Dinner on a Dime and Short on Time


Strapped for ideas on what to make for dinner? Strapped for time too? Look no further than your grocer's freezer case. You can snag pre-cooked family pasta dinners for around $3-$6. (I know that Bird's Eye Voila dinners are good.) Now, for the fun part! These dinners serve only 2-3 people, so you can make them stretch by adding whatever veggies you have on hand. Throw in a little extra pasta and you've made dinner and used up those veggies in the fridge! Craving Chinese take-out? Grab an aisan dinner and toss in a can of water chestnuts, chopped carrot, celery, and extra rice. The meals are already seasoned, but if you want to add more, doctor it up with pesto, fresh herbs, a seasoning blend, or stir-fry sauce. So serve your "pseudo-homemade" dinner with pride. Your family and your wallet will thank you! Click on the link for a coupon: http://www.voilawednesdays.com/promotions/
