She Bakes! | Breakfast Popovers Recipe
For breakfast this morning, I made one of our favorite breakfast recipes … we call them Breakfast Popovers. This is a yummy breakfast that combines some of our favorite things when it comes to a weekend breakfast: a) REALLY easy b) YUMmmmy c) very affordable (great for big groups) d) actually somewhat healthy.
I literally blend them up in the mixer and pour them into muffin tins, wait 9-12 minutes (love that part, so quick!) and they are done!
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
4-6 eggs (The more eggs, the denser the popover, and sometimes I remove a couple yolks)
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 Tablespoons sugar
Preheat the oven to 450F ~ blend the above in a blender. Spray muffin tins with Pam, fill 1/2 way with mix~ put in oven for about 9 to 12 minutes on middle rack (watch them close, they can start to darken quickly past 9 min). We top these with home canned peaches ~ blueberries ~ applesauce, syrup, powdered sugar… whatever you like! Today we used bananas and fresh picked raspberries (so good!) This recipe makes 16-20 Popovers.
Happy breakfast…. and enjoy!

I’m baking up one of our favorites today…we call it: Easy Bread. It’s called Easy Bread for a reason… it’s SO simple. (and let me tell you … Easy Bread makes one mean grilled cheese sandwich!)
Here is what you will need to make Easy Bread:
3 Cups Warm Water (almost hot)
1 package Yeast (or 2 1/2 tsps)
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
5-6 cups flour (I have used many kinds of flour with this bread, so experiment and see what you like best)
First of all, combine your water, yeast, sugar and salt and let them sit for 5 minutes. Slowly start adding in your flour, and by the 4th or 5th cup of flour, I am usually using my hands. Add in flour as you need it (I usually use the full 6 cups) Continue kneading with your hands until dough is in a ball and is somewhat elastic. Spray a bowl with cooking spray and leave the dough ball in there for rise (covered) for about an hour. Now separate the dough into two parts (with floured hands) and knead each ball a little and then shape into a loaf and set each into a sprayed bread loaf pan. I then cover them with sprayed plastic wrap (to prevent sticking) and then cover that with a towel and put them up again for another hour to rise. Now you are ready to bake them for 20-25 minutes in a 350 oven.
This recipe really is SO easy… and while the total time is over 2 hours (almost 3), it only takes a quick minute to do each step, which is why I can fit this into my day so easily.
Two best ways (in my opinion) to eat this bread? Butter and honey (to die for) … or slice and add cheddar cheese and microwave until cheese melts – so good!!
Happy Sunday everyone … enjoy!

If you love Brussels Sprouts (like I do!) then you will love this quick and easy recipe. If you DON’T love them… I completely understand. I am the only one in my family that likes them, but I really really like them … so I was very excited when my friend Nicole from Nicoles’ Nickels shared with me an easy way to prepare them!
All that you need to do is purchase fresh brussels sprouts, wash them and then drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and spread them on a baking sheet. Set your oven to 350° and let them bake for 20 – 30 minutes. (I like them a little crispy, so I did them at 25, but it all depends on how you like them) Such a fun and healthy way to eat them, and it makes for a wonderful summer snack or addition to a meal!

Happy Father’s Day everyone!
One thing that my hubby can always count on for Father’s Day is a home cooked breakfast. His request this year was a recipe that I invented when we were first married and have been making for him for years: Sourdough Cream Cheese French Toast. The best thing about this recipe, besides the fact that it is delicious, is that it is super easy!
You will need:
Sourdough Bread (I buy Seattle Sourdough Round by Franz Bread)
Eggs
Milk
Vanilla
Cream Cheese
Berries/Bananas
Syrup (I used huckleberry syrup this morning)
Powdered Sugar
Directions: First, you will want to make French Toast like you normally would (For my egg mixture, I mix 5 eggs (I remove yolks from 3 of them, but that is up to you), a splash of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla). I used the entire bag of bread, so I actually doubled the egg mixture. We really love this recipe with the HUGE sliced Seattle Sourdough Cracked Wheat Sourdough bread (made by Franz Bread), but any bread will work.
Dip your bread, front and back in egg mixture and then place on Pam sprayed skillet.
Brown on both sides, and just before it is almost done, I spread on a layer of cream cheese and then add strawberries and bananas (this helps the cream cheese to seep into the bread, so yummy!) Top with other berries, if you like … add syrup and powdered sugar and enjoy!

SheSaved readers, please welcome Merissa from Little House Living, who has another amazing recipe to share with us today!!
I love a good recipe that not only tastes great fresh out of the oven, but also can be stored in the freezer and tastes just as great when I want to pull it out again. Plus I love adding any recipe to my collection that uses mashed up bananas because it seems like I always have some I need to use up!
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups mashed banana
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Mix together the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and banana. Then add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Put half of the mixture into a separate bowl and add the cocoa. Grease the bottom of a 9×13 or smaller bar pan and pour the cocoa mixture in. Put the rest of the mixture on top of that. Sprinkle with chocolate chips(I did less than 1 c.) Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until the top is browned and a toothpick comes out clean. These freeze really well.

I am so excited to have Liz and Doug here with a guest post (you might remember Liz from Hoosier Homemade, as she has done some fun cupcake posts for me in the past!)
Happy Monday She Saved fans! Liz and Doug here from Pocket Change Gourmet! We are excited to be sharing Budget Friendly Recipes with you, here on She Saved!
Did you all enjoy your Easter? Do you have lots of leftovers like we do?
If you are anything like me, we sometimes get stuck in a leftover rut. This Ham and Potato Casserole is a new twist on the classic Ham and Scalloped Potatoes. It goes together really quickly and can even be made ahead of time, covered and stored in the refrigerator or even frozen for an easy dinner when time is short.
The holidays are some of my favorite times of the year. Not only because of getting together with friends and family, but also the food that comes along with it. It’s also a great opportunity to stock up on seasonally priced meat. Ham and turkey are always a good choice and can generally be found at greatly reduced prices before and after the holidays.
Casserole’s are terrific budget and time savers, offering the best of both makes them a staple in many recipe boxes. We have enjoyed this casserole for breakfast, a large brunch, dinner and even as a hearty lunch.
Ham and Potato Casserole
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced ham
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 cups bag frozen hash browns, shredded and thawed – we bought a 30 oz bag and used about 2/3 of the bag
- 3 1/2 cups shredded cheese blend
- 1 1/2 cups {12 oz} Cottage Cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Saute onion in a little butter on the stovetop
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients
- Transfer to a 13×9 baking dish
- Bake uncovered for 40-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean {this is a wide range of time, every oven cooks differently, keep an eye on it}
This recipe is a great way to use up some leftover Easter Ham, but you can certainly use sausage or bacon. It will serve about 6 people, depending on how large the servings are and the other dishes you serve along side.
Thanks for having us Keri Lyn!! You can find more Budget Friendly Recipes over at Pocket Change Gourmet, follow us on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter.
Always a pleasure to have you … please hurry back with more fun recipes for us! I know what we are eating tonight

The more and more I continue on my mission to simplify things, the more I am finding that schedules really do work.
So… I am in the process of outlining my weekly activities so that I can fit everything in. We love home baked bread, but sometimes I get too scattered to bake it and we find ourselves making a quick run to the store for bread. In an attempt to commit myself to NOT being scattered (at least in the bread making department) I have officially declared Thursdays (sometimes Tuesdays, depending on need/time/etc) as BREAD BAKING DAY…so I thought that I would share with you one of our favorite recipes, which also happens to be one of the easiest that I have tried.
In fact…we call it: Easy Bread. (and let me tell you … Easy Bread makes one mean grilled cheese sandwich!)
Here is what you will need to make Easy Bread:
3 Cups Warm Water (almost hot)
1 package Yeast (or 2 1/2 tsps)
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
5-6 cups flour (I have used many kinds of flour with this bread, so experiment and see what you like best. )
First of all, combine your water, yeast, sugar and salt and let them sit for 5 minutes. Slowly start adding in your flour, and by the 4th or 5th cup of flour, I am usually using my hands. Add in flour as you need it (I usually use the full 6 cups) Continue kneading with your hands until dough is in a ball and is somewhat elastic. Spray a bowl with cooking spray and leave the dough ball in there for rise (covered) for about an hour. Now separate the dough into two parts (with floured hands) and knead each ball a little and then shape into a loaf and set each into a sprayed bread loaf pan. I then cover them with sprayed plastic wrap (to prevent sticking) and then cover that with a towel and put them up again for another hour to rise. Now you are ready to bake them for 20-25 minutes in a 350 oven.
This recipe really is SO easy… and while the total time is over 2 hours (almost 3), it only takes a quick minute to do each step, which is why I can fit this into my day so easily.
