My Cooking Challenge - Begin 8/17/09

Okay, maybe this will help me out with this goal. We're trying to get closer to living on a budget and cut down on eating out. We eat at a fellowship dinner every Wednesday at our church, but that leaves the rest of the week up to me. I am challenging myself to cook at least 5 nights a week starting Monday (8/17/09). I will post the meal that I will be serving every afternoon.

I am with you! I started the same thing this week and so far it has gone well. The bad part is I hate to cook. Or at least I thought I did...but so far so good this week. I will have to try some of your meals you post and if I have any good ones I will post them also.
Good luck to you!

I love to cook, but struggle to figure out what to make. Good luck with your challenge and I look forward to seeing what you make.

Good for all of you. I haven't had a meal out in over a year. We cook in this house daily and eat a wide variety of good resonably cheap meals. Can't wait to see what you all come up with.

I really like this idea so here is what I cooked tonight....It turned out really yummy!

Chicken Roll Ups

2-3 chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1 can crescent rolls

Boil or steam chicken and shred. Roll crescent rolls as thin as possible. Put chicken in crescent rolls and roll up. Mix together 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Pour small amount of mixture in baking dish. Place chicken roll ups in dish. Pour remaining mixture over roll ups. Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.

This was so easy too! I used cheddar cheese and low sodium cream of chicken soup and it was great. The recipe called for 4 chicken breasts but that was way too much. I didnt even use a full 2 breasts. Here are some pics. I always have to have pics..

Congratulations on your personal cooking challenge! I hope that you succeed in doing this! I cook every day, for the most part because my hubby and I have seven children. However, my personal challenge is staying on top of the laundry!!!

I'll be checking in to see what yummy meals you make! Good luck!
