Work At Home Family Talk Radio

Today is my son’s birthday and it is far from being a fools day.  I do want to appologize for the fact that the blogs have not been updated lately.  I just have had the blahs and haven’t been able to get over them.  Now I hope I am back on track.  Thank you all for your patience with me.  Now on to bigger and better. 

How to feed a family of 6 for $450 a month.  Tonight it is Lasagna.  The nice thing about this meal is that it makes enough for left overs.  I used the recipe off of the box so I didn’t have to cook the noodles.  The total time in the oven is about an hour and it can be made ahead so all you have to do is put it in the oven when you get home.  The cost break down for me was: meat 1.99, sauce (26oz jar) $1.30, water, ricotta cheese 1.45, mozarella cheese in the bag 1.99, parmasan cheese (1/4 of the bag) 1.99, noodles (1/2 box) 1.64, 2 eggs (2/12) 1.50.  so the total cost for 12 servings was 9.12/ 12 = .76 per serving.  So we have two meals for $9.12.  you can serve the lasagna with salad for an additional 1.99 & Italian bread for 1.50 plus a dessert of pudding or jello.  Jello is about .50 for box plus water.  So our total meal tonight is 13.11 which leaves us  $436.89.  Tomorrow we go easy…
