My meals are not always frugal. For instance, I will serve meat as the maindish (which is a frugal "no no"). However, I try to obtain my meat at really low prices. Plus, my side dishes are usually very simple or inexpensive. I also have many kid favorites in my menu throughout the month.
So here is what my Flamingo flock will be eating this week.
Monday: Meatballs with peppers and pineapple and broccoli (this is a pioneer woman recipe that I've never made before. I assure you it won't be as tasty as hers).
Tuesday: Tomato, pasta and bean soup and homemade rolls (I never made this before either. I am making it up which is never a good sign. Regardless, I will post the recipe if it is edible).
Wednesday: Tacos
Thursday: Baked barbeque bone in chicken, mashed cauliflower, rice & beans (another frugal experiment this week)
Friday: homemade Pizza
Saturday: baked potatoes, salad , marinated steak on the grill (for hubby and I), chicken nuggets for kids
Sunday lunch: hamburger barbeque in slowcooker, applesauce, chips
Sunday dinner: chicken drumsticks, homemade fries, salad
I hope to share some of my recipes with you as time goes along. However, if there is something you see that really intrigues you, give a shout and I will try to share it sooner.
Check in tomorrow as I will share my shopping list and trip.
In the meantime, if you need more inspiration check out other menu plans at OrgJunkie.

For your soup- (I make similar) I use 1 vegan bouillion (you could use whichever) 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of kidney and 1 can of cannelini beans, 1 cup of spinach, 1 zucchini, 2 grated carrots, 1 diced onion, 2 stalks of celery, 2 garlic cloves, and 4 cups of water + a splash of fresh lemon juice and basil sprigs... mmmm.... basically- minestrone. :)
