Bacon & Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese

February 9, 2015 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 8 Comments

I don't normally spend much time making lunch. Unless I'm making this beautiful sandwich. It's usually made on the weekends...when I don't have to rush the baking the bacon or caramelizing the onions. Or, you could totally make this for dinner too. Would be great with a simple side salad or with some tomato soup. Or if I'm really craving it during the week, I'll get the … [Read more...]

Homemade Freezer Friendly Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

October 10, 2014 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 8 Comments

Our family loves pizza. Even the dairy free kids. (They get special cheese.) There is just something about pizza. The crust, the sweeter sauce, the cheese, the flavor explosions from the toppings. Or maybe this Americanized Italian food somehow transports us to a world across the ocean to the boot shaped country...and we dream and long for a vacation or trip there. {Oh … [Read more...]
