What is Amish Casserole???

A layered ground beef and egg noodle casserole topped with cheese and baked. It sounds easy and like a good casserole for a cool damp day like we are having today, it's been drizzly out all day.
I haven't tried this yet, it's new for tonight but I know my DH and his taste buds and he will love this. The best part is I have everything on hand already to fix it.

This is such a great thread! I was looking for a thread about tips on saving money on the grocery bill, and I found it! Perfect!

Like many, if I want to go to Disney, I need to "shave" a little off other areas to pay for it. Groceries is one of our biggest expenses, besides say heat. Opting for a few cheaper meals a couple times a week is a big help.

Hi everyone, mind if I join in? We do pretty well eating at home, mostly because we live in a small town with very few restaurants, but there's always room for improvement, right? I have a few crock pot meals this week, dd12 is in a Nutcracker ballet on Thurs & we have rehearsals every night until then. Most of these recipes are from the eatathomecooks website, I like to try different cookbooks/websites, I think I frustrate my family because they would like to see "old favorites" on the menu more often.

Sat- we had breakfast burritos & fruit
Sun- a Mexican casserole for the church potluck
Mon- cheese tortellini soup, bread
Tues- tonight is garlic chicken in the crock pot, baked potatoes (crock pot) & a veggie
Wed- honey cashew pork stir fry, rice, broccoli
Thurs- slow cooker chicken enchilada soup, salad, rolls
Fri- 50's Prime Time meatloaf, mashed potatoes, veggies

I reserve the right to substitute $2 subways in for one of these nights if my daughter drives me crazy doing her performance hair/makeup

Hi and welcome! I just found this budget board a few months ago too and love it! My family too would like repeats of "favorites" but I love to cook new and untried recipes so it was funny to hear your family complain of the same thing. I am addicted to allrecipes.com. as well as cookbooks and other cooking shows on tv. Such is the life of a foodie.

Thanks for the welcomes!. You all have some great looking menus! I like all recipes too, Cin, it's fun to read the reviews. It's hard to make things on a regular rotation when there are so many recipes out there! Also, I can spend a lot of time cooking something that my kids think is "ok", but then make grilled cheese with canned tomato soup & they're in heaven. Tonight we had the crockpot garlic chicken, baked potatoes & mixed veggies.

I made these puff pastry turnovers with chicken, cheese, and peas last night.

I posted some DCL food porn on my trip report today:

Tonight is quick, easy and completely boring:

Hot dogs (sauerkraut for DH)
Chips

 

[lattemomof3]

Tonight is honey cashew pork stir fry, rice & broccoli. I'll pack a pb & j, etc for dd12, who has dance rehearsal from 4 to 8:30 tonight. The $2 sub would probably be cheaper, but she is my picky eater.

So, I wanted to first say thank you to you all for some awesome ideas for dinner.

I just finished my first semester back in school, so while on my break I am making a plan for dinners and such for the rest of the semester. While this may sound crazy, the one thing I could NOT keep up with last semester was a weekly meal plan. There just wasn't enough time.

So, I'm going through this and a bunch of my favorite food blogs and coming up with monthly plans for the next four months. I'm making grocery lists, and all I'll have to do is see what's on hand and then pop over to the store. I did it for a month at the beginning of the semester and it worked well, so we'll see how it goes.

I made these puff pastry turnovers with chicken, cheese, and peas last night.

Could you please post the recipe for this ? I don't have puff pastry but I do

Hello everyone!

I wanted to say welcome to all the newbies!

How has everyone been doing? I've been doing well but have not been on the computer in a while the closer to the end of pregnancy the more tired I am getting.

Its hard to believe that we are only 4 pages away from having to make a eat at home 2 thread!

I was wondering if anyone after the holidays would be interested in doing a mail recipe swap?We all have some great recipe why not share a few?

If interested pm me and once I have some feedback I will pm you back.

Here is what i have going this week

Monday was chicken noodle soup
Tuesday pizza and fries
Today chicken with rice and carrots
Thursday tacos
friday mac and cheese
Saturday spaghetti and sauce

Plans changed a bit. We spent the morning running around and finishing up our Christmas shopping so we had lunch out. Neither of us are too hungry but we have leftover soup to warm up and snack type items for tonight.

So tonight was the garlic lemon tilapia and zucchini fries. It's pretty good. Fries didn't crisp up as much as I would like, but I think I messed up a bit too.

Here are the recipes:

Hi to everyone new.
I'm too tired to cook tonight so DH is firing up the grill for burgers. I discovered today that making is spritz cookies is the adult version of play dough fun factory. Fun factory was a little easier to load though than the cookie press if I recall correctly.
