With all the kids home from school and here with us for the summer we are really blasting our way through some groceries. Our food budget has taken a real hit, especially since our family uses services like breakfast at school and reduced price / free lunch. Having 5 teenage boys at home really blows your budget out of the water.
This is a great recipe, not just for keeping things under budget, but it is quick to make and really delicious. Meals like this are a real bit hit around our house. Lots of full bellies with smiles on their faces make for a happy mom after dinner time.
