I am talking about the whole meal I made that only cost me LESS than $3.00! It fed all 4 of us, plus leftovers!
BRAISED BEEF RIBS w/ ROOT VEGGIES over GARLIC COUSCOUS
I found the great looking meat on Manager's Special corner in Kroger yesterday. It had a higher MS price tag of $4.63 than the original $2.56 so I inquired at the Butcher Shop and lo and behold, gave it to me for $1.53! Since I don't use a lot of meat, total score!
I needed and bought broccoli, milk, apples, marshmallows and bread. I spent a total of $10.62!
Braised Beef Ribs w/ Root Veggies
1 lb. beef ribs
3 med potatoes, peeled and cut into big bite pieces
1-4 small carrots, peeled and cut same as potatoes
1/4 large onion
Saffron
Beef Broth- 1 can
Basil, Oregano, Garlic powder, Paprika- 1 tsp. each
2 cups water
1 T veg. oil
1/2 lime juice
Worstershire sauce- 2 tsp
S&P
Nutmeg-pinch
In a deep pan or dutch oven, brown ribs on both sides. Then set aside.
Assemble ingredients for broth. Do not add nutmeg, potatoes and carrots yet.
Put ribs back in and braise for 45 minutes on Med High.
Adjust salt then add in the root veggies and nutmeg.
Braise for another 15 minutes until sauce is reduced.
Garlic Couscous
2 cups of water
Saffron-pinch
S&P
Garlic powder, turmeric- 1 tsp
Butter or margarine- 1 tbsp.
2 cups of couscous
Boil water and spices. Add in couscous, mix in well.
Put lid and kill heat. Wait 5-8 mins and fluff.
So let's see how PRAYS played its part in this wonderful meal.
I only PURCHASED what I needed and can afford.
By REPURPOSING the existing veggies I have, I was able to create a dish I didn't have to fuss over.
ASKING the kids for input helped round out the meal. Kids love to give ideas on food.
In saying YES to their input, we put together a great meal that's already in our kitchen.
SUGGESTING and hinting that you need help with dinner often makes for a better meal plan.
Can you find a great meal in your pantry?
