Krogering this Week

What to make for dinner? The question of all questions! What to make so that it makes the most economical sense... So let's get out the Kroger Ad for the Columbus, OH region...

Cabbage is cheap and I bet you have precooked ground beef stored in your freezer. How about busy day cabbage rolls. Think cabbage rolls lasagna style. Layer, don't roll. Mmmmm!

Spaghetti and spaghetti sauce is on sale - $1!!! Last week, I tried something different - I made the noodles ahead, put them in my 9x13 pan and poured sauce all over them. Covered with foil. Then I put it in my oven to warm. Benefits - no sauce splatters! And my kitchen pans were all cleaned up before dinner! That to me is always the bummer about spaghetti - easy, yes. Messy, yes. But now I have a system!

Honeysuckle turkey tenderloins are on sale for $5.99. These are my new favorite easy dinner. Add some $1 bag Kroger vegetables for the sides to one of these. My goodness are they good! (Buy more than one and freeze - you never know when you need a quick dinner!)

Honeysuckle ground turkey is on sale. Give a little love to your heart and use ground turkey for a change in lieu of beef. Think chili, think sloppy joes, think meatloaf (just season it good)... You can't go wrong. Potatoes are always cheap - they would round out the meal nice.

Chicken breasts are on sale for $1.78. How do I love thee? Let me count the chicken recipes I can think of. Grill em, bread & bake em, put some Rice-a-roni in a skillet and cook em... Don't forget a fresh salad for this week. And remember - get extra and freeze them. Put two in a freeze bag and then you can get out just what you need.

Comfort food - how I love comfort food. Kroger's deli has American cheese for $2.99 a pound (remember to tell them to paper it). Get it, some Kroger bread, and a few cans of Campbell's Tomato soup. Grilled cheese and tomato soup! This is an easy dinner but a crowd favorite at my house! Go nuts in the chicken and make dessert today bc dinner was so easy! This cake is soooo moist - try it! Note: Strawberries are on sale too!

Breakfast for dinner! Kroger buns and syrup are on sale. Get em! Tracie, what are you thinking? buns and syrup! French toast it is! I read this recipe and would have never believed it had I not tried it myself. Honestly, the recipe is just like normal french toast - but using buns. What a great idea! I never throw buns out anymore. Wonderful! Bob Evans sausage links are on sale also.

That is it for this week! Be inspired!
