No meal tonight from me! Nana treated us to a quick dinner out at a nearby Mexican restaurant. And it’s back to the writing board for me!
Please leave a link to your frugal meal from this week in the comments section…as I don’t trust Mr. Linky! I think he is the cause of my site loading poorly these days. Am investigating!

Hey Erin!
Got a great deal on pork shoulder this week ($1 a pound), and made this fabulous Slow Roasted Pork. Have many delicious plans this week for the leftovers

Have a great week!
Hi Erin,
Thanks for hosting. We have fish tacos on the menu:
Fish Tacos
Hace you looked up angelfood.com.I received a brocure saying feed you family for $4.30 a day. Maybe you can see what they offer and make up some dinners
I made these tonight. I think in order to make the recipe it does come over $5, but it’s definitely under $10, and the recipe generally feeds our family of 5(2 adults, 3 children ages 8,6 and 4) for two meals. Especially if I use whole wheat flour.
Enjoy!
Oops! Somehow my link didn’t make it on there for the Runza Recipe–here it is now!

Here’s a cheap, vegetarian, healthy and easy one: Pesto Pasta: http://www.coupons-feed-u.com/?p=1339, we usually just add some sliced tomatoes from our garden for a side dish.

Here’s a link to my recipe for sun dried tomato crusted chicken with balsamic glazed onions and cream sauce. The main dish is only $.78 / serving which leaves plenty of room for a variety of side dishes. yummmmm!
Whoops – here’s the link:

Here are two recipes, one for a cream of summer squash soup that using frozen squash from my garden cost about $1.25 to feed a family of seven. The other is for a garden frittata that also uses garden veggies and costs about $1.50.

I am glad you got a night off (at least from cooking).
Here is a link to a one dish dinner that I call Kitchen Garden Skillet:
http://premeditatedleftovers.blogspot.com/2009/06/kitchen-garden-skillet-recipe.html
Full of omega-3 fats, uses leftover vegetables, repurposes stale bread and heels…salmon patties, cream of vegetable soup and biscuits for $4.25 for 6 people. http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/06/09/recipe-connection-salmon-patties/
I don’t have a meal to post, but have you checked out the Firefox extension YSLOW? It’s pretty useful in figuring out why a website loads slowly. Just a thought!
I posted the recipe for Babushka Soup a while ago (‘babushka’ is grandmother in Russian). It’s tomato juice-based vegetable soup with beef & barley, practically a meal in itself. A pot comes in at around $5, but makes at least two meals and a few lunches, so I’m sure it qualifies.
The recipe is at http://fourandahalfchickens.blogspot.com/2009/05/cooking-with-whole-grains-1-barley_20.html
once again found sale on hamburger and a great recipe check this out http://shopannies.blogspot.com/2009/06/we-love-cheeseburgers-and-sloppy-joes.html
New to your website but love the idea! Here is another meal for you – this one costs about $3.00 to make and is about $0.50 per serving.
Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked and rinsed lentils
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
3 cup sliced carrots
1 lb swiss chard, cleaned and chopped
1 lb kale, cleaned and chopped
3 cups water
1 packet reduced sodium onion soup mix
Directions: Place all ingredients in large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook until rice is done, 20 to 30 minutes.
My 18 month old daughter loves this meail. I have made with both the rice and quinoa…love quinoa. Hope you enjoy!
running late for the $5 challenge. here’s a flexible idea for using up leftovers and coming in on budget. my family calls it pasta with stuff and it was $2.40 for a family of 4 tonight.

Yummy and cheap Spinach, Bacon, and Fried Egg Salad…probably less than $5 for a family of four- especially when you use garden spinach!
