Default Re: Money spent on food....$50/Month goal

Yep, it's a good place to start, and let's you know it can be done. I cooked this weekend and 'invented' taco pies and lasanga muffins. I had most everything at home. All I had to buy was ricata chees and lasanga noodles. I made three servings of the taco pies and 6 servings of the lasagana muffins. I made a reduced butter verson of the Hill Billy garlic buttery bread sticks, but wasn't impressed. I have a better bread stick recipe, but hers is quicker. I divided and froze and then put my best guess at the recipies into MasterCook. The portions worked out to between 300-400 calories per servings on the main course and 300 for two bread sticks, so they will work well for meals, and I'll toss in a banana or orange.

It's nearing the end of my first month and I more than suceeded. Granted I used alot of stuff I already had, so I am by no means 'there' yet. As the months go buy I'll do a better job of getting things down, but so far so good.

Another good web site is this...

Again recommened to me by someone at this site. It has many great recipes for families too, just go to the main page.
