Side Dishes- GREEN BEANS!

ALWAYS have at least one Green thing on your plate! That is my eating Rule. They won't always like the same things. My boys like broccolli and one likes asparagus. But, most kids will eat Green beans.

Try adding a little bacon in before you add the green beans. It give it some flavor and then just salt, pepper & add a little garlic salt. Keep it simple. You can use canned or fresh.

Sausage Biscuts for BREAKFAST!

Here is another GREAT breakfast idea! Try sausage biscuts. Just buy the cheap biscuts, you know the 4 together, which gives you 10 biscuts. Then by the off brand sausage. I usually only pay around $1.20 for a roll. You can freeze them and thaw them right before you use them. The trick is not to thaw them all the way, just enough to get your knife through. Cut them into 10 pieces and put in the frying pan for around 3 minutes per side. I usually cook mine twice, that would be 6 minutes per side total or 12 minutes total.

While you are thawing out the sausage, pre-heat the oven to 400^ and spray a pan and pop open biscuits and follow directions to cook. So far, you have around $2 for breakfast!

If that is not enough, you can always fry eggs or scramble and you can have sausage and egg or add cheese. I usually cut up a piece of fruit with this, like an orange.

BARBEQUE BBQ IN THE CROCK POT

If you need another great crock pot idea, here is a Great Simple one. Just take a Boston Butt and place it in the crockpot. Cook 6-8 hours. Before you add the BBQ sauce, take off the juice and measure it and put it in another pan for rice. We call it "GREEZY RICE" and boy is it good! Just add rice & twice the liquid (including the juice from the pot). Start the rice to boil with lid and turn down to low and simmer 20 minutes (just don't lift the lid). Once you have the juice off the BBQ, just add mustard based sauce. It doesn't have to be the expensive kind. The cheap stuff will do. Let it cook for about an hour longer. It will be falling apart, but you can cut it up for the hash look. I also fix a can or 2 of off brand green beans with galic salt, salt & pepper. What a great and hearty meal! Sometimes you can get Boston Butt for $.99 a lb.
