Tater Tot Casserole

The Tater Tot Casserole is an amazing dish, easy to make, and quite filling, and can be a great way to start your day! The only difference is we are using potatoes instead of tater tots as tater tots are loaded with sodium.

Phase 1. The Ingredients.

7 Medium potatoes
2 Pieces of pork cubed up
BBQ sauce
Apple cider vinegar
Black pepper
A block of cheddar cheese
1 Can of chickpeas
1 Bunch of fresh spinach
1 Can of crushed tomatos
2 Medium onions
1 Red sweet pepper
Dill spice
1 Can of sweet corn
1 Pack of mushrooms
Tajin

Phase 1 – Potato Bath

Cube up the potatos, and soak them in water for 30 minutes, after that rinse them and let them dry.

Phase 2 – Wheres the Beef?

Well there is no beef, its pork, we are using a piece of tender loin, and pork chop, we cut them, and fried them with black pepper apple cider vinegar and some BBQ sauce, let this cool after they are done cooking.

Phase 3 – The Prep

Chop up the spinach, the onions and pepper, and shred the cheese up.

Phase 4 – Making the Casserole

Greese a cassarole dish, and line the bottom with your potatos, they don’t need to be absolutely dry, but should mostly be dry, put some black pepper and dill spice over it, you don’t want to over spice this here.

Put your meat mixture over it, and then sprinkle half of your cheese on top of that.

Now spread your veggie mix and add some tajin and then the rest of your cheese.

Phase 5 – Cooking

Preheat your ovenn to 350 degrees, and bake for 45 minutes.

After that take it out and let it set for 10 minutes!

Homemade English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich

How often do we go to our favorite breakfast or coffee joint for a breakfast sandwich, in Canada we go to Tim Hortons a lot and we enjoy our coffee and our breakfast there, but it gets costly, and often we can do it our selves, and make it better.

You can choose your own meat, your own cheese, and make it taste amazing, and the best part its what you want, and should be cheaper and healtheir!

So lets break it all down.

  1. Cut an English Muffin in half and spread some mayo over it, if you want to make your own mayo mix you can do that, chipolete sauce would work great here!
  2. Heat up your pan and put an egg on it breaking the yolks and cooking it with pepper and salt (lo or no sodium salt if you can.)
  3. Remove from the stove when cooked and the toast the English Muffin over the stove too, and remove it.
  4. Place your Eggs on the bottom part of the English Muffin.
  5. Put some hot sauce, we like Sweet Thai Franks Hot Sauce on ours.
  6. Put some grated cheese over it.
  7. Put a sliced onion over it.
  8. Close it up and serve.

This was easy, simple, quick and cheap, and honestly worth making for your breakfast, and it really levels your cooking up!

Homemade Bread Machine Bread

Start putting the ingredients into your breadmaker.

1 Warm Water
2 tablespoons of white sugar
2 tablespoons of yeast

Let this sit for 10 minutes before moving on to the next step, this is necessary for the yeast to start activating, please do not skip.
(You don’t need the sugar, bread is carbohydrates, so it will break down into sugar soon anyway)

After 10 minutes have passed lets put the rest of the ingredients in.

1/4 Cup of Vegitable oil

3 cups of all pourpose flour, (You can use bread flour if you want.)

A small sprinkle of salt you don’t need a lot of this.

Now that its all in, the key is to use the right setting or it won’t work, so pay attention to this, and it should work fine.

In the end you should have some homemade bread, which should be cheaper and much tastier and you won’t have to worry about all the extra chemicals that usually come with store bought, and if you think about it, the only extra thing you should have to buy is flour, which should last a while and yeast which won’t be a 1 time use thing!

We hope you enjoy!

Breadmaker Raisin Bread

Do you own a breadmaker? If not why not, having one can save you a lot of money from having to buy bread, and honestly its very easy to use, just takes a bit of time, and honestly it tastes better, and has more flavor and honestly one of the best investments you’ll ever make.

This is super easy, you just have to put these ingredients in the order in which I tell you.

First off, you want 1 cup of warm water, make sure its warm not hot.

2 Table spoons of margarine, or butter.

3 Cups of Four.

3 Table spoons of sugar (not that important, I don’t always add even half of that.

4. 1/2 table spoon of salt, I usually just sprinkle a little in, I never add a lot, and even still mine is Lo-Salt, so its very low sodium as it is.

1 Tea spoon of cinnimon, you can actually add more of this if you want.

2 Tablespoons of yeast.

3/4th cup of Raisons.

Set them on what ever setting your breadmaker needs, you may have to look in your instructions or online mine is fruit and nut.

Just let it take its time, and should work fine, and in no time you’ll have some amazing Raisin bread, and if I’m being honest we both absolutely love it!

Blueberry Rhubarb Jam

This is an easy, fast and healthy jam to spread on your toast in the morning, super fun to make and worth every moment it takes to make.

This does not require any pectin as rhubarb makes it own natural pectin, you also don’t need to add water as there will be enough natural juices in it already.

And you can use frozen fruit, it will work perfectly fine!

All you need is a few spoonful’s of brown sugar.

Frozen Blueberries, frozen rhubarb, some lemon juice and cinimon!

Add that all into a tall pot and boil for 30 minutes, just leave it simmer, you can mix it a bit if you want, but thats it, super simple and easy right?

Once its done boiling take it off the heat and give it about 30 minutes or so to cool down before you put it in containers, this will help thicken it up alot.

What do you think, I think it tastes amazing, and has a great taste to it and absolutely one of my favorite jams!
