  1. Low Carb Veggie is perfect for tonight. I was trying to come up with something to make because every single veg in this video is exactly what I need to use up! Plus I have everything else. Thanks for help!!!

  2. Hi Julia, great this video with a variety of ground beef meals. Definitely going to try these recipes, just perfect for this time of year. Have a wonderful week. Greetz from the 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

  3. Hi Julia…I emailed you about the drawing for the gift card..but I'm not sure if you received it…can I please be entered for the drawing? Sorry and thank you so much ❤

  4. Congratulations on your second cookbook! We are really enjoying the first one and I can’t wait to get the second one soon!

  5. Congrats on the new cookbook! I love these recipes! We've been using chorizo and ground turkey since they are less expensive, but I know they will work with these recipes. I have made my version of the queso dip for years! It has become a tradition around the holidays, especially for New Year's! Can't wait to see what you make next! Have a great week!

  6. What’s the conversion beans? You’re using canned beans but my family is working to switching to dry beans due to the price and space in our pantry. Don’t wanna make too much and waste it 🥲

  7. These work great with TVP, for my fellow vegetarians! Plus, the V8 juice really does work for the soup.

  8. And remind everyone to check for sales. I can walk to a Safeway and they had a 5 lb bag of potatoes or onions for .94 cents each. Limit three. And I got canned corn at Walmart for 50 cents each. A simple meal can just be three items. And Jiffy Corn Muffin mix is 50 cents. I also got eggs for $2.27 with coupon at Safeway. I live in a rural town and only have two stores. Both within a mile. Sometimes less is more and appreciated. I have always lived within my means and these videos are great ideas. Love your work Julia.

  9. Hi 😊 Julia thank you for sharing 11 of ground beef recipe 😋 yummy. Creamy taco pasta, tomorrow night and for weekend beef stir fry. All of recipes looks so delicious . Julia my sweet friend have a wonderful and blessed 🙏 week. Brinkley so adorable . 🦃🧡😇🥧

  10. I always appreciate how you use regular grocery store ingredients in your recipes! Turns out, most of us don't want to have to cook everything from scratch!

  11. Thank you for sharing, Julia! My mom wasn’t feeling well and so I made the soup on Monday during the cold snap. She seems to be doing much better, I think the soup helped❤

  12. A small detail caught my attention – namely that you added the cornstarch to the soy- sesame beef sauce! I never do that and my sauces are always very watery and therefore not very pleasant to eat with rice. I learned something new, thank you so much❤❤❤

  13. Tip put the chili powder and cumin with the hamburger when you brown it. Spices bloom best with fats. You will get a better flavor.

  14. I made this tonight minus the V-8 cause it wasn’t in the budget;( I actually borrowed a can of diced tomatoes from a neighbor)and used a can of whole tomatoes that I quartered and put in towards the end. It was delicious!!!😋

  15. Made the Queso Chili tonight in the InstaPot! I used a jar of queso I had in the cupboard I wanted to use up and I added 1/4 cup of heavy cream to even out the taste of the jarred queso from the store (it needed it). And I used whole grain penne instead of rotini bc I didn't have any and I knew that since there was tomato soup and plenty of flavor to the chili that we wouldn't even notice the whole grain aspect, and we didn't! We tore it up! We definitely will be having it again! Thank you bunches Julia! Much love!

  16. Hi Julia, these sound so delicious! I already have your first cookbook and absolutely love it. ❤ I plan on ordering your new one for a young family member getting her first place but wanted to get it for my sister and I if the recipes are new compared to the first. Are the recipes all new or are there repeats?

  17. Julia, I baked a beef roast about three weeks ago and I had to substitute an ingredient in the sauce. The recipe called for tomato paste but I didn't have any so I used a couple of tablespoons of tomato soup. Couldn't tell the difference. It turned out so good. My dad always used V-8 juice when he made homemade vegetable soup.

  18. Oh my…your girls are growing up so fast! I remember when your first was seen in her walker during your recipes! Love your family Julia! Keep up the good work! Love your vids…no fluff all instruction!

  19. Enjoyed these new ideas. We raise our own meats and often have way to much ground beef on hand so it was nice to have new ideas to use it up.

  20. The only “meat”my husband and I eat is Salmon on Sundays as a rule., We are retired and find it healthier to eat whole foods vegan plants.

  21. I'm not one who enjoys cooking so your recipes are a life saver. Good meals and easy to make. I love how you demonstrate them. Easy to understand and visually see with no added banter and distracting music. I see you also have an upcoming new chef with you.😃

  22. After all these years, you still blow me away with all these yummy recipes. It's getting to be about all I cook any more is from your two cookbooks and multiple videos! Thanks so much! I have your Zuppa Toscano in the crock pot right now. edit to say: I cook a 3# log of hamburger and freeze 2# in quart bags so I only make a greasy mess once for 3 meals.
