Apple Pfannelkucken ($0.35 per Serving)

I was first introduced to this delectable dish by The Frugal Girl.    I enjoyed her
recipe but modified it to suit my family’s preferences.  


Now whenever we need a little pick me up or a special breakfast, we will make
a few of these pancakes and enjoy.    (I must confess we need to make
multiples because my son will eat an entire pancake himself.)    


Ingredients: 
4 Tablespoons of Butter
3 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar
2 Eggs 
6-7 Tablespoons of Flour
¼ Teaspoon of Salt
6-7 Tablespoons of Milk
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla 
1 Medium Apple 
2 Tablespoon of Sugar 
½ Teaspoon of Cinnamon 


Instructions: 

Place butter in a 9 inch pie plate and
place in the oven.   Heat oven to 400 degrees F. 

In a medium bowl, beat eggs, flour, salt, milk and vanilla until smooth.  

In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.  

Remove pan from oven when butter is melted and
add brown sugar.   Stir until combined.   

Peel and slice apples.  
Then place in the pan in a decorative manner.   

Sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon.   

Pour batter over the top and bake in the oven for
18-20 minutes or until puffed and brown.  

When finished flip onto a cutting board
and cut like a pie.    Enjoy.

2025 Updated Breakfast Under $1.00

On the USDA Website, their thrifty grocery budgets range from  $25.70 to $72.80 per week ($3.67 - $10.40 per day) per person.   The two factors that determine the amount allocated are age and sex.  With such a small amount of money allocated daily for food and my attempt to eat healthily, I need to plan each week carefully.     With the Bird Flu hitting America hard recently, the egg is no longer a humble star but is turning into a luxury.     A dozen eggs cost $5.49 or $0.46 each.  At this price, I am looking at other options for breakfast.   Breakfast is a great place to add value to your meal planning.    It can be the cheapest or most expensive meal.  The choice is up to you.    NOTE: Prices are for the Northeast area for March 1,  2025 Let’s look at breakfasts that come in at or under $1.00.     Beagle and Cream Cheese ($0.69 per serving) Kroger Prices Bagels (6ct)- $2...

The Frugal Five: #88

  The Frugal Five: #88 With inflation on the rise and salaries not increasing, our ability to make ends meet keeps going down.    Therefore, we must be more careful with our money.   The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     This week I am exploring how to keep costs down during busy weeks.    Keeping dinner on the table instead of eating out is one of my strategies to get the job done.    Here are some of my tips and trips.    1- Free-Bee Pick Up  Over the last month, we have been blessed with several Free-Bees.  First, a friend gave us a dozen eggs from his chickens.  In addition, we picked up several photos with discount codes from Walgreens and CVS.   Next, we used our local grocery store coupons for several free food items such as seltzer water, ice cream, etc.   Then, we picked up toothpaste and eyeliners from ...
