So am I the only one who's noticed that grocery prices are skyrocketing? In an effort to compensate I Googled "inexpensive dinner ideas". Tons popped up. Most included refrigerator biscuits, tatter-tots, bologna, 80% lean ground beef and cream of mushroom soup. Apparently, hydrogenated oils, saturated fats and perservatives are cheap. That's not a problem if you enjoy clogged arteries, and can eat gluten. But ewww.... So I did another search "HEALTHY inexpensive dinner ideas". That was more helpful. Here are some ideas:
-Baked potato bar night.
-Soup and Salad (soup is cheap, usually helpful and always seems to have leftovers)
-Breakfast for dinner (we like to do fritta, or omlettes...eggs are cheap, a good source of protien and the lecithin compensates for some of the cholesterol - it's good brain food)
-Beans and rice (cajun, mexican, or curried lentils)
-veggie enchiladas
-burritos (sans cruddy fattening meat, and gooey sauce)
-pasta (unless, of course, you're GF, then it'll still cost you $3/bag)
-rice (w/ beans, or grilled chicken or whatever)
-polenta bake
-potato pancakes
