first off - skirt steak is something that mom cooks all the time. it is thin steak that you cut across the grain. you can also use london broil. its a mid-priced steak.
Second - the puff pastry recipe is so easy. Can of cream of chicken (add some milk), peas, chicken (use rotisserie for super simple), celery (sauted til softer), we add broccoli. warm through. pour over cooked pastry.
Third - i have a pretty well stocked pantry so i don't always need to buy the dry or canned stuff (pasta, corn salad, etc) but i always buy fresh meat (altho if chicken is on sale i'll buy and freeze). I usually plan one or two meals so i can have leftovers (usually chicken and ground beef in other forms). I made a resolution to spend less money and/or account for all the money i do spend. I realized i was wasting so much by shopping without a plan. I stick to a budget of about $300 a month on groceries and i'm doing a pretty good job sticking to that. something else i did was inventory my pantry. i took everything out, combined half boxes, and then put everything back in by category (dry, soup, canned veggies, baby, etc) which helps me realize what i need to restock and what i have to use.

carrots, onion and celery. the vegetable trinity. my puff pastry is really good. use fresh veggies and saute. or buy canned stuff in a hurry. but use lots of vegetables.
