Meal #1
1.5 pounds of ham slices
2.5 pounds of sweet potatoes
green beans

I would heat the ham in a skillet. Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven and use canned green beans. Serve sweet potatoes with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Yummm! I know not much of a recipe but this would be a easy dinner and economical too!

Meal #2
Since chicken is on sale I would highly recommend you make my Chicken Tortilla Soup

Meal #3
Another option for chicken would be this recipe for Chicken and Gravy with Homemade Noodles from Cooking During Stolen Moments.

Come back next week and see what meals I can find!

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe.

So we chose to make a recipe from the Civil War time to share with her class. Can I just say how grateful I am for the internet when it comes to these school projects?
