Still trying new recipes and I actually created one on Saturday night. I had been to Harris Teeter for triple coupon day. I saved $60 with my triple coupons.

One of the items I bought with my triple coupons was a new item by Mrs. Dash called Mrs. Dash Terriyaki Marinade. The marinade cost $2.79 and I had a  $0.75 coupon. So after the coupon was tripled I paid $0.59 for the marinade. There is no sodium in the marinade a big switch from most high salt terriyaki sauces.

I made a Terriyaki stir fry with some ingredients I had at the house.

• 1.5 lbs of Flank steak
• 1 red and  2 yellow bell peppers chopped
• 1 pkg of frozen snow pea pods
• 1 15 oz.can of pineapple chunks
• 1 bottle of Mrs. Dash terriyaki marinade

First I put the chopped bell peppers and cut up flank steak in a large skillet. When the steak started to brown I added the pineapple drained no juice. Then when the steak was almost brown I added the marinade and cooked for 2 minutes. Then I added the snow pea pods cooking for 2 more minutes.

I served this over cooked white rice. I used 2 cups of uncooked rice and started it before the stir fry. This whole meal including prep time took me about 30 minutes.

Bryan and Noah are still in the Washington, D.C. area, so it is hard for me to get motivated to cook anything. I ordered my groceries online Monday night and picked them up yesterday while Adam was at football practice. Of course I made sure there were some freezer meals in my order.

Our dinners this week have definitely not been our normal fare. They would definitely not pass the test for a Daniel Fast.  Elevation Church where Steven Furtick is the pastor, just finished a Daniel Fast  and Lifepoint Church where Jeff Kapusta is the pastor, are doing one right now. Maybe we should go on a Daniel Fast as a family when Bryan and Noah get back?

Here is our menu for tonight:
