Oh Grocery Shopping how I love you; Let me count the ways...

Here's the shopping list for the June menu...

The plan of attack - Caputo's first (per usual as I always do the furthest store first), Meijer second, and Dominick's and/or Jewel Last - my reasoning: I jot down what is on sale at Dominick's and Jewel that I need from my list, and if for some reason Caputo's and Meijer has it for the same price or cheaper I'm making one less stop (and 9 times out of 10 Meijer has everything regularly priced way cheaper than Dominick's and Jewel!!)

Caputo's (the one stop produce shop, haha)
[a side note: I almost never am kicking myself from buying all my produce at Caputo's... They are almost always cheaper and better than any other store - unless you shop at a local fresh market (essentially the same thing)]

Memorial Day Recipes

I didn't take any pictures this time because I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed trying to just get it done, lots of housework awaits...
But I wanted to share these 2 recipes, both of which are amazing and worth trying!

1st Recipe for BBQ #1:
CHEESECAKE
For the record... My entire life this was the only cheesecake I ever ate, and assumed I loved cheesecake... not the case, I really only love this cheesecake - that's how amazing it is :) (I've only found one other cheesecake that I even like)
Its a lot of work but, oh, so worth it:

Crust:

INGREDIENTS:

1-1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted

DIRECTIONS:

PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Mix all ingredients until well blended.

PRESS firmly onto bottom and up side of spring form pan.

BAKE 8 min. or until lightly browned; cool completely.

Filling:

INGREDIENTS:

4 – 8oz. Pkg. Cream Cheese (softened)

½ Lemon (squeezed)

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 cup Sugar

4 eggs

Topping:

1 – 16oz. Pkg. Sour Cream

¼ cup Sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Filling: PREHEAT 350° W/ PAN OF WATER IN OVEN

Cream all ingredients together, adding 1 egg at a time. Fill spring form pan with filling, and smooth out the top. Bake in oven for 50-55 minutes. Let Set (approximately 10 minutes).

Topping: Cream ingredients together. Add topping to cheesecake after it has set. Spread just shy of the edges. Place bake in oven for 5 additional minutes.

Tips: Wait for it to completely cool before refrigerating or attempting to remove the side of the pan. When refrigerating, cover with plastic wrap, but leave an opening to keep away condensation...

ok i couldn't help myself.... here's the final product:

2nd Recipe for BBQ #2:

Pizza Dip (I doubled this recipe)

INGREDIENTS:
1 (8-oz.) container soft cream cheese with chives and onions

1/2 cup chunky pizza sauce

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1/3 cup finely chopped pepperoni

2 oz. (1/2 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese

2 oz. (1/2 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese

(I added some Jack cheese too...yum! I love me my cheese!)

DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 350°F. In ungreased 9-inch pie pan or 1 to 1 1/2-quart baking dish, layer all ingredients in order listed.
Bake at 350°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until dip is hot and cheese is melted.

Serve warm with bagel crisps, bagel chips, pita chips, crackers or tortilla chips work too.

Picky Eaters

So I like to think I'll try anything once, but sometimes I just won't/can't do it. And the list of things I will not eat keeps growing and growing. Add that to a hubby that has a very narrow list of things he'll eat and its really hard to come up with new and interesting things to eat that are inexpensive and delicious!
Here's the shortlist of things that won't cross our pallet... Any recipe ideas are MUCH appreciated!
mushrooms
crumbly cheeses (blue, feta)
yogurt
beans (any type - including chick peas and refried beans-blech!)
-hummus in included in that too
capers
cilantro (at least in large quantities)
anchovies
Caesar dressing

There is probably so much more, but you can never think of it until its in a recipe!
So.... suggestions please!

Cookies...

So I always struggled with what to do with my over ripe bananas... I mean banana bread is delicious but I like options... So I'm open to new ideas, but this is one of my favorites!

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies (Softies)
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 ripe banana
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
walnuts optional but I think make them delicious!

Preheat oven to 350. Spray cookie sheets or use parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt on to a piece of wax paper (to make it easier to add it to the wet ingredients when its time)
In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream together the butter and brown sugar. Beat in the banana and egg, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until well blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Crockpot Thursday: Chicken & Dumplings

I missed posting my crockpot recipe yesterday! So here it is:

Chicken and Dumplings
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts =$2 @ Meijer
2 tbsp butter
2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup = $0.50 @ Walgreens
1 onion, finely diced = (had on hand)
2 pkgs refrigerated biscuit dough, each biscuit cut in half =$1 @ Meijer
Optional: peas and carrots = (peas = on hand), carrots = $0.35 @ Caputo's
I just threw in about 1/3 of a bag of frozen peas, and 1/4 of a bag of baby carrots cut in half

Place chicken, butter, soup, onion and some water to cover (I didn't add any water this time because the soup covered the chicken, and the chicken was frozen so I know it gave off a little water as it thawed)
Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours, and 1 hour before serving add the veggies and biscuits (I don't like my carrots mushy so I put them in an hour

TOTAL COST (Serves 5-6) = $4!!!!

mmmm Meat Sauce...

I could easily make my spaghetti sauce or "gravy" (haha) from scratch, but boy is that toooooo much work for a week day (maybe one Sunday I'll make it and post the recipe) but today I'm just using jar sauce and doctorin' it up!

I think the key to a good MEAT sauce is some sort of meat on the bone - that is where the flavor is! So I normally buy the cheapest pork I can find on the bone...
Of course this time I bought way more than I needed so my costs are going to be way off (but this will make a ton)

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Tomato, Cucumber, Mozzarella Salad

Meijer: Western Ribs - $4.51
Meijer: 1/2 lb ground pork - $1.92
Caputo's: 1/2 lb ground turkey - $1.35
2 jars of your favorite pasta sauce - I'm using Rinaldi that i had in the cabinet which I think I got at Jewel B1G1F ($1.50/ea)
1 box pasta (on hand)

you can use any spices you like in your sauce, I use garlic, fennel seed, italian seasoning, and oregano.


First I coat the pan with olive oil and throw 2 sliced garlic cloves in. Then salt and pepper the western ribs, and brown them in the pan. Once It is browned I add the ground meat and cook it through, and add the rest of the spices. Then throw in the two jars of sauce

and put the heat on low (and cook it ALL DAY!) okay I realize all day is vague and impossible, but I started it at 1pm for 6pm dinner... The western ribs should fall apart.

If you choose to make meat balls (which I didn't today), I always put them in the sauce for the last 30 minutes, it gives both the meatballs and the sauce tons of flavor, and the meatballs will be soooo moist. (a couple other yummy things to put in the sauce to make it tasty: italian sausage or braciole)

I'm only making 1lb of pasta, for dinner tonight and lunch leftovers for a couple days, but there will be soooo much sauce left - be prepared to freeze some for next time.

I also made a "salad" to go with the pasta...
2 tomatoes (Caputo's : $0.60)
1/2 cucumber (had on hand)
mozzarella ($1)
1 basil leaf (Caputo's: bunch = $1.49)
olive oil (on hand)
salt (on hand)
Romano (on hand)

I slice everything up and layer it around a bowl, salt the tomatoes, and top with olive oil and the basil leaf cut into ribbons. Let it marinade as long as possible - Top with Romano or Parmesan right before serving...
Total cost (Serves 4-6 with sauce left over for another 4 servings): UNDER $15

My Coupon Database - Post A

I went through a pile of coupons that I set aside because I have no use for them, or won't get around to using the coupon before it expires, I still have a ton of coupons to cut out and go through but here is the beginning of the list...

Super Easy Crockpot BBQ Pulled Pork

Sorry no pictures this time... I was hungry and gobbled it up before the camera could come out!

Strack & Van Til: Pork Loin Roast (approx. 3lbs) = $4.25
Meijer: Wheat Hamburger Buns = $1.79

Stuff On Hand: salt & pepper, 1/2 can of coke or pepsi, your favorite BBQ sauce

Season the Pork Roast with salt & pepper and cook in crockpot w/ 1 1/2 cups of water on high for 6 hours, or low for 8 hours. Take it out of the crockpot & pull the pork with two forks, and remove any bones if there are any in your roast. Dump out all the water & fat out of the crockpot and put the pulled pork back in. Add 1/2 can of pop, and as much of your BBQ sauce as you'd like (I used Open Pit Original & started with 1/4-1/2 cup, then added a little more right before serving) Cook on High for an additional hour with the pop & BBQ sauce.

Serve on Hamburger Buns with chips or fries! mmm mmm delicious!

Total cost (Serves about 6, maybe more) = UNDER $7!!!!

COST!

Thank You Laura for your suggestion on including the cost of each meal! That is brilliant! :)

I will include the cost with the recipes from now on, but to back track:

Tuesday: Lemon Chicken Schnitzel W/ Spaetzle
First, the Spaetzle was made from ingredients I think everyone just has laying around the house, and I didn't actually purchase anything to make it so I don't have a cost on that... but it is certainly under $1 to make.

Lemon Chicken Schnitzel:
Caputo's: Lemon = $0.25
Meijer: Chicken = $2
The rest of the ingredients I had on hand! so I will estimate it is under $1 in eggs, flour, and bread crumbs.
Cermak's: Roma Grape Tomatoes = $0.50 for a package (I used about half)
Approximate Meal Total (Serving 2) = UNDER $5!!!!!


Wednesday: Stuffed Pork Chops w/ Oven Roasted Veggies
On hand: Stove Top Pork Stuffing (I think I picked this up on sale for $1)
Applesauce (I picked up this at Target a while back with a Target coupon and a manufacturer's coupon and got a 6 pk for $0.14!)
Rhodes Wheat Texas Rolls $2.99 - $.75 coupon: good for 4 - 6 meals!

Stuffed Pork Chops (2 Servings)
Meijer: 4 thin cut pork chops = $3

Oven Roasted Veggies (4-6 servings)
Meijer: 2 Vidalia Onions = $0.59
Caputo's: 2 Turnips = $0.74
1 Garlic = $0.11
2 Sweet Potatoes = $0.39
1/2 bag Baby Carrots = $0.65
2 Potatoes = $0.30
Cermak's: 1/2 package Roma Grape Tomatoes = $0.25

On Hand: 1 Red Pepper, spices and olive oil = under $1

Approximate Meal Total (Serving 2) = UNDER $9 (lots of left-over veggies)

Stuffed Pork Chops and Oven Roasted Veggies

Stuffed Pork Chops

Okay, Okay... I admit its a weeknight, and unless its Thanksgiving, you won't see me making stuffing from scratch! So this is my "Semi-homemade" meal, with the use of Stove Top Stuffing :)

You should use Thick Cut Pork Chops, and butterfly them to stuff them, but again, I'm cheap, and Thin Cut Pork Chops were less expensive, so I am going to use them and secure two together with toothpicks! Season the chops on both sides with a little salt and fresh cracked pepper. I then pan-fried each chop (2 min on each side and then took a sheet pan, covered in aluminum foil, and sprayed with butter... Then place one Thin Cut pork chop down, put a tablespoon or so of stuffing in the center and put another pork chop on top. Secure along one side with tooth picks, repeat as necessary, and bake in a 350 oven for 15 - 20 minutes.

Oven Roasted Veggies (courtesy of Caputo's Markets)

Recipe:

2 Tbsp Olive oil (I don't measure this, just coat the pan and drizzle some on
top of the veggies...)
1 lb Rutabagas or Turnips, peeled and cubed
1 lb Onions, coarsely chopped
1/2 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 2 in pieces (I'll be using baby carrots)
1/2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
10 cloves of garlic, unpeeled (I'm just going to cut a whole head of garlic in
half & throw it in)
2 tsp sage
2 tsp rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
(I am adding a red pepper, a couple potatoes and some grape roma tomatoes to this recipe)














Preheat oven at 450. Heat roasting pan in oven for 15 min. Coat the pan with olive oil, and add veggies, garlic and sprinkle with herbs. Drizzle veggies with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.

Seal tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 30 min. Remove foil and continue to roast for 15 min or until veggies are tender.


Overall - pretty delicious! The pork chops were pretty moist considering how thin they were. And the veggies were good... we have a difference in opinion on what veggies are delicious [I'm not much of a fan of cooked carrots and potatoes (any other way than mashed and fries!) and he is not much of a fan of everything else!]

Other things on the plate:
Rhodes Frozen Wheat Texas Rolls... BEST invention ever! Spray a muffin pan, take the rolls out of the freezer 3 - 5 hours before you need to cook them, let them sit with a kitchen towel over them, and when you ready for dinner, throw 'em in a 350 oven for 13 min :) When they come out of the oven I brush garlic butter on them (2 tbsp of butter with 1 tsp of garlic powder is good for 6 rolls) DELICIOUS!

And yes, that is applesauce you see in the corner... "Pork Chops and Applesauce!"

A German Meal this evening

Lemon Chicken Schnitzel & Spaetzle

Lemon Chicken Schnitzel:
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
juice of 1/2 lemon or 2 tbsp on lemon juice
concentrate
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1 egg
1 tsp water
1/2 cup dry seasoned bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to 350. Place chicken in between two pieces of wax paper, and whack the crap out of it with the flat side of a tenderizer or a bottom of a bottle until the chicken is flattened out. Sprinkle the chicken with the lemon juice and let it sit for at least 10 min... BEWARE! the longer you let it set the more lemony it will be (but this process makes it nearly impossible to cook a piece of dry chicken... it will be moist and delicious every time!)
Make yourself an assembly line... 3 bowls and a lightly greased baking sheet (you can use whatever you have on hand, butter, oil, spray) 1st bowl: mix together the flour, salt, and thyme. 2nd bowl: beat the egg with the water. 3rd bowl: bread crumbs ( if you choose plain and you want to season it yourself I'd add 1 tsp of thyme to whatever your normal seasoning is to tie together the flavors) Then dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs and place it on the baking sheet. Bake 15 min.

Spaetzle:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder

Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil, reduce the heat and maintain a simmer. In a bowl stir all the ingredients together. Use two forks to drop the batter into the water in maybe 1/2 tbsp amounts. Keep it in small batches (1/4 of the batter at a time) When it starts to float to the surface, cover the pan and keep covered until the spaetzle appears to swell and is fluffy. Remove the dumplings and repeat. I use a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb the water, and when all is finished I salted and peppered the spaetzle and finished it off with a little fresh lemon juice...

Most German food is notorious for being rather flavorless. This was my first time making spaetzle and to be honest probably my last... It was quite bland and not really my thing, but that is spaetzle! Then Lemon Chicken Schniztel on the other hand is a staple around here! It is absolutely delicious and a must try :)

I had intended on making a salad to go with this meal, however the hubby is delivering pizzas this evening and I wouldn't have normally gone through the "making dinner process" on a pizza delivery night but I didn't know until I had already started. So I opted for some delicious grape roma tomatoes to give some color to the plate.

Welcome!

So I broke down... Welcome to my blog! I plan on posting menus, grocery lists, super-couponing deals, and recipes... lots and lots of recipes! I am new to the blog world so if anyone has any suggestions of other topics I should include, please, please, please let me know! That is all for now...
