TBR Kitchen / Re: Good, low cost meals
« Last post by Sighlass on Today at 01:42:11 am »Ramen noodles are very high in salt unfortunately.... kids can get away with it for a while, not so much me. We had a rice and Chicken dinner tonight (with some homemade gravy).
We have our own Chickens for about 6 months now... 5 or 6 eggs a day so the wife does a lot of devil eggs for church functions. I have 2 (sometimes 3) eggs for breakfast about 5 times a week. Throw in a slice of ham or bacon on the skillet and you have a good breakfast. Grits or Oatmeal other times.
I got a son that works part time at a grocery store (for college money). He lets his mother know when there is a good deal on things and will often call her and ask if she wants a particular deal (and how many). If a great deal the wife will carry the extra to church to share with the other ladies (and they do vice-versa).
We have started saving grease from meats... straining it to keep it mostly clean in jars we keep by the stove. It makes the grease for cooking and keeping the iron pans oiled so they don't rust (keeps them conditioned).
