Frugal Fridays!

I was reading over at my friends at Kudzu Grows about the uses she has for her Christmas Cards. I love her idea and just saw a fabulous one from a creative mom on my wonderful Yahoo group (SHS), that we will be adapting. You take the old Christmas cards, that have the nativity scene on it and cut off the front of the card. You create a booklet and have the children either dictate, or do a written narration about the Christmas story. Make sure you date it for the future.

Another one, is don't throw out that dried/hard bread! You sprinkle butter on it and put it on a cookie sheet and in the oven on broil (make sure you watch it). With tenders, you can dip them in butter. You take the bread and put it in the blender for crumbs. You then add italian seasoning to the crumbs. Now take the tenders from the butter and roll them in the crumbs and walla! There are many tremendous uses for these crumbs, but this is one that we use all the time.

Also I wrote in THIS post, about using different items in pancakes. We try to have breakast about twice a week for dinner to cut on the budget. We had Carrot Cake Pancakes and they were fabulous! muffins that we used the left over diced apples in muffins from this ebook over at Biblical Womanhood. I also look forward to more recipes from this book. We are using the muffins for our 30 days of Joyor Secret Santa for those around us. We are putting the muffins in a basket and making a "Holiday Muffin in a Jar" to go in there. You can click on the link to learn more.
