Saving Money Ideas

Yay – I am able to post my menu on Monday again!

Tuesday: loaded baked potatoes, fish (for my husband and son), and steamed veggies

Wednesday: creamed chicken with peas over rice (More-With-Less, page 186) (I keep wanting to try this recipe, but it continues to call through the cracks…hopefully it will really happen this week!)

Thursday: cream of broccoli soup (Farm Family Favorites of Lancaster DHIA, #955)

Friday: potato pizza* (Farm Family Favorites of Lancaster DHIA, #438), steamed veggies

Saturday: going to my sister-in-law’s for dinner – not sure what I’m taking yet

Sunday: whole wheat buttermilk pancakes (More-With-Less, page 73)

Monday: lasagna, steamed veggies (I use the lasagna recipe on the lasagna noodle box, but I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese)
