Budget friendly, Yummy recipes!

Last week after having my husband very..... hmm.... whats the word.....carefully, yeah I'll stick with that, tell me that he was tired of eating the same things for dinner I went on a hunt for some new recipes.

He most likely said this because for the past four months I have been cooking the same five recipes and having a lot of "whatever" nights.

So where do I go when I need to solve my marital woes, whatever they may be, the internet of course!

After looking through countless recipes that required fancy oils  and/or fifty million different ingredients that I do not have, I believe I hit the jackpot with this collection of budget friendly, yummy, and simple to make dinners.

When I saw a gallery of recipes titled "15 dinners under $1.50" {a serving} I let out a little squeal.

Check out some of the other recipes under different galleries or just other cool stuff on this website  http://family.go.com/food/

 I did not say these are low calorie recipes, BUT you can cut down on the bad stuff significantly by using low fat or fat free options for a lot of stuff. I also added more fresh veggies to recipes like the Almost Lasagna {that has been my fave so far} I also used whole wheat pasta in that.

Of course being the great bad blogger that I am {ha} I forgot to provide you with a Pioneer Woman style, step-by-step, perfected, photo recipe tutorial.{Whoa, that was a mouthful} Sorry ladies, I am sure you are very upset with me.

Any ways so far I have made the, almost lasagna, salmon cakes, Asian lettuce wraps, the creamy chicken and rotini primavera, and the cheeseburger pie. {which was surprisingly good}

Now ladies will you do me a favor before you go?

 Huh, huh will ya???

Tell me what your favorite recipe on a budget is?

I have seen Mel at the Larson Lingo do this before and then a few days ago I just happened to stumble upon the website. Let me just say I have looked at a few other posts linked up and they are amazing!

Here's my ten on ten.......

 

Bag to donate to Goodwill, finally cleaned and organized my closet.

{notice Madi stealing the flowers}

The everyday.

She loves drinking from a big girl cup

please excuse this monstrosity of a picture. NO natural light and shaky hands equals seven horrible photos of my sewing machine and a dress I am making for Madison.

Walking to lunch to meet my mom at a local bar and grill.

cool fixtures at every table at the restaurant

checking the mail, her favorite time of the day.

cleaning potties, notice the hideous 80's tile floor. I can't wait to own a house!

Madison noticed this on our afternoon walk.

Doing this truly does open your eyes to what becomes the routine, I am going to pay attention to the small things more often, because the more I pay attention the happier it makes me!

Miscellany Monday!

Another week has come and gone and once again it is time to link up with Carissa at lowercase letters

{one}I have been getting a lot of the below attitude from my 23 month old lately. Now I knew I would be dealing with it and about 12 more years but not now. I mean could she roll those eyes at me any more, I don't think so. We were playing dress up if you can't tell.

{two} We had such a nice family weekend! We stuck around the house most of the day Saturday except for going to the park to let Madison run out some of her never ending energy.

{three} So yeah, I'm not that misc. this week, It's all about my weekend spending time with my little family. On Sunday, we went to the NC museum of natural sciences downtown Madison loves it and it is free. They have a butterfly house that you can go in, with hundreds of butterflies flying all around and a sloth (that is always sleeping).

{four} Worm update: After a major home upgrade, a child constantly wanting to  shake them in their new home and kiss the "cutey" ear worms, they have been released to the wild. (Thank God)

That's all for today, since miss priss is refusing a nap. Talk to you lovely ladies tomorrow.
