Our schedule\nfor this week includes swim team practice on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and\nbaseball games on Wednesday and Friday. As you can imagine this\nmeans that we are extremely busy. I anticipated this season of busy enough to\ntry a couple of new quick and easy food tricks this week. I am so excited\nto report that they worked! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breakfast is\nalways a big deal at our house. We all enjoy eating breakfast but also like a\nlot of variety. I saw that Harris Teeter had \u201cegg in a cup\u201d on sale for $1.67\neach this week. That gave me an idea and after a little bit of research on the\ninternet, I made my own \u201cbreakfast bags\u201d Zach fried up a pound of sausage while\nI diced green peppers and onions. I placed 1\/8 cup of peppers, 1\/8 cup of\nonions and \u00bc cup in a snack bag, in the freezer they went. My plan was to\nstir a couple of eggs in a cup drop in the bag contents. This week we have\ndecided that you need at least 2 and usually 3 eggs if you chose to add cheese\nto the mixture. In the microwave for 1.5 minutes or you can also add the\nbag to a frying pan and stir. Zach was unable to eat 2 eggs for breakfast so we\ndecided to separate his bag in half and that seems to work well for one\negg. We also have some breakfast burritos in the freezer. These\nsimple omelets are a huge hit. HUGE win for quick and cheap\nbreakfast on the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kendall and\nZach take their lunches to school every day, at this point in the school year,\nwe are tired and really want something new and fun for lunch. Both\nKendall and Zach love uncrustables and we have been able to purchase on sale\nseveral times this school year, however at fifty cent each on sale this is an\nexpensive lunch. I had heard of several folks making homemade ones and\nagain after some research decided to try it. I was a little worried at first\nabout needing some special way to seal the outside, however after using one of\nour glasses to make the circle I was pleasantly surprised to learn that by\nusing the glass it sealed the sandwich. Kendall says that these taste better\nthan the store bought ones. I spent sixty-cent on a loaf of bread for\nthese but otherwise have the peanut butter and grape jelly already in my pantry\nfrom sales. I was able to make 8 sandwiches at the average cost of\nten cent or less each! I am planning to make another batch of these\nthis weekend! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
