What to Make When…Eggs

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on March 9, 2011

Egg salad and fries just don’t “go” together. The kiddos were pretty persuasive. And they were right. We tend to group foods together [...]

Sausage Apple Egg Casserole

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on February 19, 2010

It’s hard to photograph egg casseroles.  Every time I’ve tried, it just doesn’t look as good as it tastes.  I suppose it’s the bland colors. Anyways…L-O-V-E-D the sausage and apple flavors in this casserole! Ingredients 6 slices wheat bread ($.25) 1 lb. mild sausage ($1.99) 1 onion, chopped ($.20) 1 granny smith apple, peeled and [...]
