Looking for a way to use up a lot of eggs in a hurry? This easy Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole is always a hit in my medium sized family!

Any time I’m staring down an abundance of eggs…whether it’s from a loss leader deal at the grocery store or because one of my kids hit a whiffle ball and discovered a jackpot of hidden eggs from our free range chickens…my second favorite go-to idea is this Sausage Egg Breakfast Casserole.

(Anyone with a sweet tooth will understand that my first idea is always a good Angel Food Cake!)

If you are in search of an easy weeknight recipe that is largely dump and go (ok, I will have to ask you to brown the sausage first…you don’t want a clump of greasy sausage on your fork, do you??), look no further!

5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week #173

by | Oct 11, 2024 | Ways We Saved This Week

I managed to remember to leave the house a little early so we could shop for a leotard before dance class started.

My teenage daughter has the nerve to continue growing on me, despite me trying to shrink her back to her cute little twirly mini self. 😉

She and the instructor looked through the rack to find something that might fit her, when her teacher remembered that they had a small bin of hand me downs she could search through for free.

Well, guess who found one in that bin that fit?

Gotta love a kid who helps you stay frugal!

I told her thanks for making the 5 ways post for this week. But since I’m using this idea up here, I guess it’s a bonus!

A good apple crisp recipe is one of those simple desserts that instantly drums up memories of Grandma’s house in the fall.

For some reason, it gets overlooked as an easy dessert recipe idea, but I don’t even know why.

If I’m totally honest, I’ve even served it for breakfast! Hey, it has fruit and oats in it. What’s so different from a bowl of oatmeal?

Today is definitely the day to give this apple crisp recipe a try.

Should I just ignore the fact that I haven’t shared a post in this series for months and months? Or should I talk about it?

Your life is busy, my life is busy. Excuses, excuses.

Who cares about the reasons, right?

Whether I’ve written about it or not, the quest to save money in an economy that makes regular living nearly impossible continues. Because of course it does.

Just in case anyone finds help in the ways I’ve managed to save my own family some cash (even in really trying times), I thought I would do my best to get back to sharing ideas here.

And as always, everyone here would love to see your ideas, too! So if you have any good suggestions, leave a comment. But be nice about it. 😉
