Meal Planning Basics

Recently, a couple different ladies have asked me about how I make our single income stretch. Goodness...what a question! I could fill a book with tips on that one. lol! But, I do have a few ways that I talk about frequently. Today I'll share my biggest help!

Meal Planning.

Yup! It might sound simple, but meal planning saves us at least $200 a month, probably more!
($200 might not sound like a lot to some of you, but that's our water/trash bill, my cell phone bill, a jumbo box of diapers & a box of wipes. The savings for us, is huge.)
How can something so simple, save us so much?

What's for Dinner? How 'bout some Cowboy Casserole?!

Cowboy Casserole is another family favorite that makes the meal plan at least once a month.

Quick, easy, inexpensive, filling and so yummy!

I have tinkered with this recipe (adapted from a Taste of Home Recipe) for the better part of the year, and I think I've come up with the perfect mix. 

Give it a whirl & let me know what you think!
