I am babysitting my siblings and have a limited budget and need ideas for dinner. We have chicken, pizza and breakfast for dinner a lot so I am trying to think of something that is simply but different. Any ideas?|||SOUP! Inexpensive for the most part, typically healthy and tons of options. My husband and I both love to cook and we have come up with a wide variety of combinations most costing less than 5 dollars for a huge pot. If you have younger siblings, chicken flavors go well, use "fun" noodle shapes and they can help cook. My little sister is 7 and although she's a picky eater, she'll try just about anything that she was able to help with.
Rice and noodle casseroles can be cost effective too. Take precooked rice or noodles, your choice of veggies, your choice of meat (I use canned or leftover chicken mostly), a can of cream of your choice soup, and some cheese for a topping. Stick it in the oven until everything is thoroughly warmed and serve. Again, this is something that children can help with.|||How about tacos that you can make w/ beans, chicken or hamburger, taco mix, lettuce, cheese, salsa if you like it? Or a good big pot of spaghetti that will give you lunches for a couple of days too? You really can do a lot of stuff w/ chicken, but your sibs will like soup and sandwich night, and you can do that easily. Sloppy Joes are good, filling and cheap. So is a pot of chili w/ cornbread, and mix some corn into the cornbread mix - extra vegie. Tuna Noodle casserole, or chicken (canned) instead of the tuna, w/ mushroom soup, peas, egg noodles and sliced hardboiled egg? clean out the frige and make soup, you can find good recipes at miserlymoms.com, hillbillyhousewife.com, and Womansday.com|||Mac N Cheese!
