Here we are loading them up on nonperishable foods that are loaded with salt and preservatives and virtually no nutritional value, right? So I decided to try to find alternative recipes for these items... so far, I've gotten quite a bunch
Country Chicken Chowder (Chicken Noodle Soup)
Cinnamon Snack Mix (Ramen Noodles)
Tuna Pot Pie (Tuna)
Pizza Casserole (Ravioli)
...just to name a few!! BUT I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. I know that I haven't been keeping up with this blog and a bunch of my followers are gone, but if you could do me a favor and spread the word, that would be great! I am looking for quick, easy, family friendly, CHEAP meals you can use nonperishable foods to make.
Some other items that are in excess are pastas, tomato products, canned veggies, gravies, cake mixes... MAC n CHEESE... got it? So any recipes that you can offer would be great.
To make it worth your time and trouble, I will be doing a give away!! I have some small Pampered Chef items that I can throw together as incentive for a random drawing. Please send the recipes by November 14th so I have time to get them together for a booklet I want to put together for the families.
Thank you sooo much for your help!! Happy Holidays!
So far I've had only 2 people email me and one post on here... that makes the chances pretty good in the random selection!!! Last day to add recipes...
So the winner is... MaryAnn Gomes! BUT - since there were only 3 people who participated, I will be sending out a special PC treat to each of them!! Yay... holiday cheer to everyone :o)

And what about rinsing the ravioli off and putting on another sauce, I know it sounds odd, but when you've had it up to your ears with ravioli, a different sauce can keep you from killing yourself.

Hope this helps!
wow!! awesome! Thanks :o)
I know I'm late to the posts... but my mom always made this and I make it for the kids because its comfort food to me (I didn't know then that it was because grocery money was thin)
Anyway my mom would layer in a casserole dish from the bottom up: One pound ground beef cooked, one can corn, one package instant mashed potatoes cooked, one can spaghettios, cheese.
Bake until the cheese melts.
