Mixed Berry Bread Recipe

October 4, 2010 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 7 Comments

Every have one of those..."Oh, I just have to stop what I'm doing and make this...now"...moments?!  That totally happened to me this weekend. I stopped what I was doing (rather, procrastinated on what I was supposed to be doing) and made these little goodies.  Best part is the recipe makes plenty...enough to eat and freeze! Here's what happened before I had that moment.  I … [Read more...]

Chocolate Chip Raspberry Pancakes

September 18, 2009 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 11 Comments

Because I was able to get another box of raspberries for $.98 on Monday, leftover from last week's sale, I had to get these pancakes made and marked off the "Stock the Freezer" list! As I was making them, I kept thinking to myself...chocolate for breakfast? Really? I wasn't sure how I felt about that. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for chocolate. But somehow for breakfast, it … [Read more...]

Raspberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream

July 2, 2009 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 9 Comments

The beginning of the summer is just not the best time to learn about a dairy allergy! Hello, ice cream??? I have made the boys some homemade popsicles using fresh juice, but I really wanted them to be able to enjoy some ice cream for the 4th of July, as well as for my oldest's upcoming birthday! A pint of coconut or rice milk ice cream at the store hovers … [Read more...]

Raspberry Vanilla French Toast

June 19, 2009 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 11 Comments

Last weekend I accidentally made this for breakfast...and I couldn't not share the recipe. It was a total experiment...and I didn't think it would work. There was just a few raspberries left in one of the freezer baggies (trying to be creative with my $1 raspberries!), so I thought I'd give this a whirl... Note: We did eat this for breakfast, but it would make a DELICIOUS … [Read more...]

How to Freeze Raspberries

June 2, 2009 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 55 Comments

Is stockpiling fruit and vegetables really necessary?  Is it worth the time and trouble? Yes. And Yes. Raspberries were on sale at my Kroger.  (Yes, it is mine!) For $.99/pint.  Those tiny little things are regularly $3 a pop.  I never buy them...somehow can't justify spending $3 for 3 handfuls of DELICIOUS, SWEET, SUCCULENT raspberries.  (I had … [Read more...]
