Chole

red beans and rice is always a winner here. :thumbsup:

also, spaghetti w/ homemade sauce, deep dish mac -n-cheese, and breakfast for dinner.

* pancakes and eggs for dinner
* perogies with onions, cabbage, a little bacon, and sour cream
* spaghetti and meatballs (has WAY higher wow-factor than meatsauce, for some reason)
* curry over rice
* Baked whole salmon (we get it free from friends who fish, or whole frozen salmon at the grocery store for like $4 each and can usually get two meals out of it)
* Bean dip and tortilla chips (throw a can of beans, some sour cream, some salsa, seasonings, and cheese into the blender, then warm it up and serve)

Kerri

egg salad sandwiches w/soup or just chips and veggie sticks

homemade tomato soup (I used canned tomatoes) and quesadillas or grilled cheese sandwiches

those super cheap 10 pack of frozen bean and cheese burritos, with enchilada sauce and cheese on top, baked in the oven.

another breakfast for dinner vote here!

spaghetti with a can of white beans thrown in the sauce (and whatever veggies I have in the fridge).

salmon, prepared any way.

bbq tofu, a new fave.

goulash (noodles, misc veggies, ground beef, tomato soup)
tacos

Boy your kids will eat fancy foods LOL. My kid is super easy to feed cheaply, he loves black beans or kidney beans, plain with a side salad.

peanut butter/honey or agave samdwiches.

mac n' cheese
spaghetti
meatloaf

Boy your kids will eat fancy foods LOL.

Fancy is relative. Don't let the names of our meals fool you, it's mostly just beans & rice in various forms. :lol: That's the ticket, making the same ingredients look like a different meal every night. Fools DD every time.

Chole

tacos w/refried beans

taco salad - chips, refried beans, cheese and lettuce for those who eat them, and taco sauce or salsa

breakfast for dinner

a can of veg. baked beans over rice

and, until the latest round of allergy testing - left over rice, mixed with Bragg's and a scrambled egg for faux fried rice

Mine are picky - no beans here. Driving me crazy. We are working on it though.

Our cheapies are:
*veggie soup (we call it Stone Soup)
*eggs and potatoes
*pancakes (maple syrup is pretty cheap for us)
*spaghetti

Maybe I will start putting a few beans into veggie soup...

chicken soup (with rice, with noodles, whatever!)
Ramen Noodles:drop:
mac n cheese
rice (with maple syrup for breakfast, or as a side just plain!)
spaghetti and meatballs or just red sauce
chicken divan (rice, broc, chicken cassarole)
chicken pot pie (homemade)
meatloaf

Honestly? Mine eat just about anything. We're very lucky. We do have a super picky one in the mix, but I can always make one thing that she will eat.

Glue Pot

(any pasta, bow ties are best)

Once drained, mix with butter, sour cream, cottage cheese, cheddar if you want, mix and let it melt and then salt and pepper.

Frittatas
Dinner pouches with ramen noodles (ala Alton Brown style)
Tri color spiral noodles with cottage cheese
anything with beans

fajitas left (left over pork or chicken striped into a pan where I just saute'd an onion and a green pepper, salt and pepper, rolled into a tortilla with toppings)

chicken salad (chicken breast cut into strips and saute'd with salt and pepper, then put over salad with asian dressing and almond slivers)

what is a frittata?

recipe please!

A frittata is a crustless quiche. I put left over veggies; already cooked potatoes, steamed broccoli, sauted onion, a bit of garlic, and perhaps some left over ham, or bacon in a oiled glass baking dish, and then cover it with 6 beat eggs. Top with cheddar cheese (or any kind really, we like the sharpest cheddar you can get) and bake it for about an hour. It is a good meal cold usually too.

Another one we do. We bake two chickens when we do roast chicken, then we strip the meat off the bone and two days later we make chicken noodle soup out of the leftovers.
