Spaghetti Squash With Apples


[This recipe was originally posted in conjunction with the Meijer Ad week of 9/2/12-9/8/12]

I don't usually post a new "sale recipe" if only one of the ingredients is on sale.  But that's exactly what I'm doing today...mostly because it's hard to know what to do with squash!  Squash is on sale at Meijer next week, and it will probably appear in the sale ad (and in lots of produce stands!) a few more times this fall.  Squash prepared this way is delicious, and it will make your kitchen smell amazing!  Enjoy!


Recipe Round-up (Meijer Ad 9/2/12 - 9/8/12)

What are you cooking up for the first week of the month?  What are you planning to pack in your kids' lunches?  There are lots of good ingredients on sale this week, so draw up a menu plan and let's get cooking!

Almost Betty Crocker Brownies


(This recipe was originally posted in conjunction with August's theme of Snacks from Scratch.)

Our family loves fudgy, chewy brownies!  Fresh out of the oven or cold, plain or frosted, brownie sundaes, as a dessert crust...any way you serve it, we'll eat it.  And the basic Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies that come in the red box are our favorite!  That's why I knew I wanted to try this recipe as soon as I saw it mentioned on Money Saving Mom.

Oyster Snacks


(This recipe was originally posted in conjunction with August's theme, Snacks from Scratch.)

These little bites of deliciousness take only a few minutes to prepare, and are a healthy(ier) substitute for potato chips.  You can also use them as salad croutons, or in soup.  (I'm thinking they would really amp up the flavor of a bowl of tomato soup!)  Oh, and they give you really great breath!
