My family loved this dish!  Everyone had seconds (my toddler who is the pickiest eater had four servings!)  This is a super easy and yummy dish that appears to take more work and time than it actually does.  The only thing I regret is there are rarely any leftovers.  We served ours with Parmesan herbed potatoes.  Yummy! 

1 - small bag of potato inspirations potatoes $1.45
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1-1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tsp minced garlic  $0.50
1/3 Cup Shaved Parmesan $0.50
 
Total Cost:  $2.45 or 41 cents per serving

Total Cost of Meal:  $10.17 or $1.70 for each serving!

This is a great quick to prepare meal and you can add whatever your family likes or omit anything they don't.  Cucumbers, celery, cheese, broccoli, etc are all great additions to this dish.  This is a scaled down version (approximately 6 servings) and the recipe can easily be doubled to make larger batches.  ENJOY!

Publix Savings 9-10-11

This week I saved 45% and did not use many coupons at all.  I am shopping week by week and using the reserves from the freezer (which is becoming might bare!).  My husband goes for a last and final test on Tuesday.  They still want us to be there by October 3rd, but I am hoping the offer to start October 17th still stands.  We are getting down to the wire here and before we know it October will be here.  I still have lots of planning and organization to do plus we still need to give our employers notice if they decide to extend the final job offer to him.  Not to mention it is a 24 hour drive from where we currently are!  It will be nice to be back to normal so I am hoping that we will have the final answer by the end of next week.  All in all I think I did well for all the items I bought and am happy to have some good fresh produce in the house :)
