Budget Meal Recipes for June 12th - June 18th



Bals Lentil Cookies
I hope everyone has had a great week!  Here in the U.S., Sunday was Father's Day, a day known for great grilling and feeding dad his favorite foods. My husband lucked out and his sister had made his favorite dessert, peanut butter bars, for the potluck Father's Day dinner.  I'm thankful for the time we get to spend with family and enjoy good food together!

Small Brown Lentils

Every week as I go through and find the recipes on the Facebook group I end up thinking I shouldn't be doing this around lunch time.  There are so many yummy looking recipes! I'm so excited to see what other people make and try new things.  My husband is absolutely loving this group as I'm finally, after almost 20 years of marriage, branching out more in the cooking area.  Thank you for being there for each other, everyone!

This week I noticed we seem to have a Beans and/or Rice theme in the recipe department.  A great ode to Dave Ramsey, haha.  I'll be adding a beans and rice section on our category page soon.  Who knew you could make cookies from lentils?  That's one way to get my kids to happily eat beans!

RECIPE VIDEOS


I love food videos.  I'm excited that I finally have a venue to share them besides just on my own personal Facebook page.  The videos "How to Mark Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day" and "Spaghetti Bundt Pie" were shared in the Dave Ramsey - Budget Meal Ideas group this week. If you missed them the first time around, here they are again.

For the Video "How to Make Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day", this is the book they recommend in the video, The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking.  You can click on the link  or the image to learn more about it and order it.

MEAL PLANNING

As I've worked on our grocery budget each month, I've discovered the obvious - you save a lot of money if you meal plan.  Now implementing that knowledge for me is easier said than done.  Thankfully there are a number of websites out there to help you with that.  If you have a specific ingredient you want to use, the first three websites and great for that.  For those wanting to plan and go shopping, eMeals and Plan To Eat are good choices.

Budget Meal Recipes for September 23rd - September 26th

Thank you to everyone that is sharing links to recipes!  I know we all love trying new things.  That being said, the computer is having issues today so the list is only for a few days instead of the whole week.  Something is better than nothing, though! Amazon Deal of the Day I am watching for a specific food item to come on sale on Amazon.  In the meantime, I am finding some other good deals that others of you might appreciate. The first is the Issiki Kitchen Pastry Cutter.  ON SALE FOR $4.90!  That is cheaper than you can get at any box store and it is much better quality, too.  While I'll admit $47.06 is definitely overkill for a pastry cutter, the deal price is definitely worth it. The second deal is the Bluesim 7.5 Inch Professional Chef's Knife.  My husband and I discovered this week that a good sharp knife makes working in the kitchen so much easier.  Our knives are all fairly dull so this week I finally pulled out a boxed k...
