Cheap Graduation Party Food Ideas (Menu for 100)

With 6 kids in our family, we have to stick to a very tight budget. So, when my oldest daughter was graduating from our homeschool, we knew that we would have to be very creative in our choices for the venue, food, and decorations. While it's very common for people in our part of Nebraska to grab frozen finger foods from Sam's Club, or a meat and cheese tray from the grocery store, we had only about $125 to spend total and many out of town relatives coming for the entire day. We had to feed them a full meal if we expected them to make the drive. (Note that this budget was created and met by shopping in bulk with my Sam's Club membership .

There are several different variations, but the cheapest and most affordable is to use one part flour to one part water. (We used Great Value brand flour for our project, but any white version will do.) Just mix them together in a bowl to create a smooth soup. Add one teaspoon salt to discourage mold. (This is important if you live in an area of high humidity!) 3. Prepare your surfa

Recipe: How to Fry Tender Chicken Gizzards

I grew up loving fried chicken gizzards. They were a treat we would order from restaurants, usually in a basket meal with fries. While they aren't as common as a menu item today, you can easily find the packages of chicken gizzards and hearts for $2 or less on sale at most grocers. As a rare fried treat, you can't find it much cheaper! How do you fry chicken gizzards? And what's with the chewy texture? Can you fry tender chicken gizzards? Yes, you can! Here's how to cook chicken gizzards tender and make restaurant-quality meals at home for your family! (See also: How to Fry Morel Mushrooms ) How to Fry Tender Chicken Gizzards 1. Start by putting the gizzards in a large stock pot and just cover with water. (This would be the point you remove the hearts from the mixture if you don't want to eat them. But I love them, too!) 2. Add salt and black pepper, then turn the stove to medium-high heat and bring the water to boiling. (You can also add a stalk of cel
