People say to me all the time, how do you feed your growing family on such a tight budget? I currently budget $125 for food and extras every week - and most weeks I stick to it! Well, here is one cheapo meal that my family loves. Pasta Fagioli! Cook pasta according to directions. Meanwhile in a skillet, heat some oil and garlic, add one can of tomato sauce and one can of water. Add one can of cannellini beans and heat through. Blend everything together and serve with hot pepper flakes and some parmesan cheese. I believe my girls can eat their own weight in pasta fagioli.
And for the people who couldn't care less about cheapskate suburban recipes, here is a gratuitous cute baby picture from this morning.
