I never know how to break my meals down, as I'm not very good with math. But I know that saving money is very important for our family, and I try to make things like you've got here to save money.

And I have to ask, your Tuesday menu is adorable, but, what is swamp...muck? I'm hoping it's cream of wheat or something? LOL I was trying to guess! And Muddy water? Is that um, Chocolate milk?
