September Meals

We are on to another month.  The freezer meals from last month turned out awesome.  It was incredibly convenient and I spent about 5 minutes preparing the meal instead of 30.  I will take any time saving ideas. 
I had some questions from some people about the recipes..
1.  We have pizza once a week.  Almost always on Friday.  Where we get the pizza depends on week to week.  If I have good coupons for pizza and it is on sale, the pizza comes from the store frozen.  If we are out and about, we pick up if we are on our way home or eat somewhere like Old Towne Pizza in downtown Dawsonville. 
2.  Almost every meal, we have fresh veggies.  (Cucumbers, carrots, celery, broccoli, etc)  If the recipe is for example Beef Stew, than we don't have veggies.  If the meal has pasta in it, we won't have bread...except when we have Spaghetti or Lasagna, I add garlic bread.  I buy frozen bread loafs or crescent rolls, once again depending on what kind of coupons I have.  If you don't know yet, I do not buy anything with out a coupon and/or it being on sale.  Other than that, sometimes I add rice or fresh fruit and a scoop of ice cream for desert or a homemade cookie.  I love making different deserts and that happens randomly. 
3.  I rarely do boxed meals, ie mac and cheese.  Maybe on weekends for a side.  I would grill chicken and then add mac and cheese for a side.  Mostly I use homemade.  May be a pain sometimes, but much cheaper and healthier in the long run.
4.  We eat lot of chicken.  Why?  One word, CHEAP!  I get it where I can find it the cheapest.  I don't do organic unless and I can get some tremendous deal.  I survived..and so will my children. 
5.  I get nearly all of my recipes from 1 of 3 places...1.  allrecipes.com     2.  pinterest   or 3.  My mom.

Hope that answers your questions.
