Chicken Stuffed Tortilla - Video Recipe!!!

Okay - so this is my first attempt at making a "video recipe" for you all to enjoy! I am so excited, and I hope you all like it! The Chicken Stuffed Tortilla recipe is one of my favorites because it is so versatile. Formally known as "Stuff" to my family and friends, this recipe has taken many forms over the years. If you want to sneak healthy things such as mushrooms or avocados in the recipe, all you have to do is puree them and stir them into the mix.

So without further delay, here we go!

Father's Day FREE Gift Idea!

So Father's Day is Sunday, and I am sure many of you have not yet gotten anything for that special man. Now, I am aware that this is not meal related, but then again, if you don't have to pay for a Father's Day gift, you can spend more money on food ;-) right?

So what is the deal?  You can get a FREE 8×10 Collage Print from Walgreens!  Just use coupon code: 1FREEBIE at checkout through Saturday, June 18, 2011.  If you choose pick up in-store, you can avoid shipping fees (and to get it by Father’s Day!). Just remember, there is a limit of one free offer per customer.

Real meals for $1 a person? Yes! It is possible!

So tonight at dinner, my boyfriend asked me how much dinner cost. When I told him, he sat back, blew out a long breath, and said "You should blog about that."

Plain and simple: dinner was delicious, healthy, and cheap. So what was it? Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage, buttered brussels sprouts, biscuits, and herbed garden vegetables. I fed two adults and two children for $4. Oh yea - and I was able to cook dinner in under 20 minutes.  Funny thing is -- we eat like that all the time. So how do I do it?

Simple!

First, the Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage was on sale for $1.95. The buttered brussels sprouts and herbed garden vegetables were 10 for $10 & 11th free at Meijer - making them 90 cents each.  The biscuits were a simple homemade recipe easily costing no more than a quarter.  See, that is the ticket - watching out for sales and stocking up when you can. From my grocery shopping last week I have a save $3 coupon. Meijer recently added a save $2 coupon to my MPerks card - so the 1st $5 I spend on my next shopping trip will be free.  And so goes my usual shopping trips. Whether or not you choose Meijer to shop is not important. What is important is finding an affordable grocery - and if possible one with a customer card and a major plus is one that doubles/triples coupons.

 

You can easily do this too!

A little planning can save you BIG! On average I save about 1/3 with coupons and in-store deals.  What could you do with an extra $84.84?
