One of the best ways to save money is by eating in. When you have mastered the art of saving money at the grocery store, you’re going to want to be in your kitchen, putting together meals that you and your family love. I am all for saving time in the kitchen, so below you will find tips, go-to recipes, and even an Ingredient-Based Recipe Index that gives you ideas for what to do with the items you have on hand. This is where the real fun begins!

Looking forward to trying your Crockpot Chipotle-Lime Chicken Thighs with Jamaican Rice and Beans this week. Have you ever made that ahead, or frozen it (without the avocado, of course)? Do you think that would work? I am all about freezing meals for my busy week!
Kelly – I got a 20 lb bag of red potatoes on sale last week for $3.99. I would like to try to freeze some of them since that is way more than the two of us can eat before they go bad.
I wanted to try your steak fries but I don’t have the freezer space to “flash freeze” on a tray before I baggie them up. Any thoughts?
Maybe lay them out between wax paper and freeze flat. That way the paper would separate family servings. Let me know how that works!
Kroger has fresh asparagus fir $1,88 per lb this week – I love fresh asparagus and would like to buy some extra for later. Any suggestions on blanching/freezing it?
