Eating Well on a Budget

I've added several new recipes to Mama's Fixins. Boy, I was in the kitchen alot this weekend! While I was grocery shopping on Saturday I decided to take advantage of the peaches that were on sale. I bought plenty and made three Peach Pies, one for dessert after lunch on Sunday, and two for our Sunday evening Bible study. Would you believe that they're all gone?


I also bought some asparagus on sale, and whipped up an impromptu dinner of Farfalle Pasta, Asparagus, and Zucchini. It was delicious, and we finished up the leftovers for lunch today.


Autumn and I also prepared for our Sabbath meal on Saturday evening. We made Randi's Gyros, and homemade pitas. Mmm... All we had to do was place the meat in the oven and set the timer before we left for worship on Sunday morning. We also prepared a green salad to accompany the meal. We had plenty of leftovers, and we ate again tonight.


While we were in the kitchen, I roasted some garlic.

I used this Sunday afternoon to whip up Roasted Garlic Hummus. I'd never had hummus before, but I really enjoyed it. Mac was thrilled, and gave me a kiss to say "Thanks".


Last but not least, I also made an Orzo Salad that Carrie had on her blog, With All That I've Been Given. I actually made this for dinner last Tuesday, but made another batch for Bible study as well. Everyone enjoyed it and asked for the recipe.


I hope that you'll enjoy these recipes, too!

I almost forgot! Somewhere in there, we put up ten quarts of corn. I'm glad I didn't have to cook today!
