bacon Stuffing........submitted by Tricia Stone
1 pound bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
6 medium yellow or Spanish onions, sliced thin (about 7 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped fine
3 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, cut into thin strips
12 cups dried white bread cubes
1 cup chicken broth
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Cook bacon in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp and browned, about 12 minutes. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard all but 3 tablespoons rendered bacon fat.
Increase heat to medium-high and add onions and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook onions until golden in color, making sure to stir occasionally and scrape sides and bottom of pan, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring more often to prevent burning, until onions are deep golden brown, another 5 minutes. Add apples and continue to cook another 5 minutes. Transfer contents of pan to large bowl.
Add remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, parsley, and sage to bowl and mix to combine. Add bread cubes.
Whisk stock and eggs together in small bowl. Pour mixture over bread cubes. Gently toss to evenly distribute ingredients.
Use as a stuffing or spoon into a greased baking dish. (If baking in a dish and moister stuffing is desired, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more stock or broth to stuffing before spooning stuffing into dish.)
Bake at 350°F (175°C) until the top has formed a crust and the stuffing is heated through, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

My small simple (frugal) life.
In starting my fugal page I have taught others many things with couponing and frugal homemade ways but I also too have learned other things I would have never ever tried. One of my Best friends Sara has taught me the handy dandy way of canning. and I LOVE IT... one week I went on a craze and nearly canned everything uncluding the kids! I also even break out the sewing machine once in a while and give a crack at it with something I envision ( and it never comes out that way)..baby steps....small small baby steps.
I by far, have some of the most awesome, dedicated frugal mamas of all time. I love and appreciate everyone of you girls who have been there from the beginning and who still every Thursday faithfully post them recipes. I have never had so many recipe cards filled in my life...and to this very day I still LOVE the Homemade alfrado sauce. NEVER ever will I buy from the store again!
So this isn't a fancy post but its more of a Thank You post to ALL near and far who bother to come across my blog or my facebook page and want to learn the value of a dollarand who want to share or use some of the recipes or Ideas or ticks that we all as frugal mamas want to enjoy together!!!

Easy Pumpkin spice cookies.....by Lisa Mullenuex
CRAZY EASY PUMPKIN SPICE COOKIES
(I didn't believe this would be good... till I tried it!)
1 spice cake mix
1 (15oz) can pumpkin
Mix the 2 magic ingredients together till well blended. THAT'S IT. Crazy! I use a cookie scoop to make "pretty" cookies... but you can use a couple of spoons... drop onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes. Frost with cream cheese icing. These are soft, airy cookies. These taste even better the second day, when the spices have had a chance to "mellow". I made a batch with a Devil's food cake mix and added chocolate chips, and they literally flew off the plate... YUM!

Grease 8×8 pan, pour in the batter and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

If you like your brownies gooey, you’ll want to take them out between 30 and 32 minutes. It really depends on the actual heat of your oven. Mine are done at 32 minutes. At 35 minutes I don’t like them anymore. But you can experiment.

Ingredients:
2 pounds beef bottom round, trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons kosher salt
...
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 whole eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
2) Cut meat with grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Season each piece on both sides with salt and pepper. Place flour into a pie pan. Place eggs into a separate pie pan. Dredge meat on both sides in flour. Tenderize meat, using a jaccard type tenderizer, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Once tenderized, dredge meat again in flour, followed by egg and finally in flour again. Repeat with all pieces of meat. Place meat onto a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.
3) Use enough vegetable oil to cover bottom of a 12-inch skillet and set over medium-high heat. When oil begins to shimmer, add meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd pan. Cook each piece on both sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove steaks to a wire rack set in a baking pan and place in oven. Repeat until all meat is browned.
4) Add remaining vegetable oil, or at least 1 tablespoon, to skillet. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour left over from dredging. Add chicken broth and whisk until gravy comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add milk and thyme and whisk until gravy coats a spoon, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste, with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the gravy over steaks.

Directions:
Layer a 8 x8 in pan with foil. Make sure the foil lays over the sides of the pan. This will make it easier to remove the ice cream cake from the pan when frozen.
Layer 5 1/2 ice cream sandwiches on the bottom of the pan. Spread a layer of hot fudge topping on top of the ice cream sandwiches. Then spread half of the cool whip on top of the fudge topping.
Repeat the same process with the second layer ending with hot fudge. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about one hour. Remove from freezer and remove the ice cream cake from the pan.
Lift the cake peeling it off of the foil and place it onto a serving plate. Frost with additional cool whip.
Drizzle on some Hershey's chocolate syrup and garnish with chocolate chips and sprinkles or the candy toppings of choice.

Ingredients
2 pkg white cake make according to pkg directions or use your favorite recipe
1 cup salted butter softened
...
1 32 oz pkg powdered sugar
1 1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
fresh strawberries to top on cake
Instructions
Bake your white cake in two round pans according to directions and allow to cool. You may want to stick your rounds in the freezer for an hour so it's easier to frost.
For FROSTING: Beat butter until smooth in large bowl. Slowly add about 1/2 of the powdered sugar. Then add the strawberries and mix on low speed. Continue to add the rest of the powdered sugar until you get a smooth consistancy. If it looks too thick add more strawberries. If it's too thin add more powdered sugar.
Once the cakes are cooled spread jam over the first layer. Then add a layer of frosting. You could add a layer of thin strawberries here too. Then carefully add your second layer of cake. Add more frosting to fill in the gaps. Then frost the entire cake.

A Masterpeice .......by Billie Starner-Capps
The other day I just threw together a meal. No recipe, but the family raved about it and I had nothing left over! LOL
I had some boneless skinless chicken breasts and I seared them in a skillet, then cooked them thoroughly.
While the chicken was cooking, I diced up some celery, onion, banana peppers, sweet peppers, green peppers and I sauteed that. Then I added two cups of rice and browned it. I coated the sauteed veggies and rice with about a half a cup of flour, and then added five cups of water. Usually it calls for four cups of water per two cups of rice, but I added extra water to give my rice a gravy effect. I seasoned with lemon pepper, salt, garlic to taste.
...
I diced up two of the chicken breasts as the rice cooked. When the rice was done I added the chicken breasts, a half a cup of Parmesan cheese, and topped off with shredded fiesta blend cheese.
You know it's good when the family licks their plate clean! :)

7 -10 potatoes, cubed
7- 10 carrots, 1/2" to 1" slices
...
5-6 stalks celery, 1/2" to 1" slices
1 large onion, large diced
Spices you like, I used pepper, garlic, pinch of salt.
1-2 stickes of butter, divided by tablespoons
1. Cube meat, set aside.
2. Cube vegetables, combine in large bowl. Add spices and stir to coat veggies.
3. Make pies crust or use refigerated pies crusts. Roll out crust for a pie. Layer on 1/2 of pies crust, meat (enought for a serving), veggies ( I over fill a little), put a piece of butter on top and fold pie crust over to make a half moon shape. Pinch crust together to seal.
4. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about and hour.
Pie Crust recipe I used:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup shortening (I used lard)
4-5 tsps. cold water
Mix flour and salt in mixing bowl, cut in shortening until it resembles small peas. Sprinkle in water by the tsp. and mix after adding each tsp. Makes a stiff dough. Divide in half. Makes two crusts. Can make crusts ahead and wrap in plastic wrap to keep moist.
I usually freeze some of these for easy fast meals. Not this weekend though:)

1/2 c. Granulated Sugar (for dusting)
Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Continue beating until well mixed. Add flour and baking soda, beat until well mixed. Divide dough into thirds. Press one-third of the white dough evenly into the bottom of a loaf pan that you have lined with foil, wax, or parchment paper. Place another one-third of the dough into a bowl and add yellow and red food dye to make orange (refer to the chart on the back of your box). Once it is mixed evenly, press orange dough evenly over white dough. In another bowl, add the final amount of dough and dye yellow. Press that evenly over the orange dough. Cover and refrigerate until firm (2 hours or overnight is best). Once chilled, invert your loaf pan and unwrap your dough. Flip it back over and place it on a cutting board. Cut loaf crosswise into 1/4-inch slices using a sharp knife, trimming edges to make even, if necessary. Cut each slice into 6 wedges. Place 1-inch apart onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes in a pre-heated 375 degree oven. Place cookies straight into a bowl with sugar and coat. Place coated cookies on a baking rack to cool

Lasagna Roll Ups.....by Kristin Johnson

Alfredo Sauce:
1 pint heavy cream • 2 Tablespoon cream cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 stick of butter
...
1/2 - 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
In saucepan, combine butter, cream & cream cheese. Simmer until it's all melted & mixed well.
Add Parmesan & garlic powder. Simmer for 15-20 minutes on low.
Now that you have that ready, let's make some lasagna roll-ups!
To make 6 roll-ups, I used:
8x8" glass pan
6 lasagna noodles
alfredo sauce
2-3 chicken tenderloins
Italian seasoning
Mozzarella, Parmesan or whatever cheese you like
Prep pan by spraying with a little bit of non-stick spray and pour some alfredo sauce in to just cover the bottom of the pan. Start cooking the chicken with a little bit of Italian seasoning, and it helps to start boiling a pan of water for noodles at the same time.
When chicken is done, cut into small (slightly smaller than bite-size) pieces and split into 6 piles. When the water is at a rolling boil, drop in noodles and cook for about 8-10 minutes (or until al dente). Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent them from sticking to each other. (*Very Important!*) Lay out the noodles on some wax paper & blot dry with a paper towel.
Spread a little bit of alfredo sauce over each noodle. (Don't put too much or it will make a bigger mess for you to clean up later.) Sprinkle a little bit of Italian seasoning. Take one of your little groups of chicken and try to spread them out evenly over the noodle. Add a little bit of cheese. To roll up, start at one end and roll the noodle over the toppings. They can be hard to handle if they weren't dried. You won't be able to roll them tight and will have to lift the noodle a little over the chicken, otherwise you will end up pushing all the toppings out the other side.
Place the roll-up in the pan, seam-side down so they don't come undone. Once they are all in the pan, pour some more alfredo sauce overtop & try to get in between the roll-ups so they won't stick together. Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning if you want, then add cheese on top. Then bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted on top.
In saucepan, combine butter, cream & cream cheese. Simmer until it's all melted & mixed well.
Add Parmesan & garlic powder. Simmer for 15-20 minutes on low.

Prep pan by spraying with a little bit of non-stick spray and pour some alfredo sauce in to just cover the bottom of the pan. Start cooking the chicken with a little bit of Italian seasoning, and it helps to start boiling a pan of water for noodles at the same time.
When chicken is done, cut into small (slightly smaller than bite-size) pieces and split into 6 piles. When the water is at a rolling boil, drop in noodles and cook for about 8-10 minutes (or until al dente). Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent them from sticking to each other. (*Very Important!*) Lay out the noodles on some wax paper & blot dry with a paper towel.
Spread a little bit of alfredo sauce over each noodle. (Don't put too much or it will make a bigger mess for you to clean up later.) Sprinkle a little bit of Italian seasoning. Take one of your little groups of chicken and try to spread them out evenly over the noodle. Add a little bit of cheese. To roll up, start at one end and roll the noodle over the toppings. They can be hard to handle if they weren't dried. You won't be able to roll them tight and will have to lift the noodle a little over the chicken, otherwise you will end up pushing all the toppings out the other side.
Place the roll-up in the pan, seam-side down so they don't come undone. Once they are all in the pan, pour some more alfredo sauce overtop & try to get in between the roll-ups so they won't stick together. Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning if you want, then add cheese on top. Then bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted on top.

Ingredients:
5 cups chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 cup sour cream
2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups crushed Ritz crackers (about 1 1/2 rolls of crackers)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 T poppy seeds
Additional Ingredients to make it fancy:
1 tsp Worchestire sauce
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp minced garlic
1 T lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Boil raw chicken breasts with salt and pepper until done. I like to boil it with half an onion cut into large chunks to give it more flavor. Let chicken cool slightly and cut into one inch cubes. Place cubed chicken in a 9X13 casserole dish.
Stir together the condensed soup and sour cream. If you wish to add the additional flavorings stir in the worchestire, celery salt, garlic, lemon juice, and pepper to the soup and sour cream mixture. Pour over the chicken.

Oreos (crushed)
Gummy worms
Mix the chocolate pudding with the whipped cream and add a little bit of the crushed oreos (not too much though). Fill the cup about 3/4 of the way with this. Then add crushed oreos for the other 1/4 of the way. Then place worm(s) on top! Awesome for kids! :)
