I know i am a little late to this one….Does Duffy have a blog? I too have to feed a family of six and am dying trying to get it done. lol. All they do is eat, 4 out of the six are boys, 2 grown and 2 growing. After I go grocery shopping it seems like everything is gone within two weeks or so.

Thanks for the great recipe! I’m new to your site… I made this for dinner tonight – except I put my oven at 375 – I thought 450 would obliterate my bite-size pieces of chicken after 40 minutes. And I did sub for the potatoes like someone else asked about – I just used the veggies in my fridge – brocoli, carrots, zucchini, and red pepper. I’m looking forward to using my leftovers as suggested

@Jodi, I was amazed when we moved to Colorado & found that milk was under $2. I was used to paying over $3 in Maryland.

Price of foods depend and vary greatly on where you live.

I live in Indiana and on sale can sometimes get a gallon of milk for $1.99 on sale at Kroger or Walgreens (on sale usually applies to all fat contents). Not on sale it would run $2.69-$3.39 a gallon depending on brand and fat content.

Eggs depend on the size – Kroger and Walmart run sales on medium and large for $1 a dozen sometimes. The only time I have seen lower than that though at Kroger when the end date is nearing and one time did get those marked down to 75 cents.

Great recipe! I love 2 for 1!!!! I’m low-carb, so I bet you could sub turnips or cauliflower stalks for the potatoes? Kohlrabi also works well (when in season!)

Thanks for al the great recipes!

I LOVE it when you can cook once, and eat twice! Good ideas, Duffy!

$1.99 for a gallon of milk? I live in MS and it’s $3.39. We drink 1%. Price goes up with more fat. And eggs I do not see cheaper than $1/dozen here.
