He looked at me so astounded that taco's was a simple meal, lol. <br /><br />I love your list because it looks like my meal planner. :) I don't do the ten ingredient recipes either. <br /><br />Simple foods with a few of your favorite spices can make a grand meal.

If there isn't enough, I throw in some rice or pasta to stretch it. I always make stock from the bones.

Noodles or dumplings with mashed potatoes - then dressing and sweet potatoes too at Thanksgiving. That is how I grew up too.<br />I always have my noodles over mashed potatoes.<br /><br />Yum.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-30151067529615044282019-03-20T08:30:18.493-04:002019-03-20T08:30:18.493-04:00Thank you Cindy Jane.

It takes me back to childhood.<br />The tortilla sounds yummy. There is something about the flavor combo of beans and cheese - I love that combo.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-23407340215178368812019-03-20T08:21:47.563-04:002019-03-20T08:21:47.563-04:00My grandma's end of the money meal was noodles...My grandma's end of the money meal was noodles in homemade broth server over potatoes.

A can of soup with a grilled cheese is always our stand by cheap, quick meal. It's because if you that I have a "pantry book", with quick meals listed in it. I have sub categories of pantry meals. I think it was one of your blog post over 1 year ago. I glean so much info from you. Thanks.

Bologna was their only meat many times...fried bologna is still a favorite.

Better for everyone. Saves money and stretches that food. Nothing wrong with that!<br /><br />I just do not like the political climate of the nation or the world for that matter. I think we could be heading into some scary territory if we aren't careful. <br /><br />ALSO - the weather. Floods, droughts, cattle - pigs (tens of thousands) died last week because of the flooding I just think we need to stock and grow and plan much more than normal. Hunt out those deals and stock up.<br />I am not willing to leave my families well being in the hands of others. I want to be prepared.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-87710422168888586032019-03-19T12:50:25.491-04:002019-03-19T12:50:25.491-04:00Good advice!

I usually cook a pound of ground beef or beef roast and add extra beans and tomatoes to chili. Or add extra potatoes and carrots and veggies to stretch the meat. My family doesn't notice any difference. <br />Is there anything in particular that makes you think that times are going to get worse soon? I keep feeling a nudge to stock up more myself.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710629007170091862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-29294353895632751542019-03-19T12:39:24.605-04:002019-03-19T12:39:24.605-04:00It really is easy.
