Continuing our series on easy, healthy, frugal convenience food mixes, today we’re going to talk about biscuits. You may or may not have a good use for biscuits. At our home, we enjoy biscuits and gravy for breakfast. That’s how we eat biscuits most frequently. Occasionally, I make a pot pie and put biscuits as [...]

Today I’ll be sharing three soup mixes that are easy, delicious, and inexpensive to make. If you missed my post about the benefits of making a mix, click here to catch up.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts
One super-easy way to fix a love-it-or-hate-it veggie that we know as Brussels sprouts is to roast them. Here’s how you do it. Cut your fresh brussels sprouts in half (especially if they are kind of large. The small ones, well, not so much.) Toss in a bowl with some olive oil. You don’t want [...]
Praline Pumpkin Pie
This is one of our family’s favorite holiday recipes. We eat it for Thanksgiving or Christmas—it’s really great for both! Our family does not use dairy or eggs, so you will see that reflected in this recipe. I am sure that you can substitute dairy for the milk, for example. One other highlight is that [...]
Happenings…

I got the idea for the baguette because one of my coworkers brought French toast to work one day for breakfast, and it was super-yummy. [...]
Dairy-free pancakes and sugar-free fruit sauce
I have to confess that I usually don’t cook hot breakfasts like this on the week mornings that I go to work. This picture on the left was taken on a weekend. If I do cook a hot breakfast, it is this hot cereal (click here). However, I made pancakes this evening and made enough for later [...]

Breakfast savings
I never knew how expensive cereal was until I started my own home. My husband loves cereal, and some of his particular favorites include Weetabix (which averages $4-something-a-box for the organic biscuits), Grape Nuts, and Raisin Bran. Yeah. They’re not what I call cheap. (And he goes through it quickly!) On the other hand, I [...]
