Fudge Pie

Sorry this post comes so late, it has been a crazy week for me at school. But on a good note I did cook this past Wednesday but just did not have time to put it up.

I made a simple pie that is supper to make. I found the recipe again on Pinterest which was posted on the website The Budget Diet.  Ingredients needed are:

1-9" frozen pie crust, unbaked

1 eggs

1/2 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 stick butter, melted

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares, melted

Preheat oven to 350°.

First, I melted the chocolate squares in the microwave for about 30 seconds and addition 10 seconds that is needed.

Then in another small bowl beat the egg for 1 minute.

Then add egg, sugar, vanilla, melted butter to the melted chocolate and beat until combined.

 

Once the batter is mixed pour into unbaked pie crust.

Bake in over for 25-30 minutes or until center is almost set.

Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.

Serve.

Enjoy!

I had everything for the pie already so the only thing I had to buy was the pie crust which was about $2.

Crescent Roll Dessert with Peanut Butter

Since I had some Crescent Roll left over from making the Chicken Roll Ups, I decided I would use them in a dessert. Awhile back I had saw on Pinterest a recipe for a dessert using Crescent Rolls so I went back to Pinterest and clicked through to the website, Kids Kubby, which does a lot of different things with Crescent Rolls. I changed the recipe a little from the one on the website but the ingredients are the same I just added an ingredient, peanut butter. For the dessert I used the ingredients:

-Can of Crescent Rolls

-Peanut Butter

-Marshmallows

-Chocolate Chips

Along with these items from home:

-Cookie Sheet
-Knife

Preheat the oven to 350°.

On the Cookie Sheet spread out 4 of the Crescent rolls. Then spread peanut butter on them.

Then on top of the peanut butter at the marshmallows and chocolate chips. Next roll up the crescent rolls.

Repeat the steps above for the other 4 crescent rolls but this time leave off the peanut butter.

Bake in the over for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve.





Enjoy!

For the dessert I only spent $2.94 at Walmart because everything else I had in the kitchen from previous meals besides the Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows. Please excuse the extras on the receipt, those are for future meals.



Chicken Roll Ups and Hamburger-Cheese Dip

Hi everyone! I know it seems forever since I last posted, it has been crazy around between classes, work and getting sick. But those are just excuses and for them I apologize. I have been cooking and saving as always and here what I have cooked lately….. Chicken Roll Ups and Hamburger-Cheese Dip. The Chicken Roll Ups is a dish I found on Pinterest that I have wanted to try from awhile, so got the recipe from the website Jenna’s Journey. The Hamburger-Cheese dip is a dish that my family serves at get together and love.

The ingredients used the Roll Ups:

1 pkg Cream cheese

1 pkg Crescent rolls  

2 Shredded, cooked chicken tenders

1.5 C Grated cheddar cheese

1 C Grated Mozzarella

Bread crumbs (Optional)

1/4 Stick melted butter

For the dip:

1 ½ Hamburger

1 Jar of Salsa con Queso

1 pkg of Cream cheese

Along with these items from home:

Pot

Cookie Sheet

2 Bowls

Small Bowl

Skillet

Knife

Cheese Grater

Spatula

Rubber Spatula

Oil

To start you would want to set out the cream cheese to soften and set the oven to 350°.

Then set a pot full of water on the stove, add to the water a little oil and butter, so that the chicken will not stick the pot. Then add the chicken. (Remember to wash your hands when dealing with raw meat).

Once the chicken is cooking you can start on the cheese. Grate both the cheeses using a grater into a bowl.

Set the cheese aside. Once the chicken is cooked, place in bowl to let it cool. Then shred the chicken.

Add the soften cream cheese to the other two cheese and mix together

Then add the shredded chicken to the cheeses and mix.

On the cookie sheet spread out the crescent rolls.

Added the mixture to the crescent rolls and roll them up.

Melt butter and top over the crescent rolls then place in oven for about 20-25 minutes.

Once cooked take out of oven and let cool.

Now for the Hamburger-Cheese Dip.

Start with in the Skillet cooking the hamburger meat until it done and brown in color.

Once the hamburger meat is cooked, drain the grease from it and low the temperature of the skillet.

Add the Cream Cheese and jar of Salsa con Queso.

Mix the cheese in and let simmer for about 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes remove from heat and it is ready to serve.

Serve  the Chicken Roll Ups and Hamburger-Cheese Dip (with chips).

Enjoy!







Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Freeze Pie

Again this week I was browsing on Pinterest and I came across this recipe for a Reese’s Pie, which only has five ingredients. So I went to the website, Coupon Cousins and tried out their recipe for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Freeze Pie. These are the ingredients needed for the pie:

1 Keebler Chocolate Cookie Pie Crust (or use a regular Graham Cracker Crust)

1 large box of Instant Chocolate Pudding

1 ½ cups of Milk

1 8 oz tub of Cool Whip

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Along with these items from home:

Rubber Spatula

Spoon

Measuring Cup

Bowl

Whisk

Cutting Board

I double everything because I made 2 pies.

Start by putting the Pudding mix in a bowl and adding the Milk. Mix together.

Then add in the Cool Whip and mix with a Whisk then with a Rubber Spatula.

Set the mixture aside.

Now unwrap about 10-15 Reese’s Cups.  On the cutting board, roughly chop the cup up.

Now add the chopped Reese’s cup to the mixture.

Fold the Reese’s cups in the mixture.

Now pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Chop up about five more Reese’s cups and top the pie with them.

Place lid on pie and place in freezer for about 15 or until you ready to serve it.

Cut and Serve.

Enjoy!

Since I double everything to make 2 pies the cost is a little higher then it would be for one pie. And remember on the receipt there is food for 2 meals. Everything was brought at Walmart.

My total cost for the Pies was: $13.85

Sausage and Egg Casserole

I have a roommate who loves having breakfast for dinner anytime she can get it. So today I decided to do just that for her. I wanted to make a meal that was non-traditional breakfast meal, not knowing many recipes for those types of meals I looked on Pinterest. I found this recipe for Sausage and Egg Casserole on Casserole Recipe.

In addition to the casserole I wanted to try and make one of the dishes I have a hard time making. This is going to shock some because it so simple to make but I have the hardest time making GRITS. Yes, I know it weird but for me getting them right is so hard, so I am attempting them today. These are the ingredients for the casserole and grits:

8 slices white bread, cut in cubes

1 pound bulk pork sausage, crumbled and cooked

1 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

10 large eggs

2 cups milk

2 teaspoons dry mustard

Salt

 Pepper

¾ cups of Grits

3 cups of Water

Butter

Along with these items from home:

Glass Pan

Bowl

Spatula

Measuring Spoons

Knife

Cutting Board

Whisk

Pot

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Then I began the casserole by cooking the sausage, then draining the grease off of it.

Set the sausage aside.

Cut the bread into cubes and place in the glass pan.

Then layer the sausage and cheese in the glass pan.

In a bowl mix the eggs, dry mustard, milk, salt and pepper. Then pour over the bread, sausage and cheese.

Place the pan in the oven for 50 minutes or until eggs are cooked.

The casserole will be golden brown when done.

For the grits (which I succeeded in make) should only take about 10 minutes.

First add Grits and salt to boiling water.

Reduce heat and cover for 5 minutes or until the grits reach the right thickness.

Perfectly made Grits.

To round out the meal I added some canned fruit.

Serve.

Enjoy!

The total cost:

Again I brought items for 2 meals at Walmart, so the total cost for this meal was: $16.09
