Lovin' the Give Every Night New Flavor Website

I am not much of a cook, and I don't like to take alot of time to prepare meals, so I was  excited when the #giveeverynightnewflavor website was recommended to me. Being unemployed, and needing to watch my grocery budget, I was pleased to find not only a variety of recipes, but the website was full of coupons which I could load right on my #krogers card!

The #giveeverynightnewflavor website starts out by giving you various cuisines to choose from: Asian, Italian, Tex Mex or American. After that you can choose how much time you need to prepare your meal. This is perfect for busy famiies. Then you can choose how many servings that you need.  Again there is just my husband and I, but I am watching my weight and he is a diabetic, so if there is too much food-we EAT too  much food, so that was a great option! I also like the fact that it lists nutritonal value for each recipe.




My granddaughter was visiting, so I included her in choosing the recipe, the shopping trip, preparation and of course the enjoying!


We decided to prepare Tex Mex Bagel Bake! We both agreed it sounded so good, I promply posted it on my Facebook page to share with my friends!


The website offers the option to print off a prepared shopping list and coupons!

We headed out to Kroger to buy our ingredients.


Home and ready to get started!
