Our grocery budget is $110/week and with a growing toddler that may change, but this number works well for us. We have to be intentional about meal planning and shopping what we already have in the freezer and pantry before making the grocery list, but we do well with this number. It took time to develop our budget friendly go to meals and today I'm sharing one with you. Every item is purchased at Aldi and is very cost friendly. We typically have enough left over for one or two lunches, depending if we get seconds the night before.
Two yellow squash (Aldi sells these in a package of two)
2 green bell pepper (any color bell pepper is good, green seems to be cheapest)
5 or 6 sweet potato (regular potatoes are good, we like to eat it with ketchup if using regular)
Baby Bella Mushroom (I use about 5 or 6 of these)
Medium Onion
Olive oil to toss vegetables on sheet pan
Salt, Pepper, Italian seasoning and Garlic Powder (I eyeball the amounts, though I go pretty heavy handed with these)
Recipe:
Cut into bite size pieces Squash, Bell Pepper, Onion, Mushroom.
Peel and cut potato into chunks
Spray Sheet Pan and add all vegetables. Toss with olive oil and season with seasonings.
Cut Italian Sausage into bite size pieces and place on top of vegetables.
Bake at 400 for 45 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes. Let set for about 10 minutes to cool.
That's it! A very budget friendly and healthy meal. If you aren't partial to some of the vegetables used, feel free to mix it up. I've tried several variations and this just seems to work best for our family.
Enjoy!
With heart from our home,
Jordan
