Welcome to Frugal Workshop where every Monday I share the simple strategies used to save money in my kitchen over the past week, along with the meals that made it to our dinner table. You'll find practical tips on how we saved money on food hopefully to inspire your own meal planning using the foods you have in your own pantry.
Use It Up Item Of The Week
I made chili this past week, so I was able to use up two cans of tomatoes and two cans of beans from my pantry.
What’s for Dinner
Monday ~ Leftovers
We have a choice of Beefy Baked Beans or Egg Roll in a Bowl from the weekend, so we will use those up, get a "free" dinner out of them and not waste any food. This was served this with roasted sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli.
Tuesday ~ Movie Night for Bailey who had a spicy chickens sandwich while I had macaroni and cheese.
Wednesday & Friday ~ Homemade Chili
Using another pound of ground turkey (79 cents/pound) from the freezer, I made chili for dinner. I grated up three onions, garlic, and a zucchini, so it had a lot of vegetables and fiber in it, making it a healthy option. The zucchini made it taste sweet, which we really liked.
Thursday ~ Spicy Chicken Sandwiches
It was a long day with a trip to Chattanooga and the aquarium and then coming home to the neighbors working on the tree, so I jumped into help with what I could do too. So dinner was easy with spicy chicken sandwiches for Bailey and just regular chicken for me.
Saturday ~ BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
My blood sugar was all over the place this day, so I made an easy dinner and didn't go get free vegetables because I was unsteady. I'll go on Monday when they're open again.
Sunday ~ Salmon Patties, Caramelized Sweet Potatoes, and Steamed Broccoli.
