Simple Supper–less than 20 minutes to feed the family or yourself a couple of meals.

Anna--The Adventurer 2 Comments

Spring Break is over and we’re back to the grindstone! One method of saving money for your next adventure is to make affordable, cheap meals at home. While I am a huge fan of Aldi’s low prices, deals can be found just about anywhere! This meal out would easily cost $12-15 per person–but I made 3-4 portions (depending on how hungry each person is!) for under $6, total! I pack the extra portions as meal prep for lunches at work.

Ingredients:

3 chicken breast tenders (Aldi’s, $8.99 for the big bag, so about $1.99 used)

1 bag of California Blend Frozen Vegetables (Aldi, $1.89)

A splash of lemon juice (I used the bottle, $0.20)

2 Teaspoons of Herb Mix (Dollar Tree, $1.25, Used $0.20 roughly)

1 tablespoon of Olive Oil ($0.50)

Saute the chicken tenders in the olive oil until almost done, diced it up or shred it, return to pan, add the bag of frozen vegetables and spices, simmer on med-low heat for another 10 minutes. Serve Hot.

Expanding homemade meals-homemade Thai with help

Anna--The Adventurer 2 Comments

Not too many people enjoy eating the same dishes over and over and over again-especially me. So what is a girl to do? I sought out some recipes to help expand my cooking skills and meal variety. Eating out gets expensive quickly and adds to my waste line far too fast (I swim for overall benefits but also to help trim down and be more curvy!)

I purchased a jar of Thai sauce, claiming to be good for dipping and cooking and found a recipe that could use it.

Ingredients:

2 large chicken breasts, chopped and cooked in olive oil

1 medium sized onion, chunky chopped

2 dried red spicy peppers crushed up

1 small bag of frozen brocoli florets

2 Tablespoons of Thai Peanut sauace

1/4 cup slided almonds

salt and peppper

Cook the chicken in the oil, add all the other ingredients and let simmer for 20 minutes on medium low heat. Serve! Serves 3-4 people. So Yummy!
