What a great lineup of eats! I know you lean hard on your Angel Food, as do we!

I also GET IT about the health and financial reasons for cooking at home. Besides, who wants to go out to eat IN THEIR BATHROBE? grin *Who’d appreciate SEEING that kind of outfit? LOL

Sometimes it’s hard for moms to give up the “keys” to the kitchen but delegating is good for everyone. Kids learn; the cook gets a bit of a break and we can be good role models. It’s really important that the next generation learns to be self sufficient and thrifty as well as healthy.

Here’s hoping you are feeling well and strong and better than ever, Carol!

M’mmm! Nine servings for $5.56 and minimal cooking–not bad!!

By planning ahead, and soliciting the family’s help, we are avoiding take out, which I can’t afford for health or financial reasons. here’s what’s been cooking for supper since my surgery:
-beef burgers, canned beans
-fzn AF sloppy joes, salad, a veggie-can’t remember what
-chicken patty sliders, seasoned waffle fries, peas and carrots
-turkey meatloaf (extra for sandwiches), baked potato, peas and mushrooms in garlic sauce
-Af shrimp stir fry kits with leftover veggies tossed in along w/ onions, cabbage, bean sprouts, a small bag of shrimp
-AF meatballs in homemade marinara as grinder sandwiches, salad, corn
-baked whole wheat ziti w/ other day’s leftover sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese; salad, steamed broccoli
-crockpot af pork chops, homemade apple sauce, mashed potatoes with “gravy” on top, Af green beans
-homemade salmon cakes, brown rice, brussel sprouts

Tricks are to get help from others, prep the night before or morning of, keep the menus simple
