Breakfast Savings at Publix and a Giveaway!

Publix Breakfast Savings graphic

Breakfast around here is the craziest time of the day. Everyone gets up and leaves at a different times. Starting with Matt leaving at 6, then Bric at 7, Tate might show his face around 9 and Erin usually doesn’t emerge until noon. See, I am telling you, we are all on very different schedules. Me, I am usually the last to be and the first to rise. I just don’t sleep much. I think it all stems from working on the ambulance years ago and going for days without much sleep. So, I still don’t sleep much, but I am getting better about it. With that being said, it is impossible to fix a breakfast everyone can enjoy.

So, after watching loads of time and money go down the drain due to everyone going a different direction and just grabbing something on the road, it was time to re-think our breakfast routine. We took the challenge and discovered how much time and money we could save each week by shopping and eating breakfast at home. You should too. We were SHOCKED. For the price that we ate breakfast out ONE day, we could all eat at home for about 2 weeks. Even with everyone liking a different cereal or breakfast food!!

April 1st – April 10th during the Publix® Breakfast Savings event, you can take advantage of great savings on some of your family’s favorites like Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and other General Mills breakfast items. For coupon offers on varieties items your whole family will love make sure to visit the Publix Breakfast Savings page at http://www.everydaysaver.com/publix.

Make sure to check out the General Mills coupons at Publix and for more information you can visit the Publix website and follow them at Publix on Facebook and Publix on Twitter.

One Dish Pasta Delish!

 I love one dish meals. I love that they cause less of a mess to clean, they are usually economical and they usually have that comfort food feel about them. This one is stick to your ribs hearty, great for a cold day and tastes great!

Shhh, don’t tell but I also love the fact that I can hide lots of vegetables in the dish.

It is also easy on the budget if you plan it right. Mueller’s typically has coupons for their noodles and when you can find them buy one get one free you can typically get them for free or next to free. I can sometimes also find Johnsonville coupons and paired with a good sale you can get a great deal ( I have about 10 packs in my freezer because we love it!). I got the ground beef marked down and a large bag of carrots we are working on for a very good price. If I had restaurant funding I could be content to cook all day and do so on a budget. Of course being around my house is like running a restaurant some days.

dutch oven pasta ingredients

My recipe is more of a guideline, there is no perfect measurement that is going to make or break this dish. You can also change up the ingredients a little to suit the tastes of your family.

1 package Johnsonville Italian Sausage, 1 pound ground beef, 1 onion (I was out but had chopped green onions and used those), 1 bell pepper, carrots, artichokes, garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning and noodles.  ( I forgot to get my spices, sauce and paste out for the picture)

cook sausage, beef and veggies

 Chop all of the vegetables and place in dutch oven with the meats. Cook thoroughly.

I was lucky and found lean ground beef on sale so I did not have to drain the grease off of mine. If you have a lot of grease you will want to drain some of it off. Leave a little for flavor though.

add sauces

Add in the diced tomatoes (do NOT drain), tomato sauce and tomato paste and Italian seasoning and garlic to taste. I would use 2 cans of each. I had some frozen diced tomatoes and tomato sauce that I used. If you want to make it even easier, just use a large jar of spaghetti sauce and a can of diced tomatoes.

add dry pasta

This is the best part!!!

Just dump your noodles in the pot with every thing else.

Yep, you don’t have to boil them. They will cook in the sauce and taste better than you ever imagined!

Dutch Oven Pasta

Oh Goodness!

Just look at it, and wait till you smell it!

Allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes and the noodles are cooked through.

bowl of one dish pasta

There you have it, my One Dish Pasta Delish!

I hope you enjoy!

ONE DISH PASTA DELISH

1 package Johnsonville Italian Sausage

1 pound ground beef

1 onion

1 bell pepper

2 – 3 carrots

1 can of artichoke hearts

garlic, to taste

2 cans each – diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste (do not drain the diced tomatoes…or you can use one large jar of spaghetti sauce)

Italian seasoning, to taste

noodles (any kind will work although I have never tried using long noodles)

DIRECTIONS:

Cook the meats and vegetables until browned. Add in the tomato products, garlic and spices. Mix well. Add in the uncooked noodles, mix well. Allow to simmer approx. 30 minutes.

Thursday I will be leaving for the Type A Mom Conference. I am leaving my family behind to destroy my house, eat junk and live without the demands of Mom for 3-4 days.

They are such a wonderful company and they have so many unique items that are sure to please. You should really check them out!

In honor of their sponsorship and to thank you my readers…they are offering some savings that can’t be beat. So if you are looking for that special Holiday gift for the little one in your life or just to add to your child’s play and learning environment…checkout these specials:
