I buy tuna when it goes on sale just so that when my refrigerator is empty I still have something to turn to in the cabinet as a meat product for LV. Can you tell we were running out of things to work with?
Watch me stretch a buck! Rather than feel sentenced to *having* to make dinner, I'm trying to figure out what I can do with what I have. And how to make cheap meats and frozen vegetables taste better.

I thought it was about time to make Ritz cracker chicken strips again. The salad made it look less sad to me.

I believe this cut was actually called chicken steak and that's how I remembered I had never made a second attempt at cooking chicken fried steak. The second time was easier.

My mom wanted me to be sure I understood what a brat I was for not mailing a card to my dad in time for it to arrive on his birthday. Then I waited until two days before Father's Day to bake pecan sandies and mail them. Oh well.

I think I made these with the bag of frozen blueberries. They sounded like a really good idea for breakfast.

I love Pathmark's produce section. I think I tend to over buy there... Hence, mixing fresh orange peppers, cucumbers and broccoli before it all goes bad.

This is me completely phoning it in. The beef was really good. The Ramen noodles, not so much.

I like dinners I can make without really thinking, like this grilled chicken topped with Mrs. Dash and served over a bed of farfelle and mixed frozen veggies.
