I don't know for an appetizer okay I don't know maybe not yours was so cheap I was like oh man I didn't good on that part okay so it has um some mixed olives and the key here is you roast that cuz they're warm when they go on top of the feta which is huge got garlic shallot uh lemon thyme oregano chili flakes uh some cream cheese all of it the feta obviously that you whip together uh in a food processor so it's really it's I think it's one of those recipes too when you do it once you're like oh yeah I it's so quick so it's a great again appetizer to serve at a holiday party so shall we this looks amazing I'm going to do this I'm not going to move that knife this looks like sheffery was involved I could live on appetizers too PS I could go to a restaurant and order like a eight dips and be good M eight that's a lot that's excessive but that's stupid good that's so good what do you think it and doesn't it feel kind of fall mhm especially with the olives here I got to get an olive too I think the honey is what warms it all together mhm okay so it's super easy next time you come to my house bring that I will I will so good okay next shade what your recipe all right the next one coming up is you know it's fall football season trick-or-treating you want soup okay so this is a tortillini soup recipe it's so good so easy to make Pantry pull freezer pull you're in and you're out can't WIP okay so Rachel this is the time of year for soup and this one is so easy to make this one is my recipe oh my gosh you made this up you're so good you're so talented you know what I'm just trying to use what's in the refrigerator okay we all have that bin of spinach that's in there that you need to use is about to go bad so this soup it's easy it's the broth it's the spinach everybody's got torine or you could probably even use um ravioli and put it in here and then everything else is seasonings right it's Rosemary and parsley and red pepper flakes calini beans make it creamy right and then after that it's you could use a sausage of your choice whether you like you know plant-based version or you like the regular stuff put that in there parmesan cheese let's taste it okay so good my kids love this Rachel I love a broth soup too [Music] mhm delicious satisfying that is so good you put okay so you puree yeah some of this yeah so you start with the broth and you get it in there with all the seasonings and then you add the white beans and if you've ever used white beans before they're very creamy so at that point that's where you pure everything and then you go in and you add the you know the things that you want to keep whole the spinach the tortolini the sausage and so you've got like this really great creamy base but it's still got a lot of texture to it oh my gosh that is so great so easy too super easy yes this my kids would like that yeah my kids love it mhm okay how much is it per serving did you say Okay per serving this is a full meal now you can serve with salad or bread but it's $4 okay per serving which is pretty good and that's if you use plant-based sausage if it it's 315 if you use regular you know mhm whatever you're used to so yes so great okay y'all this is a good fall soup soups too so this will be this will be on the rotation well done Jade thank you well done so good okay the next recipe is mine mhm it's an orzo broccoli chicken casserole so I saw this on Instagram I would give credit I honestly don't remember the girl that I found from um so maybe I can find it we can put it in the show notes to give her credit but uh she got me cuz she said I am making this in 5 minutes with a baby on my hip she got her baby and she's like you can literally do it like like prep it one-handed so I was like is this going to be good so we made it cuz I was like let's just try it and my kids loved it Winston was like what is this and I was like I know it was so easy so this is and we just made it it two nights ago that's a win y it is a win so super easy super fast but it's the orzo broccoli casserole so it's coming next I can't wait okay so Jay this is uh I told you I made this earlier this week but like on Tuesday nights is our family's like crazy nights of like sports and we don't get back home until like 7:30 so and we're split up so I need something that I can reheat as well for the kids that are coming in later uh while we're doing their homework and everything and so this is it so this is the simple fast recipe so all it is in it it's orzo it's heavy cream some chicken broth uh a shredded chicken so you can do a rotisserie chicken or what I do you guys is I put chicken in the crock poot and I do like half a cup of like chicken broth and like some a good chunk of butter and some seasonings and I just let it cook on low for 8 hours and then shred it and use it for the casserole so that it's cooking bu the rotis for chicken salt pepper garlic powder um okay Kinder's buttery steakhous seasoning so I actually bought it for the recipe but it's really good so it's good seasoning and any cheese you have on hand you can just put on top as well Rachel you like it this pops off let me tell you something you know on Thanksgiving everybody makes that broccoli and rice casserole or at least my family does MH it's very labor intensive this accomplishes that mhm but instant this is so good oh the other key ingredient I missed this mhm is bores and cheese oh so you do that in the center of it mhm bake it and then you stir it all together once it's baked so that does give like a garlic more like cheesy flavor I was going to say cuzz it's very like hearty hearty y it fills my kids up and I just will do it with like a side of like thinner rolls or something for them but this comes out to $348 a serving wow so again literally y'all when I say it's 5 minutes that you just sit there and just throw everything in and you put it in the oven I'm like that's my kind of recipe mhm I will keep this feels healthy yes I'll keep this one so good okay last but not least I'm kind of sad this is like ending should we be on the Food Network so we have a food show we should we should okay so this one's inging to me this is I see a buffalo cauliflower dip yes I love buffalo I love this so technically this is a New Year's recipe for me we used to have a lot of people over for New Year's and this was one of the things or even Super Bowl so this is a great one okay so it's super easy to make and I love a dip I love a dip all right so Rachel this buffalo cauliflower dip super easy to make I like it because everybody loves a buffalo flavor you know you do the Buffalo chicken dip but if you're trying to money going with the cauliflower is the way to go this is 98 oh my God per serving that's crazy I love buffalo stuff yeah it's really really good give it a taste I love blue cheese peccant what do you think M let me get in there oh my oh my gosh like you don't that is so good Jade that is so good okay and spicy it's spicy you do not Miss ooh yeah and you don't miss the chicken flour it it really does the making that it it does substitute it from like a texture sto yeah and you can add more in there like this is one of those recipes you get you get creative with if you're like hey I want more um blue cheese if I you could do celery sticks to dip which I like cuz it cools it off a little bit but I love this it's all the thing you know cauliflower is what you need and then you're coming in you do reduced fat cream cheese you could do full fat if you wanted to um and then 2 cups of shredded mozzer one cup of Frank's Red Hot and then of course you could do Greek yogurt or sour cream I like to use the plant-based version as always and then thin sliced green onions top it with um blue cheese if you don't like blue cheese you can are you cooking it where in a crock pot I do this on the stove top like just in a cast iron and then um I I like to bake it off in a cast iron with the cheese on top yes yes and serve it right out there okay and franks I've learned my lesson about Franks it is the buffalo dip so the buffalo sauce buffalo sauce not hot sauce I made a uh recipe that called for the Franks Buffalo grabb the wrong one at the store and I made it with hot sauce and we kept being like this just is like really hot and I was like yeah it doesn't have the Buffalo and I look I got the wrong one so make sure you do the Buffalo yeah Buffalo is cut with butter it's basically it's hot sauce and butter like equal parts so you need I didn't know that butter and I feel so healthy mhm mhm having cauliflower in it too you know okay we'll put all of these recipes you guys in the show notes cuz they're all going to be Staples for me I mean these were all so good they're
