Our one dollar breakfast




I bought a .50 baguette out of a bakery clearance bin a few days ago. Last night it became garlic bread for our spaghetti dinner (with leftovers today for lunch). This morning it became french toast.

With the additions of 1/2 cup of powdered milk, 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp. of maple flavoring, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, two pats of butter, milk for the kids drinks, and two cups of sugar free cocoa (bought in bulk from Cosco for .10 a packet) it adds up to less than one dollar.



We are still enjoying the benefits of the Grandparents generous farm givings. The eggs for breakfast were free from their well loved and happy chickens. (I wish Cage Free eggs weren't 2.50 a dozen!). The cantaloupe was a volunteer from last year and we volunteered to eat it!
