Trader Joe’s Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce | Light & Delish
May 9, 2012
I had never been inside a Trader Joe’s until just a few months ago and I LOVE IT!! I find new things that excite me each time I go and am consistently amazed by how affordable is, especially for an organic food store!
This may shock some of you but, I. Hate. Mayonnaise. – Ewwww!!! I can tolerate if it is mixed in something like potato salad, tuna salad, etc…, but not on a sandwich! Actually, if a big blob of mayo squirts out, it totally grosses me out. I’m always looking for new condiments and am in LOVE with the Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce from Trader Joes. It is to-die-for!! Creamy, garlicky, a little spicy and just YUM! Not to mention it’s healthy, only $2.49/jar and 10 calories per serving…TEN!!! Even if you are a mayo fan, it’s definitely worth trying!

2 New Polly-O Ricotta Coupons + Messy Lasagna Recipe
April 18, 2012
Just found some RARE coupons for Polly-O Ricotta under zip code 11040 -> foods ~
And here’s a quick and easy “Messy Lasagna” recipe you could use both of these for:
- Cook a 16 oz package of ziti or penne noodles for a few minutes less than what the package says. You want the pasta undercooked so it’s not mushy after baking.
- Drain well and put in a large bowl.
- Add to the cooked pasta: 1 jar pasta sauce, 8 oz of ricotta cheese, 8 oz of mozzarella, 1 cup Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon salt & pepper.
- Mix well and pour into a greased oven-safe casserole (I use Pam).
- Pour some additional sauce over the top. You’ll need to open another jar but leftover sauce never goes to waste in my house. Use it for pizza sauce, meatball subs or a quickie pasta later in the week.
- Cover and bake on 350 degrees for 30 -45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- Uncover, top with additional mozzarella and bake another 10 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.
- Serve with additional parmesan cheese, hot garlic bread and a salad! I always have to have a vegetable, so I usually serve steamed broccoli or asparagus with anything Italian!
This is a super basic recipe but you could add cooked ground beef or Italian sausage, sauteed mushroom, onions…whatever!

$1/2 Keebler Crusts Coupon + Walmart Deal + Peanut Butter Pie Recipe
April 2, 2012
Are you making a delicious dessert for Easter? I’ll be making my Peanut Butter Pie so I needed two graham cracker pie crusts. Walmart seems to have the best price on these, at least in my area, and there is a $1.00/2 Keebler Crust Coupon we can use ~
- Buy 2 – Keebler Crusts 6 oz $1.78
- Use $1.00/2 Keebler Crusts Coupon
- Pay: $1.28 each
And here is my “famous” Easy Peanut Butter Pie recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 – 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 – 16 oz tub Cool Whip (or store brand)
- 2 – 9″ graham cracker crusts
Optional toppings: Crushed peanut butter cups, drizzled melted chocolate, nuts…or all of the above! My favorite is salted chopped peanuts.
Directions:
Beat together cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Mix in peanut butter and milk and beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until thoroughly combined. Spoon evenly into two 9″ graham cracker pie crusts and top with additional toppings, if desired. Cover and refridgerate overnight. If you need it to set up quicker, you can freeze it but I think it has a better texture if left in the refrigerator.
Enjoy…you’ll thank me later

BBQ Pork Paninis – No Panini Press? No Problem
March 1, 2012
This week’s budget recipe is something I came up with while trying to do something clever for my hubby with pulled pork. It kills my soul to waste food. Seriously, I’ll eat spaghetti for three days before I’ll throw it away! So…I was determined to figure out a way to use up the pork. Since I also had some french bread that needed to be used, I thought a panini would be perfect. We LOVE paninis in my house. I think you can put anything between two slices of bread, press it and it’s “too-licious” (as my nephew would say) ~
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Leftover Shredded Pork
- 1/2 Cup BBQ Sauce
- 1/4 Finely Chopped Onion
- 1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Banana Peppers
- French Bread (ciabatta would work well too)
- Provolove Cheese
- Spicy Mustard
Directions
- Mix the pork, BBQ sauce, onion and banana peppers
- Slice the bread and spread each slice with mustard.
- Top a slice of the bread with, 1/2 a slice of provolone, appx. 2 tbs of the pork mixture, another 1/2 slice of cheese and finally the second slice of bread.
- Liberally spray the outside of the sandwiches with butter spray.
- Lay sandwiches in a skillet over medium-low heat and top with a piece of foil.
- Fill a large pot about half full of water. Not too much…you want them pressed, not smashed.
- Place the pot on top of the sandwiches.
- Check the bottom after 2-3 minutes. Once they are brown, flip and top with the foil and pot again.
- When the second side is brown, serve immediately.
My husband went crazy for these! Enjoy

Budget Recipe | Tuna Noodle Casserole 39¢ A Serving
January 20, 2012
Click To Enlarge
I decided to re-post an oldie-but-a-goodie to start my “Budget Recipe” series. Hopefully you guys were able to score some free/cheap tuna with last week’s coupon ~
Tuna Noodle Casserole is my kind of comfort food and it’s also one of the things I looked forward to my Dad cooking growing up. He liked a lot of tuna and so do I. So here’s my budget friendly, lightened up version:
Ingredients:
- 1 Pound Rotini Noodles
- 1 10 ¾ Ounce Can Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Celery Soup
- 1 10 ¾ Ounce Can Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 12 Ounce Bag Green Giant Steamers Mixed Vegetables
- 3 Pouches Starkist Light Tuna
- 1 ½ Cups Skim Milk
- ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
Topping:
- 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese
- Butter Spray
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 Degrees
- Cook noodles for 7 minutes and drain. Do not overcook the noodles. They will continue to cook when the casserole bakes and you’ll wind up with mushy pasta…yuck!
- Mix the noodles with all the remaining ingredients except the topping.
- Pour into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish (I use the Kroger brand non-cooking spray).
- In a small bowl, mix the panko and Parmesan with a fork. Spray with butter spray and stir. Keep doing this until it looks like the topping is well coated with the butter spray. Sprinkle all over the top of the casserole. You could use melted light butter. I just REALLY like the super buttery flavor of butter spray.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly and well browned.
I am in love with panko bread crumbs. They are light, crispy and do not get soggy (even when reheated). The topping was very crunchy and had great flavor. Talk about a budget meal! This makes a huge pan that could easily feed a family of four for $3.10. In my family, this would be about 8 servings lol, so just $0.39 a serving. For less than the price of ONE fast food combo meal, you can make a whole meal that is satisfying, nutritious and delicious. I challenge anyone that says that all couponers eat is junk food!!
Cost:
- Noodles: Free from stockpile
- Cream of Celery Soup: $0.35 from stockpile
- Cream of Mushroom Soup:$0.35 from stockpile
- Green Giant Steamers Mixed Vegetables: $0.40 from stockpile
- 3 Pouches Starkist Tuna: $0.25 each with this deal
- 1 ½ Cups Skim Milk: $0.25
- 1 Total Cup Parmesan Cheese: $0.50
- 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs: Free with $3/1 coupon (no longer available)
- Frank’s Red Hot: Pennies with this deal
- Total Cost = $3.10
Be sure to check the Coupon Deals Page regularly so you have the products that I use in these recipes! Each week I will create a new healthy, budget recipe using the free/cheap groceries that we’ve scored!
