D'lish Dinners
When I meal plan I keep the following glamorous guidelines in mind:
~Prepares in 20 minutes or less
~Cost $10 or less
~Contains 5 ingredients or less
Not processed & as close to its original source as possible}, gluten and dairy free. I omit the or substitute ingredients to meet our dietary needs.
Meal Planning is SO glamorous! You don't have to stress at the last minute about what to make. You have all of the ingredients on hand. It is easy on your budget and on your waist line! I also incorporate items from our organic, local, home delivery crop share from
Using sale items to structure your grocery list and making a Meal Plan is the #1 way to save in your grocery bill! Statistically, 70% of the purchases made at the grocery store on average, are impulse driven. If you can take the guess work out of what you are buying you can save BIG at the grocery store without cutting a single coupon!
Eating a sit down dinner with your family is VERY beneficial and will save you a lot of heartache it the long run! AND, it makes your house a home.

1/2 tsp chili powder
Mix all together
Cover and cook on high 1 hour

I am hoping that it will taste like Amy's Mexican Casserole Bowl!
This is one of my special treats.
I bang off most of the cheese before I cook it.
These run about $4 each. The recipe I found to make about 6 servings cost about the same and it's closer to dairy free too!
I am subbing out the Couscous with Quiona.
You prepare Quiona the same way as Couscous. Quiona is gluten free.
