EGGS AND CHEESE

Let's talk about eggs and cheese

 Eggs periodically go on sale. They have a pretty far out pull date.

1) hard cooked eggs..lunch?
2) quiche
3) breakfast for dinner is a good save for dinner on the fly
4) Italian fritatta

You can have a pure vegetarian dimmer and sneak in the protein in the form of cream brûlée for desert.

CHEESE

1) Mac and cheese
2)pizza
3)beer cheese soup

I recently got eggs for a dollar a dozen limit four with a store coupon at safe ways check the math, qfc had eggs for 1.69 for 18. That was more expensive.

I never want to pay more than 2.50 a pound for cheese.if grated cheese is more, I grate my own. A food processor is a good investment and more than pays for itself over time. The cheese section is very sneaky. Check the math. Sometimes those little 8 oz bags of shredded cheese are a good buy, but often they are four dollars a pound. I can still find medium cheese in two pou d bricks for 5.00 or less. I stock up. It lasts a long time If left in it's packaging and you can freeze grated cheese. It is best if you freeze store bought grated cheese. It doesn t Clump. But homemade is still good for cheese sauce or Mac and cheese. Grocery outlet is a good source for cheese. Watch the pull dates, if you can use anything almost immediately, buy an  almost stale dated cheese ..check first for mold

Next: PORK
