Need ideas for inexspensive Easter dinner to feed 25 people!

Well once again another holiday is approaching at rapid speed and that means I have to get my butt in hyperdrive to clean up the house and crank out food for 25 people that will be coming to my house for lunch on Easter Sunday. If anyone has some ideas about what I can make for next to nothing please send them my way. We have the protein taken care of, Daniel is going to smoke a few whole chickens and we'll get a small ham but I need ideas on what I can make as side dishes.

I saved 92% at Walgreens today!


This week is a great week to try out Walgreen's. There are tons of freebies and money makers. I just got back from an awesome trip. Let me tell you how I did.
I got $261.95 in product. I saved $239.92! My out of pocket was $22.03 plus $16.54 in tax for a total of $38.57. I saved a total of 92%!!! Yippee!!!


I bought *8 Dulcolax Balance $10.00 each
Used (2) $4/1 IP
(6) $3/1 Hangtags on products
There is a $10.00 RR being printed for each one of these so this gave me a $26 overage! Please note you can only buy one of these per transaction to get RR and that you can not use the $10RR to buy the next one. Check out my scenarios below to see how it's done.

*7 Simply Saline $7.00 each
Used (7) $1/1 Q from SS 1/24, 11/15/09, 10/18/09
There is a $7.00 RR being printed for each one of these so this gave me a $7.00 overage! Please note you can only buy one of these per transaction to get RR and that you can not use the $7RR to buy the next one. Check out my scenarios below to see how it's done.

*8 Smart Waters $1.29 each
Used (8) $2.00/1 Water if you purchase Dulcolax Balance Hangtag
This coupon is not specific to Smart water. Any water could be purchased. There are some that are cheaper. I bought this one because it comes in a sports squirt top bottle. It is great for the kids. I made a $5.68 overage on these. Please note that this has to be purchased in conjunction with a bottle of Dulcolax. The register will beep when you make this purchase and your cashier will have to manually key in the coupon.

*2 Children's Benadryl Melt Aways $4.99 each
Used (2) $1.50 IP
There is also a coupon you can stack with this in the Walgreens childrens coloring book if you have one. I have yet to find them so I just did the $1.50 off.
There is a $5RR printing on the purchase of two Benadryl childrens products. My total was $6.98 plus I got back $5 RR so it was like paying $1.98/2!

*1 Dove Conditioner $4.00
Used (1) $2/1 Dove Hair care product IP (no more prints)
There is a $4 RR printing for this. This is a rolling register reward and there are coupons in this weeks paper so I am planning to go back and get more.

*1 Dentek Floss 55 yards $2.00
Used (1) $1.00/1 IP
There is a $2 RR printing on this purchase so it makes it free plus a $1.00 overage.


I also bought 15 Chattanooga Times Freepress as filler items. They are $1.00 each at Walgreens and it is something I needed anyways.

Other filler items were a paperback book ($7.99), petroleum jelly ($4.29), Misc. easter basket items ($10.50)

I still have $20.00 in Register Rewards that I plan to use to start the Dove rolling haircare transaction and buy some more easter basket goodies and maybe some cokes and cottonelle.

There are so many great ways to make money at Walgreen's this week I am sure I will make several trips back there this week. I did 16 transaction today and usually I will do no more than four. I would like to thank Morgan my fabulous cashier over in cosmetics for allowing me to do this and never getting impatient with me. I stopped twice an let other customers go ahead and check out and took a brief break to regroup and take my stuff to the car. It was an awesome trip!

Here are a few scenarios to get you started:

You’ll end up with $14 in RR, Spent $3.61 out of pocket (OOP) & You have $47.36 worth of product! Woo Hoo! :-)

If you don’t have the CAB coupon, skip the last transaction. And remember, I don’t include tax because tax rates and what’s taxed is differerent everywhere. Hope this helps!

This weeks menu 3/24-3/30

Wednesday

Grilled Cheese Burgers on Onion Bagels

Ingredients
2lbs. ground beef
2tsp. onion powder
2tsp. Lawry's seasoning salt
ground black pepper
1Tbsp.Worcestershire sauce
Mix ingredients together and divide into 4 patties. Place on pre-heated grill and cook until desired doneness. I melted sharp cheddar cheese on top. We did not have hamburger buns but I did have some onion bagels that I got for $.4 cents (that made them taste extra yummy :) Served with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickle spears, and all the other necessary condiments. We had some yummy whole grain chips I got on BOGO at Earthfare to go with it.

Dessert by the fire

Since it was such a lovely day outside yesterday, Daniel made a fire in the chimanea on the deck last night. I whipped up some caramel popcorn and we just sat out there enjoying some time away from the TV until the flames died out. It was a great evening.

Homemade Caramel Popcorn with Peanuts


makes about 6 cups, since this is so delicious I doubled the recipe in order to have some leftover for today. I would suggest you pop the popcorn in two batches if you are doubling the recipe and use a large stockpot for the sugar. Trust me it is so worth the effort. Just be careful it is so very very hot!

adapted from foodnetwork.com

Ingredients

2 cups sugar

2/3 cup water

1 tablespoon butter

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup roasted peanuts

1/2 cup roasted almonds ( I omitted this, Daniel hates almonds with a passion)

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn

1/4 cup canola oil

1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, depending on how salty you like your life

bowl of ice water

This recipe requires that you work quickly and carefully. I don’t want you to hurt yourself. ok?

First, make the popcorn. Place oil in a medium to large saucepan over medium high heat. Add one kernel of corn and cover pan. When the single kernel pops, add the 1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn and cover. Use a pot holder to lightly shake the pan as the corn pops. When the popping stops, turn of the heat, remove the pot from the burner and shake the popcorn into a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 to 1 teaspoons of sea salt… depending on how salty you like your popcorn. Set popped popcorn aside.

Prepare a bowl of ice water and set aside. If you get any hot sugar syrup on your body. Ouch. Stick it in ice water… fast.

Measure out the butter, vanilla extract, nuts and salt. Set aside. In a medium saucepan add the sugar. Pour the water into the pan with the sugar, but pour the water towards the side of the pan… not directly on top of the sugar. Mark an X with your finger through the sugar and water.

Place saucepan over medium-high heat and let cook. Swirl the pan every few minutes Swirl, don’t stir. The sugar and water will cook down and bubble and slowly begin to caramelize. The process takes 20-30 minutes of cooking and swirling. Be patient but keep an eye on it. At the 20 minute mark, you’ll begin to smell caramelization. When the sugar reaches a caramel color, remove from the heat. Add the butter and vanilla extract. The mixture will bubble up. Give it a few good swirls.

Working quickly and carefully pour the hot caramel mixture over the popcorn. If any hot caramel gets on your skin, immediately immerse in the bowl of ice water. Ouch! With two spatulas stir until most of the popcorn is covered in hot caramel. Carefully pour out onto a silpat or parchment paper. Break up any large clumps with the spatula, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sea salt and let come to room temperature.

Thanks! Joy the Baker


Thursday


I awoke this morning to Betty Crocker (Skye the muffin maker) in the kitchen making blueberry muffins from our huge stockpile of Krusteaz muffin mix. Well now that breakfast is out of the way lets move on to dinner. Mathis woke up this morning and one of the first things he said to me was, can we have dumplings tonight. Of course I want to make him happy so dumplings it is.

Chicken and Dumplings


Ingredients

* 3 boneless chicken breasts
* 1 celery ribs, sliced
* 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
* 1 medium onion, diced

* 3 (32 ounce) containers chicken broth
* 2 tablespoons dried thyme
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2-1 teaspoon pepper


DUMPLINGS (Next time I am going to double this part of the recipe. Everyone was fighting over the dumplings. Clearly there was not enough to feed the 6 of us)

* 2 cups flour
* 4 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 cup milk

Directions

1.
Cook chicken over low heat, covered for one to two hours until very tender in 64 ounces of chicken broth or water.

2. Remove chicken from pot and let cool.

3.
Put sliced vegetables in chicken broth and let cook until tender.
( I let it cook for 30 minutes)
4.
Shred or dice chicken and return to pot.
5.
Add aditional container of chicken stock and let it heat through.
6.
Add more salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
7.
Add thyme
8.
In a mixing bowl, combine dumpling ingredients and mix well to form a stiff dough.
9.
Drop by tablespoonfuls into simmering soup.
10.
Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
11.
Serve immediately.
12.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
13.
*SOUTHERN STYLE DUMPLINGS (heavier and chewier) 2 cups flour, 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 beaten eggs. Combine flour, broth, baking powder and eggs; mix well to form a stiff batter. Drop by tablespoonfuls into simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Jerk Pork Tenderloin

Juicy, grilled pork tenderloin gets a burst of flavor from an herb-packed marinade (cilantro! parsley! thyme!) that also has hints of orange juice and brown sugar for an unexpectedly sweet touch.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

* 1 cup olive oil , plus more for grill
* 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
* 1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley , leaves only
* 1 bunch fresh cilantro , leaves only
* 1 bunch whole scallions , coarsely chopped
* 2 medium coarsely chopped shallots
* 1 piece (2 inches) fresh ginger , peeled and coarsely chopped
* 3 Tbsp. white wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar
* 2 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
* 1/2 habanero chili or 1 jalapeño chili , coarsely chopped (with seeds)
* 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
* 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
* 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
* 1/4 tsp. ground allspice
* 2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each), trimmed of silver skin
* 1 tsp. kosher salt

Directions:

Put all ingredients (except pork tenderloins and salt) in a blender and puree until smooth.

Put tenderloins in a large ziploc food storage bag. Pour half the marinade over pork; seal bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

When ready to grill pork, preheat a gas grill or a ridged grill pan to medium, or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill, letting coals burn until covered with white ash. Take reserved marinade out of the refrigerator. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and bring to room temperature by letting it sit while grilling pork.

Remove pork from marinade and brush off herbs and spices. Discard marinade in bag.

Sprinkle tenderloins with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Oil the grill rack. Grill tenderloins (turning them at least 4 times to ensure even cooking), 18 to 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each reads 145°; the meat should still be faintly pink and juicy. Transfer to a carving board and let rest 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. Divide among 4 plates and serve with reserved marinade as a sauce.

I am serving this with Uncle Ben's 90 sec Rice Pilaf, Grilled Pineapple, and ????

Saturday

Pot Roast Sandwiches


Jennie's Italian Beef

2-3 lb. Beef Shoulder Roast


1 jar Pepperoncini Peppers

1 Package AuJus Seasoning Mix

Hoagie Rolls

Trim fat from roast. Place roast in crock pot, cover with pepperoncini peppers (in liquid). Cook 8 hours on low. Remove peppers (I usually save the jar in the morning and put the peppers back in it to throw them away in). Shred beef and mix in AuJus Seasoning. Cook another 30 minutes on low in crock pot. Serve on hoagie rolls. YUMMMMMM!

Cut sweet potatoes in wedges or like french fries.
3.
Place wedges on large baking pan or cookie sheet. Pour over olive oil, and toss to mix.
4.
Now sprinkle over brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat wedges.
5.
Spread out in a single layer. Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes, then take out and turn wedges over.
6.
Place back in oven and bake another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7.
Sprinkle with extra kosher salt to taste. The cooking time will depend on how big the wedges are. Enjoy!
8.
Note: These are also good with a little ground cumin sprinkled with the other seasonings. Have fun and experiment!

Sunday

Breakfast

Ingredients

* 1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounces)
* Butter, for pan
* 8 large eggs
* 2 cups half-and-half
* 1 cup milk
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* Dash salt

Directions

Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch thick each. (Use any extra bread for garlic toast or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 45 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with Raspberry Syrup.
Praline Topping:

1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1 cup chopped pecans

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Spread over bread as directed above.
Raspberry Syrup:

1 cup raspberry preserves

3 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur (recommended: Framboise)(I am going to omit this part)

Combine ingredients in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir until warm and thinned out like syrup.

Wow this is going to be rich. Definitely not something we will eat everyday but it is great on occasion.

Taco Puffs
I know this kind of seams like another meal in itself but, my kids don't always eat soup that well so I am going to make this as an alternative option/ side item plus I can make a batch with faux meat for Evie and some extras she can take for school lunch.

I plan to at least double this recipe but since I am serving it as a side dish I will skimp on the meat a little.

Ingredients
6 refrigerated biscuits
3 cups taco meat (approx. 1/4 cup per puff)
1-1/2 cups shredded cheese
lettuce (optional)
sour cream (optional)
salsa (optional)
olives (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin. Take 6 refrigerated biscuits and half them horizontally. Take each half and flatten out with your hands and press into 12 greased muffin cups to form "shells". Put approximately 1/4 cup taco meat in each cup (the Pampered Chef Large Scoop works great for this!) Top each puff with shredded cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden around the edges. Let the puffs rest in the pan for at least 5 minutes before removing. Top with desired toppings.

Thanks! Fairhope Foodie

I hope this inspires you to cook something tasty this week. I hope to post pictures as I cook this week so keep checking back!

Publix Shopping Trip 3/18/10

I have to admit I was not fully prepared for tonights shopping trip and neither was Publix. They were out of so many things on my list and it was closing time and I really didn't want the customer service lady to write rain checks out for the rest of the night. I got two and decided that would have to do. I usually do my shopping on Sundays but I really needed to go ahead and get the BP gift card today. Here is what I got...



2 Rip It Energy Drink 4pks.
2 V8 Fusion Strawberry Banana Juices
2 Rosetto Frozen Ravioli
2 Rosetto Frozen Manicotti
1 Pint of Strawberries
2 Sue Bee Squeeze Honey
2 Taco Bell Dinner Kits
2.26lbs. Bananas
3 6pks. Jello Mousse
2 24ct. Bayer Asprin
1 Pound of Cabot Butter
2 Simply Microwave Potatoes
1 Simply Orange OJ
12 Yoplait Yogurts
1 Yoplait Greek Yogurt (FREE $$$Money Maker +.55 cents)
1 Mahatma Rice (FREE + $.1 cent money maker)
3 Lance Crackers
1 Lenders Bagels ($.4 cents)

Total Spent $28.89
Total Saved $72.92
Percentage Saved 72%
Money left in budget for this week $71.11

While at Publix tonight I also took advantage of the $10 off $50 BP Gas Gift Card with a $25 dollar grocery purchase. You must have the in-ad coupon to participate in this deal. I did not include this deal in the spent and save section above since this money is separate from my grocery budget of $100.00.
If you are going to Publix this week be sure to check this deal out. Who does not want $10.00 in FREE gas? The gift card can be used at the pump just like a debit card.

Weekly Menu 3/14-3/20

A new week is approaching and that means countless meals will have to be planned and prepared. I will give you a few recipes each week to help utilize sale items and cook great food for less money.

Sunday

Steak and Chicken Fajitas

Grilled Tri-tip Steak and Chicken Breasts.
Cut up green and red bell peppers and cooked those on the grill.
Served with sour cream, guacomole, shredded cheese, refried beans, mexican rice, and salsa. It was pretty yummy.

Monday

Pork Short Ribs


Ingredients

4 pounds pork spareribs
1-1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup barbeque sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon and 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 dash hot pepper sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons steak sauce, (e.g. Heinz 57)
1 clove garlic, minced

Directions
This recipe's Ingredients were scaled to yield a new amount. The directions below still refer to the original recipe yield of 8 servings.

1. Place the ribs in a large stock pot with enough water to cover. Bring the water to a boil and cook over medium-high heat for 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. In medium saucepan, combine ketchup, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, steak sauce and garlic; blend well. Cook the sauce over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes. (Please note that the above ingredients are all to taste. Use more or less of anything you like. I never make the ribs the same way twice!)
4. Cut the ribs between the bones and place in a baking pan. Pour sauce over ribs, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes.

These are soooo good! I am going to serve them with the BirdsEye Steamers Corn on the Cob, BirdsEye Green Beans, Mac and Cheese with Cauliflower, and Coles Texas Toast.


Tuesday


Chicken Tetrazzini

Ingredients
9 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2-1/4 teaspoons salt
1-1/4 teaspoons pepper
1 lb. white mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, room temperature (2 % would suffice)
1 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
1 cup chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
12 ounces linguine
3/4 cup frozen peas
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Spread 1 tablespoon butter over a 13 X 9 baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-sized pices and put in a large bowl. **You could totally skip this step and grill the chicken breasts or use 1 rotisserie chicken**

Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken broth and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture into the bowl with the chicken.

Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1-3/4 teaspoons salt and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil (watch this though and don't let it boil over!) Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until it is al dente (tender but still firm to the bite), about 9 minutes. Drain. Add the linguine, sauce and peas (I totally forgot to add these!) to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.

Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the pasta. Dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes.

Wednesday

Chicken Pot Pie


Filling ingredients:
6 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/4 cups)
3 carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
3/4 cup green peas, frozen or fresh
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Boneless Chicken Breasts

Topping:
Crescent Rolls
Egg wash
1 egg whisked with 1 Tbsp water


Preheat oven to 300°F.
Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. (I Use Lawry's seasoning salt). Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, then sear meat in hot olive oil in a skillet on both sides (just to lock in flavor - not to cook the meat). When chicken is removed bump the heat up to 350 F
Remove from stove top and place chicken on a broiling pan in a pre-heated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
Remove chicken from oven and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes to allow all the meat to cool, then strip chicken meat from bones in bite sized pieces. Set chicken aside.

Prepare the filling. In a large skillet, melt butter on medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, one minute more. Whisk in 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock. Whisk in the milk. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the chicken meat, thyme, peas, parsley, salt and pepper and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Now add the chicken to the vegetables and sauce.

Any kind of pre-made pie crust will work, but Crescent Rolls can be relied upon for a good result. Press the Crescent Rolls into a large, deep, casserole dish, making sure that no seams are present. Then pour or scoop filling into dish, filling in all pockets.

Cover with remaining Crescent Rolls, Use a pastry brush to apply an egg wash to pie. Bake at 350°F for approximately 12 to 15 minutes.

This recipe serves 6. I plan to make four batches and take three of the pies to a inner city church ministry for their Wednesday night dinner.

Thurday

Meatloaf, cauliflower mac and cheese, Steamers corn, pinto beans, jiffy cornbread

Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
DON'T BE SCARED! IT IS DELICIOUS!

Ingredients

* 12 ounces elbow macaroni
* 1 head cauliflower, roughly chopped
I am using frozen cauliflower steamers since I have some on hand
* 4 bread, torn or enough pre-made breadcrumbs to cover top
* 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* kosher salt and black pepper
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 1 1/2 cups grated extra-sharp Cheddar (6 ounces)
* 1 1/2 cups reduced-fat sour cream
* 1/2 cup 1 percent milk
* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400° F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, adding the cauliflower during the last 3 minutes of cooking time; drain.
2. Meanwhile, pulse the bread in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Add the parsley, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and pulse to combine; set aside.
3. Return the pasta pot to medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the onion, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, just until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in the pasta, cauliflower, cheese, sour cream, milk, and mustard.
4. Transfer to a shallow 3-quart baking dish, sprinkle with the bread crumbs, and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

The Shopping Doldrums

You know I am just really not feeling any of the grocery store ad sales this week. I don't know if it is because Daniel cleaned out all of the cabinets and I realized just how much food I had packed away in there or if I am just in a shopping slump. I really need to save some money over the next few weeks until Daniel goes back to work so I think I will try and buy only a few filler items and wait until Wednesday and see if some better sales come. Our only real need is diaper wipes. I can't believe we even ran out but we did. So this afternoon in the rain I will venture out to pick some up and maybe a few other necessities like milk and sour cream.

The Challenge

I have been seriously couponing for about six months now. In the past I used tons of coupons but I often left them at home or did not plan my shopping to coincide with my coupons and sales. Since I started really planning my attack I have cut my grocery expenses in half and have more food and supplies (meds,ponytail holders, TP, napkins....) then ever before. In the good old days before the economy took a turn for the worse and Daniel was laid off for almost a year I did not really have a set budget but I typically spent $250 a week and more if I went to Sam's. I still shopped at several stores in order to get the best deal but I just was not planning how to use my coupons to save me the most money.Since I started using coupons I typically spend $150 a week but I get way more than I did when I spent $250. As a result my pantry is bulging and I have two refrigerators full of stuff. So I am challenging myself to cut my expenses each week since I really don't need anything else. My new budget will be $100 a week for groceries and drugstores. We will see how this goes and I hope to reduce this to $75 a week in the future. Remember that we are a family of six and my husband is quite the foodie so his grocery list tends to cost me more money but I hope to prevail. I will keep you posted with my spending each week and how I do.
