    "redneck" - Canned chicken, pinto beans, diced canned tomatoes over brown rice. Add hot sauce. Simple and cheap.
    Microwave and enjoy.

    It is winter here so that means homemade hearty soups. Today it is chicken vegetable with lots of veggies including spinach and kale, homemade parmesean peppercorn bread and blackberries. I try to make homemade soup every weekend, share it with family or friends and eat it for 2 or 3 lunches during the week.

    Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Water Pouch $1.72
    (Love these cause you don't need a can opener or don't have to drain the water either)

    Lemon $. 50
    (I use 1/2 today & the other half for lunch tomorrow)

    Baby Cut Carrots $2.00
    (Large Bag that I use for the whole week. Spread them out over 10 meals)

    Strawberries $2.50
    (1 container that I use for 3 days. Spread them out over 6 meals)

    Kinda boring and plain. But tastes really good, especially the dry tuna with lemon juice!!!! :flowerforyou:
