I have $138.78 in SNAP to last me until Jan. 5th. It seems like plenty, but when you factor in how much the boys eat and it's going to be five of us for two weeks ... well. I don't know.
Does anyone have some bright solutions? Healthy-ish kid-friendly CHEAP recipes? Because all I can think of is hamburger helper and mac & cheese with hotdogs. That's fine some of the time, but not for a solid two weeks. I have a recipe book with cheap recipes in it, but most of the stuff isn't all that cheap nor is it kid-friendly food.

A bag of 15-bean soup will stretch a long ways -- usually all you need to add is an onion and a can of diced tomatoes.
My kids love ramen with silken tofu. When I was a kid, I liked ramen with egg added at the end to make egg-drop soup, but I can't get my kids into that.
If your boys are old enough to like hot sauce, you can add it to any of these -- I don't know what it is, but for me, adding more flavor like that just makes it seem more like a "real dinner".
