It's time to go to the grocery store.

The cheapest family in America. Have you seen these people?

 No that's not my family!

My family is going to write a book called "Above our raisin'"

{laugh}

I need to buy the CFIA and learn a thing or two about a thing or two 'cause I spend their 'monthly allowence' on groceries in a week!

{sigh}

I'm am  : right here right now, going to vow to be more frugal. I'm going to sit down and make a family meal menu and make a grocery list only for the things I NEED !

...............meanwhile.............

I have no groceries.

There are a few things I ALWAYS have on hand.

eggs

milk

tortilla shells (corn and flour)

canned everything (seriously)

onions and bell peppers

long story short. ... I'm hungry

I have just the right ingredients for a yummy ummy scrumdidilyumtious FRITTATA!

heat a 9" cast iron skillet
I sauteed some onion and bell peppers until golden brown
removed from the pan
lined the bottom of the pan with corn tortillas (trust me)
mixed together 6-8 eggs and a splash of milk and a few shakes of hot sauce
pour egg mixture over the tortilla shells
add canned (very drained!) spinach,ham,the sauteed onion and bell pepper,pepper jack cheese , and salt and pepper to taste
bake in a 450 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until firm and golden brown

Do you hear that?

huh?

That's the sound of one really full belly (even withOUT tons of groceries)

If I had some shredded chicken to add to this and maybe some sweet corn...ahh..it would have been perfect!

Now I have to go create! My son is running for prince (who ever raises the most money for our school wins)

Have any fundraiser ideas?
