I recently invited my dad and step-mom over for dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday. The old Julie would stress over the perfect balance of food offerings and presentation. The new laid back Julie enjoyed the challenge of creating a meal based on sales. It was pretty simple really!!!
I grilled speckled trout that was given to us by a friend. I covered it with lemon juice and then sprinkles of salt and pepper. It was wonderful!!! I didn't expect it to be so good and non-fishy!
I grilled chicken breast that I found a rare dollar off coupon for and marinated it in this marinated that I believe was around 2 bucks.
I grilled corn on the cob that was on sale for 30 cents at Brookshires!! If you have never grilled corn on the cob, I highly suggest it!
French bread loafs were on sale BOGO for 1 cent and salads were BOGO for 1 cent. Check and Check!!
Even salad dressings were BOGO for 1 cent PLUS I had TWO dollar off coupons!!! I was wrecking shop!
If you are doing the Math in your head (insert nerd alert), the minimal cost of this entertainment meal is clearly impressive.
I forgot to take pics, but I did take a picture of the leftovers the next night.
Here is a little RL fun. Throwing balls into a metal bowl is always lots of fun with lots of noise. Alot of her balls have different texture and sounds so there is plenty to talk about. We also like to do a little of stirring.
......And then bowl and ball play turned it to this....
It was all fun and games until she hit a wall.........
