A frugal dinner as promised

Tonight's dinner was a Mexican Casserole!  It was a HIT with the hubby!

RECIPE....Total cost for this meal = $1.83 and you even get dessert out of it!
1   can Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits - final cost w/coupons = .22
1   LB. Ground Beef  - Got on sale .77 per pound
1   can Hot Rotel - final cost w/coupons  .16
1   cup corn - leftover from dinner.....but yes, it was FREE Green Giant steamers w/coupon
1   tsp. pepper
1   tsp. garlic salt
2   tsp. onion powder
1   Tbsp. chili powder - I use New Mexico chili powder
1   cup shredded cheese (We prefer colby/monterey blend)  .44

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Cook ground beef with all spices.  Take 6 of the biscuits and cut them into quarters.  When ground beef is cooked move it to a bowl and add Rotel and corn.  Then add the quartered biscuits and lightly stir to make sure the biscuits are coated with mixture.  Add mixed ingredients to a greased 9x13 pan.  Bake for 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.  Add cheese to top and bake another 10-15 minutes.  We topped it with shredded lettuce (from our garden), sour cream (.09) and salsa (Free w/coupon). 

REMEMBER????  You had two biscuits leftover from the 8 roll you just used for dinner!  Here is a quick, easy and delish dessert!

RECIPE
2 leftover biscuits from the ones you used from dinner - price is included in the dinner
Cinnamon/Sugar mix - maximum probably .15

Heat approximately 1 - 2 inches of vegetable oil in a frying pan or sauce pan.  Take the remaining biscuits and cut each one into 8 pieces.  Once the oil is hot enough drop the biscuits "bites" in.  Let fry for approximately 1-2 minutes or until nice golden brown.  Remove from oil and roll in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.  Ever had a churro....well, that is what these remind me of just a little softer texture on the outside...oh boy are they YUMMY!

Dinner recipe - Sorry not tonight :(

Well, I spent entirely too much time out in the garden today getting it ready for spring planting!  My husband got sent to work (night shift 6:30pm-6:30am) with leftovers for dinner :(     So, tomorrow (Tuesday) I will post a recipe using my coupon finds as promised in my previous post!

~FOODIES~

One of my wonderful readers asked me if I would be willing to help them out a little with putting together a recipe/meal every so often with the items that I purchase with coupons.  Well, you get what you ask for around here....I am going to try to post a recipe/meal plan atleast 1-3 times per week to show you how exactly I incorporate the items that I get for cheap/free.  Check back Monday, Feb 15, for the first of the posts of what I make for yummies with freebies & cheapies!

GARDENING!!!!

Due to quite a number of requests, I am going to post each month about vegetable and herb/flower gardening.  In the monthly post I will include a full list of veggies and herbs/flowers to direct sow and start indoors for future transplanting.  I hope this will be informative for anyone interested in gardening, whether you're a beginner or a serious "Green Thumber". 

*The information below is only a recommendation from experience and is for the Tucson/Phoenix region*

FEBRUARY IS HERE~~~~~LET'S START GARDENING!

So, it's February and that's the time to start!  Our usual last frost date is around February 15th so now is the time to get prepared for planting. 

Direct sowing (planting the seeds directly into the ground or pots outside) for February 10-15th are as follows:

• Bush Beans
• Cantaloupe
• Carrots
• Corn
• Lettuce
• Potatoes
• Radishes
• Summer Squash
• Watermelon
• Onions
• Artichoke
• Asparagus
• Beets
• Kale
• Mint
• Peas
• Spinach
• Swiss Chard
• Turnips
• Basil
• Oregano
• Parsley
• African Daisy
• Alyssum
• Hollyhocks
• Pansy
• Petunia
• Poppy
• Snapdragons

Start the following indoors so they have a headstart for transplant in March:

• Peppers
• Tomatoes
• Tomatillos
• Marigolds
• Zinnia
• Nasturtium
• Salvia

This is the month that you should finish pruning up any roses and deciduous trees.  After the 15th (or last frost) start fertilizing and make sure you use a calendar or notebook to keep track of your fertlization dates.  I go organic and fertilize with fish emulsion, seaweed extract and compost tea.

*If you need any recommendations as to what variety of a vegetable/herb to plant please feel free to email me or post a comment...I would be happy to help!  :)   

Happy Gardening!
