Meal #1 Shake that bake
This is a simple meal, yet tastes so great. Take 4 chicken breasts and place in a large zip bag. I prefer the gallon Everyday essentials bags at County Market. Marinade these lovely pieces with any of your back stock oil or vinegar dressings. I have Ken's Balsamic with Honey, and Raspberry vinaigrette in ample supply. When I get home from shopping I will make up 4 bags of each. 16 total chicken breasts, all marinaded and ready for me. I'll freeze 3 of each flavor and the others go in the fridge.
What do you know, I've just prepped 8 meals in the time it took to prep 1. I love saving time that way. Next I will go ahead and split out some dry rub for grill time. I'll just mix it up in a recycled frosting container and mark the contents as grill rub. When I'm ready for the chicken, it can thaw overnight in the fridge, then when I'm ready to cook, I just shake some rub on the chicken and grill. This week we have Knorr sides on sale, the rice dishes can cook on the grill top. Add a fresh tossed salad, all the fixins are on the 10 for $10 sale. Take your pick. Should the weather turn, bake in the oven, these will still be tasty.
Meal #2 Beer Can Chicken
The whole fryers are only $3.50-4 each. Yet when I grill this slowly this Saturday afternoon, I'll be able to keep the left overs for Chicken fajitas later. So we're preparing a $4 chicken and covering at least 2 dinners. I like to roll the chicken in a seasoning blend before mounting it on the stand. I have lots of Weber chicken seasonings from our August coupon steal, where we paid $.25 each. Need something new? Try Sunbird's glaze mixes with this coupon. This is perfect to seal in the juice and flavor our bird. We can't really have beer can chicken without a can of beer, IL shoppers, look for Busch Light deals for $8 off Salty Snacks when purchasing the beer. Makes a good cooking or drinking element, and we can rebate the purchase of chips!
Compliments are simple:
Meal #3 Mile High Nachos
Make this pile easy. Super Crunch chips are on sale for only $.99 So we'll use the ground beef from last week's stockpile, and we'll add in some Nacho cheese sauce from Campbell's soups, some fresh tomato, onion, and lettuce. I like to warm the cheese sauce and let the kids fix their own pile. Add a little milk to the can so it is liquid. Taco Bell brand salsa and beans are on sale-look for tearpad coupons to save $1 on 2, and you have Mario Olives for $1, many coupons available for $1 off making those free this week. Add in some Guacamole from Wholly Guacamole's stockpile in August (my freezer has 6 boxes), and sour cream from Daisy, use the $.50 on 1 Catalina coupons. This becomes a great meal at under $4, and uses many items from our stockpiles.
Freezer Stock:
- Chicken Breasts-split them before freezing and place in gallon bags. Take another larger 2 gallon bag to put your frozen veg, season mixes and other meal prep into one large 2 gallon ready to go meal bag.
- Whole Chicken-$77 lb always a good buy
- Taco Bell refried beans, $.88 with coupon $.33 each
- Super Value tortilla Chips $.99, store in seal tight containers up to 4 months.
