A lot of simple meals this past week. Vegetables were treated very simply, either sauteed or in a salad. Main dishes were quick and easy, with the exception of the spaghetti and meatballs.
The super cheap supper was on Sunday night. My family and I calculated that it cost about 20 cents for 5 of us. It will be hard to do a repeat of that though. But most of our suppers were in the $2 to $3 range, feeding 5 of us.
On Tuesday, you had blackberry-rhubarb sauce. Did you put it over anything, or just eat it as is?
ReplyDeleteHi live and learn,
Deletewe eat it as it is, like applesauce. It's about the consistency of applesauce. But called a "sauce", I can see how it does sound like something that you'd ladle over something else.
Sounds delicious, as always!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cat!
DeleteBurritos is a nice catch all for leftovers!! Rhubarb jello with pear slices sounds interesting and yummy...I don't grow rhubarb but bought several cans of strawberry rhubarb pie filling to try this vegetable in desert form. My husband is into making pies and recently experimented with apples which we usually buy from the bargain bin. Now that he has his crust recipe down, I think it is time to try rhubarb next!! Your plate of hamburger and veggies look so delicious and nutritious, far better than restaurant serve.

Hi YHF,
DeleteThat is so great that your husband is willing and interested in making pies! How yummily fortunate for you! :-)
Oh, yes, burritos do make great catch-alls. A little chili powder added to the leftovers and it all seemed to taste like it was intended to go together.
