Budget Meals

[DohDohBird]

Rice with gravy is a dirt cheap comfort meal. Just make up a batch of your preferred gravy, white or brown, and boil some rice. Sometimes I put bits of veggies or meat in, but it's delish by itself.

I am famous for freezing leftover tidbits of foods, ( even as little as a couple of tablespoons), in one large freezer container. I combine these with ramen noodles, the soup base, along with what ever else I may have on hand. These might be, onion, a carrot, celery, a can of spam, diced, and make what my family likes to call.... Gruell. It doesn't sound great, but "most" of the time, it is very tasty, and nutricious, and fills the empty tummy.

I like to cook bacon and eggs for dinner or grilled cheese and tomato soup. They are favorites and never get a negative response frm anyone.

Soup is always a must at our home and we usually have for dessert fruit cut into small pieces with yogurt. Everybody likes it and it is dinner...
