Meal Planning on a Budget

Aunt Lou here.

The theme for Budget Meal Plan: Week 28 is comfort foods. Some weeks are just a doozy of a week. I have had one or two of these lately, and I am guessing I am not alone in this happening from time to time. When I have these types of days or weeks, I really just want some comfort food. So, this week, I have went through our recipe library and found some great comfort food recipes that have common ingredients you might already have in your cabinets, fridge or freezer, and recipes that have cheaper ingredients in them.

If you want to change up this menu to better suit what you have in your home or what you have available in your area on sale, you can always use our Recipe Finder. You can find it here, or you can click on the “Search Our Recipe Finder” image near the top of the page on the right hand side on any page on our website. Once you have our Recipe Finder page up, you can do a search for recipes with a specific ingredient. You can also filter the results to fit your needs. For instance, if you want a main dish recipe made in a crock pot, you can put the ingredient you are looking for in the search box, click the box next to Main Dishes and the box next to Crock Pot. This will give you results to match what you want. If you want a more in depth explanation, Cris will take you through it all in this video.
