Baseball games, after school practice, church youth group, etc., etc. ... It all adds up to a busy family & a Mom scratching her head wondering, "When am I supposed to feed these people?!"
Here are my simple attempts at dinner this week:
Monday, September 21st - Chili Rubbed Salmon with Zucchini & Corn **I love recipes that sound complicated, but in essence are very easy. This is one of those! The Zucchini and Salmon cook together, the corn is a snap. Seriously lots of bang for your buck!**
Tuesday, September 22nd - Tortilla & Black Bean Pie **My husband looked at the name and said, "Oh yeah, that sounds yummy!" in his most sarcastic tone. I told him it was just about the same thing as Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza of yesteryear - now he's sold!**
Wednesday, September 23rd - Spaghetti with Meatballs, Green Beans, and Garlic Bread ... because - when is this ever a bad menu item?!
Thursday, September 24th - Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwiches with SunChips and Coleslaw **hint** watch the video on the link above
Friday, September 25th - Shorty's Diner **we should have a few tasty leftovers - and who knows - maybe we'll go out for ice cream after the game!**
That should do it!
Happy Cooking!

I'm BAAAAAACKKKK!!
I've been M.I.A for a few weeks. Sorry about that - school started ... enough said, right?!
While working on the menu for this upcoming week, I remembered I'd taken a pic of this meal to make a point. Look at this yummy dinner: Pork Loin Chops, Fettuccini Alfredo, fresh Green Beans & Garlic Bread. Guess how much it cost per serving? $0.83. Yes, that is Eighty-three Cents, per serving! My whole family ate dinner for less than $5 AND we had one serving left over for a lunch. Amazing?! AMAZING. I wish I could be this frugal all the time, but it only happens every once in awhile.
I wanted to remind all of you cooking Divas out there to check for good sales, plan well, and most of all - enjoy what you do! I'm not cheap because we "have" to be cheap, but because I like to make our family finances go a little further. It pays off in so many ways!
