Recipe Share to save for our trips

[thesaurinis]

I have been trying to cut out dining out to save for our Disney trip. I told the DH for everytime we don't go out and eat in I will bucket some money to the trip fund. For the 4 of us to go out it usually costs around 45 with tip and we would do that at least 2x a week. Yikes thats a lot of money in a month. So I was thinking lets all do a menu plan or Recipe share. I love trying new recipes as they keep me interested in making meals. My favorite is crock pot recipes so if anyone has any to share that would be great.


Ranch Chicken over Rice/Potatos

I take boneless chicken breast and cube it. Place in a baking dish and pour Ranch dressing over it and stir. I then place in oven on 350 for 30 min or so UNCOVERED. I then serve over Rice or Potatos. If you put enough Ranch in the dish it will make a nice flavorful sauce to go over the rice/potatos. I then serve with veggie/fruit and salad

I try to keep restaurant meals for special occasions but I don't always meet that goal Sometimes I just plain don't feel like cooking. When that hits, I just make sandwiches and heat up a can of soup and call it dinner.

Take today for instance, I already don't feel much like cooking so I am going to make a macaroni salad this morning (while I still have some energy) and at dinner time I will put some bacon in the oven to bake and then make BLT's. Sounds good to me

Funny you should mention this. I had an email from kraft this morning with slow cooker recipes in it. Heres the link http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes...er+recipes&cm_mmc=eml-_-rbe-_-20101005-_-1013 I think Ill try the slow cooker chicken curry first.

I like to make long gravies. That's what my mom used to call a gravy that you can serve 2 or 3 times.
Meatball stew:

Make your meatballs, bake then add to a brown gravy. Serve over rice. Make veggies. Simple and easy!
