Easy Week Night Dinner


I have thought about this a lot over the last many months.  I constantly hear that it is impossible to feed your family inexpensively and healthy.  I just don't agree.  The meals I make aren't fancy or complicated, but they are filling and healthy.  I generally don't eat meat, but if you do, it is easy to add small amounts to most of things I make.  I would love your comments and ideas.

Yummy Pineapple Rice with a side of leftover broccoli.  Very easy, low fat, and healthy.

2 cups of cooked brown rice
1/2 cup of pineapple tidbits
4 T of pineapple juice (saved from the can of tidbits)
a few T of soy sauce
green onion

Mix everything together.  Season with extra soy sauce.  I added a few drops of hot sauce to mine.  This makes 4 servings.  I made this for myself and ate the leftovers for lunch the next few days.  This is very inexpensive...maybe 25 cents a serving.  It would be good with a little shredded carrot added.  The broccoli was leftover from Sunday night.  Add another 25 cents for the broccoli.  You can have some of the leftover pineapple for an additional side, or save it for another day and have it as a side with the meal that day.  A very inexpensive, delicious, easy meal.
