Gotta keep it quick here, but wanted to post a few new pics of meals we had a la coupon! Hope you enjoy them!
Foreman Grilled Cheese Sandwich
That grill's come in handy this summer! You can use the Kraft American slices, but I used another type of cheese.
I layered tomato and roasted pepper between the cheese and deli flat and grilled for 2 minutes. Yum!

BBQ flavored Grilled Chicken Tenders
My daughter got hooked on the PBS America's Test Kitchen show. When I ordered one of their books with the accompanying DVD, she gravitated to this recipe. It's meant for skinned pieces of chicken but I used the dry rub on chicken tenders and grilled them on the Foreman Grill.
Pat the chicken dry. Marinade in the rub for at least one hour. Cook on the heated Foreman Grill for about 5-8 minutes or until done.

On the Go Parfait
I did my first ever nutrition/coupon tutorial with the Metanoia Freedom School parents during the annual parent's night educational series. I wanted to spend as much time as possible talking about saving money with coupons, so I showed the families a couple of recipes that kids could make on their own without turning on the kitchen stove. Why is it in a cup? To show the parents that if kids are running late to school they can still have a decent breakfast in the car on the way to school. This parfait was the first recipe.
1 Yoplait Blueberry yogurt
1 Nature Valley granola bar, broken into bitesize pieces
I simply layered the cup yogurt, 1/2 granola bar pieces, yogurt, the rest of the granola. Breakfast or snack is served. *For a less sugar version, I used a Dannon Greek plain fat free yogurt with about 2 Tbsp mandarin oranges.

Kashi Supreme Thin Crust Pizza
The empty nest is not so empty anymore and our fashionista wanted to try the Kashi Pizza. I asked her to dress it up with the following:

Easy Pasta Salad
G, how easy is it you ask? So easy, my husband made it from my instructions while I redid a lot of my food coupon pictures. It's a variation of the Tortellini and Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad recipe on this site.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Remember that Pork Rib Italiano from the last post? Just as I'd mentioned, it was awesome as a quick lunch! I just shredded one country rib with about 2 teaspoons of barbecue sauce. Nuked it for about 40 seconds and then filled 2 Sara Lee whole wheat hotdog buns and lunch was great that day! Sorry the photographer got hungry in the middle of the shoot.
