Poor man's chicken parmigiana = happy kids
Any of you who are real cooks should be cringing right about now...
Buitoni noodles, free after coupon and Catalina.
Tyson chicken nuggets, free after Catalina.
Bertolli organic pasta sauce, free after Catalina (last summer).
Mozzarella cheese, cheap at Dominick's one day.
All adds up to some almost-free "chicken parmigiana." I should be ashamed. 🙂 The kids, however, were quite pleased!
(You weren't kidding!) Oh Rachel, I am laughing my butt off right now. Awesome!!!!!!
I never kid! Mr. dh-on-Atkins is eying the rest longingly -- ha on him. 🙂
OK, I can see why this made the kids happy, but your husband? LOL
The scary thing is I just made this dinner with Tyson chicken patties. lol
So he's not a gourmet! And he's not going to eat it because he's doing the low-carb thing, but he really WANTS to. Why do I bother actually cooking? 🙂
Love it. We just had tyson chicken patties. Reminded me of when chicken patties first came out and they were full of really odd parts and pieces. Ahh- bad memories of the 1st generation chicken patties. They have improved over time. Not so much mystery meat.
Well, I am not ashamed to admit that I--a 32 yo mother of 2--have made this meal (using dino nuggets my children didn't finish, but subing free Ronzoni for the fettuccine) for myself several times. It really isn't bad!
I think you were resourceful!
Some nights you gotta do what ya gotta do to get dinner on the table!
It looks really good. You can come over and cook at my house anytime! Lol
I love it. My kids would prefer that to the turkey soup they had tonight.
You make me so proud!
(but why did you give away the secret recipe)
🙂

Hey you don't have to gourmet cook EVERY NIHGT!!! Just ask Chef Boyardee! 😀
THAT made my day !
Hey, it's got grease, sugar, and salt--three of the four basic childhood nutrients (the other being carbonation.) Looks like a balanced meal to me!
Folks -- shhh! my parents are reading! 😛
