Great tips! I’m putting these in my entertaining notebook. With the kids getting bigger, I started a notebook just for all the First Communions, Confirmations, Anniversaries, Graduations, etc. coming up for the next five years.

I have been able to stretch the boxed mac and cheese beyond what’s recommended. Sometimes I think the portion sizes are huge. A box at our home serves 4 under age 7, plus a teenager with leftovers which are eaten quickly.

Great tips – my family isn’t quite as large as yours (only 6 of us), but we often have company or I want to make extra for the freezer.

Stop by some time, I have “cooking for a crowd” and “budget” categories on my mostly food related blog.

I found a noncrockpot granola on someone’s blog that is easy, cheap and awesome.

Here goes:

In sauce pan: combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 C canola oil and 1/2 cup honey. Bring to a low boil. Take of heat. Add 2 tsp cinnamin and 3 tsp vanila. Stir. Stir. Stir.

7 cups of old fashion oatmeal

Pour over oatmeal in a big bowl. Mix. Put in 9X 13 pan. Bake at 375 for 10 mins. Take out of oven and stir. Turn oven off and put back into oven for 4 hours or overnight. The oven is only on for like 15 mins.

I add flax and almonds and coconut when I have it. Maybe you will like this. I plan on trying your lentil enchiladas. May God Bless you and yours.

Great tips.

Well, I was going to say that I’ve never made Swiss Steak before, but that seems a bit redundant. Someone made this for us after our last baby was born and I’ve been craving it since. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

My husband has been asking me for Swiss Steak. It’s one thing I’ve never tried.

Thanks for participating in our link up!
