Here's the place to share your meal ideas for the evening or the week, post where you bought the ingredients frugally and even share a recipe if you would like.

Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

On Saturday, I made brownies and a homemade cream cheese frosting. If you have never made cream cheese frosting, it is so easy! You can see the recipe that I use from AllRecipes.com HERE.

The recipe calls for 4 cups of confectioner's sugar but I only use 3 cups and it is plenty sweet for us. Other people commented that they use 2 to 2.5 cups and it is sweet enough for them.

Incredibly Important Food Question of the Day: Do you love the middle or the corner/edge of the brownies?
I asked this question on the Smart Shopper Facebook Page on Sunday and the results have been surprising.

So far, the corner/edge people are winning with 14 votes, but the middle brownie people are gaining on them with 11 votes.

Personally, I'm a middle girl all the way! The more ooey and gooey they are, the better.

Weekly Meal Plan

Baked chicken, roasted red potatoes and salad (I got the bag of red potatoes at HT last night in the markdown bin for only $1.00!)

Stuffed peppers, sauteed zucchini and onions, crescent rolls

Cajun shrimp, rice, salad

Breakfast for dinner: veggie & cheese omelets, turkey bacon, and maybe even some pancakes if I'm feeling ambitious (if not, it's wheat toast instead). The eggs were .99 for an 18 count from Harris Teeter with my e-Vic deals.

Salmon burgers on wheat, sweet potatoes, steamed carrots (I planned to have these last week but it didn't happen so they are back on the menu this week).
