Do you have a big meal planned for your family this week? Are you in charge of feeding extended family or does your family do a potluck type meal? Do you cook all the food or just bring a dish?
Regardless of whether you need to pick up all the food or just the ingredients for one special dish, Walmart has you covered.
I recently went shopping for the ingredients for a big holiday meal -honey spiral sliced ham, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and spaghetti squash au gratin. All the ingredients to cook this meal cost me just
Here’s the breakdown:
Sam’s Choice Honey Spiral Sliced Ham $15.50
Asparagus $3.50
10 pounds of potatoes $3
Garlic (24.3 cents per ounce) $.50
Butter $2.50
Great Value Cheddar Cheese $2.32
Half Gallon Great Value Organic Milk $3.36
Spaghetti Squash ($1.18 per pound) $2.19
Chicken Stock $2
Great Value Sour Cream $2.48
Total cost for meal (plus extra ingredients for future meals): $37.35
If you are looking for an easy meat to cook your family, this ham is it! There are two to choose from – Honey Glazed or Brown Sugar Glazed Ham. The are both excellent! (I’ve tried the both! LOL). They couldn’t be simpler – they are already pre-sliced…spiral sliced. You heat the glaze in a sauce pan and then coat the ham and cook it (it is precooked, you are basically heating it) in your oven based on its weight. It is absolutely delicious and beautiful!
And, this year I’m trying a new recipe:
:: Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
1 medium spaghetti squash
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 small onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced (optional)
Cut the spaghetti squash and remove the seeds. Place in covered dish with 1/4 inch of water and microwave for 10 to 12 minutes. In a medium sized skillet on medium heat, add the butter and onion. Cook until slightly brown in color. Salt and pepper to taste
Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a small bowl. Combine the squash, onions, sour cream, and half of the cheese together and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a buttered dish and top with remaining cheese.
Place in a 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
