Being Cheap…But Doing It In Style

Banana cake

Monday 2 February 2009

On a spur of the moment, my family and I went to our friends house. Of course this is when we just pulled this cake out of the oven so we took it with us. My family and friends loved this cake. In fact for my friend to ask for the recipe it was a real compliment, since she is a suburb cook herself.  Since, my husband and son, only eat firm bananas I am always trying  new recipes to use up ripe bananas. I fell the cake is sweet enough just to add powder sugar, but it would also be great with a cream cheese icing.

Leftover Egg Casserole

Friday 30 January 2009

A great recipe that you can use to be creative with your leftovers is my Leftover Egg Casserole.  It’s ideal for giving a new spin on those leftovers crowding up your refrigerator. I find it’s a great thing to prepare the night before and take to my friends when we have breakfast together.  Also to add a little fun during the weeknights I do a breakfast for dinner meal weekly. This really fills my children’s belly even on these cold winter days we are having.  Since this is a fix it and forget it type recipe, I can make it during the day or even let the children help me do it the night before, they get a lot of enjoyment out of ripping the bread apart.  So, when the children come home I can pop this in the oven and help the kids with homework or  just spend some quality time with them.

So from my little corner of the world to your’s here is my  Leftover Egg Casserole:
