"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.

How momma got her (blog) groove back!

 Yeah, I've taken a long blog sabbatical. But, it is time to get back at it. Let's face it being a mom is hard work and being a first-time mom is even harder. So, if baby boy goes to bed before midnight haha I'll use my precious spare time to pour a glass sit back and whine  a bit!
