Food

[indiana_j]

Due to some extra bills, money is pretty tight this paycheck; I went all anal with my food cabinet today and wrote down everything I have.  It also let me toss out the stuff that was old or, well, gross.  Once that was done, I headed out to get about $25 in groceries - hotdogs that were cheap (buy one, get one free!  We love bogo) and some basics.  I've got a good meat supply, it's the lack of things to do to it that I run into.

So, menu.  Of sorts.

Tonight:  Soft taco kit.  Basically, this will yield me around three meals, dinner and two lunches for work.  Especially since I now add rice to the meat. :D

The other nights:

I've got ground turkey, stew meat, pork loin (that's going to be baked), flounder, original brats (jambalaya!) and two things of chicken (one is being baked).  On nights I don't have something planned, there's sandwiches or bartering with the roommates (they cook, I clean).  Any quick and easy dinners I could make with those meats above, feel free to suggest.

I'm not sure what you've got in the way of basics at all, so I don't know how useful it might be...

Do you have any tinned beans, potatoes, carrot and some tomato? Because that's stew with the stew meat.

Or, with just tomatoes and spices, it's a curry. Or with just spices, stock and a little coconut milk and that's pretty cheap.
