God is Good!

My new goal during this time of unemployment is to create meals for $10 or less. On occasion, I might set a budget of $15 (especially on Friday nights). So I will think about what I can make that my husband will like, that we haven't had, and/or that will be cheap. Every time I think about a dish to make, I get to the grocery store and the meat needed for the dish is on sale! Gotta love it. I made tacos the other night. Well for me, it was a taco salad, but surprisingly my husband liked the tacos.

When I make the ground beef for the taco meat I add tomato sauce (just a small 8 oz can), water and sometimes the frozen potatoes diced into small pieces (obrien hash browns). I let it reduce with the seasonings and it really makes it tasty! Adding a little chorizo makes it yummy too!

I don't usually buy the taco shells that are pre-made but the other day they were on sale and it was $1.25 at Vons for 12 and the corn tortillas (which are hard to find in a package less than 3 dozen) were more expensive. Hmm. they weren't bad either.

You may be asking what does this post have to do with God being good? Well, I think He gives me the ideas for the food to make and prompts me on which local market to shop at. But that's just my thinking...
