Hi, I'm Liz. I live with my husband and two kids in Denver, where mountains meet metro. By my own admission, I am the queen of cheap. I love finding great deals, but more than that, I love finding pleasure in the simple things in life. I truly believe living rich doesn't have to be expensive.

Living rich doesn't have to be expensive

Feeding 6 for 8 - Blueberry Pancakes

Sunday, July 25, 2010

Who doesn't love breakfast for dinner?

Menu:
  • Blueberry pancakes
  • Turkey bacon
Recipe:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
  1. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir the egg, milk and melted butter into the flour mixture, working only until the batter is thoroughly moistened. Vigorous beating will produce leaden pancakes.
  3. Lightly grease and heat a heavy griddle or skillet.
  4. Drop the batter onto the cooking surface. Cook one side, then flip.
Yield: About 18 pancakes.

Shopping List:
  • Blueberries (in season!) - $1.99
  • Turkey bacon - $2.29
  • Flour (if you happen to have run out) - $1.57
Stuff You Should Have Already:
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Butter
Grand Total:
  • $5.85
  • (Way under $8, so you have a little wiggle room if you ran out of any of the staples listed above)
