Guest Post!

Oh goody fun fun!

My awesome sister wrote a guest post! I am so happy about it! 

(because I really had nothing to write about this month...it's been too hot!)

Buuut Holly saves the day! 

She is my hero! She is thrifty, smart and the coolest mom ever (sorry mom)!

So she wrote some super cheap fun recipes that are kid friendly!

This is extra exciting because no part of my life is really "kid friendly" at all, especially some of my favorite brunch foods (this doesn't pose a huge issue for me because I don't know many people with kids and so I don't have to worry about kids being at brunch). I thought though that this would be a good thing to share because its not only kid friendly food it's really good food! 

So enjoy!

Dough.

So I love making life easier and cheap food. Here is a list of fantastic doughy, yummy recipes that I make for only .45 plus some stuff around the house. All recipe’s start as follows:

Start with your base of Hannaford brand dinner rolls in a tube (we buy the small that has 6 rolls for .45)

Cut each roll into 4 pieces and preheat your oven to 350 F.

Cheesy Garlic Drops:

In a glass bowl melt 2 tbs butter and add chopped garlic, fresh garlic or the kind in a jar but DON’T use powdered – gross, and a pinch of Italian seasoning. Add “dough drops” to the mixture and use your hands to get them all coated evenly. In a medium cupcake pan, evenly distribute the dough between the cups and top with shredded mozzarella. Bake for 10(ish) minutes or until the cheese and bread are slightly brown and dough is cooked through. Great with anything.

Mini Monkey Bread:

In a glass bowl melt 2 tbs butter and add 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp sugar. Add “dough drops” to the mixture and use your hands to get them all coated evenly. In a medium cupcake pan, evenly distribute the dough between the cups. Bake for 10(ish) minutes or until the bread is slightly brown and dough is cooked through. Great for breakfast.

Apple Cinnamon Yums:

Cut one baking apple into ½ inch chunks and boil for 3 minutes until they begin to soften. In a glass bowl melt 3 tbs butter and add 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp sugar and 3 tbs oats. Add “dough drops” and apple chunks to the mixture and use your hands to get them all coated evenly. In a medium cupcake pan, evenly distribute the dough between the cups. Bake for 10(ish) minutes or until the bread is slightly brown and dough is cooked through. Top with vanilla ice cream if desired. Great for picnic desert.

When you are distributing the bits, make sure your cups are no more than ¾ full as they will rise. If you have some left over just make two batches. Because butter is a big ingredient, you don’t need to use cupcake liners but you can if you are traveling with them or just like an easier cleanup! Enjoy!
