One of the things that you hear all the time when it comes to stretching your grocery budget is to reduce the amount of meat you eat. I'd be fine with that, but my husband would not. While he never complains, he admits that meatless meals simply don't fill him up. An hour or so after dinner, he's pacing and staring in the cupboards. It's just his body type.
I have found, however, that I can help with this by adding more beans to our diet. I rarely ate them before we got married, but I'm always on the lookout for recipes using beans now. They're healthy and satisfying. One recipe that we both love is white chicken chili. I usually add another can of white beans, use a can of green chilis instead of the peppers, and use white peper instead of the regular pepper. It's super easy, very hearty, and fantastic for leftovers...and a crockpot recipe to boot.
Enjoy. :)
