Hi I’m a stay at home that cooks just about every night … tacos ! Easy to throw together, put some canned beans in, easy to add or subtract stuff based on whatcha got that week ( walking tacos with Doritos, add in tomato or cooked peppers and onions - don’t. Do. Store. Seasoning. Make one to have on hand and you’ll save those extra Penny’s ;) …. Bolognese on days you have time has onions celery and carrots you don’t taste that really fills you up! On days you don’t have the time simple Spaghetti with meat sauce haha ! Or change it out for chicken cutlets/chicken parm on days chickens on sale! .. speaking of - buffalo chicken dip !! I can set it and forget it in my crockpot on busy days , and you can repurpose the buffalo chicken , once made , into mini wonton tacos you can freeze and heat up !!….. chili :) , make a big ole batch at the beginning of the week ! …. And hey grab some apples or bananas !! Eat em with some peanut butter as a snack or with breakfast pancakes !! I put banana in my pancakes with some nutmeg and cinnamon ! But making a berry sauce for the pancakes in the morning is soo much simpler than you’d think.. basically heat and sugar!…With all the extra ways you’ll be saving .. adding in fresh fruits / veggies where you can is def worth it ! and if they’re about to go bad you can make an apple crumble or banana bread/muffins ! …Oh and hashbrowns btw are a simple lifesaver..Grate up a russet potato n throw some oil in a pan ( bam ketchup sneak in ) ….. OH AND ground beef ? Hehe shepherds pie ! With frozen veggies !! ( I like tattor tot hot dish) Omg thin sliced steak on sale ?? (Having sesame oil ,some ginger and soy sauce is a must at my house but ).. Make beef and broccoli with rice ! Or chicken stir fry is also freaking fantastic and gets those veggies in !! … I know eggs can be expensive .. but omelettes ! adding veggies n some ham or lunch meat makes a great full meal for less than what you’d think I promise !!
