When I was quite young (like, in diapers and drooling) my dad had a yogurt maker which he used all the time to make his yogurt from scratch and add fruits for us to eat. That might be one solution for the yogurt eater.

One of our favorites is shephards pie. Brown turkey or ground chuck, layer in a casserole dish with a can or two of whole kernel corn, then 1/4-1/2 lb of shredded cheese ( cheddar is better but any will do). Throw in the oven to melt the cheese approx 10-20 min. Then cover with a couple of cups of instant( or homemade) mashed potatoes. Done. Fast, easy and cheap! I also add a can of black beans to the burger to stretch it. The kids and I love it with the beans but not my husband.

Crockpot spaghetti sauce. When I see Italian sausage "reduced for quick sale" I buy it and freeze 2-3 links in a ziplock bag. Remove sausage casings and brown in a skillet, then move cooked sausage to the crockpot. Saute chopped onion and garlic in the released oil. Brown a pound of hamburger. Add a 28-ounce can of pureed tomatoes and an 28-ounce can of chopped tomatoes. Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a touch of salt. Cook in the crockpot for at least six hours (on low).

I save money on this by buying Italian sausage "reduced for quick sale" and freezing it 2-3 links to a ziplock bag. We buy beef from farmers, so it's less expensive than in the grocery store ($1.90/lb whether it's hamburger or T-bone steak). I can tomatoes that we get as leftovers from others' gardens. So the cost of a pot of this with pasta is around $6, and feeds about 8 healthy appetites.
