Meal Plan Monday
I have recently discovered $5 Dinners blog and have spent some time checking out the recipes on her site. This week, we’re going to try three of her recipes. Because we have six people in our family, I will have to spend more than $5 and am hoping to keep it around $6-$7. I do have a teenage boy who has hit his growth spurt and he can easily consume two or more servings and the lucky kid stays thin! I doubt if I’ll break down the cost of everything, but I am going to be more aware of what I purchase and prepare this week.

Cool! WE love $5 dinners, too!
I’m hoping to make the crockpot pork roast w/apples next week.
