  1. Thanks for doing a full meal! I really enjoy that, it helps me step out of my "go to" options. Also, with all the added attention on what processed food is doing to our country, its a great source for young families! Keep going!

  2. This is a once-a-week special occasion meal, not every day. The organic poultry at WF is a far cry from those woody, tasteless factory farm specials. There is no comparison between a WF organic russet and what you get in 5 lb. sacks. You can't produce restaurant quality without superior food stuffs.Thanks, Chef Billy for breaking down and simplifying this lovely meal.

  3. Hi Chef, I've been subscribed for about a year now, love them and have made about a third of them. I do the food shopping also and make 2 to 3 meals a week. These "Shop on a Budget " videos are the best, very helpful for ideas about the upcoming week. Thanks again 😊😊

  4. In LA: 25$ for cocktail, 35$ salad, 50$ pasta…cooking becomes not only necessity but a wake up call for health. We are so used to convenience of eating prepared foods, frozen foods and processed crap. Honestly, after eating 99.99% of home cooked food, I look and feel like a better version of myself.

  5. Ummm no it's not. That's patently wrong. When you buy stock either in a can or the cartons you're paying out the nose to ship around a lot of heavy water, because that's what that is.

    They buy the same boullion base that you get in the cubes, or the better than bouillon paste, and add water to it. You get a lot more for your money going with either of those than buying the ready to use stocks/broths off the shelf.
