Traffic Light Pork Kebobs

I caught a lucky break today with mark downs and clearance items. I got enough pork for two meals for the price of half what one would normally cost, plus a heap of discounted 'packaged' things, that I wouldn't normally buy, like pre-chopped stir fry vegetables, and a tricolour pack of capsicums. We haven't had kebobs in what feels like forever, so Miss Three and I put these together. Red, Orange and Green Capsicum chunks, alternating with onion and diced pork, and then basted with sweet and sour sauce (discounted to 99 cents! Another bargain)

Master Five informed me they weren't really traffic lights though, because it had other colours because of the pork and onion. Next time he's getting sauteed capsicum strips dumped on his bed of rice. Although I'm sure then I'll get complaints about their shape!

Miss Three thought they were tasty. So did Master Five actually, as long as I didn't call them that "wrong" name.

Don't forget to think (and cook!) pink for the Virtual Night In, raising money and awareness for Breast Cancer Research.

Short and Sweet

Went to the shops first thing this morning after dropping off Miss Three at kinder and Master Five at school. I got a bumper haul of goodies discounted as 'near use by' but nothing that has less than 3 days left! Most of it I used in tonight's dinner, and what's left is for tomorrow's.

To start with, I got Italian Meatballs (less than half price), stir fry vegetables, hokkien noodles, baby potatoes with butter and herbs (in a microwaveable container), cheicken tenderloins, and baby spinach/rocket salad mix. So to make tonight's dinner, all I had to get was a jar of sweet and sour sauce (store brand was only $1.79, although you can easily make your own with equal parts sugar and vinegar).

And the best thing was, even though it was all prepackaged foods, it was cheaper than buying whole vegies and chopping it all up myself. Quicker and easier too :D
