Weekly Recipe

Lunch time.  I'm always looking for new takes on the same old stuff.  Take sandwiches for example, I'm ALWAYS trying to come up with new idea's... I mean, you can only eat so many PB&J's, right?! 

I adapted this recipe from Real Simple magazine to create my own yummy lunchtime fare.  Whether you try Real Simple's recipe, mine or your own variation... I'm sure you won't be disappointed.  (my kids even loved it)

The Clipstress' restaurant inspired lunch at home:
2 slices sourdough bread (lightly toasted)
Goat Cheese (1 tbsp or more if you like)
Deli Style Mustard (to your liking, I used 1 tbsp)
fresh spinach
meat of your choice, ham would be great but I used Dry Salami

Lightly toast bread.  On one slice of bread pile on the goat cheese, on the other slice of bread add the mustard.  Layer on the meat of your choice and top with fresh spinach.  So yummy and super easy!  This would also make a great panini too. 

If you try this, please leave a comment and share your inspiration for a "restaurant inspired lunch at home". 

Harris Teeter Super Doubles Confirmed

Harris Teeter Super Double coupons have been confirmed for 11/3 through 11/9.

Unsure what Super Doubles are?  It's when HT will double coupons with a face value of $1.00 to $1.99.  So all those $1q's are now worth $2.  $1.50 q's are now worth $3.  As always, their normal coupon policy is still in effect (HT limits the amount of coupons to 20 per VIC card per DAY and always doubles coupons with a face value of $0.99 or less).  To get their full coupon policy please click here .

Target 10/24 - 10/31

Before I post some of the grocery deals I'll be getting this week, I just want to take a moment to share my super-awesome-deal of the year!  I was in need of a full size set of sheets for my 4 year old son.  I happened to stumble across a clearance rack of kids bedding - on this rack happened to be one full-size set of Disney Cars sheets.  Stoked, I grabbed it to see what the mark down price was... friends, you won't believe what I got a Disney Cars full-size sheet set for.... $1.81!  That's right!  For less than $2 I got a new sheet set for my 4 year old!  Thanks for letting me share- I knew that my readers would appreciate this!

Weekly Recipe

This family favorite was passed down from my Aunt.  It truly is a delicious dish that takes mere minutes to prepare.  If you don't want to cook in the crock pot you can simmer on the stove instead.  We serve this soup with crusty bread and a salad.  It's a delicious, easy meal that will definitely have you coming back for seconds!

Tortellini Soup

4 cans chicken broth
1 jar marinara sauce
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the green can)
½ bag fresh spinach
3-4 cloves fresh garlic (or to your liking)
fresh cracked black pepper
1 cup dry cheese tortellini

In a crock-pot combine broth, marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese, spinach, garlic and pepper. Turn crock-pot on low and simmer for approximately 3 hours (or until hot). Add the tortellini 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese & enjoy!
