Budget Meal Recipes for June 19th - July 2

Many of you have probably noticed that I haven't posted for a bit. We've been on vacation at our house plus lots of other things going on! I hope everyone else has had a great two weeks as ours has been very fun and productive.

For one of these trips we wound up eating on the go in the van. Definitely not our favorite way to do dinner but we needed to leave then or wait until the next day. I didn't want to spend $20-$30 hitting the drive through so I made a cheap and fast homemade lunchables to tide us over. (I'll admit I even had to put them together in the car with the pre-sliced toppings.) Right about then I realized what an absolute rip off store bought lunchables are.

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.
