Grenadier March (Grenadiersky Pochod)

 Cold winter nights mean hearty and stick-to-your-bones comfort dinner meals in my family.

Having two growing and always starving boys and a husband little dainty dinners don't go over well. Especially when it's cold outside and the boys have been playing hockey or shoveling driveways.

Not only my meals need to be satisfying and tasty they also need to fit into our ever shrinking food budget.

I often get my ideas for cheap meals from my childhood in Slovakia.

Last night I made a dish that goes back to my years in boarding school. This dish was not only super easy to make, but it was made under 30 minutes.

If you are looking for cheap, tasty, hearty meal loaded with carbs this one is for you.

This recipe serves 4-6 portions and it's vegetarian friendly (just leave out the ham).
