Better, faster, cheaper

Eggs continue to be a budgeters dream.   At .99 for 18, that makes a serving of two .11.  

Scratch food is more sustainable if you can find recipes that are easy and not so time consuming.  

Hard Cooked Eggs

• Place eggs in a muffin tin, one egg in each cup.   This even works in mini muffin tins. 
• Bake in a preheated  350 degree oven for exactly 30 minutes. 
• Take out of the oven and place eggs in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.   
• Use immediately or store dry in a container in the fridge.   

Last night I made pronto pasta.   Most of the pronto pasta that I got was .50 a box.   It cookes in ten minutes on top of the stove in a large frying pan.    I made a sauce from cream of mushroom soup, *

Some milk and sour cream and cooked diced chicken.  I added garlic pepper and onion powder, and parsley.   Topped with Parmesean.   Thawed frozen broccolli would have been a good addition too., 

You stir frequently the pasta for 10 minutes.   Then, add the sauce and stir, adding more milk if necessary until the sauce has come up to temp.   This takes a matter of minutes. 

**. I am using the last of the .39 cream of mushroom soup that I got at thanksgiving time on sale with coupons.
