Vegetarian Burritos

Mary Ann — Tue, 07 May 2013 17:49:52 +0000

Burritos are typically a low cost meal and are very filling. This vegetarian burrito recipe can be adapted to what is in season and what your family likes. I like to cook a batch of dried pinto beans and serve Pinto Beans and Cornbread for one meal, then use the leftover beans to make Vegetable Burritos. If it's available, we like to add chopped fresh cilantro. When red bell peppers are expensive (and their price can vary widely - I just bought a package of 6 for $3.99 and have at times paid that much for one pepper), omit them or substitute a green bell pepper.

San Francisco Pork Chops

This stove top meal is one of our favorites! It is featured in next week’s Frugal Mom Menu. For an even more intense flavor, you can cut up the pork into bite sized pieces before cooking and serve over rice. If making it to serve over rice, consider doubling the sauce.

Crockpot Cube Steak and Gravy

Mary Ann — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 18:38:14 +0000

Looking for a super easy supper idea? Look no further than Crockpot Cube Steak and Gravy. With a pound of cube steak, an envelope of onion soup mix, and 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (or the equivalent of Cream of Something Soup mix), you can put a delicious home cooked meal on the table with almost no effort. We like this dish over mashed potatoes, but if you are really in a hurry, serve it over instant rice with a salad on the side. Slow cooking the steak all day makes the meat incredibly tender and the onion soup mix seasons the gravy perfectly.
