“I just used what I already had on hand for the apps to clean out the fridge and not buy more ingredients,” she said, showing off the appetizers she made with apricots and ricotta cheese.
She also decided to use frozen pizzas that she was gifted as the main dish and made pasta using ingredients she had in her home.
“Since I work practically every weekend this summer, I love doing fun dinners like this during the week with my friends.”

Meredith also mentioned that the dinner fed nine people and only cost $75 to prepare, including the cost of the pizzas that were technically free.

She also suggests the best and cheapest way to eat lobster – by preparing them yourself.

After bringing salted water to a boil and cooking the lobster for 12-18 minutes, depending on the size, Meredith explains how to break down the lobster to get its meat.
“For tools, you’ll need a mallet, kitchen shears, lobster crackers, a fork and, most importantly, a dish towel.”
She shows the audience how to remove the tails and legs of the lobster as well as its organs.

When the lobster was prepared, Meredith said she intentionally undercooked it by a few minutes so she could finish cooking them in chili garlic butter that she prepared.
