Deli Sandwich and Chips

Since we been having such good weather lately most of us like me want to be outside instead inside cooking. So for this post, I did what my mom and I often do during the warm weather….make deli sandwich.

The one good thing about making sandwich is there is no wrong way to make them and you can always put on them anything you want.

For these sandwiches the ingredients used are:

Honey Mustard Dressing

Loaf of bread (French)

Roast Beef and Turkey meat (or whatever sandwich meat you like)

Lettuce (or whatever sandwich toppings you like)

Cheese (the kind you prefer)

Chips

Along with these items from home:

Cutting Board

Knife

Rubber Spatula 

First cut the oven on broil. Then cut the loaf in half.

With the rubber spatula spread honey mustard dressing on the loaf and place in the oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

Then add the sandwich meat on the bottom half of the loaf. Also add the cheese and lettuce.

Then top with other half of loaf.

Serve.

Enjoy!

The total cost for everything for this meal was $14.61. I was lucky to find a deal at Walmart were I could get a pound of deli meat and ½ pound cheese for only $9.00, which helped the cost a lot.

Make It Your Own Mix

It finally Spring time weather and everyone want be outside, so I thought I would make something that you could have on the go.

I decided to make a trail mix that could be sweet but filling too. The ingredients for this variety from what you have around.  

I first brought a bag of Peanut Butter Trail Mix for about $3 and then I added to it make it my own.

The ingredients I used were:

Peanut Butter Trail Mix

First I crumbled the cookies and granola.

In the medium bowl pour some of the trail mix.

Then added each of the ingredients and mixed them in.

Mix them all together.

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.



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

Rice Krispy Treats Remixed & No Bake Cookies

Being a busy student, getting a meal cooked in the middle of the week will be hard, so I have decided to make Wednesdays, “Deserts Wednesdays.” Every Wednesday I chose one to two of my favorite or new deserts and try something new with it. This Wednesday I decided to make something I call “Rice Krispy Treats Remixed” and No Bake Cookies. For these deserts the ingredients you will need are:

Beginning with the Rice Krispy Treats Remixed, take the pot and heat the stick of butter until it is almost melt then add the marshmallow. Stir until all the marshmallows are all melt down.

Remove from heat and add in the Chex cereal. Mix in the cereal well. At the very last minute add in the Chocolate chips.

After everything is mixed well, pour into the Glass Pan.

You can top the Treats with more Chocolate Chips and then let it stand for about an hour.

Now for the No Bake Cookies, begin with heat in a pot the stick of butter, milk, and sugar until it comes to a boil for 2 minutes.

Stir until all the Cocoa is mixed in. 

Once mixed pour quickly onto Wax paper and let stand for about an hour. 

Once the cookies have hardened, cut them with a knife.
