Trader Joe&#8217;s has this awesome peanut butter with 3 ingredients. Well, today I was getting a couple items at Target and saw that Archer Farms has the same one!!!! Amazingness. It was with flax seed and only 3 ingredients as well. Oh how I love Target&#8230;.anyways, we were almost out of the PB from TJ so I picked it up. I have not tasted it yet so hopefully it scores well and I can buy that from now on. <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-PEW4cLcZ7JU\/TlQOtJr02pI\/AAAAAAAAAco\/Ji2PrfsIYIw\/s1600\/trader_joes_valencia_peanut_butter_with_roasted_flaxseeds.jpg\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 165px;\" src=\"http:\/\/fitsteph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/trader_joes_valencia_peanut_butter_with_roasted_flaxseeds.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644152401858714258\" \/><\/a>On to more food&#8230;.well, lack thereof. I have like no money for groceries left so I am going to have to do some improvising. How do you make meals with little food and a tight budget?! Well, worry no more. I have\/had some ideas and it&#8217;s going to be all good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>So here&#8217;s the situation. I have a big bag of chicken I cooked already and froze. I have a good amount of sliced ham too from Rise &#8216;n Roll Bakery (only $1 a pound!). Then Kyle&#8217;s mom left us with a ton, a ton of sloppy joe Elk meat from the weekend (garage sale). Do I really want sloppy joe&#8217;s every day for the next week? Nope, I sure don&#8217;t. So I decided to make empanadas with sloppy joe and ham. Yes I did. I just made the dough then put some cheese with choice of meat on the inside and folded it up. Fantastic! Then I froze the rest of the meat to use later (I love the freezer).<\/div>\n<div>I plan to make homemade pizza, my own flatbread (sandwiches\/wraps), and I have a new bag of organic potatoes I can use as starches for the week. I do have some lettuce, bananas, peppers, frozen veggies, and carrots. Fruit is not so much right now \ud83d\ude41 <\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Here&#8217;s the empanadas I made&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fitsteph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/photo.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644154321041199842\" style=\"display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; \" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Even though I don&#8217;t really have any room to buy groceries, it&#8217;s amazing what you can find in your cupboards to make that you normally buy!!
