Hey Frugal Friends. It’s August, and back-to-school is coming up! If you have littles, it’s a busy time, but even if you don’t, a quick and easy budget skillet dinner can never be wrong. Creamy Beef and Shells hits all the marks.
Creamy Beef and Shells – don’t underestimate what a little Parm and Parsley can do!
There are some meals from my childhood ( the 60s & 70s) that are nostalgic, but sadly, once made again and tasted, fell short of my expectations. My Mom’s Pork Chops and Creamy Rice was one of those. I remember it being a favorite, kind of a pork chop version of the famous No-Peek Chicken.

My Asian Beef Noodle Soup is one of my faves! It’s nothing authentic, but it’s downright craveable and jumping with flavors so complex, you’d think it took hours to make rather than minutes.

I gotta tell ya, my fave recipe of the year has got to be Instant Pot Brisket Street Tacos. That’s sayin’ a lot because the winter holidays haven’t even rolled around yet and that’s when I do most of my “special” cooking and lots of desserts. Who knows, maybe I’ll make something that will edge these tacos out, yet, but these are mouth-watering crazy good.

These days, flank steak, which back in the day used to be so inexpensive can be over the top pricey! But every once in awhile there’s a great sale. This year I picked one up during the Super Bowl Sales and I knew just what I wanted to do with that lovely! I wanted to make Stuffed Flank Steak with Wine Sauce. I thought it would be a beautiful way to showcase that steak and perfect for a special occasion, maybe Valentine’s Day?
