Bertolli Frozen Lasagna

.
Sooo Whats your Fav Non Homemade meal? We are absolutely in Love with these Bertolli Frozen lasagna meals. Easy and quick and SUPER YUMMY(Thanks to my friend Carolyn for sharing because i NEVER would have bought these EVER) So no these are def not the cheapest meals out there(around 6-8$ and feeds 2, rarely coupons come out but when they do i stock up, got this round for $4 after coupon and GC from Target) but i havent found any good "quality" frozen family meals.(If You have i would LOVE to hear from you!!!) We were eating the Contessa Sesame chicken skillet meals, but they have lowered the chicken quality the last time i wasnt sure i was going to be able to eat mine (bleck!)

So anyway. I would say we have this about once a month, yes its a little more than i like to spend but the quality is def there to make up for the price tag!

Topped it off with the New York Chibotta Bread



Total meal cost $5.50

Homemade Chicken Finger Sandwiches and French Fries

So tonights menu was Chicken Finger Sandwiches and French Fries. This is one of my personal favs.. Sorry no Pic, I forgot and we ate them all up!

You can buy raw tenders but its much cheaper (usually) to make your own.(Take for example this week at FO raw tenders were $2.30/lb while breast were $1.98 lb, its very easy to cut your own) Take boneless skinless breast and trim fat and cut in strips. Coat in mixture of Flour and lemon pepper. Deep Fry, Put on Hamburger buns and serve with sauce of your choice. I like Texas pete Honey mustard. B- likes Kraft Sweet and Sour.

For French Fries- Peel potatoes. I have a fry cutter($8 at Bed bath and Beyond) if you dont have one cut in fry shape, place in bowl and fill with water, let soak about 10 mins. Remove all water and deep fry.

Oh Sooo Yummy!!!
