Before I begin this final menu of the cheap week (today is payday and groceries!!!)....I must preface by saying that I saw my first robin!!!! Hurray....now I know that spring is almost near. I probably need to go to the YMCA and start doing some mild weight lifting to prepare for the gardening season (I have been having problems with my shoulders with pinched nerves that get aggrevated when I do lots of strenuous work...such as gardening :-) !).
Anyway...our meal last night was not served at home. It turned out that the 2 older kids had food at the Tech Club meeting (which they brought some leftover punch from campus ministry stuff....husband had it) and the rest of us ate some food in the kitchen before an event held at our church. Husband actually got to go through the line and said ALL the food was fabulous. The 2 younger kids and I had some green bean casserole and ham balls and apple slices. So yesterday was the ultimate in CHEAP!!
I did have to make an item for the meal at the church...it was escaloped corn. Super easy and cheap too and I had all the ingredients on hand (had to use powder milk in it....but with baked stuff nobody knows the difference). I had some crumbs left of garlic croutons which I used on the top of the dish. Spencer said it was Awesome.
Hope you all enjoyed this view into our homelife on a very interesting week.
