Thanks for the nice comment about my bl...TxDoodler,<br />Thanks for the nice comment about my blog. I appreciate that! You can click on the biscuit link in this post and find one of biscuit recipes. I use a large glass in order to make large sandwich type biscuits. If I am not serving breakfast sandwiches and I want smaller biscuits, I will use a regular biscuit cutter. I plan on posting my buttermilk pancake recipe soon. I actually have two pancake recipes, but they both use buttermilk. One is for regular pancakes, and the other one is for whole wheat pancakes. My kids like them both. The buttermilk does change the taste and texture of pancakes as well as biscuits. I understand the concern about weight. I battle that one myself. Mayfield puts out a lowfat buttermilk product. I use the regular buttermilk because I like the baked goods that it produces. My "resident health nut" will eat my pancakes. He is especially fond of the whole wheat ones. (I grind wheat berries to make those). He loves them when I add fresh blueberries to the batter. Another note, buttermilk ain't cheap. One half gallon will last me at least a week. It costs about $3.89 here. But on the upside, nobody drinks it so it is always available when I am ready to use it. Hope this helps!!!<br /><br />Marci,<br />Thanks! Also i wanted to thank you for offering to fix my header for me. I may take you up on it soon! I am getting really frustrated with trying to figure it out. Hope you enjoy your day!<br /><br />Kristy,<br />Trust me...you aren't alone in this whole breakfast thing. I was doing the happy dance this morning because I had homemade muffins in the cookie jar that i made yesterday. I didn't cook breakfast, and it made my day! And answer me this, why do these kids ONLY want cereal for snacks and not use it for its intended purpose??? Go figure!<br /><br />Andrea Cherie,<br />I like your way of thinking!!! I will also freeze homemade biscuit sandwiches, homemade waffles, and cinnamon rolls. I used to freeze homemade pancakes, but the kids take them out the same day I freeze them and devour them. I figured it wasn't worth the ziploc bag!!<br /><br />Paige,<br />Leftovers are a blessing. Michael has always taken leftovers to work with him. A lot of people at his work came to know me through the dinners I made. We still eat leftovers for lunch...when there are leftovers, I should say! Send my love to all! I still haven't had my good long converation with your momma yet. maybe I can catch her this weekend!!! I need my "Dawn fix"! It has been way too long.<br /><br />grace and peace,<br />julieTnFullQuiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481669514010206648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18354646.post-24835236919619483222010-03-04T22:20:47.286-05:002010-03-04T22:20:47.286-05:00Excellent ideas! Saving money but eating so much ...Excellent ideas! Saving money but eating so much better is such a satisfying feeling. Dan and I nearly always comment on how cheap our meals is--and how healthy they are. For regular meals, I normally cook the same as I did at home with the family, but we pack up leftovers for lunch--I can't tell you how much we've saved over our co-workers and class-mates in the past two years! Usually they buy lunch--at the tune of $5+ a person. We're saving $50 a week by just taking leftovers with us! Over the past two years, that's $5,000 in two years (no joke....)<br /><br />Also, I've crunched the numbers to make my own hot chocolate mix in bulk for Dan as he normally drinks it daily in the winter on the job-site. We're not coffee drinkers, but instead prefer tea and hot chocolate. To dress up the cheap-o black tea bags, I'll often mix 4 or 5 regular tea bags with 1-2 chai or earl grey tea bags for a little twist on the standard iced tea.<br /><br />Breakfast is the one area, though, that I'd have to say that we splurge a bit on, but home-made muffins, banana bread and your great Coffee cake bread make great, quick, affordable breakfasts and snacks!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600037978764364572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18354646.post-37702956095263262392010-03-04T20:48:32.641-05:002010-03-04T20:48:32.641-05:00Oh Julie. I think I could have written this post! ...Oh Julie. I think I could have written this post! <br /><br />I am not a "big" breakfast eater, I usually snack as I cook for Jason. He too hate's cereal :( and usually grumbles when there's oatmeal served. (QUICK! Yes!!). I have had to gently remind him that if he's going to cut my grocery spending, which he's done recently, he will have to have oatmeal 2 times per week. I can't fund omelets, pancakes and breakfast tacos EVERY day! One of my saving graces is that I love to freeze pancakes. Those are an easy toaster oven re-heat!Andrea Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486648121741883193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18354646.post-32101367394801672392010-03-04T19:50:41.268-05:002010-03-04T19:50:41.268-05:00I thought I was the only mom had issues with break...I thought I was the only mom had issues with breakfast. I too don't like it and I'm not a fan of cooking it for the same reasons you stated. Thanks for your suggestions! I keep cereal but my kids don't really like it either unless it's snack time. Hmmm now I think I'm going to rethink buying more cereal. Thanks again :)<br /><br />~Kristy~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18354646.post-85242561356755441462010-03-04T12:32:44.090-05:002010-03-04T12:32:44.090-05:00Great post Julie.

I'm learning so much from your recent posts & frugality. <br /><br />To save money & health, we make homemade pancakes & waffles(from scratch) all the time. I've never used buttermilk. (Jo loves pancakes, will devour them & not quit-I worry about his weight)We always use 2% milk or nonfat powdered milk, thinking I'm keeping the family trim. Is there a big taste difference with buttermilk? Will your "resident health nut" eat them? Is there more nutrition in them?<br /><br />Also, do you have a recipe post for your buttermilk biscuits? I buy the frozen pillsbury's from time to time. I'd love to learn how to make them from scratch!TX Doodlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066198638577897704noreply@blogger.com
