Rosemary Maple Glazed Turkey Breast

November 9, 2014 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 7 Comments

It's that time of year again. When I get to experimenting and figure out the best way to doctor up the turkey this year. I've shared before that I'm not the hugest fan of turkey. I don't mind it. But I don't really like it. (Until now!) It's just so bland to me. Maybe that's because it sits on a plate with three trillion other amazing flavors coming from the stuffing, … [Read more...]

Pretzel rolls. I can totally binge on them. Not I can. But I do. They are one of the non-sweet foods that I can actually binge on. I'll spare you the list of sweet foods that I … [Read more...]

Coconut Key Lime Bread

October 22, 2014 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 1 Comment

Last week a dream came true for me. This dream has been 2 years in the making. Not long after I found out I was pregnant with Cuatro in the summer of 2012, a terrible longing for the beach came over me. Like, a crazy longing. To be at the beach, by myself...with my girlfriends. (My husband is a mountain guy, so a beach vacation with him might be a bad idea!) When you have … [Read more...]

Making a double batch of baked oatmeal is super simple...and once it cools down, it's easy to prep for the freezer. I generally slice up a 9x13 pan of baked oatmeal into 12 or 16 squares and then … [Read more...]

Butternut Cranberry Rice Pilaf

October 15, 2014 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom Leave a Comment

All the flavors of fall in a dinner dish. That's this rice pilaf! When making this, I used 1/2 cup of wild rice because I have some in the pantry and I'm trying to use it up! You could use all brown rice or even all wild rice if you have some. Wild rice is expensive, which is why I try to use it sparingly and stretch it out! This pilaf has roasted butternut squash, … [Read more...]
