French Dip Sandwich
When I was in junior high, I was convinced that the absolute height of fancy living was dining on French Dip in a restaurant. Our family didn’t go out for dinner very often, but when we did venture to Mr. Steak for a special occasion meal, French Dip was nearly always my order. Tender roast beef on a toasted, buttery roll dunked in the cutest little dish of steaming au jus, along with big pile of thick cut steak fries – aw’ jeepers, the memory of that sandwich gets me all nostalgic for the early 80’s!

Mexican Meatball Soup with Rice & Cilantro
We have someone in our family who despises cilantro. I don’t want to name names or anything … but we call him DAD for short. Yep, my dad. He hates cilantro and he can spot it at twenty paces blindfolded with his nose plugged. It’s become a long-running joke in our family. And you know how dads are with their jokes … need I say more? I’ll just say it again: long running.

Bacon Wrapped Beef Tenderloin
So, I know all ten of you are hanging around just dying to know what in the heck your favorite frugal blogger is whipping up for Christmas dinner this year (you were wondering…weren’t you?). Well, all this shopping and merry-making has taken a toll on a frugal gal’s pocketbook. But I haven’t any plans to resort to peanut butter sandwiches or canned meat – although, who knows – Spam might come into play in January.

Spaghetti & Meatballs
You know Sandra Lee, right? The uber-perky blonde on the Food Network, who’s always planning a party or making dinner out of pre-packaged ingredients? I think her show is called “Semi Homemade”? Going to the outer limits with her attention to detail, Sandy features instructions for fancy ‘tablescapes’, themed flowers and party favors…even wacky window treatments to tie in with her meal d’jour. Some even require the use of a hot glue gun.

Probably The Best Cheeseburger Ever…Guilt Free!
So, I jumped on the Tall Grass bandwagon this week. I’ve been digging my heels in over Tall Grass ever since it came on the meat counter scene a few months back. It’s a little on the pricey side (actually, a lot on the pricey side), and as my husband would tell you, this blogger doesn’t need another expensive habit. Plus, if I’m staying true to the penny-pinching theme of this little blog, I can’t in good conscience prattle on about a product that isn’t exactly FRUGAL. But since the Tall Grass Ground Chuck is on sale this week for a very reasonable $3.99/pound, I decided this was the perfect time to give it a try.
