This week’s recap

To put it mildly, this has been a crazy week! I was asked to appear on Good Morning America to share my latest highly requested budget grocery series. This time, I took a $50 grocery haul from Trader Joe’s and turned it into five different recipes that each made four servings.

I absolutely love putting these series together. It always brings me so much joy seeing you all grab the grocery lists to follow along. If you’re someone who tried the recipes, left a review on my website, or tagged me this week over on Instagram, just know, I appreciate you!

Below if a full recap of the entire series so you can access everything in one place. This series is also live over on the budget grocery series section of my website, so you can always get what you need there, too!

I can’t thank you all enough for helping me to amplify my message on Good Morning America. This would not have been possible without all of you.
