This is more my speed! I landed on the “Beautiful Food” post first, but I’m still working on getting my concoctions (I mean creations) to taste good Lucky for me, my husband eats anything with a smile. I’m glad I stopped by. This looks delicious and I always need new recipes!

I just also want to encourage those of you who do like your meat and veggies seperately that it can be done. While many of you have access to all kinds of deals, I only have the commissary. With that said, I was still able to cut my grocery budget in half this month and have amazingly good food. I am happy to tell you that it just takes creativity like Jen said!

@Cooking On A Budget, I can recommend Crockpot Chicken with Black Beans and Cream Cheese

or
Spicy Chinese Chicken http://busy-at-home.com/blog/?p=996

Both are delicious and made with items straight out of my pantry.

Frankly, although chicken is my favorite meal, I am getting tired of the way it is prepared in the fast food places like KFC or El Pollo Loco…please publish a recipe that will take this meal to another level without breaking my wallet!

Although I think all of these look like they’d be worth a try, my creativity always has to involve separation…my kids are definately …”family members [who] want their meat separated from their veggies”…

As any good midwesterner should, though, I do throw in a ‘hot dish’ here and there…I mean, how can my kids be from Minnesota and not like even one thing mixed with cream of mushroom soup, a meat and a veggie ;D

Thanks for sharing your creative ideas!

I agree – cooking creatively can use up what you have, be resourceful and produce some amazing dishes!!! I love doing that with soups especially.
