Suddenly Salad Meal

There was a sale on "Suddenly Salad" last week 10 for $10.... so tonight, I cooked up two boxes of "Basil Pesto" flavor, cooked several chicken strips, cubed them,  and cut up some fresh tomatoes, green peppers and green onion to put on top.  It was simple, easy, and pretty darn cheap!

How to Post

1. You need to make sure you are logged in.

2. At the top right you should have the options new post, or sign out-if you aren't signed in it will have the option sign in.

3. Click new post.

4. When you are finished click publish post. If you want to continue working on your post save it and next time you log in click edit post to continue working.

The problem I had when I first started is I wasn't added to the blog so I couldn't post. If the options at the top don't include new post(make sure you are signed in to your account) or if what's for dinner doesn't appear on one of the blogs you manage then you probably need to get the password from Tress.

Hope this helps!!

Eating off Smith's sale items

BLT Jalapeno Wraps:

Ingredients:

Jalapeno Tortillas

Lettuce

Tomato

Cheese, (pepperjack)

Bacon slices

This week's Smith's sale items are what I'm going to try to stick to for our meals.  Some of the ingredients bought were bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, tortillas, ham, pineapple, green peppers, Asian helper, Betty Crocker cake mixes and potatoes, Pillsbury spinach & cheese bites (Lin's sale item for $1 last week), $1 sour cream.

So, with each of the above items, which were on sale, I have the following meals planned for the week:

1.  Tonight was the wraps... I wasn't going to blog them, but Mardi asked while her mouth was full, "Mom, aren't you going to take a picture of dinner?".  So, I thought it must be good!  And easy!

2.  Asian helper meal... these were on sale 10 for $10!

3.  Dutch oven potatoes... using up the rest of the pound of bacon from tonight along with green peppers and potatoes which are always inexpensive.

4.  Sweet & Sour Pork... I plan to cube the ham I got on sale along with the discounted pineapple, green peppers, and carrots.  Serve over white rice.

5.  Standby of taco salad using up the fresh lettuce and tomatoes!!!

Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas

Ingredients:

1 can cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup salsa

2 tsp chili powder

2 cups chopped, cooked chicken

1/2 cup shredded cheese

6 flour tortillas

1 small tomato

1 green onion

Directions:

1.  Stir the soup, sour cream, salsa and chili powder in a medium bowl.

2.  Stir 1 cup of above mixture in with chicken and cheese.

3.  Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortilla, place in baking dish.  

4.  Pour remaining mixture over the enchiladas

5.  Cover baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until enchiladas are bubbling.

6.  Dice up tomato and onion and sprinkle on top just before serving.

Wednesday:  Ward auction and meal provided!!!

Thursday:  Calzones made from Rhodes frozen rolls.  I fill them with diced tomatoes, pepperoni, and mushrooms.

WELCOME HOLLY!!

Having spent Saturday with a good friend of the past 10 years, Holly, we got on the topic of this blog.  She came up with a great idea and I that night made sure to invite her as an author for all of our benefit.  Holly is a coupon shopper, and said she will be willing to check out the ads for Smith's and come up with some meal ideas using those ads.  Not only are we all going to have some great ideas for meals for the week, kind of like how Lindsay and Darci plan their week... but Holly is going to help us all do it while SAVING $$$$$$!!! YEAH!!  We are all going to anxiously await your first post, Hols. :)
