Yeah. Mmm<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Whole Wheat, Oatmeal, and Banana Pancakes</span></b></span><br />
1 c. uncooked rolled oats<br />
1 c. whole wheat flour<br />
3/4 c. all-purpose flour<br />
1/4 c. brown sugar<br />
2 T. dry milk powder<br />
2 t. baking powder<br />
1/2 t. baking soda<br />
1/2 t. salt<br />
1 egg<br />
2 c. milk<br />
2 T vegetable oil<br />
1 t. vanilla<br />
1 banana, mashed<br />
<br />
This is how I did it. Mix all the dry stuff together in a mixing bowl. Put in the wet stuff. Mix it all together and let it sit for 5 minutes. Heat up your griddle like you would normally for pancakes and cook same as usual...cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13101399559614616079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027814111060154212.post-6226892492710598892010-10-02T21:46:00.000-07:002010-10-02T22:03:45.404-07:00Overnight Blueberry (or Strawberry) French Toastmmm mmm good. The original recipe calls for blueberries, but I use strawberries instead because I'm not a fan of the antioxidant packed blueberry. Oh well. <br /><br />Ok, so this is Meals 'N Deals. Where does the deal come in? Well, hmmm I had to think about this one because I really wanted to share it, but ya know, I wanted to stick with the Meals 'N Deals idea. This isn't just a recipe blog right? We're more over here at Meals 'N Deals. So, I thought, and truly, this meal cost me about $6 for the whole crew -- which was 6 adults and 2 kids this morning.<br /><br />Bread -- on sale, but you could even make it (which would be so yummy and hearty in this)<br />Eggs -- dozen eggs were about $2<br />Cream cheese -- ok, this was more expensive...$2.56<br />Strawberries -- on sale in bulk...I'd say it was, oh, maybe about $2.<br />Other ingredients -- I have on hand<br />Total: Ok, maybe more like $8. Not super cheap, but for a special occassion, which it is this weekend...feeding so many hungry adults, I thought it was good. My father-in-law liked it so much he kept calling it dessert for breakfast. That was nice to hear. <br /><br /><br />Makes 8-10 servings<br /><br />12 slices day old bread<br />8 oz pkg. cream cheese<br />1 c. fresh or frozen strawberries<br />12 eggs<br />2 c. milk<br />1 t. vanilla<br />1/3 c. maple syrup or honey (I use honey)<br /><br />Sauce:<br />1 c. white sugar<br />1 c. water<br />1 c. strawberries<br />1 T. butter<br /><br />Cut <strong><span style="color:#cc9933;">bread</span></strong> into 1 inch cubes. Place half into a greased baking dish (9x13). Cut <strong>cream cheese</strong> into small pieces and place over bread. Top with <strong><span style="color:#ff6666;">strawberries</span></strong> <em>(now the recipe says 1c. but I usually take a handful of cleaned and cut up strawberries and sprinkle it over to my heart's content)</em> and remining bread crumbs. Beat <strong><span style="color:#ffff66;">eggs</span></strong> in large bowl; add <strong>milk</strong>, <strong><span style="color:#cc9933;">vanilla</span></strong>, and <strong><span style="color:#ffcc66;">honey</span></strong> (or syrup). Mix well; pour over bread crubes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.<br /><br />Next morning (Good Morning by the way!) remove from the refrigerator 1/2 hour before baking. Preheat oven to 350. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake another 25-30 minutos or until center is set and is golden in color.<br /><br />Prepare the sauce in a saucepan by combining the <strong>sugar</strong> and <strong>cornstarch</strong>. Add <strong>water</strong> and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly and boil for 3-4 minutes. Stir in <strong><span style="color:#ff6666;">strawberries</span></strong> and reduce heat; cook for 10 minutes or until strawberries start to fall apart a bit (if you are using blueberries, the blueberries will begin to pop). Stir in the <span style="color:#ffff99;"><strong>butter</strong></span> and pour over the french toast. <br /><br />I just doubled the sauce and am saving the left overs. I'm going to make some flapjacks for the girls this week and will use the remainder of the sauce as the syrup. mmmmmJennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13101399559614616079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027814111060154212.post-53297261914565756602010-09-27T16:52:00.000-07:002010-09-27T17:02:04.775-07:00How to Cook BeansSort through 1 lb of beans and remove rocks or broken beans. Rinse beans in cold water. Put beans in large pot and add 6-8 cups of water. Boil for two minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let soak for 1 hour. Drain beans. Add 6-8 cups of water and 2 tsp of salt. Cook beans, covered, for about 2 hours or until tender. Add a little more water if necessary. Boil beans gently and stir very little to prevent breaking of skins. After beans are cooled, you can put them in freezer bags and freeze until you need them for soups, chilis, crockpot recipes, etc.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14386398481372035502noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027814111060154212.post-69066179070340237302010-09-27T16:45:00.000-07:002010-09-27T16:51:57.411-07:00Taco Salad1 bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed<br />1 lb ground beef, cooked, drained and cooled<br />1 white/sweet onion chopped<br />1 can sliced olives<br />1 can kidney beans, rinsed and dried<br />1 1/2 - 2 heads of iceberg lettuce chopped<br />1 bottle of Catalina dressing<br />2-3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded<br />2-3 tomatoes, chopped<br /><br />Mix everything in a large bowl.

Stir with a wooden spoon just until combined then put towel over the top of the bowl and let it rise for 1 hour. Scrape dough out of bowl and put on a greased (I simply spray it with Pam) cookie sheet or pie dish. Let rise 1 more hour. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Turn down heat to 350° and bake for 20 more minutes. Brush top with butter as soon as it comes out of the oven and sprinkle salt lightly over the top (I use a course <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1285282665_3">sea salt</span> but any salt will work). This recipe can easily be

Has this blog died? I think so. But, I'm going to give this a try anyway, because last night (not to toot my own horn), I made the best dinner. That's right. And I'm going to share it with you here.<br /><br />Presenting a Hungarian classic -- what I think of as comfort food for the Hungarians. I read somewhere that you can rarely order this in a restaurant...that it's an at-home classic. Well, I didn't hit too many restaurants when I lived in Hungary, so I wouldn't know. BUT, I do think it's yummy and filing, and relatively inexpensive to make. My recipe is what I learned from a Hungarian, so there's no real written down recipe. You know those kind of recipes. So, no exact science to it, but it's pretty easy anyway. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfebBbM1_h6UIDgSc5ZRkiBQsKRr14WdYyv27BzRsQS3pEEoEZ-2q41pFjzSUMSyA17R-QcAxIbNfooMudU4piBHtvGTOT-NFWRNU2TfunZ3u4PIoWV3lo-XGA5TYfMvwxKulPRQ8AK-0/s1600/rakott+krumpli.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfebBbM1_h6UIDgSc5ZRkiBQsKRr14WdYyv27BzRsQS3pEEoEZ-2q41pFjzSUMSyA17R-QcAxIbNfooMudU4piBHtvGTOT-NFWRNU2TfunZ3u4PIoWV3lo-XGA5TYfMvwxKulPRQ8AK-0/s400/rakott+krumpli.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515369645063680274" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hungarian Rakott Krumpli</span><br /><br />7-8 Potatoes<br />10 Eggs<br />16 - 20 oz. sour cream<br />Vegeta or other seasonings<br />Some milk<br />Cheese<br />Oil<br />Kolbasz (sausage. whatever you like. This time I used turkey sausage and pepperoni to add a bit of spice)<br /><br />Ok...here goes it. Boil the potatoes in their skin. In the meantime, boil your eggs to make them good and hard-boiled. When the potatoes are done, let them cool so you can handle them. Now, you're going to peel the potatoes, but if they are still a bit warm, the skin just peels off by rubbing your fingers along it. Slice the potatoes long way.<br /><br />When eggs are done, let them cool, and peel them as well. Slice them long ways.<br /><br />Cut up your sausage to however thickness you'd like.<br /><br />In a separate bowl, mix your sour cream with some milk to thin it out a bit. I add my seasoning with my sour cream concoction. I use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegeta_%28food%29">Vegeta</a> because I have it, but any kind of seasonings here will compliment the dish...seasoning salt, parsley, oregano...play around with it.<br /><br />Now, time to layer. Put a layer of potatoes on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Next, layer some of the hard-boiled egg. (I like a lot of eggs). Then a layer of sausage. Once I have those basic layers down, I put little dollops of the seasoned sour cream mixture over the top. And who doesn't love cheese? So sprinkle a bit of that on top too...but just a bit because it'll be really rich if you do. You don't even need to add cheese. It's still good and less expensive. Then do the layers again. I usually end up with about 3 layers, but it's a pretty full casserole dish. When I'm all done, I sprinkle a bit of paprika (optional) and some more seasoning and put a tiny bit of oil over top. The oil could probably be omitted, but living in Hungary where many of them eat pure oil (practically!), I guess it's just habit.<br /><br />I usually put tin foil over top and bake at 350-400 for about 40 minutes. Yummy yummy. Serve with some kind of veggie side dish and some fresh baked bread. mmmm Enjoy your Hungarian experience.<br /><br />The cost of this meal is relatively inexpensive. The bulk of it is potatoes and eggs...cheaper items. The sausage, depending on what you buy, will definitely add more to the cost ~ but it's a pretty dense and filling meal. We had it for dinner last night and have 1/2 the casserole dish left. Definitely a 2 meal dinner.<br /><br />Jo etvagyat!

She gives the detail and step-by-step instructions that I needed to get rolling and now I know so much more about how to save money.<br />.<br />I used to shop only at Winco because it is super cheap but now I am saving so much using coupons and double coupons at stores like Albertsons and Safeway that I don't end up buying as much at Winco except for the basics and produce, etc.<br />.<br />The best part besides saving money is that we are building up a great "family store" in the garage for our food storage.<br />.<br />I have learned that I could easily become obsessed with all the deals but I just try to do a couple deals a week and NOT try to do them all because I wouldn't have any ink left in my printer.<br />.<br />Other cool coupon sites:<br /><a href="http://www.hip2save.com/">http://www.hip2save.com/</a><br />coupons.com<br />kraftfoods.com </div>Jenaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09510992068907124213noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027814111060154212.post-55407449311651607472009-05-04T10:14:00.000-07:002009-05-04T10:20:27.657-07:00Turner meals for week of May 3rdSunday - Good ol' fashioned pot roast and jello with fresh whipped cream<br />Monday - fish, baked potato, peas and carrots<br />Tuesday - Sausage rice casserole, cabbage<br />Wednesday - <a href="http://www.grouprecipes.com/33496/baked-cinnamon-french-toast.html">Baked cinnamon french toast</a> for the boys - I have a ladies night out!<br />Thursday - Pizza (1 side with spam (for Brent), the other side hawaiian for me)<br />Friday - out<br />Saturday - <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-and-Black-Beans/Detail.aspx">Quinoa and black beans</a> with chickenElizahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11067519378567539357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027814111060154212.post-76875346623778713742009-04-30T13:47:00.000-07:002009-04-30T13:55:12.248-07:00Black Bean LasagnaSo, I've been asked to share more of my bean recipes. Here's the thing, I love beans. My husband loves beans. My girls love beans. So we're beanin' it up lately and save loads of money. Loads? you ask. Yes, loads. When you aren't buying as much meat, it's amazing how much money you save. I've also gotten into canning meat, so when the chicken breasts are on sale, I'm buying a bunch and canning it. It tastes soooo good and it's super convenient, and, of course, cheaper. <br /><br />Here's a bean recipe we had the Monday night. My vegetarian friend gave this recipe to me, and I tell you, everyone who has had it or made it for their family comes back with raving reviews. I personally love lasagna and this isn't quite the same, but it really is quite tasty If you try it, I'd love to know what you think. <br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">10 no-cook lasagna noodles</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">2 cups spaghetti sauce</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1 cup salsa</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1 t. cumin</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1 t. minced garlic</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">2 (15 oz.) cans black beans, rinsed and drained</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">15 oz. ricotta cheese</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1 egg</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1/4 c. skim milk</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1/3 c. grated parmesan cheese</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">2 c. grated mozzarella cheese</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Combine sause, salsa, cumin, garlic, and beans. Combine ricotta, egg, milk, and parmesan. Layer in a 9x13 pan, starting with a thin layer of sauces, noodles, ricotta, more sauce, then cheese. Repeat to make 3 layers. Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes. You can also use regular noodles, just cook before proceeding with recipe. (I also tend to use more mozzarella cheese. I put a small layer over each layer of ricotta. Can never have too much cheese.)</span>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13101399559614616079noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027814111060154212.post-85284207902252799802009-04-23T20:31:00.000-07:002009-04-23T20:52:23.899-07:00Save Money Planning Monthly MealsWell goodness. I had meant to post about my monthly meal planning, but I forgot. As Jenae mentioned, I did post about it on my family blog, but I meant to do it here too. Here's the rundown. I take one day and plan for the entire month. I assign each day of the week a theme. (See Jenae's monthly plan) That makes it easier to plan. Instead of thinking "hmmm 30 dinners to think of..." I think "What are 4 Mexican meals we like? What are 4 casseroles we like? What are 4 soups I'll make?" It makes it much more do-able, and it only takes me about 20 minutes to plan for the month. The first couple months, I saved about $20-40 dollars. I was happy. Last month, I cut $100 off our grocery bill! <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hello </span></span>monthly meal planning, you are now my best friend. Nice to meet 'cha. When you have your meals in front of you for the month, it's much easier to buy the items you need in bulk, or on sale, and you don't waste as much. I also started to strategically plan my menus. For instance, I knew I was making an enchilada casserole where I'd need refried beans. So, I thought of other meals that needed refried beans so I could buy those in bulk and make it stretch. I do one large shopping trip in the beginning of the month and go to the grocery store mid-month to restock our milk and produce. (I have to admit though, that part of that $100 saving is because we've done more vegetarian meals. If you can use beans instead of meat, it saves a ton.)<br /><br />I recently taught an enrichment on preparing your 3 month food storage supply, and in it I introduced monthly meal planning. I've had several people tell me how it's helped them save money and they really enjoy it. It's taken the stress out of planning/cooking meals and made it fun again. Isn't that how it should be anyway? The idea sounds overwhelming, but it's so easy. I love it. And if it saves me $100 a month -- shoot -- I'm doing it!<br /><br />So, for a week, you need 7 different themes for your meals. Here are just a few that I've used:<br /><br />Sandwiches<br />Salads<br />Soup<br />Casserole<br />Chicken<br />Crockpot (usually on Sunday because we have 1pm church)<br />Leftovers (usually my Saturday night)<br />Fish<br />Stir-fry<br />Mexican<br />Italian<br />Fish<br />Chinese<br />VegetarianJennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13101399559614616079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027814111060154212.post-65623374817412077362009-04-21T14:19:00.000-07:002009-04-21T14:25:00.424-07:00Trying the Monthly Meal Planning OutThanks for posting Ann!<br />I too am back with a post of meals, this time a whole month's worth.<br /><br />Jenny had a post on her blog about doing a different style of monthly meal planning so I am trying that out in April and so far I love it!
