budget friendly meals:)

I look through my store's flyer each week and then make a list for the week of recipes I can make cheap with what is on sale. We do a lot of Chili, I use a lot of beans and corn and the meat sorta as a flavoring. I also make a really big batch and freeze some for a week our budget is really bad or I just have a day I cannot cook. Cabbage is usually cheap so I do a lot of cooking with it from soups to casseroles. Rice is cheap so it is a starch we use a lot as well.

Hmmm, what meals......I usually having an instant noddle which are quiet cheap here (around a buck each)..... other think is maybe having a sandwich consist of eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, and tomatoes sauce. BR.b

Pasta! Pasta primavera with lots of green veggies or tuna noodle casserole. Or a pot of pinto beans. I don't salt food when I cook it, but sometimes I add a can of something seasoned to it. For instance, I might put a can of no-bean chili into my big pot of beans. The ground chicken or turkey could go in the beans, too. Another favorite is shepard pie, at least that is what we used to call it...mashed potatoes(or biscuit) piped around ground beef and green beans or whatever and then heated in the oven to crisp the top. Comfort food! Oooh, speaking of comfort food, dumplings over a boned stewed chicken, and I healthy up the dumplings by using some whole grains and flax seed (and herbs) in the mix.

I had a few recent posts on this, Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, w/ mashed potatoes and corn. Swedish Meat balls over egg noodles, I'll also get polish sausage and make German style potatoe pancakes, Pot roast,w/ potatoes, carrots, onions and celery. Any Mexican food, I live here now, is cheap, with beans and rice! Go for it! tdemex
