I picked up the new Meals for Four Under $15 Recipe Booklet which is part of the Health Starts Here Program when I did my monthly Whole Foods shopping in Virginia Beach.
The Meals for Four Under $15 Recipe Booklet is only found in-store, and I would highly recommend picking it up. There are great recipes for every day of the week already priced to be under $15. I already had some of the ingredients on-hand from matching sales with coupons, so I was able to make these healthy and delicious recipes for even less!!
Last week I made 2 recipes from the booklet: Pineapple Shrimp Lettuce Wraps and Carrot & Zucchini Bread Oatmeal. I’m also looking forward to trying a Quinoa recipe that I found on the end-cap along with the Meals for Four Under $15 Recipe Booklet.
Pineapple Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients:
Directions:
Defrost frozen shrimp and Asian vegetables, as well as frozen brown rice, according to package directions. Grate ginger and garlic and whisk together with soy sauce, vinegar, pineapple juice from can, and scallions. In a pan, add pineapple chunks and 2 Tbsp of sauce; cook until slightly brown. Add the defrosted brown rice, shrimp and veggies. Pour 1/2 of the remaining sauce into the pan and toss to combine. Tear lettuce into individual leaves and fill with the rice, shrimp and veggie mixture. Top with crushed peanuts and extra sauce. Roll and enjoy. Serves 4.
Hubby and the kids decided we needed more shrimp in the recipe next time. We all liked that the pineapple gave the dish a nice sweet flavor.
*Unfortunately, my pictures turned out grainy. I’m not sure what happened with my camera that night.
Carrot & Zucchini Bread Oatmeal
Ingredients:
Directions:
Combine steel-cut oats, almond milk, carrots,zucchini, raisins, nutmeg, cinnamon, walnuts and honey in a medium-size pot; simmer until liquid is adsorbed and oats are fully cooked about 20-25 minutes. Tops with banana slices. Serves 4.
When I went to make the oatmeal, I realized I had run out of my Whole Foods Steel-cut Oats so I substituted Irish Oats. The vanilla flavor from the almond milk gave the dish a nice flavor that was different from other oatmeal’s I’d made. Sneaking in the carrots and zucchini was also a huge plus since the kiddos had no clue they were getting veggies 🙂
Make sure to take a look at the other fabulous Whole Foods Market recipes I’ve made – Vegetable Penne with Sausage and Balsamic Vinegar Recipe & Mole Chili.

Taking pictures is a great way to save memories and remember milestones. As the Mama of two little ones, I am forever snapping photos of my kids being cute. They grow up so fast! I have folders upon folders of digital pictures on the computer, and always mean to get them printed and start a scrapbook . . . except I never seem to have the time or supplies to make one!
MyMemories Suite Software is a great way to capture those photos in a scrapbook without all the hassle of gluing, cutting and pinning. The digital scrapbook software lets you create page layouts with your photos, and you can add embellishments, colorful papers and text to your heart’s content. There is so much you can do with this software, from just enhancing one photo with a few embellishments to creating images for blog headers or greeting cards.
These are a few fun things I created recently:
A Cute Little Gift Tag
A Thank You Card
A Facebook Cover Photo (851px X 315px, in case you were wondering!)
While the software was a little difficult to use at first, the more I played with it the easier it became. They have tons of digital papers and textures to start out your design and after that you can add a few photos and/or text – the sky’s the limit for what you can create. Once you’ve created exactly what you want, you can export it as a .jpg for printing or sharing.
If the multitude of options included in the software package aren’t enough to satisfy your creativity, My Memories Suite has an extensive online shop filled with fantastic kits available for download too. Many of these kits are free, and the rest are reasonably priced. I found a really cute one for Easter that didn’t cost anything.
You can save $10 off your purchase of the My Memories Suite Software with coupon code STMMMS16314. Code is ONLY good for My Memories Suite v4.
What will you create with your new digital scrapbook software?
If you like digital scrapbooking and want to give My Memories a try – you’re in luck! One lucky Coupon Challenge reader will win version 4 of MyMemories Suite Software ($39.97 value) to create your own scrapbooking masterpieces.
The winner will be selected at random. The winner will be contacted via email after the close of the giveaway. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email or a new winner will be selected. Entry for this giveaway will close on April 23rd at 8pm EST.
