Meatless Monday!!!! Black Bean Tacos!

Black Bean Tacos
Taco filling:

  • 1 can black beans (To save more buy dried ones and boil the for about an hour. You will also get 3 times as much)

  • 1 can dicied tomatoes

  • 1 package taco seasoning
Heat can of tomatoes including juice in sauce pan over medium heat, add taco seasoning, stir together well, then add the black beans. Heat over medium heat until it thickens. As it thickens make sure not to let it stick. (Don't forget to wash and rinse the can beans)

  • Heat 1 box taco shells- I love the Ortega Mulitgrain ones.

  • Fill shells with bean mixture and other taco fixings of your choice, such as lettuce, sour cream or greek yogurt, or cheese.

  • Serve with a salad and brown rice.

You can also put the filling mixture over rice and serve with salad to save a little more.

Yummy, Fast, Healthy and Cheap!

Check out Walgreens: 7 Days of Photo Deals!

Walgreens: 7 Days of Photo Deals! This link will take you over to one of my favorite blogs The Prudent Patron. She has a recap of Walgreens 7 days of photo deals.

Project Garden Begins Week One

Project Garden Begins

Today the family started a garden. What a great way for veggie lovers like us to save money. When Rylee(my daughter and I) went to Lowe's I had every intention to just buy seeds to plant, but we ended up coming home with a combination of seeds and plants. Then my farm boy husband went to work teaching Rylee how to plant a garden.

We planted watermellon, squash, zucchini, beets, eggplant, orkra, spinach, tomatoes, basil, parlsey, dill, and cilantro.

Total spent getting the garden ready, (which included soil and organic plant food needed for the season), plants, and seeds $47.03.

Can not wait to tally my savings and show off what we have grown. Most of all I am excited for Rylee to learn where her food comes from and hope she gains an appreciation for the work that goes into it.

My Favorite CVS and Walgreens Deals

When it comes to shopping the drugstore deals, I only shop at one of the two each week depending on the deals. Deal seeking should been fun and easy. You should not spend all your free time running from store to store.
