For awhile now I've been in the quick and easy mode for dinner. Two of my kids are in school and it seems that with each school year things get a bit busier. I've been collecting recipes that are healthy, but inexpensive and quick. If I don't have a plan for dinner by the time I leave to pick the kids up from school, it's often a fast, unhealthy or expensive dinner out. I love the Campbell's Soup recipes. They are made for moms like me that have basic ingredients around, want to make a healthy meal and need it quick. Being that Modest Middles is a home-based business, I can do the prep right before I pick up the kids and pop it in the oven when we get home from the various after-school activities. Eating at home has saved us a significant amount of money. Phil and I are bargain hunters, but with four hungry kiddos, it's hard to get out of a restaurant on the cheap. When we do go out (1-2x/week) we use the internet to find kids eat free restaurants in our area. Lately we've seen more restaurants (like Denny's) offering 2 free kids meals with the purchase of each adult meal. A little research goes a long way to stretching the budget!
