Because her middle class audience are the type of people who think the "poor" are feckless, thick idiots who only know how to cook oven chips and therefore need blatantly obvious things like pasta and peas pointed out to them.Surely everyone already does things like pasta and peas if that's all they have. I've made similar things many times, it's just using common sense really. Goodness knows how she built a career out of it, that's the thing I can never understand.
It all fits into the narrative of "You can live on £20 a week, if you aren't you're just not trying hard enough" that she also encourages through her ridiculous £20 shops (of course the cabal and questioning squigs know that she uses stuff outwith the shops but the audience she's going for won't check). AND her constant posts about £34 in her bank account and not having wifi and Netflix and whatever else she's claiming this week then managing to buy X luxury ingredient/hats/sideboards also play into the same stereotype - look at all she accomplishes with £34 cos she's cut out stuff so anyone who is struggling just mustn't be doing that. Never mind that wifi is basically essential for claiming all benefits if you live somewhere that doesn't have fab phone signal indoors or that the kids need it for school work and Netflix helps fill the time hole of all the lessons and extra-curricular activities Jack had as a child, and I'm sure SB is lucky enough to benefit from, that actual poor people can't fucking afford.
She's vile and she's playing right into every single stereotype she claims not to, and is constantly absolutely shitting on the very people she's claiming to help but the audience she has laps it right up to make themselves feel better and that's how she's got her career. She's no better than Hopkins or Mogg - in fact, at least they have the slight redemption that they're honest about who they are rather than being snobby by stealth like Jack.
