A Recipe My Family Loves

There are many nights that I need a quick meal because we are on the go. I have found that cooking at home saves us lots of money. So 7 days a week I cook at home or we have left overs. So here is one that my family loves to have. We call it On The Go Stew.

You will need:
1 pound lean ground beef
2 cans stewed tomatoes (I used the Italian flavor ones)
1 can whole corn drained
1 can green beans drained
1 can beef broth
garlic powder (to your taste)
onion powder (to your taste)

You will brown your ground beef and then drain it. Next you will add everything into the skillet and make sure to mix it really good. Then heat on high and stir often until you get it to boil. Then you just lower the heat and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes and just stir it often. This will serve 4-6.

I hope you and your family enjoy!

Save On Your Food Shopping!

For the longest time I hated to go food shopping because it always would cost me an arm and a leg. Until I found an awesome meal planning group. Now that I write out my meals and do inventory on what I have at home I have cut down my food bill. I truly thought this was not going to work at all. But once I wrote out my list and told myself I only buy what is on the list and if it is not on there it does not get bought I found that I was saving so much more. I went from spending $200 a week on food to about $120 for a family of 4. That includes my husbands work drinks and lunch foods. There is also coupons that I don't do at the moment but if you are not into that try planning your shopping trip with a list and sticking to it. You will be amazed at what you can save if you plan out meals around what you already have.
