What's for din? 4.16.2024

Well, this is the frugalist of all dinners. We are staying at one of the houses on Chris' families property while we wait to be able to repair our house etc. Since we are spending so much time/money etc on medical stuff right now, and work hasn't quite kicked back up for him. There are projects up here we can do and some other maintenance things that we can work on up here. But that is all besides the point, money is tight to non existent at this moment in time. I have some freelance articles in and there is work over the next couple of days that we will get paid for when it is done. But until then, we are very thankful that Chris' grandma had three whole pantries which she kept well stocked. She passed away in January so all the pantry items have just been left to sit, when we went and saw Chris' mom she told us that we needed to go over and go through the freezers and pantries and see if there was anything we needed/ or could use. With the price of groceries, and our waiting on paycheck situation we jumped at the chance. Chris has been asking for spam and yams for awhile now. Which is a dish that his grandma taught me to make. Well I guess there wasn't really any teaching, there are only two things in the dish. BUT, anyway. You cube up spam and mix it and a can of yams in a baking dish, we usually put brown sugar on top of it. But I didn't grab any, and we don't have any. So it was super simple tonight. I also grabbed a box of elbow noodles, a jar of 3 Cheese Ragu sauce and some Velveeta, with the milk and butter that I had in the fridge- I made my own mac and cheese sauce. Well cheater sauce, but I guarentee you it was better than the Ragu would of been by itsself. I of course made way too much mac and cheese. But it'll freeze for later, or Rebel will eat it tomorrow. So that was our FREE meal. I'm getting back in the habit of taking pictures with meals again, probably because I am actually able to make meals again! I love it! I forgot how much I missed cooking. So that's what's for dinner here. What is going on at your house?
