BJ's: 12 Budget Recipes on The Facebook Fan Page

BJ's Wholesale Club has come up with some great new recipes on their Facebook Fan Page. We are making a switch to a more "whole foods" in our family (much to the chagrin of my children) and these recipes are easy weeknight recipes that are also very budget-friendly AND don't rely on heavily processed ingredients!

And since it is a Friday during Lent, here is what we are having for dinner tonight:
