"Help me I'm poor", A poor man's dinner post

HA! Bridesmaids, 
such a funny quote from that movie.
But it got me thinking about what could I make for dinner for very little $.
So I ransacked my pantry and freezer and here is a list of my dinner menu and prices.
Vegetable Eggrolls from Walmart $2.50
Frozen Steamable Edamame from Target $1.66 on sale
Knorr Sides-Thai Rice from Harp's $1, but I had a .50 coupon that they doubled, so it was free!!!

 The grand total is $4.16, not too bad since this meal will probably make 3 servings. One dinner for two and leftovers for one! Which is only a $1.39 per serving. Hmmm that's cheap enough you could throw in a decent bottle of wine and still spend less than $20.

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.
