I adapted this recipe from an old Cooking Light recipe. I love it but made a few changes. It's my go-to recipe. It's a great recipe for using up left over chicken. My whole family will eat it, too!

Sometimes a baking recipe will call for a small amount of buttermilk. I found this nifty tip in one of my cookbooks years ago and haven't bought buttermilk since.

Homemade Soy MilkWe have vegetarians in our family and found they did not like alternate milks, except soy. Soy milk is expensive, so I decided to make my own. Dried soy beans are cheap.

bowl of applesauce
Almost Grandma's ApplesauceMy grandma recently passed away. She was the best cook in the world, anyone that knew her would tell you the same thing. One of her specialties was her applesauce. I have been fiddling with my recipe for quite some time, and this is finally "almost" just like Grandma's!

Twice Baked Potato CasseroleThis is a very frugal dish. When you make twice baked potatoes, a hungry guest might take a whole potato but only eat half. Now, this is what I do. It's twice baked potatoes, but in a casserole instead of the shell.

Hot Dog Bun Garlic ToastOne night I realized I had forgotten to buy garlic bread for our dinner. Too late for a trip to the store. I realized I had some extra hot dog buns though, and decided I could improvise.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Apple Cinnamon OatmealOatmeal is so filling, quick, and cheap! But oatmeal can get so boring! I like to "spice" it up every now and then to make it enjoyable again. One of the things I like about this recipe is that you can use your less than perfect apples that are starting to get a bit soft.
