The ham flavoring for the beans are best when you put it in the last 15 minutes your beans cook. It doesn’t get cooked away that way.

Ham & beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread are considered one of the best meals we can have in our house. I often add sliced onion to the potatoes when frying them. I sometimes add barley to the beans when I cook them. My husband grew up eating this meal about once a week. I grew up eating bean soup. Thank you for the meal ideas.

Broccoli chicken rice casserole: can use instead rice & equal water or precooked rice. 1 can of chicken or whatever leftover chicken you have. I can of cream of chicken soup, can of water, bag of frozen broccoli, chopped or florets, velveeta cheese & couple teaspoons of butter. Mix all together & bake. My kids loved this, sometimes didn’t even want it baked. Another tip for your crockpot beans or baked beans, add about a tablespoon of dry mustard or save the little pks of Chinese hot mustard packs, this adds a nice little kick to the sweetness. Yummm.

I try and take a minute to look at all of the weekly ads, see what I already have in my kitchen, and plan from there. Publix is pricey, but they have great BOGOs. In most states you can purchase only 1 BOGO item, and then it's only half price. When they's a Publix brand item, sometimes you can get a great quality item for super cheap!

My grocery stores are the same. We do not have Engles. I do not like coupons, many times it costs more. I like your menu being based on what you+ actually are buying. I never add salt. Herbs and olive oil. I use bay leaves. I can afford to buy all the groceries I want, however, when I was 15 I began cooking for my family on a very limited budget. I can feed a family of three using 1lb of hamburger and one chicken a week. Fifty five years + later those habits are still with me. Jiffy cake mix and corn muffin mix plus a bag of carrots and 5lb of potatoes is still important.
