We are excited to introduce a new feature at Stockpiling Moms – A Guide to Frugal Living…our first Meme called Thursday Recipe Spree. We LOVE to cook and enjoying sharing recipes with our readers!
In fact, I taught Family and Consumer Science (Home Economics) for 11 years before leaving my career to stay home with my son. I taught Foods, Culinary Arts, Lifeskills, Nutrition and more! We decided to create this Meme to offer the opportunity for our readers to find even more recipes than what we post and for bloggers a place to link up their recipes that they post.
As a blogger I am always looking for opportunities to link up posts. By participating in a Meme bloggers can gain traffic and by linking up, and all of our readers can find new recipes to enjoy. This Meme/Linky is a great opportunity for all bloggers who post recipes to link their recipes weekly so that we can all enjoy recipe hopping from one recipe to the next. At Stockpiling Moms we normally post Frugal Recipes however there is no requirement that you post a frugal recipe to join our Thursday Recipe Spree.
We have decided to post our Meijer Bargain Meal of the Week as our weekly Thursday Recipe Spree post. However you can simply link any recipe (past or present) to the spree to participate. We simply ask that if you participate that you please link back to Stockpiling Moms – Thursday Recipe Spree. It is optional if you want to use our button or not.
That is it! Pretty simple.
We hope to see you at Stockpiling Moms – Thursday Recipe Spree soon! Come on over, as I’m sure you will find a great recipe!

At the start of this year, I made a goal to save up my Swagbucks and purchase Amazon gift card credits and use them to buy Christmas gifts for friends and family. It looks like I’ll be exceeding my “Christmas goal,” so we have decided to use some of the credit to help get our out of pocket grocery spending even less. There are a few favorite products of ours, like Rice Chex and Annie’s Bunnies snacks, that are on the more expensive side. But I discovered those products on Amazon Grocery…and better yet, some of our faves are on sale for the next week or so!
(I’ve loved being able to get organic maple syrup every 3 months for free using Amazon credit from Swagbucks…and I can’t wait to stock up on some of these goodies below!)

I made up a new word. I think.
I haven’t googled it. And I don’t plan on it. I’m going to play ignorant on this one and just revel in my new word.
Balsam-melized.
Onions. Caramelized. In balsamic vinegar.
Balsam-melized.
Add said onions with some grilled chicken, lettuce (and swiss cheese if you’re not dairy free) in a tortilla…and you’ve got yourself some scrumptious wraps!
I dare you to balsam-melize something.
I double-dog dare you.
(Now there…you have to try it now.)
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced ($2.14) On sale recently for $1.99/lb
1 red onion, sliced into strips ($.80)
1 Tbsp olive oil ($.10)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar ($.35)
Heaping Tbsp sugar ($.03)
Few handfuls green leaf lettuce head, torn ($.25)
8 burrito size tortillas ($1.02)
Green beans from the garden
Directions
1. Grill chicken. This is a perfect meal for batch grilled chicken slices.
2. Let’s move onto the red onions, shall we!? Chop off the top and bottom and slice down the middle in half.
3. Peel away the skin and slice into half-moons.
4. Add to a large skillet with some hot olive oil and saute for 1-2 minutes, separating the half-moons.
5. Add the balsamic vinegar.
6. Add some extra if you like. Now we’ve got the balsam- part done.
7. And for the -melize part to these onions…add a heaping Tbsp of sugar. The tangy balsamic vinegar needs some sweetness to balance the flavors.
8. Toss around…and when it starts to get all bubbly, reduce heat to medium low. (I turned my dial to 4…out of 9.)
9. Let the vinegar reduce. And let the onions take on the sweet and tangy flavor.
10. Once they look like this, and taste like perfection, add them to a chicken wrap. And if you like, add some Swiss cheese.
11. Cook green beans.
12. Serve Chicken Wraps with Balsam-melized Red Onions and Green Beans.
Cost $4.69
