Ok, so we're really working on trying to stay on a better budget. We are not very good at this however and often find ourselves wandering through a grocery store at 5p with the Soup Kids in tow.
Darling Mr Sunday's Soups decided he wanted a very delicious recipe for meatballs with tomato and pesto sauce with a side of roasted brocolli rabe. Seriously great. Seriously $50 last time we made it because of COURSE once you are in the store, other things follow you home...like an extra bottle of wine.
We are making due tonight. I just invented a LOVELY pantry pasta salad. Cooked up a box of rotini, tossed in a couple of chopped tomatoes, a can of drained/rinsed garbanzo beans and a sack of frozen grean beans. I added a bit of Italian Dressing and a scoop of mayo. Not roasted brocolli rabe, but delicious in its own way and the kids will eat it. Plus, plenty for lunch boxes tomorrow.
I do have a package of ground turkey thawing. Thinking of making making due turkey meatballs. Not sure what exactly the recipe is for those just yet, but will whip up something and report back later! Along with the reaction of Darling Mr Sunday's to the make due meal.

That pantry pasta sounds yummy! Going to have to give that a try.
Can't wait to hear some more of your 'making do' recipes!
