the food budget of a formerly sane woman

Today was grocery day, and I want to tell you how I plan to feed this large family  of 11 on the 73.00 we spent on groceries this week.  I contributed 51.00 to the grocery budget for the week, and one of the young adults living here threw in another 22.00 to make it happen this week.

What did we get for our 73.00 you ask?

3 cans Pilsbury grands biscuits
a whole tenderloin that we had the butcher cut into 2 roast and the rest pork chops that will feed us for 3 meals
a package of chicken wings 
a large bag of shredded cheddar cheese
2 packages american cheese singles
1 jar alfredo sauce (a little splurgy but they like buffalo chicken bubble up and i like them)
2- 5 lb bags of potatoes
2 bags frozen mustard greens
2 packages of boneless country ribs
1 red onion
2 jars mayo
2 bottles bacon ranch dressing

Now This doesn't seem like a lot to feed a family of 11 with but if you follow me through out the week I will post about each nights meal and we will together see If Ive managed for another week to make it all happen on the meagerest of budgets.. 

Tonight - Night #1 we have buffalo pork bubble up it is the same recipe as he buffalo chicken bubble up but with pork instead of chicken. The critics reported that they liked the chicken version better, but that this version was awesome too..

Here is the recipe

buffalo ranch franks red hot pilsbury grands ideas and recipes


Buffalo shredded pork Bubble Up
  • 2 can (12oz) refrigerated flaky pilsbury grand biscuits
  • 3 cups cooked shredded buffalo pork
  • shredded buffalo pork (i simmered my pork for about 3 hours in 1 cup franks red hot wing sauce and 1 pack ranch dressing powder let cool then shredded and return to juices stirring to mix it all up well)
  • 1/2 cup bacon ranch liquid salad dressing
  • 1 jar alfredo sauce
  • 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cut your biscuits in 4 pieces and place them in a mixing bowl, add to that half of the shredded mozzarella, the liquid ranch stir to coat pieces then spread evening in the bottom of a lightly greases casserole dish, on top of that add your shredded buffalo pork and the juices evenly top with remaining cheese and baked in a 375 degree oven for 30-35 minutes until cheese is bubbly and brown.. 
In other news it was a pretty busy day in the decal factory (by factory i mean small work area in my den) Here are some of the decals I'll be shipping off with the mail lady today. 
decal for car window, gray wolf decal with name or initials, spirit guide animal wolves

fishing decal, sportman decal, sportsman decal, sportsmen sticker vinyl

witch with striped leggings monogram vinyl decal sticker

The fish whisperer decal is quite popular I cut 4 of those yesterday and 2 the day before. It started as a design for the pocket are of a shirt for my son I had no idea it would take off like it has but Im proud of it. Maybe someday Ill have a decal factory (by factory i mean small shop in the middle of town, or a workshop here on the plantation at very least)
