Egg Sandwiches!

These freezer egg sandwiches are super easy, quick and yummy. 

They are great for busy mornings with work, school, or other activities. 

All You Need; 

• Eggs 
• Ham / Bacon
• Cheese Slices
• English Muffins 

 

Take a muffin tin and spray it with a cooking spray.

Break one egg into each spot. 

Pierce egg with a sharp knife to break the yolk. 

Salt and pepper to taste. 

Bake in oven at 350 degrees until cooked through. 

13 - 15 minutes. 

 

Notice one of the muffins missing in the second photo? Apparently J wanted a snack!

While the eggs are cooking, slice the english muffins in half and place a cheese slice on one half. Place ham or cooked bacon on opposite half of the muffin. 

Once eggs are cooked remove them from the pan and place on top of cheese. 

Top the muffin with the other half. 

Allow to cool a few minutes before wrapping in plastic wrap. 

I wrap all sandwiches individually then place them flat into a large freezer safe bag. 

I freeze immediately. 

I make 6 egg sandwiches to freeze every week. 

 

Applesauce!

I recently purchased a 4lb bag of apples from my local grocery store. They were regularly $4.99 but were reduced 50% because some of them were a little soft and bruised. 

These apples were perfect for applesauce!

 

 

 

All You Need; 

- Crockpot 

- Apples (peeled, cored, & diced)

- 1 tbl of cinnamon 

- 2 tbl of brown sugar 

- 1/2 cup of water 

 

Peel, core, and dice all your apples to approximately the same size. 

Place all apples into your crock pot and pour half a cup of water on top. 

Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on top of apples and stir to combine. 

Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours stirring occasionally. 

I highly recommend leaving the applesauce on your counter to cool some before placing into fridge safe containers. 

 

Enjoy!

 

 

Money Saving With Produce

There are some easy ways to save money on fresh produce for you an your family.

Obviously, looking for sales on produce is the first step to saving money in the produce department. Sales are a great way to trim your grocery budget in all departments in the grocery store.

There are not a lot of coupons available for fresh produce, so finding great sales are the best way to save money.
Shopping the seasons are always great as well.

When you find a deal you can't pass up it is always a good idea to buy extras and do some freezing for future recipes!

These peppers were a little soft, but nothing that wasn't easily fixed by washing chopping and throwing in the freezer.


Now we have a huge bag of peppers in our freezer waiting to be used! 

Tomato Macaroni Soup

This recipe is one of my all time favorites. 

Mostly because of how versatile it really is. 

The tomato base of this soup is easy, inexpensive, and healthier than using a cream base. 

 

 

What you Need For The Base; 

- Can of Original Tomato Sauce 

- Carton of Broth (Chicken or Vegetable)

- Can of Crushed Tomatoes 

- Salt & Pepper to Taste

 

 

To make the base all you have to do is empty the pasta sauce into a large soup pot and slowly add the broth. Whisk until combined. 

 

Add Ins; 

- Elbow Pasta 

- Carrots 

- Celery 

- Zucchini 

- Potatoes 

- Spinach 

- Anything you have! 

 

If choosing to add pasta or vegetables, I recommend bringing the base mixture to a steady boil before adding your yummy extras. 

The finished product. 

I went with a very simple soup of the tomato base, elbow pasta and canned tomatoes.

Served with warm grilled cheese for dipping. 

Delicious. Easy. Quick. Frugal.
