Today is my brother Ben’s birthday! Happy Birthday Ben! I always loved his birthday as a kid and was so jealous it was right by Valentines day.
This week is cold and rainy for us, plus it is Valentines Day so Paul makes a fancy dinner for that. It is always a secret what we are having so I am not sure what to add in on that day!
Monday – Baked Potato Bar – This will be a big hit tonight, the kids love them. Plus there is a coupon $1.00 off 1 LLOYD’S tubs or BBQ that I will use on the topping for it. Did you know that you can “bake” potatoes in a crock pot? Just clean them, and stack them in a crock pot ( don’t even need any water in the bottom) and turn it on high for 6 hours. You can top these babies with just about anything you have in the fridge! Go HERE for ideas!
Tuesday – Valentines Dinner – Paul makes a fancy dinner this night. I am not sure what the plan is. If you are not wanting to make dinner tonight there are a few places that will deliver a Valentines Day Heart Shaped Pizza.
Wednesday – Pulled Pork Sandwiches– {Crock Pot} – Another family favorite and very easy and coupons available $1.00 off HORMEL ALWAYS TENDER meat. I can throw this in the crock pot on my way out the door in the morning and it will be perfect with a bag of chips (have coupons for those also!) and crusty rolls for dinner!
Thursday – $.58 a person Chili Dinner – Again, I am going for an easy and cheap dinner. $0.55 off 2 HORMEL Chili products We were gone this past weekend and so the kids ate out a bunch and my budget is blown! I made this a long time ago and posted how much it cost, the post is bad early blogging, but it is a easy cheap dinner! You can see HERE how Paul spices up this chili.
Friday – Homemade Mac and Cheese – From Cooking Quest, I have wanted to make this for a while and I think it is time! You can always add a protein to it so that you don’t have just a total carb fest. Or make this the side dish and add grilled chicken.
The ingredients overlap a bunch this week! So if you make one trip you should have everything for a few meals! I love it when that happens!
