      This idea has my wheels turning! I think I’ll adapt it somehow. 🙂

      My husband and I play a similar “game”. I come up with a list of 10-12 available ingredients and he picks 2-3 of them. From those ingredients I create dinner. Or I’ll come up with 2 shorter lists (1 protein, 1 starch and/or 1 veggie) and he picks 1 from each. Endless variations of this game.

      Saves $16 and ensures that you have the ingredients selected.

      @Mary:
      Kind of like your own version of “Chopped”? 🙂 I love it..and since my whole family loves that show this would be a super fun way to get everyone thinking! Thanks for a fabulous springboard idea to make dinner more fun during the week!

      Blessings,
      Jenni

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
