Whew!! I did a little extreme shopping at Harris Teeter this morning. Today kicked off super doubles and I was there with my coupons and shopping list at 6:00am (crazy, I know). I was not alone. The registers do not recognize the daily specials until 7:00am so the other ladies (and yes, it was all ladies) and I trolled the aisles snatching up the best deals and organizing our coupon stacks for an hour and then anxiously stood in line waiting to see who saved the most. (Y'all know it was me, right?) The secret to success? Have a friend who doesn't like wacky Wednesday mornings and borrow her vic card. You can only use 20 coupons per membership per day. (So your husband's won't work unless it is tied to a different address and phone number.) I used 40. I won't take you line by line through my receipts, but I'll give you a general idea of what I got.

I wanted to give you the regular price on some of these items so that you can compare the regular price at Harris Teeter to the regular price at a discount store like Walmart. If you shop what is not on special and without coupons you will pay at least 10% and sometimes up to 25% more at HT than your big box store. I only shop the specials. I also did not buy all the normal things I feed my family, for staple menu items I will do a regular shop on Saturday. I was able to get coffee and pasta and cheese and sour cream and vegetables and dog food...but you probably noticed that I also bought a ton of Pillsbury. I will not be feeding all of that stuff to my husband and my kids. After all of the coupons and special prices those items were practically free. I will be sending them to school, bringing them to Sunday school, sharing them with my GA girls and donating to benevolence ministry. My budget is tight so those are not always things I sign up to do every week. Now I'm stocked with lots of things I can give away. Oh, and we will eat the "Simply" items here. They are preservative and artificial flavor free so if I have no problem putting them on my table for a regular meal. I don't usually buy them because you pay such a premium for the convenience, but like I said, Harris Teeter was practically giving them to me today.
If you couldn't get to Harris Teeter this morning, check back on Saturday morning. They have usually restocked their specials by then. Happy Shopping!!

Grill 'Em All
So, I found a great deal on fresh boneless, skinless chicken breast at Walmart last week. I got 10 breast halves, 6lbs., for just under $10.00. I was then faced with a question. What do I do with that much chicken? I like that it was fresh - I freeze chicken all the time but I can always taste the difference. The breast halves were huge, 2 would easily feed all four of us, so I had way too much for just one or two meals. I decided to grill them all. If you wrap it up tight and store it properly, grilled chicken stays juicy for days. I think the high heat of the grill sears the surface closed or something like that. I don't understand it but I will gladly take advantage of it.
I sent Tracy out to the backyard yesterday with 5 pieces of chicken seasoned with Italian herbs and the other five seasoned with lemon pepper. Last night we ate grilled lemon pepper chicken with cornbread, lima beans, paresleyed potatoes, grape tomatoes and pickles. Next will be grilled chicken Parmesan, Greek chicken pita pockets, and southwestern style grilled chicken salads with black bean and corn salsa. Obviously I had to buy the go withs but let's face it, pasta and potatoes are cheap. Four entrees for four people for less than $10.00? It helped my budget and I hope it helps yours.

Dust Off a Classic
Hi, friends!!
It has been a long, sick week for me but I am praying that I am on my way to being well again. I haven't had anything dramatic wrong with me - just a cold - but it really knocked me off my game. I am close enough to well to attend an event with my GA girls tonight so to put myself on track for a stress free evening I dusted off a classic for dinner. We are having pot roast. In the slow cooker.
I'm sure that you all have a crockpot, I don't think you are allowed to get married in this country if someone hasn't given you one as a gift. But I'm curious about how often you use yours. Mine doesn't get a ton of use, about once a month maybe, but I'm grateful for it today. If it's been a while since you've had a good, meaty pot roast I encourage you to go for it. Cheap, easy and delicious is just what the Dr. ordered when you've been sick.
Crockpot Pot Roast
1 yellow onion
1 bag of carrots
4 potatoes
1 rump roast
olive oil
salt
pepper
1. peel vegetables and cut into 2 inch pieces
2. place in bottom of cold crockpot liner and drizzle with 2T olive oil. Add 1T salt and 1t pepper. Mix to coat.
3. mix 1T salt and 1t pepper together and press into roast, covering all sides.
4. place meat, fat side down, on top of vegetables
5. cook on high for 4 - 5 hours or low for 8 - 10.
Cost: $11.02 for 8 servings, $1.38 per serving
I like to serve this with biscuits the first night and on the second night I like to make a brown sauce and serve over rice. Enjoy!!

Buttermilk Biscuits
Good morning friends!! My wonderful husband was praising my cooking the other day and going on and on about how much he loved biscuits. Now, this sounds like a great moment for me but Tracy is not really my benchmark for culinary achievement. I love him the most and want him to be happy but sometimes the foods he loves the most; Totino's pizzas, Taco Bell, cheesy popcorn, etc. are not really the things I am most proud to serve. Also, biscuits are the easiest thing I make. Anyone can do it.
That said, I picked up a tube of refrigerated biscuit dough in the grocery store on Friday and stopped reading the ingredient list when I got to the 10th entry. Maybe easy and beloved by my husband is exactly the alternative you need.
Buttermilk Biscuits
2C self rising flour
1/2C shortening
3/4C buttermilk
1. Sift flour into a mixing bowl and cut in cold shortening.
2. Add milk and stir lightly to form a stiff dough.
3. Turn dough onto floured surface and knead.
4. Roll to half inch thickness and cut out.
5. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes
Tips: cold shortening, cold milk and sifted flour make flaky biscuits. You already know this if you read my pie crust recipe. You should also make sure not to twist your cutter when you are cutting out and place your biscuits on your pan with their sides touching - this helps with rise. Finally, I like to take my biscuits out a minute or two before they are done and brush the tops with melted butter. They brown really pretty and taste wonderful.
Enjoy!!

Mini Shop 01/29
I'm under the weather today and couldn't face my usual shopping marathon this morning. The actual weather isn't helping either. It's cold and drizzly and so wet from the rain yesterday that I have to wade to my car when I go out. I did go to Harris Teeter to take advantage of their one day e-vic specials and get us through the weekend and the big game. Here's what I bought:
chili sauce
lasagna sheets
Rotel tomatoes
tortilla chips
4 lbs. ground chuck (e-vic special $1.98 per pound, limit 2 2lb. packs)
deli turkey (D&W $6.99 per lb.)
bakery sub rolls
French bread
bag of lemons ($1.99 per bag)
1 tomato
bagels (Thomas BOGO, $2.09)
5 containers (48oz.) of ice cream (HT Natural, buy 2 get 3 free makes it $2.07 per)
orange juice
cheese cubes (Kraft, e-vic special for $2 each bag, double coupon made it $0.50)
velveeta
mozzarella
ricotta
2 Greek yogurt ( sale price and doubled coupon made it $0.55 each)
milk
2 packs turkey li'l smokies (Hillshire Farm e-vic special plus doubled coupon makes it $0.24 per pack)
This was a mixed bag for me. I got the supplies I needed for our lasagna and deli sandwiches, stocked up on the ice cream and bought Super Bowl snacks. Velveeta is clearly not on my regular purchase list, but Tracy loves the dip you make when you mix it with Rotel tomatoes. He gets it once a year and this is it. I also paid full price for it which makes me crazy, but I couldn't find it on sale anywhere and didn't have a coupon. I'm sure it would have been less than the $4.19 I paid for it at another store but like I said, I'm sick today and paid for the convenience. The fact that the store practically gave me my li'l smokies certainly makes me feel a little better about it.

Rescuing Real Food
Do any of you have a child (or spouse) who loves mac and cheese out of a blue box but won't touch the homemade stuff? I was thinking about this phenomenon last night while I cooked dinner. It seems to me that real food has become an acquired taste.
I know how it happens, I grew up with a working and sometimes single mom who didn't have time to cook. She always put food on the table and we were always happy to have it, but homemade mac and cheese was not on the menu. I grew up eating out of a blue box. Or a red one, or a yellow one, or a can, or the freezer...you get the picture. Mom had a few things she made for special occasions and was justifiably proud of but usually we ate what was cheap and convenient. My kids have had their share of cheap and convenient too. Frozen chicken nuggets were a staple in my freezer for years and still sometimes make an appearance. I have mixed up what is in the blue box. But I would be sad if my children sat down to a scratch prepared dish and turned up their noses because it didn't taste like Kraft or Tyson or Stouffer's or ... McDonald's. Not just because I want my time rewarded and my effort praised (although I do) but because I want them to know real food when they see it. I want them to put wholesome, simple food into their bodies and actually like the way it tastes. That is not going to happen if it is not what I feed them. Kids like what they know.
So, here are two simple foods that I prepared last night that do not taste like the packaged varieties but were a big hit.
Basic Brownies
1/2 C butter
1C sugar
1 t vanilla
2 eggs
2 1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate squares OR 6T unsweetened cocoa powder and 2T vegetable oil
3/4C flour
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees and prepare an 8x8 baking pan.
2. In a medium saucepan melt butter and add chocolate. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. Stir in flour.
4. Spread into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
5. Cool and cut into 16 squares.
These brownies are rich and slightly chewy and delicious. If you like nuts you can add walnuts or pecans with the flour. My family loved them last night. They do not taste like a mix - and I think brownies out of the box are very tasty - but mine have super simple ingredients, no artificial anything and taste like home. Oh, and I mix them right in the pot so I only dirty the pot, the pan and the spoon.
Roasted Chicken
6-7lb. roasting hen
2 lemons
vegetable oil
salt and pepper
1. Remove giblets from chicken cavity. Rinse entire bird and pat dry.
2. Salt and pepper chicken inside and out.
3. Slice lemons in half and put all four halves inside your bird.
4. Put chicken in roasting pan breast side up and brush with oil.
5. Roast in a 350 degree oven for 2-2 1/2 hours.
I have lots of friends who don't roast a whole chicken, ever!! In fact, many of them have never prepared chicken that didn't leave a package boned, breaded and in oven ready pieces or come in a three pack skinless and boneless. If that sounds like you, you are missing the boat and one of the best meal values around. Whole chickens are very inexpensive and super simple to prepare. We ate sliced breast meat last night and have plenty left over for quesadillas on Saturday. Tonight I'm making soup with the wings and thighs and extra breast meat. I paid $8.00 for my chicken and will get three dinners out of it. Best of all, my children know what an actual chicken looks and tastes like. Neither of them asked for the "nugget".

Thinking it Through
I've been working this morning on thinking it through. What I mean is, imagining how I'm going to use my food items from start to finish. I bought a pork roast and a large roasting hen on my last shopping trip and both of those items are more than one meal for my family. We all know that we should be saving and eating leftovers but what I'm trying to do is more than that. If you read my menu you will notice that we had roast pork and rice and gravy one night and pork fried rice the next. Not an accident. Tuesdays are busy for me so on Monday I roasted my pork and made two and a half times more rice than I needed. Rice is dirt cheap and keeps well so I always make lots but this time I had a specific plan in mind. Tuesday night all I had to do is pull out my wok and chop my pork and dinner was ready. My chicken will be roasted tomorrow and after we eat all we want I will have enough to shred for quesadillas and bones with dark meat to freeze and then boil for soup. Now, that said, I am just not one of those people who can cook all day on Saturday and have freezer meals for the week. If you are, that's awesome. I'm not. For one thing, my family is not really into casseroles. You will probably notice that there are rarely any on my menu. My husband and my son just don't like their food mixed together. For another, now that Caleb is in school Saturday is really the only day we all have together. I would hate to spend all of it in the kitchen. Besides, we'd starve during football season. What does work for me is taking a little extra time on Monday, Thursday and Friday to help me deal with Tuesday and the weekend. I hope you will look at your family's schedule and pay attention to what nights you have a little extra time and what nights you have no time at all. Getting into the habit of building your menu around the rhythm of your family life will help you stick to your plans. To help you get started, here is a list of things I always double up on and store the difference.

Shopping 1/29
I seem to have a lot of meat in the freezer right now so I took this weeks shopping trip as an opportunity to stock up on some other things. I also only visited two stores this week.
Harris Teeter
Wacky Mac 2 for $0.82 each
HT Old Fashioned White Bread 4 for $0.74 each
HT bread crumbs 2 for $0.73 each
HT shredded cheese evic special 2 for $0.99 each
HT butter $1.97
Martha White muffin mix 4 for $0.57 each
Chex Mix 4 for $0.89 each after sale price and doubled coupon
Pop Secret microwave popcorn 4 boxes for $1.32 each after special and doubled coupon
HT Traders orange blossom honey $2.99
HT raisin boxes (for lunches) $1.50
Cheer detergent $2.99 after sale price and coupon
fresh strawberries $2.49
Kraft Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese $1.50 after special price and coupon
HT box chicken broth $1.57
HT canned chicken broth 3 for $2.00 total price
Laughing Cow cheese triangles $2.12
Cooking spray
Total $39.12
I took advantage of some good sales this week. I also used my coupon to try the Kraft Homestyle mac and cheese. I thought that it was terrible. It has the ribbed pasta which is nice, but the process is every bit as time consuming as making from scratch but nowhere near as good. After you boil and drain your pasta you use 2T of butter and their seasoning packet - which looked a lot like flour and salt to me - and make a rue. You then add 1/2C of milk to make a white sauce. Instead of adding real cheese when it thickens you squeeze orange goo out of the cheese packet and stir it in. You mix with pasta, top with bread crumbs and bake until brown and bubbly. Do not try this at home.

Somewhere along the way BiLo ran their milk on special and I bought a couple of gallons so we are good to go. Happy Shopping!!
