FYI: If you take a peak at last weeks menu, you’ll see that we had “Clams” tentatively listed. I love digging clams, it’s a lot of fun- if you don’t mind getting dirty and can get past the smell of low tide! We ended up with a very large bucket of clams, which we rinsed thoroughly and then fed them cornmeal for several days. The cornmeal cleans them out and creates a soft breaded belly. All you have to do is change the water daily. It takes about 36 hours to thoroughly clean your clams. If you ever have the chance to go, I highly recommend it!
Part of living within a budget is using the fresh foods you have available around you. If you’re a hunter or have a hunter in the family this can include Fresh Venison, Pork (if you have wild hogs in the area!), fish or seafood.
The easiest way to plan your menu is take a look at what you have on hand and then view the weeks sales flyers for your favorite stores. If you didn’t know, we’ve compiled a list of All the store flyers for every store we can think of. If your store isn’t listed, comment at the bottom of the page and we’ll add it for you.
