Breakfast from scratch

Breakfast is usually coming in cheaper than dinner costwise. We have breakfast for dinner at least once every two weeks. I do usually make it Sunday breakfast fare.

New cookbook on the magazine shelves is taste of home "Ultimate Freezer Cookbook". It is 30% off at Costco. I don't think you have to have a freezer to benefit from this book.

Freezer waffles are a lot cheaper than ready made. You can cook when you have time to make it less hectic when you don't have time. Also a recipe for homemade sausage. It uses pork butt. Unless you can get pork butt for a buck a pound, it is not worth it. Unless maybe you can control the fat better.

Avoid freezing milk based casseroles, potatoes, raw produce, and cooked pasta. I do freeze red and green peppers without a problem.

Breakfasts for dinner.

1) quiche, mixed greens salad with fruit and a raspberry or balsamic vinagrette

2) apple spiced waffles, sausage links. Fruit.

3) andouille egg burritos.

4) bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast ( hash browns from scratch are a pain. I either use
Hash brown patties that ivget at Safeways or I get dehydrated ones at business Costco.


Regular breakfast we use muffins, banana- blueberry bread, oatmeal with fruit,
You would be surprised what fruit and veggies you can hide in muffins.
We don't buy cold cereal. Maybe anboccasional cherrio. Sugar coated cereal is one of the most expensive way to bust your budget, and not to healthy either.

Thanks for stopping by...
