Meal Planning - February: Week 1, Day 2

I recently mentioned that Brian and I are trying our hand at meal planning. Monday was Homemade Pizza night. We had enough left over for our lunch on Tuesday. So the DFW Metroplex is on "lock down." Temperatures are dropping, the roads are iced over, so we are stuck at home. School was cancelled yesterday and today. Unfortunately, we were unable to go out to eat with our family for Taco Tuesday at Rosa's. I decided to make Chicken Pot Pie 1) because it's easy, 2) I wanted to use my stove/oven as much as possible to heat up the house.

HERE is the recipe I used:

1 Box - Pie crustisses ($.37/box HERE)  <---family joke

1/3 Cup - Butter

1/3 Cup - Chopped onion

1/3 Cup - Flour

1/2 tsp - Salt

1/4 tsp - Ppper

1 Can (14 oz) - Chicken broth

1/2 Cup - Milk

2 1/2 Cups - Shredded, Cooked Chicken

2 Cups - Frozen mixed vegetables

This was SO delicious. My hubby is very picky with his food, so I always ask if he likes what I cook. I got the thumbs up from him!

I think next time, I am going to triple the recipe, and freeze the filling for future use. That way all I have to do is put the frozen filling in the fridge before I leave for work to let it thaw. Then cook for dinner! Easy-Shmeezy!

Meal Planning - February: Week 1, Day 1

I recently mentioned that Brian and I are trying our hand at meal planning. This Monday was Homemade Pizza night. While we've made this hundreds of times before, I thought I'd share my dough recipe and a picture.

We use THIS dough recipe:

1 - Packet yeast

1 1/4 Cups - Warm water

2 T - Oil

1 t - Salt

3 1/2 Cups - Flour (Wheat & White)

We put all the ingredients in our bread maker and hit the dough cycle, leave it for about 30 minutes. (This dough recipe make 2-3 large pizzas)

Toppings:

Pizza Sauce

Shredded Cheese ($.99/bag)

Onion

Pepperoni Slices

Chicken Bits (Leftovers)

Pineapple Bits ($.99/whole at Aldi)

Pizza is very easy to make, and very frugal. And you can make it as healthy (or fat-teh-ning) as you want.
