Recipe: Scotch Eggs

March 20, 2013 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 1 Comment

Scotch eggs are traditional “pub food” in the UK–here I’ve given it a bit of a twist by wrapping mine in crescent rolls and baking them instead of rolling them in breadcrumbs and frying.

Recipe: Overnight Crock Pot Oatmeal

January 14, 2010 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 218 Comments

Cold winter mornings are the worst.  Knowing that I have to crawl out of my nice warm bed into the cold air, stumble down the stairs and get the kiddos ready for school. . . Sometimes I just wish there were a nice, hot breakfast waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. Well,… Keep Reading
