Cheap, Easy Meal

Little-to-prepare meal

There are days when I am wiped out.  I mean, I am too tired to cook a delicious, healthy meal.  That's why I have to whip something together quickly.  Not all of my meals are healthy.  Then, we must consider that our family is doing the No Takeout Challenge, and that will be lasting until the end of this year.

Waffle fries

I love waffle fries.  I loved the waffle fries from Chik Fil A, but I can't stomach the peanut oil that is used in their food.  That's why I was happy to see that our grocery stores carry these waffle fries.  

These generic waffles do not come seasoned.  That's fine because I ask my eldest to brush the fries with butter from a tub.  Then, I sprinkle black pepper, sea salt, and chives.  The fries are placed in the oven at the suggested time.  The waffle fries come out delicious!

Cheap pizza

These Totino pizzas are cheap.  In a pinch, it's better to eat these than nothing.  Believe me, I go without eating at times.  These warm up in the oven in no time.  It's as easy as wrapping aluminum foil onto an old cookie sheet and placing the pizzas on them.

Dessert--sliced peaches

In a desperate moment, canned peaches work as a wonderful dessert.  You can pair it with some cinnamon-flavored graham crackers.  The alternative is to eat it by itself.  That's how my kids eat it mostly--with nothing else but the juice.

Of course, a salad can also be eaten.  Spinach with tomatoes and croutons is perfect.  We can add either ranch or Italian dressing.  At least a salad is considered healthy.  In exchange, frozen broccoli can also be prepared quickly.

 

Well, thanks for reading about our cheap, easy meal.  I hope you got some ideas for your own meals.

 

What about you, my readers? Do you like Totinos pizzas? Do you like waffle fries?  What would you add or subtract from this fast, cheap meal?  I encourage you to get creative with quick meals.  Don't shy away from allowing your family members to eat what they want to eat, as long as they are eating from the recommended food groups, too.

May God bless you with His peace and wisdom, my beloveds.
