Mommies Frugal Finds

Here's an easy kid friendly crowd pleaser. My kids love this. I don't know if it's the shape of the bite sized pasta or the sweet garden sauce they love but, nonetheless the always ask for seconds, or even thirds with this one. Ingredients.... 1 pound hamburger 1/2 jar of garden Pasta sauce I used the name brand this time but normally use the Great VAlue Wal-Mart brand with is actually better. 1 box of Radiatiore pasta 15 one cup servings breakdown of price per serving Hamburger $2.30 Sauce $2.69/2 = $1.34 .36 a 1 cup serving!!!! Serve with a cup of fruit or salad and top with cheese if you like.

Time to break out the blender! After the holidays everyone is on a new health kick. Well, I'm starting it early!!! No time like the present right? Or is that it's always a good time to get presents! Or is that to always be present. lol Just kidding! During the holidays there are so many treats. Home made cookies and fudge and pies galore. I have always had a bit of a sweet tooth so I love donuts, pies and candy! Yep, I'm like a kid at a candy store, actually I go crazy in candy stores, I want to buy everything! So the point I'm getting at (believe me I have a point) is that I need to start eating healthier. I was diagnosed with a condition called fibromyalgia which is an arthritis type of condition that causes a lot of pain and discomfort. So I'm looking into more natural ways of treating this very common condition and I've started taking vitamins and supplements, as well as trying to eat healthier, duh right?! I'm going to be turning 38 this year ...
