Trying to offset rising grocery prices Week 1: Skillet Spaghetti

Friday's Dinner -- Skillet Spaghetti. Thanks to Marcia @ frugalhealthysimple.blogspot.com for this recipe. It was much better (and easier) than just plain spaghetti topped with sauce. My little girls loved it, and my picky eater ate two big plates! It's also perfect fuel for my 13 mile run tomorrow! This will definitely be going into regular rotation in our house.

Here is a link to the original recipe:

I tweaked it a little bit...I didn't have any artichokes

2 teaspoons olive oil (.10)
1 onion, diced (.40)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (.10)

handful of chopped sun dried tomatoes (optional) (.75)
3 cups water

Served with green salad (1.25)
