$40 that a lot for a meal of three course

try a meal $15 for three course

[JohnnyTheRavenous]

When you are making as much as these news people then your budget is 40$ I hope to spend 40$ for enough food for three days. If they would have said a meal for 15$ then there we go. Screw you CBS this is as back as when Kimberly from channel ten news put on a fat suit just to catch peoples comments. Thanks for making the poor feel poorer and the fat feel fatter.

[AdIgnorantiam]

I went to a restaurant with my family. Burger chain. With tip our total came to $60. This is about having a three course meal for $40 or under. That's a deal.

[wilsocn]

@AdIgnorantiam 60 bucks fat a burger joint?  You got swindled, bud.

[AdIgnorantiam]

One more thing I didn't mention... leftovers! You have to factor that into cost effectiveness.

[gablison]

@AdIgnorantiam

I love leftovers! i make sure i have leftovers every time i cook!

[miamiwax]

@JohnnyTheRavenous i feel u but this is a 3 course meal for 4 people.

[kyle2494]

Omg its pronounced HERB not "erb".

[cksk356]

I wouldn't call this low budget! How many people spend $40 on one meal for their family of 4?

[SaviourSole]

She took the money and ran!

[beginnings4thee]

@cksk356 exactly!!

[bluehoneycomb]

Could you use ricotta instead of goat cheese? Ricotta is WAY cheaper!

[ricoismybitch]

sufferin succotash !!!!!!!!!

[DessertDivaFL]

I guess if you look at it this way:

Eating a 3-course meal at home $40 for 4 people

vs.

Eating a 3-course meal out in a restaurant $60+

[greling]

WTF? $40 a "shoestring" budget? That's almost how much I spent on groceries for the whole week and I live in California, the most expensive state!

[SheaBierman]

I think she is making a meal for entertaining in the summer. It's not cheap, but it is healthy and not too expensive.

[LadyCaylith]

In all honesty, I'd NEVER be able to live like that.. I mean with those sorts of meals. Not many families can. 40 dollars for ONE meal?

Good grief, that's nearly half of my food budget for 2 weeks.. 2 WEEKS!

Try living in the real world, lady.

[clarencejustin]

well that's you..some vegeterian people could appreciate her recipes..sad to say you didn't. Oh yeah! it's $40 for three meals serving four people. Look at the table she has plenty ingerdients. And being healthy is part of real world.

[LadyCaylith]

"We gave you a $40.00 budget to create a 3 course meal."

NOT 3 seperate meals.

Secondly, who on earth said I wasn't healthy or conscious about what I eat? I'M VEGAN! Get your facts right and don't make assumptions about someone you never have never will meet!

Honestly.. some people amaze me with their attitudes and assumptions.

[peanuts8]

she looks like snow white but she does give good tips about eating the right type of food, so she's helpful in that way, but she looks like she could be on a disney float waving as snow white, i mean can't yall see it!?!

[1yK3Y4]

$40 is kind of a lot...

[MikeyDono]

ellie looks mmm mmm good, and so does her food ^^

[six2112]

She makes the most unappetizing crap. But I'll bet she likes to have her ass played with so she's not all bad.

[beckytee671]

She looks NOTHING like Ashley Judd! Ashley is exquisite and elegant and perfection and Ellie's just...ok. However, I do love her show!=)

[naz220]

Ellie is great. I like her healthy recepies.

[brandystoy]

Her husband is so lucky.

[naomiJJ777]

[macdonnachaidh]

She is very pretty, she reminds me of Ashley Judd.

[naomiJJ777]

[macdonnachaidh]

She very pretty, reminds me of Ashley Judd.

[lovewater1]

I love Ellie!
