Friday Food Plan 12/6

A great way to save extra money in your budget is to Menu Plan. No we don't always exactly stick to the plan and those times we just move the meal to the next week. I always have cereal, oatmeal, muffins and such around for breakfast or we can have smoothies from fruit and yogurt we have in the freezer.  Lunches vary from sandwiches, frozen dinners, leftovers, etc :)

Friday: Beef Stew (perfect crockpot meal for a snowy cold night!)

Saturday: Chicken & Noodles, Green Beans

Sunday: Ham & Beans, Cornbread

Monday: Stuffed Peppers, Rice

Tuesday: Pizza, Veggies & Ranch

Wednesday: Sloppy Joe, Mac & Cheese

Thursday: BBQ Ribs, Baked Sweet Potatoes, Corn

52 Week Money Saving Challenge

So I saw a cool idea on Pinterest and I think I am going to try it starting tomorrow, (well actually I am going to add week 1 & 2 tomorrow so I will be finished by Black Friday 2014). You put money in a jar that corresponds with the week you are on like this....

 

 

And as you can see by week 52 you will have $1378! That would be on heck of a Christmas Shopping Fund or even a great way to get your emergency fund started.

FRANK's® RedHot®

Looking for a yummy new appetizer for your holiday parties or football games? Franks Red Hot has two really easy and delicious recipes that you can try!

FRANK's RedHot Sweet Chili® Cream Cheese Dip 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup FRANK's RedHot Sweet Chili® Sauce
• 8 oz. pkg. Philadelphia® cream Cheese
• 2 cups Mixed cut raw vegetables (crudites) to dip

DIRECTIONS:

PUT Philadelphia® cream cheese in shallow soup bowl.

POUR FRANK's RedHot Sweet Chili® Sauce over.

ARRANGE crudites around.

 How simple is that right? And such a flavorful change on the classic veggie dip or ranch dressing!

How about this one...

FRANK’s® RedHot® BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 oz. pkg. Philadelphia® cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch salad dressing
• 1/2 cup FRANK'S® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce or FRANK'S® RedHot® Buffalo Wing Sauce
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese
• Alternative: You may substitute 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken for 2 cans (12.5 oz. each) SWANSON® White Premium Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, drained

DIRECTIONS:

HEAT oven to 350°F. Place Philadelphia® cream cheese into deep baking dish. Stir until smooth.

MIX in salad dressing, FRANK's® RedHot® Sauce, and cheese. Stir in chicken.

BAKE 20 min. or until mixture is heated through; stir. Garnish as desired. Serve with crackers or vegetables.

I think this would be great with some tortilla chips as a cool play on nachos/queso type appetizers!
