May 1- 17, 2023 Groceries and Meals We Ate (Big Family Food!)

Here’s a look at our groceries and meals from the first part of May 2023 for our big family!

Everything feels a little bit EXTRA right now. We just finalized the adoption of our four girls. Elias and our daughter-in-law, Kelsey, just graduated from college. Malachi graduated from high school. And oh yeah, we’re moving.

I adore this recent photo of Malachi with our youngest babe. It is so significant that Malachi used to be the youngest and as of his graduation last weekend, we would have been empty nesters. But here he is now, the oldest of 8 at home (9 if you count our former foster son who is still very much a part of our lives). Malachi’s life has changed significantly during the past five years. We’re incredibly proud of how he has let God grow him through this.

Food has been abundant around here because we’ve hosted a lot of parties as we’ve celebrated such wonders! But then on non-party days, I’ve resorted to a lot of scrambled eggs in an effort to survive and put food into our bellies, ha. I’ll share more about our meals below, but first, let’s take a look at…

Groceries We Bought

Early in the month, I made a quick run to Walmart to get formula for Baby#11 and a few other WIC items for the little girls. The produce they allow is so very wonderful! While there, I checked for meat markdowns and found two packages of brats for just $1.92 each. How great it will be to feed our whole family meat for less than $4!

In preparation for our Adoption Party, I went to a local store to get hamburger meat that they had advertised to be on sale. BUT, I came home with much better deals!!! They didn’t have any of the advertised meat in the cooler, so I asked the manager if they had more in the back. He replied with, “I do have more, but if you want an even better deal I have a bunch of meat back there that we froze before it expired. I’ll give it all to you for half price.” YES PLEASE.

I ended up with 69 pounds of ground beef and four big packages of boneless chicken for $181!!

Now, I have to say that I wasn’t really planning to stock my freezer before our big move to Lincoln next month. But the prices were too good to pass up!

Costco and Sam’s

Two days before adoption and graduation, I took a day and went to Sam’s and Costco to get ready for two huge parties. For Malachi’s graduation, I splurged on several cases of a variety of individual drinks to serve. We packed them in ice and guests could choose what they wanted. It was a huge hit!

I picked up some of our normal groceries for our family’s needs, plus some convenience items to help us as we pack and get our house on the market. I got triple the produce I usually buy at one time as our menu for Malachi’s party included lots of fruit and veggie trays.

Not only was the back of our van packed on my way home, but the side was full too!

Now let’s look at what we did with all these groceries!

Meals We Ate

The last weekend in April we celebrated Elias and Justus’ wife, Kelsey’s college graduation. We came home and served a Sub Sandwich Station to 15 of us, but of course, I was too distracted with feeding everyone to take a picture!

That night, we hosted a huge reception that filled our living room, kitchen, and front yard.

I didn’t get many pictures, but here’s our “toppings table” as we had another table with a huge roaster full of baked potatoes plus a big bowl of tortilla chips. People could then fill a bowl with baked potato toppings or nacho toppings – however they wanted to enjoy their meal! We also had a lovely dessert made by Kelsey’s mom. :)

The day after graduation I used many of the leftover sub rolls to make 19 Breakfast Sandwiches for the freezer (and for breakfast that morning).

For lunch that day, I fried leftover baked potatoes with leftover nacho/taco meat and served it with steamed green beans.

The next day, Malachi had a soccer game an hour away. We knew it could be his very last high school game, so instead of lugging all the kids there and chasing them instead of watching, Matt and I invited three babysitters to come to our house and help us. We left all seven littles behind – what a gift to know they were well cared for – while Matt and I actually had time to visit on the road and then enjoy watching Malachi’s game! I made six pizzas before we left (some of them with more of the leftover taco meat from the graduation party). We took some to eat on the way to the game and left the rest for our kids and their sitters. :)

One morning I got a huge batch of Vanilla Extract started so we’d have some ready in time for the holidays.

I grilled Chicken Legs for dinner one night (there were a couple of extras joining us), following this Dump Sauce on Chicken method. <— This is such a great idea! Except for when you get the bright idea to finish off random sauce bottles from the door of your fridge and ONE OF THEM IS MANGO HABANERO. Meh, I figured the ranch dressing I added to the bag would cool the spice. I was wrong. Our chicken was super spicy and not kid friendly. We ate it all anyway, though, ha!

We ate our spicy chicken with fried potatoes (this finished off our graduation party potatoes), fresh pineapple, and roasted broccoli and carrots. Brayden’s head is featured in this photo – isn’t he cute?

The first Saturday of the month, we took all the kids to a park in town that was hosting a special free “play in the sand” event. Matt and I decided at the last minute to take a picnic lunch so that we could stay longer on the playground so I threw together everything I could grab quickly and we loaded everyone up.

The kids played hard and were super hungry. So they devoured turkey lunch meat, cheese sticks, bran muffins, peanuts, applesauce, veggie straws, and clementines. I was so thankful I had enough to-go foods on hand to throw a lunch together like that!

Before my big meat markdown purchase, I was in a “clean out the freezer” mode. There were a few homemade frozen Meatballs, so I thawed and baked them one night and made spaghetti to go with them. I grabbed out some leftover fresh pineapple and fresh spinach to serve with it.

I had some Hawaiian rolls left over from Easter that I’d frozen, plus I found some small steak burgers in the back of the freezer that I’d gotten marked down a couple of months ago at Sam’s. We smoked them one night and had Mini-Burgers on rolls with cheese, pickled green beans, and baked beans.

I had a package of bacon in the freezer, so I cut it into bacon bits. Then I made scrambled bacon cheesy eggs and smoothies.

One morning, I took the girls’ snack outside to their little table. Here’s Acacia and Josie enjoying blueberries and peanuts. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to finally be able to share their beautiful faces with you!

The day I went to Costco and Sam’s I also brought back a Rotisserie Chicken for our dinner. Matt pulled all the meat off the bone for us to eat while the rest of us unloaded all the groceries. I put fresh berries I had bought that day on the picnic table to go with the chicken and that was our simple but perfect meal for that night! To think, our entire family ate that meal for less than $10 and I didn’t have to cook! Using those $5 rotisserie chickens as fast food is fantastic!

May 12, this happened! You can read more about our four girls here. :) :)

After court, we headed to a park for a big party. Around 100 people were there to celebrate with us. It was incredible!

That week, I had pre-made 40 hamburgers so on the morning of adoption, I warmed them up along with 80 hotdogs and put them into a roaster to stay warm. A friend of mine picked it up for us on her way to the park and by the time we got there, everyone had set up a lovely spread of food!

With the burgers and dogs, we served veggies, grapes, watermelon, potato salad, chips, drinks, and desserts.

But the most important part of the day was the people who have been such a beautiful part of this journey with us!

We went home and rested for a while during the girls’ naptime. That night for dinner Matt scrambled eggs and I used leftover buns to make scrambled egg sandwiches. We set out the leftover grapes, some strawberries, and Matt made hashbrowns and sausage. All of our big kids were there, plus Matt’s dad from California. Everyone was fine with a simple, thrown-together meal. :)

The next day was Malachi’s graduation. This post explains how we have a homeschool graduation at our house. This was our fourth time to do this and we have come to love this tradition in which we gather ’round in our living room and each speak a blessing over our graduate. Justus had to miss this so here is a picture of the rest of us (during the girls’ naptime) while Malachi was FaceTiming Justus so that he could still be a part of the day.

For lunch that day, Malachi chose Lasagna, salad, corn, and fruit, plus cookies baked specially by a dear friend of ours. I had made the lasagna two weeks prior and put it into the freezer to make it easier to serve a big lunch during such a hectic weekend.

That evening we threw a huge graduation party along with some friends. Over 300 people came, shocking us all. It was incredible!!! What a gift to see so many people come in support of our children!

We served Chicken Strips with a variety of sauces, chips, veggies, fruit, and a variety of drinks. Elias was the rock star who kept baking the chicken and dumping it into the warm roaster to serve. Most of the food was gone by the end of the night. It was amazing!

The next day was Mother’s Day and I was pretty tired. :) I set out easy breakfast food for everyone, we had leftover lasagna for lunch, then Matt made dinner (which I forgot to get a picture of!). Best of all: that afternoon I took a nap! :)

I was able to capture this sweet moment between Grandpa Coppinger and Acacia during one of our meals during his visit. What a gift it is that he came to celebrate adoption and graduation days with us!

On to something new!

These “groceries I bought and food we ate” posts are super popular and fun to share! So instead of working on it all month long and posting one huge post, I’m going to try posting each week to share what our food looked like the week before. Sound good? We’ll see how it goes! Watch for our first Weekly Food Update coming up in a week or so. :)

January 2023 Groceries and Meals We Ate

February 19, 2023 by Laura 4 Comments

Here’s a look at our groceries and meals we ate in January!

The first part of January is a bit of a blur and I didn’t cook much because our church family brought meals to us for over a week. Why? Because this happened:

We were blessed to welcome home a baby sibling to some of our current foster/adopted kids. This little guy is so sweet and gets at least 4,000 kisses every day.

January 2023 Groceries and Meals We Ate

With a newborn in the house, it didn’t work for me to make my normal monthly trip to Lincoln for a big grocery haul from Costco and Sam’s. So instead, I opted for two big pick-ups from Walmart. The first one was the largest I’ve ever ordered!

This order cost $750.
I got chicken, hamburger meat, ham, lunch meat, frozen hashbrowns, $150+ worth of fresh and frozen fruits and veggies, shredded cheese, cheese slices, sausage patties, salad kits for Elias and Malachi, cream, butter, sour cream, bread, buns, bagels, and chips.

I also splurged on some convenience items since Matt and I aren’t getting quite enough sleep at night right now. This has been well worth it so that when our hands are full we can have Malachi bake some pizzas or throw nuggets into the air fryer.

When I got home from the store that day, none of our big kids were available and Daddy was holding Baby, but all six of our other littles pitched in to bring in groceries and put food away. It was so cool to see them all so eager to help! Even our 1-year-old got in on the action. (I couldn’t get a good picture of all of them helping because they were all moving around and trying not to trip over bags!)

It took over an hour to put all the food away, but we sure were stocked up again!

Instead of putting away all the meat I had bought, I decided to make a few meals to try and get ahead for the next couple of weeks.

I put an entire package of chicken thighs into a big casserole dish and made Pizza Chicken (forgetting the cheese before placing the pepperoni, oops!). I put this into the fridge to bake that week. That made dinner so easy that night!

My 7-year-old helped me crack about 2 dozen eggs into baking dishes. I whipped them, then baked them in the oven for half an hour. I put cheese on top right away, which melted. Then I built 23 egg, cheese, and sausage breakfast sandwiches for our freezer. This has been awesome for early before-school breakfasts for five of our kids!

Meanwhile, instead of freezing the 5-pounds of ground beef I had brought home, I cooked it in a big pot. I packaged it up in separate containers, one for tacos later in the week, one for whatever I needed in the future (which I froze), then I added chili ingredients to the rest of the meat in the pot. We ate the Chili with grapes and strawberries for lunch after church the next day. SO EASY and nice to come home to a hot meal ready to eat.

A few nights later we baked our Pizza Chicken, which I served with broccoli, corn, strawberries, and oranges. While waiting for their plates to be fixed, six of our littles stood at the counter and finished off an entire 5-pound bag of oranges! I couldn’t keep up with slicing them! :)

One morning for breakfast, I toasted some bagels and served them with Warm Chocolate Soother. I forgot to take a picture until the kids had almost finished eating everything.

I spent a few minutes one morning slicing 3 pounds of cheese for easy snacks.

A super easy meal one night was BBQ Chicken Legs, baked potatoes, and peas. This tasted soooooo good!

All month long our family passed around a lovely variety of illnesses. One night when Malachi finally had an appetite again, I made him a plate with warmed pumpkin muffins with melted butter, a sliced apple, and a peach cup. Best thing he ever tasted, so he said. :)

I invested in a handy gadget to make our own healthier and much less-expensive Uncrustables. My daughter-in-law, Eva, spent some time helping me make a bunch for the freezer so I can pull them out for kids’ lunchboxes.

She threw all the scraps into a pyrex dish and I used them to make Easy Bread Pudding. This was so great because nothing went to waste and then I had breakfast ready to bake the next morning!


Mid-month, our kids had two snow days home from school. We took advantage by making some extra fun foods. I had some pre-made pizza crusts in the freezer, so one day I let all the kids make their own mini-pizzas.

The next day we made these Snowflake Quesadillas.

When the four littlest were napping, I trudged outside and got a big bowl full of clean snow. We made Snow Ice Cream, which was sooooo much fun because Grandma was there to join us for a few days! The littles had never tried Snow Ice Cream, and they loved it. I made a bowl for Elias and Malachi also, which was extra fun because it reminded them of their childhood days. :)

Matt and I were blessed to have a night away at a church retreat (we took Baby with us) while Grandma and big brothers/sisters-in-law and a few others came to help hold down the fort. It took a lot of effort to prepare for our get-away so I was thankful for the bag of Chili in the freezer which I thawed and warmed for a meal the night before we left.


I also put in a second Walmart pickup order for the month so everyone would have easy food to eat while we were gone.

The retreat was wonderful and everyone back home had a great time with their caretakers. We brought home a huge bag of miniature candy bars (leftover from the snack table at the retreat), so I used them up one Sunday when we served a meal to young adults at church. Candy Bar Cheesecake anyone?

Prepping for the meal was made easier because one of our daughters-in-law has been coming once a week to help me. She helped me prep three huge cheesecakes on the Friday before the Sunday meal. So thankful!

Sunday meal and fellowship, a fantastic time!

I’ve been using my crock pot more since Baby came, and Spicy Ham and Potato Soup is one of my favorite easy meals to make in the morning. It cooks itself all day and is ready to eat at night.

I had picked up a 7.5-pound pork roast that had been marked down to $1.69/pound. So I put it in the crock pot to cook one day and then shredded it to pull out and use for these meals. Have you tried this yet: Make 5 Meals with 1 Pork Roast?? I love this inexpensive meal deal!

I had also found a great mark down on ground beef so I cooked it all and made a big batch of Sloppy Joes.

Maybe I’ll never pay full price for meat again?? It’s pretty great to find these deals!

Another markdown I found was these 1/2 pound burger patties. Even with the markdown, it still felt like a splurge to buy these. So I used them to make Hamburger Steak one night with mashed potatoes and veggies. It was a higher maintenance meal (with toddlers tugging on my legs) so by the time I had the meal completed, I didn’t remember to take pictures and I was reminded why I stick to Simple Meals right now. :) :) :)

On the last Saturday of the month, I made a huge pile of pancakes and scrambled a dozen and a half eggs. I don’t make pancakes much anymore so the kids (and the hubby) were thrilled!

The Uncrustables Eva had earlier in the month made were such a hit (and so nice to have in the freezer!) that I made twenty more at the end of the month.

Therefore I had a lot of crusts again and made another Easy Bread Pudding to bake on a Sunday morning for everyone to eat before church.

It was a great month with great eats!

How We Avoid Eating Out (And What We Eat Instead)

June 8, 2022 by Laura 4 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

We try to avoid eating out if at all possible. I’ll share why we do it and how we do it!

First, why do we try to avoid eating out?

  1. The cost. For our large family, eating out, even at a fast-food restaurant, can cost $60+. It just doesn’t feel worth it to drop that much money for one meal.
  2. The mess. Maybe it sounds silly, but with six littles, all the wrappers, dips and drippy burgers are a huge hassle. Also, can you imagine what it would look like if we took alllll of our babies to a restaurant? I’m not sure there are enough high chairs in any facility to accommodate us, ha.
  3. The gut. We know occasional eating out won’t hurt us since we try to eat well at home. But eating out frequently makes our bellies bloat. :)
  4. The treat. We like to keep restaurant food as a special treat for our family. So when we do go out or grab fast food on a road trip, it’s super fun for all of us!

When do we eat out?

Here are some examples of times we enjoy restaurant food:

  1. Matt and I occasionally go out for a meal and have adult conversation. Yes, we often talk about the kids when we’re out. There are ten of them; how can we not?
  2. Our teen/adult kids grab food with their friends, of course. Malachi has the McDonald’s app so he finds reasons all the time to “get a good deal on McD’s.” It’s his hard earned money, so… ;)
  3. When we are on a road trip, I usually pack food for our first meal or two (see details below). But after that runs out, we do something like grab a bunch of nuggets and fries for everyone to share in the van or at a park.
  4. Matt’s folks give us a sweet gift at Christmastime to use for a meal out with our family. We save this to use when all of our kids are together, and it is such a fun treat!
  5. Sometimes we order pizza if we find good deals. We do this sometimes when all of us are together so we can enjoy our family time. Or we might do it sometime if Matt is out of town and we want a special pizza/movie night to help us miss Daddy a little less.
  6. We have a traditional “Back to School” meal at our local Runza. We’ve been doing this since our big boys were little – back when they earned free kids meals from the library during the summer reading program! While there are no more free kids meals, we have had fun treating our family to a Runza meal right before we all settle into a new school year. (This year we just did a big to-go order because again, can you imagine taking this crew into find seating? And ketchup? Oy.)

What We Eat Instead

Just because we almost never eat out doesn’t mean we don’t have fun treats at home. Also, as much as I love cooking, I need breaks too! Here are some our tricks. Maybe you can steal some of these ideas for your family!

  1. We kind of like that we can get a couple of cartons of ice cream at the store for $3 each – spending $6 total for our entire family to have ice cream – instead of spending $40 for everyone to get a cup or cone.
  2. When I grocery shop, I intentionally buy convenience foods that I can make on days I don’t have time to cook. I’ll share some ideas below!
  3. We pack food to take to ball games and on road trips. This saves money, but honestly, I most appreciate that it helps us avoid messes and hassles. I have all of our food in a big cooler bag, we spread out on a blanket, and we eat. Yes, I have to do prep-work at home before we leave. But I find that this is SO MUCH EASIER than messing with a drive-thru or trekking back and forth to a concession stand with so many little ones. Here are some great ideas of different foods I’ve packed for us to eat at games and on the road.

Convenience Foods I Buy to Feed Our Family Instead of Eating Out

While shopping, I sometimes hesitate about a boxed/prepared item because it costs more than homemade food. But then I consider the comparison to how much it costs for our family to eat out.

For instance, spending $15 for a package of really tasty frozen tostadas at Costco feels like a big splurge to me. But then I remember that I’ll have them in the freezer to use on an extra busy night. So the $15 convenience food suddenly turns into a money-saver compared to the $40 I’d pay for ordering pizza.

With that in mind, now when I’m at Costco or Sam’s I pick up four or five ready-to-warm up items to keep in our freezer on our “no time to cook” or “don’t feel like cooking” nights. Here are some examples:

Frozen Pizza

Costco frozen pizza for the win. Am I right?

Five Cheese Tortelloni

Our entire family loves these and they cook in just a few minutes. I dump sauce into a pan to warm and eat with them. We eat whatever veggie and fruit we have ready to grab. It’s such a fast meal!

Frozen Meatballs

Our kids love these! I often put them in a crockpot with barbecue sauce to warm all afternoon for a fast meal at night. Or I’ll cook some to eat with spaghetti, which the kids think is fancy. ;)

Orange Chicken

We get this at Sam’s, heat it in our air fryer, and serve it with packages of quinoa/rice we get at Costco. Eat it with salad or leftover veggies, and our meal is fast and fun!

French Fry Friday

Often on Friday nights I make nuggets and fries in our Air Fryer and we put in a movie for the kids. They LOVE this!

I think the main key for me is to always keep our meals simple. If I regularly made complicated meals, I’d burn out quickly and want to resort to take-out. But Simple Meals and easy recipes help keep me sane in the kitchen as I feed our large crew!

When do you like to eat out as a family? What are some of your tricks for eating at home more often?

Instant Pot Bacon Chicken Pasta

July 21, 2021 by Laura 2 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

Want to know what my husband said when eating Instant Pot Bacon Chicken Pasta for the first time?

“People pay big bucks for food like this at a restaurant!”

What went through my mind all at the same time when he said that is:

  • Aww, shucks.
  • But this didn’t cost big bucks to make.
  • Why eat out when we can make this at home in 30 minutes, start to finish? 
  • Instead of paying $15/plate, this cost less than $15 for all of us!
  • I pretty much threw this together last minute.
  • My husband likes me more than Olive Garden.

But out loud, I simply said…

Ok, I totally said almost all of that out loud in one sentence without taking a breath and with additional thoughts and twenty to forty more words.

What can I say? I’m home with a bunch of small children all day, which means that for around 10 hours every day my conversations consist of saying things like, “Come over here so I can change your diaper” and “Please don’t let Sissy put that in her mouth.” By the end of the day, I HAVE A LOT OF WORDS LEFT and I love it when they have more to do with grown-up subjects instead of choo-choo trains and wet wipes.

Ultimately though, when Matt said, “People pay big bucks for food like this at a restaurant!” I knew I’d found a winner. It’s so, so true. This meal is restaurant quality for a sweet at-home price. It’s perfect for company and completely easy to make.

If you have an Instant Pot.

Don’t have one yet? Here’s what I have and love and use all the time!

And now, it’s time to get out the simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand and make this awesome “restaurant food.”
