Ingredients:
- Macaroni noodles (or any type of shell like noodles)

Steps:

- In a casserole dish put cooked noodles and whatever kind of sauce you have on hand in dish and stir it up.
- Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese and stir.
- Spread out noodles flat and sprinkle more mozzarella cheese on top making a nice cheesey layer.
- Bake at 350 for about 5 to 10 minutes until cheese looks melted.
Thursday
ETA:
Chicken Roll ups. The ones I just suggested over the weekend.
2 (8 ounce) cans Reduced Fat Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can 98% fat free cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese or swiss cheese (or any cheese of choice)
1/2 cup milk
Filling
4 ounces cream cheese (very soft) * I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese*
2 tablespoons butter (very soft but not melted)
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tsp minced onion flakes
2 large cooked chicken breasts, finely chopped (or use about 2 cups, can use cooked turkey)
1/2-3/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
2 Tbsp. milk
1-2 cup grated cheddar cheese (for topping)
Set oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray. Mix together milk, 3/4 cup cheese and undiluted chicken soup (can season with black pepper if desired).
For the filling --- (make certain that the cream cheese and butter are very soft) in a bowl, mix the soft cream cheese with butter until very smooth, then add in garlic powder. Add in the chopped chicken, onion and cheddar cheese; mix well until combined. Add in 2 tablespoons milk; mix to combine (add in a little more if the mixture seems too dry). Season with seasoned salt or white and black pepper to taste. Unroll the crescent rolls. Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture (or a little more) on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end. Drizzle a small amount of soup mixture on the bottom of the dish. Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole.
Drizzle the remaining sauce on top (you don't have to use the full amount of cream sauce, just use as much as desired) and sprinkle with 1 cup (or more) grated cheese, or amount desired. Bake for about 30 minutes.
Friday
Movie and a Pizza night. We do this every Friday. We order from Pizza Hut with Any way you want $10 pizza. With the three of us we only need one pizza!
Saturday
Pigs in a blanket. Yes again. My kids love them (and I secertly do too)and they are super easy to make.
Sunday
Birds Eye Voila Garlic Chicken. I only buy these when they are BOGO free. They might not be the healthiest (being premade food), but it's another my kids will eat. Minus pickey eater. I have to pick out noodles and carrots (the only veggie she will eat) for her.
So there you have it a weeks worth of groceries. I spent $92 for the whole week. I bought other items as well. Such as breakfasts, Bread, garbage bags, zip lock bags, and so on. So not too bad for $92. It still hurts to see that much at check out though!
Hope this helped some one. I know it would help me if I found some one doing this so, there you go :)
