Been Awhile

Time to finally update! Thanks to Jen for reminding me :)

I think it would be cool to compile a list of really cheap meals. My friends and I are always looking to shave a little money off our grocery budgets. I will start a list and put the recipes on here as often as I can. Also, if anyone has any cheap meals to add or even cheap foods that are versatile, please comment and I will add them :)

So here goes:

1. White Spaghetti(package of spaghetti or angel hair with butter or oil, grated parmesan, parsley, and garlic.) Sometimes I squeeze a whole lemon into it and add some garlic.

2. Brinner(breakfast for dinner)

3. Mac and Cheese with Turkey Hot Dogs. Yea, not a very adult friendly meal but super cheap and easy! I cut the hot dogs into slices and mix it into the mac and cheese.

4. Stuffed Peppers. I am not a fan of stuffed peppers, but maybe you are?

5. Fried Rice. We have this VERY often.(Simply buy some canned peas and carrots, make rice, fry it up in a pan with oil, crack a couple eggs into the pan and scramble them. Then add soy sauce to taste and garlic powder. EASY)

6. Stir Fry. My husband hates stir fry...lol. But he deals with it every now and then since it is so versatile and cheap to make. I usually buy cabbage to put into it because it is so inexpensive and filling.

7. BUY POTATOES. You can do so much with them. I use them a lot for a filling lunch...I just pop them in the oven with some oil on the skin along with garlic powder and use whatever I have on hand to top them with.

8. Suggestion by Jennifer Teope: Take 1 can salmon or 1 can tuna, a box of mac and cheese, and frozen veggies if you please(haha yea I'm a dork) and you got homemade tuna helper :)

9. Cabbage! David hates cabbage, but it really is a great thing to have around. I made roast cabbage with porkchops tonight and with the leftovers I will make pork stir fry. I still will have cabbage left and with that I will make soup :)


I will be adding to this list as I think of more meals. Again, please feel free to make some suggestions!
