First, the pork loin from Fred Meyer was nasty. My granddaughter got it out to help me , so I proceeded to cut it. It was fine for the first 12 Pork chops. The rest presented fat all the way through the middle. I was intending to make it a roast. I wound up making stew meat.
I am sitting at 56.63 a week for the year. (4 months) thats .63 a week more than the proverbial 4.00 a day. Considering that we bought a bulk lot of both boneless, skinless chicken breast and 80/20 hamburger, that isn’t a bad average.
Meals.....we use a protein based matrix to expedite the processs. Being as efficient as you can in both plannng and scratch cooking, makes groceries on the cheap possible while maintaining a quality balanced diet.
- Chllli, tortilla chips
- Pizza, salads
- Pork stew, rolls
- Tuna melts., roasted carrot and tomato soup
- Chicken enchaladas, salad
- Chicken nuggets, oven baked fries, vegetable platter.
- Breakfast for dinner.
Notes: We hae an abundance of English muffins, egg muffins and tuna melts are a good way to use them up.
Chilli is easy one pot meal in the insta pot. Make beans, drain, put pot on sauté and cook meat if not already cooked, and add tomatoes, seasonings.
Pizza is a dollar a pizza, so its an inexpensive meal that is a hit with everyone. A homemade pizza crust takes minutes and cost .19.
Pork stew is from the pork loin I purchased and is also a insta pot meal.
Somewhere, I have a recipe for roasted carrot and tomato soup.
Chicken nuggets are from the tenderloin and are homemade with a breading of bread crumbs (homemade) chopped nuts, and parm cheese. (Real cheese) . Chopped nuts are cheaper in the bulk isle at winco.
Breakfast for Dinner is a family affair, everyone cooks.
Thanks for stopping by.....
