Since I posted last there have been some additions to our family. I wish I could say it was another child or two, but instead its two adults. My mom and step dad moved in with us on March 2nd. They are looking for a place to rent and trying to save some money in the meantime. Although they are giving us some money every week for food and utilities, I am trying to stretch our meals to feed 4 adults and a growing toddler, with the occasional meal for my 3 year old nephew who I tend. We have my nephew for some additional hours this week as his mommy is working overtime. Tonight I intended to make pizza. I have 3 mini pizza shells, 1/2 a jar of pizza sauce, pepperoni, canadian bacon, some pineapple and about 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese. I also have some parmesan.
So the trick tonight is to feed 4 adults and 2 toddlers. My plan is to make 3 pizza's, a box of noodle-roni parmesan pasta and a green tossed salad with olives, croutons and olive garden dressing. We have icecream bars in the freezer as well for dessert.

not the best priced meal, but still $3.00 per person isn't too bad
last night I fed 2 adults, a preteen and two toddlers chocolate chip pancakes. The entire meal cost $3.00. for all of us. With some pancakes left for breakfast today.
