Spaghetti....with CHEESE!

Last night for dinner I cooked an old favorite, Spaghetti!
My son LOVES spaghetti, eating "snakes" for dinner is one of his favorite meals.

So, since we have not had it in a few weeks (because I've been cooking all these new fabulous meals) I opted for something easy.  (Ok, actually I forgot to set anything out and hamburger unthaws fast).

If you family likes Spaghetti but you need to spice it up, add CHEESE.  :)

Dinner for $1.50

Last night I made Pot Pie for dinner. 

No, it wasn't homemade.

This is another meal that in my whole 25 years I have never had.  It's not for lack of opportunity, my mom used to make this sometimes when we were kids, but I never liked it so, I never ate it. My husband on the other hand ate pot pies a lot as a kid but probably hasn't had them in 15 years.

I had a coupon for Banquet Pot Pies that gave me $0.60 off of 6 and Harter House had them on sale last week for $0.59.

I cooked up 3 of them last night (1.5 for the hubs, half for the kiddo and one for me). 


The verdict:
The Pot Pie dinner was OK. It tasted fine as far as that goes but I can't say I was stuffed afterward.  It did pass the quick and easy test though because all you do is take it from box to oven and bake.  Bake time was 35 minutes on the box, but I think we ended up cooking them for about 50 total.  And the clean up was cake, throw the cooking plate thing it comes in in the trash, wash forks and done! (To be even fast use plastic forks)

Overall not bad for 2 bucks!
