A quick idea on preparing square meals (or triangular, if you will).  I have commented on other blogs about inexpensive and quick meals, I have mentioned simple, "Three Point" meals.  I thought I would expand upon what I meant by the term.

My wife and I have a small army to feed, so we have to provide frugal, but square meals.  Our idea of a Three Point Meal is:

Meat

• Beef
• Poultry
• Pork
• Fish

Starch

• Potato (Any style)
• Pasta
• Rice (Brown, wild, yellow, etc.)

Vegetable (I usually like two)

Mix and match as you like.  By providing starches and veggies, we can cut back on the expensive meat and the kids never complain (a real money saving approach).
