Just thinking tonight what I would like to make for dinner this week... So I got out my Kroger Ad and started to brainstorm...
Idea #1 - Sausage Casserole. Comfort food all the way. Jimmy Dean sausage is on sale BOGO. I use a box of cooked macaroni, 1 lb of cooked, drained sausage, some milk and flour, and cheddar cheese. Think tuna noodle casserole with a twist. Very very good! Check out Jimmy Dean's web site - they have tons of great dinner ideas. Use the other roll for a breakfast treat - or freeze it until you want to make another casserole.
Idea #2 - Pot Roast. What could be better than a crock pot meal? English roasts are BOGO. I have noticed that generally the BOGO meat specials are a pretty good deal. I always use one and freeze one. Try some Lipton Onion soup to season it. And whatever you do, don't forget to add the potatoes, onions, and carrots. Take advantage of all the apple sales right now - make some applesauce with this. Mmmmmm.... (I know you can buy it - but it is really very easy to make).
Idea #3 - Mac & Cheese - homemade just like Mom did. Well, OK my Mom never did - she was a Kraft kind of gal... but I imagine her mac and cheese to taste something like this compliments of Southern Plate. Cheese is on sale and you can get macaroni pretty cheap. {One time I tried hiding cauliflower in the mac and cheese - trying to get the kids to eat it. Not only did they not eat the cauliflower, they didn't eat the mac and cheese. Do. not. try. it.} Serve this with Campbell's Select Harvest Soup - also on sale.
Idea #4 - Roasted Balsamic Chicken Thighs. I must admit I am more of a white meat chicken person... But this... mmmmm... Mary over @ Deep Dish South has the idea. Most of what you need you probably have in your pantry. Thighs are on sale! You will also need potatoes, an onion, and a lemon. Serve with a nice side salad. And I bet some Sister Schubert's Rolls or Texas Toast (both on sale) would make this a nice traditional Sunday dinner.
Idea #5 - Seafood Night! How about steamed shrimp? Kroger shrimp is on sale. Steam them with some Old Bay and dip em in you favorite cocktail sauce! Serve some Green Giant Steamers on the side (on sale) as well some angel hair pasta with garlic butter sauce! If your kids are like mine and not into shrimp - Van de Kamp's Fish Sticks are on sale.
Idea #6 - Chicken Sandwiches. Nothing fancy here! Places to go, people to see! Tyson chicken is on sale. Buy buns - lettuce, tomato, cheese. Make a small relish tray for your side - carrots, cukes, celery (we love stuffed with cream cheese!), pickles - whatever you have! Then make a little fruit tray as well - pineapple and strawberries are on sale. Buy one or two Yoplait vanilla yogurt to use as dip!
Idea #7 - Pork Chops or Pork Loin! Whatever your pleasure here. I am leaning toward grilled chops here. I probably will buy a big bag of potatoes and make some mashed as a side. Or I might make some rice. Salad all the way too! Not wanting to waste a thing that I need in the other meals.
Remember to check out Southern Savers for potential coupon matches esp for the frozen stuff. Her deals/prices are not all the same because she is in a different region - but the coupons will work the same.
