Save Some Dough With This Recipe!

For as long as our kids can remember I have always made fresh bread. Wheat bread, Parmesan garlic bread, and even chocolate bread. Put it this way, with 6 kids in the house that is A LOT of sandwiches. That isn’t even taking into consideration having a slice of toast with eggs in the morning. I would need to buy a freezer just to keep stocked up on bread if I didn’t make it fresh.

The other thing I would have needed to stock up on are all the sandwich fixings. Lunch meat, sandwich cheese, peanut butter, jelly..you name it. Why? Because even the heartier and more expensive whole wheat bread isn’t as filling as something home baked.

If our kids ate a sandwich on store bought bread they ended up eating twice as many. Now that really is a lot of lunch packing!

So while it may seem like baking bread is a totally labor of love, sometimes it just comes down to saving us some serious dough. Pun intended :~D

This is what Ashton of Something Swanky has to say about this Rising star… sorry I just can’t help myself!

Simple, plain jane, ah-freaking-mazing homemade white bread. It’s a classic, a staple in any home. And it comes straight from my mama.

Quick Tip: Did you know you can freeze dough? Yep you can. Just put it in a airtight bag or container and when ready to use set out on counter for a few hours until defrosted.

Easy Enough For a Monkey TO Make!

Have you ever had a time when someone asked if they could come over for a quick cup of coffee? While it is easy to get the coffee on and cups ready, it is still nice to have a little something to go with it. I mean I guess you could just scoop some peanuts in a bowl and call it good, but wouldn’t it be nice to have something just coming out of the oven?

Chances are you might even have these ingredients already in the fridge. If not, go ahead and stock up because you never know when a little snack would be nice.

The other big bonus to this recipe is that you can eat it with your fingers! So even little snackers will love this.

For our granddaughters birthday I bought her a little tea set. We have had so much fun pouring water from the kettle to the tiny cups. It came with saucers and small dessert plates so I think the next time I visit I will have to whip up a batch of these. She is going to love it and just hearing her say the word banana makes me smile.

This is what Abbey from The Cards We Drew has to say about this fun filled recipe.

I have an amazingly simple cheesecake recipe that I thought I’d turn into a fun little dessert. You can use those ripened bananas and turn them into delicious Banana Cheesecake Rollups. They are WONDERFUL with a cup of coffee or as a great brunch recipe!!

Hey..It is breakfast somewhere in the world! Am I right or what?

Here is the deal. Our family loves breakfast, but we don’t always have time in the morning. We are usually rushing to get out the door for work or school and end up grabbing something on the go. Being able to actually sit down for a meal is a rare opportunity.

Which is why we decided several years ago to have a “Breakfast for dinner” night.

Being able to make a big pan of this also means something else I love about this casserole. Leftovers! This is so amazing heated up that if there is any left you will want to make sure to put it somewhere in the fridge that your family won’t find it, like in an empty tofu container :~D

Enjoy!

This is what Steph of Crazy chicken has to say about this recipe.

It can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen for later. This is a great dish for overnight guests. Mix it up the night before and bake it in the morning. SO easy!

When they said this was the EASIEST cake ever. I thought they were kidding. I was wrong.

When I was a kid my mom used to make a cherry pineapple dump cake. I loved it so much that when I became a mom I taught my kids how to make it so that when company was coming over they could be in charge of dessert.
Seriously, it really is just dumping ingredients into a pan, and baking. Simple enough for a 6-year-old to make. However, I would use a bit of caution when applying a squirt of whipped topping! Just saying from experience!

However,  the cherry and pineapple combo can be on the sweet side and the cost of a can of cherry pie filling is not the most budget friendly.

I haven’t made that dessert in years but seeing that you can use frozen berries? Now that makes sense and I can’t wait to try it! I also love the fact that there is cream cheese in it. I am sure it will give just the right amount of creaminess.

This is what tsp. has to say about this quick and easy dessert.
