Eating at home is so much cheaper AND healthier for you. You know exactly what is going in to your meals. I really struggle with the prices now at a restaurant. It is amazing how long we can eat off of what we pay for one average dinner for two at a restaurant.
- Breakfast for Dinner (pancakes, omelets, grits, hashbrowns, breakfast casserole, etc.)
- Extraordinary Linguine and Clam Sauce
- Salmon Patties
- Spaghetti
- Shrimp Gumbo
- Minestrone Soup
- Potato Soup (This is a great recipe that can easily be changed to clam chowder by adding a can of clams!)
- Chicken and Rice
- BLT – I was 45 before I ever tried this and cannot believe how much I was missing! I know…I please easily. But seriously, what a great combination for a sandwich. We did change ours, though. We use spinach for ours, and we toast our bread. YUMMY!
- For nights I do not feel like cooking, Little Ceasar’s has large peperoni pizzas for about $5.
About Extraordinary in the Ordinary
I am a professional photographer who lives and works from her heart. My goal is always and in everything to be better today than I was yesterday. I’m an ordinary person dealing with what I like to believe are ordinary issues, but in all the ordinary days, I want to live an extraordinary life.
I am the mom to two grown sons, and there has been nothing I have loved more than being their mom and being home with them. And while you are always a mom, there is a certain part of that time in my life that is over now that they are grown. I miss hearing them play and having them with me all the time and having all their friends over, but it is time to move to the next stage of life or at least trying to figure out what that is.
I am making a list of personal goals, connecting with friends, and still nesting even though the children are grown. I think I will always be a "nester". Home is where the heart is. I love home and love making it a healing place of peace and comfort.
