Think Outside the Pizza Box
This month has been all about pizza! In her blog, Katy wrote about making Pizza Boats with her family. And Christine shared in her blog about turning leftovers into pizza. Pizza is a versatile food. There are lots of options for crusts and toppings.
Save Food and Money: Turn Leftovers into Pizza
Though I personally love having leftovers at home because it means dinner is just a minute or two away, I realize leftover meals are not always exciting. Thinking creatively about how you repurpose leftover foods can help. I like to think of leftovers as ingredients that are already prepared. I don’t necessarily have to eat them the same way I did when I first made them. I can get creative to use them up in ways I enjoy and make the most of what I already have.
Pizza Night Made Easy
October is officially national pizza month, but if you ask my kiddos, every night is a good night for pizza! Ordering pizza can get a little pricey and often takes a bit of time when you factor in delivery or having to leave the house for carry out. On nights when we want a quick meal, and are craving pizza, we love making Pizza Boats at home!
Black Bean Brownies
This fall and winter we have some fun, new Spend Smart. Eat Smart. recipes to share with you. The first is Black Bean Brownies. Last year our intern, Jill, got us started on this recipe. We enjoyed sitting around our table at work to taste and talk about the different versions of this recipe as it became what it is today. I would like to share with you some of the things we learned along the way.
Pumpkin Muffins: A Delicious Way to Start the Day
School is in full swing for my kids so today I want to share with you the Pumpkin Muffin recipe that helps fuel our busy mornings. These Pumpkin Muffins are a new addition to Spend Smart. Eat Smart. and they get a thumbs up from our house.
Muffins for Fiber
Last week on the blog Jody gave us a great intro into why we need fiber and what foods have fiber in them. For the rest of the month, we are each going to share some practical ways we try to get fiber. My family loves muffins, in fact, I think muffins might be my husband’s favorite food. We eat them for any meal, for snacks, and when we need a sweet treat. Since they are a regular part of our menu plan, I try to choose muffins that will get us some fiber.
