I just love when I get the steam coming of a dish when I snap a shot!

So, what is your go to meal when you are in a rush? In my opinion, there is nothing easier than a nice pasta and sauce dish. I usually make my own sauce, but when you are knee deep in baseball, blogging, science projects and deadlines, you tend to reach for the convenience foods. I always have a jar of pasta sauce on my shelf. You can take a few extra yet simple steps to make it your own. Add some spices, meat and cheese. You can instantly make it taste homemade. And they best part is you don’t have to simmer your sauce for hours.

Skillet Lasagna 6

Yep, this is another $10 EASY family friendly meal!
It’s basically a deconstructed lasagna. It’s quite delicious I tell ya.

Don’t you just love lettuce wraps?
You can eat a plethora of them and not feel guilty or feel like you need to go purge.
I honestly don’t remember the first place I had them, put I remember the coolness of the crispy lettuce against the piping hot filling. It was pure heaven. And very low in carbs. Yeah, I could probably live on lettuce wraps for the rest of my life. And the fact that this meal serves a family of four for $10 means my grocery bill would be pretty cheap for dinner for the remainder of my years. However, I am sure my offspring might object on the lettuce wraps for the rest of their lives.

This is another easy and family friendly meal I created for Sweetbay Supermarket’s $10 meal Challenge. Do you think you have a great $10 meal that feeds a family of 4? You can click here to submit your recipe!!!

When I was developing my $10 meal recipes for Sweetbay Supermarket, they gave me the idea of developing a different type of Shepherds Pie. While my Guinness Shepherds Pie is wildly popular, I didn’t want to use beer in their recipe and wanted to take the step of making mashed potatoes out of the equation. So I made an easy Shepherd Pie Filling and put it over baked potatoes and topped it with cheese! YUM!

I love serving “different” meals to my family. And yep, it’s only $10 to make this dinner.
It might come in under if you run to Sweetbay Supermarket this week because 80% lean ground chuck is $2.79 lb.

I think I professed my love for hamburgers in my last Favorite Things Thursday Post.

There is nothing better than a big fat juicy hamburger. A big fat juice hamburger on a toasted bun, slathered with aioli sauce, melty cheese and a creamy avocado…..oh pinch me now!

Like I said last week, I like my hamburgers with lots of coarse Kosher salt and lots and lot of freshly ground pepper. And I like them on the rare side of medium- rare! If there is juice dripping off my elbow when I am eating it, well then  I know my work as the master hamburger griller is done!

You get this delicious hamburger and a side of homemade sweet potato fries all for $10! Yup.

I remember as a kid having Sloppy Joe’s A Lot.
I’m pretty sure they were the canned variety.

Until I created this recipe for Sweetbay Supermarket , I always used the canned Sloppy Joe sauce too.

But let me tell you, making the sauce from scratch is not only WAY better than the can, but it is also really really easy!!!

And how fun is it to make those Sloppy Joe’s opened faced? And on some cheesy Texas Toast!!! Much better than a boring ol’ bun.

In my opinion, you just can’t serve these old school sandwiches without corn on the cob. That would be like having grilled cheese without tomato soup. It’s illegal I think.

What really put this meal over the top is that is feeds a family of four, takes less than 20 minutes to cook AND it’s only $10!!!!!!!

This is such a pretty dish, kinda hard to believe it only cost $10 to make. But it did. I created this recipe for Sweetbay Supermarket and it had to come in under $10. Feeding a family of four can be easy with Sweetbay Supermarkets fresh ingredients and top-quality meats at low prices.

Another thing I love about this dinner is that it is a one dish meal. That means less for me husband to clean :)

I love it when grocery stores have coupons right on their web site. That means I don’t have to run out to the newsstand on Sunday morning in my pajamas to get the newspaper to get the coupons.

Love me some Chili. However I am not a big fan of chili with Kidney Beans.
My Mom would cook chili with beans, I would eat it and not complain, because I was a good kid like that. I would sift the chili in my mouth and spit out the kidney beans in my napkin. Ewwwww.

When I created this recipe for SweetBay Supermarket I wanted a different take on the normal chili.

A taco take!  This would be perfect to have on the stove for “The Big Game” coming up!
This is a chunky chili filled with corn, black beans and taco seasoning. YUM
Serve it with some easy to make Boxed corn bread with some corn thrown in there.
Perfect!
