*People always ask me if you can eat "real" or "healthy" food if you coupon, well the answer is YES. Here are some meals that we enjoyed this week. I got all the items (except the pears which were free from a relative) by using coupons.
Lunch: Tuna Fish with Fiber Wheat Thins, Veggie Chips, & canned pears
Dinner: 6 Can Chicken Tortilla Soup
*This was super easy to make I took 1 can of S&W Black Beans, 1 Can of Libby's Corn, 1 Can of Muir Glen Diced Tomatoes, 1 big can of Valley Fresh Chicken, and 1 can of Swanson Broth. I put it all in the crock pot on high for 4 hours. We topped it with shredded cheese and used tortilla chips to eat it with.
This is the recipe I used, it calls for 2 cans of broth but I like it thicker so I used only 1 can. You can serve over tortilla chips or use them to scoop it up. It was a hit at my house and so easy to make. I got all of these items using coupons so it was very inexpensive as well.
Dessert: Nutella Peanut Butter Oatmeal brownies
*I used a snack size Duncan Hines Brownie Mix (which I got for free) followed the instructions on box, then in a separate bowl I put a few scoops of Nutella & Creamy peanut butter in the microwave until smooth. I stirred it when smooth and added it to the brownie batter then added a scoop of oats. They turned out delicious, my family loved them as you can see from the picture. :)
Lunch: Flat bread Pizza
*I recently got some FREE flat bread from Albertsons so we used it to make these pizzas. All I did was spread some Ragu Garden Combo sauce on, shredded some cheese and let my kids add pepperoni (I added a few pineapple chunks to my side.) Baked them in the oven for 5 minutes. Super easy and delicious.
(My total cost into this meal is around .50 cents.)
