How I fed the Family for 2 weeks and only spent $86.05!!!
I decided that I was going to try to feed the family for 2 weeks and only spend $75! We have stuff in the freezer and the pantry, and I need to use it! I also have a bunch of coupons from the paper and the Internet that I wanted to use before they expire. I made a menu based on what I had, what I had coupons for and what cost the least to make. I made my list and went to the commissary this morning....I missed the goal by $11.05! I was so close! Below is the menu for the next 2 weeks with the recipes. Because most of these chicken recipes call for 4 breasts, I always have leftovers for either the next day for lunch or dinner. I have also frozen the leftovers for a night that I don't have time to cook! All of the recipes I have added to the blog. I hope this helps you all with fast, easy and inexpensive meals for your family!

2 cups northers beans, smash some before putting in the chili
