Ramen Egg Foo Young

August 9, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

Ramen Egg Foo Young.  Quick, tasty and inexpensive–what more could you ask for in a recipe? Eggs are such a good protein, and so affordable compared to meat these days.  I buy 2 dozen fresh eggs from a local farmer each week and am always looking for good recipes, especially non breakfast recipes, to use them up. … Keep Reading

Egg Drop Soup

March 14, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

There are times in life when you just need a quick, easy, tasty and meatless meal.  Lent is one of those times, and Walmart asked the Walmart Moms to share a meatless meal that can be enjoyed in this season.  I’m sharing my recipe for homemade Egg Drop Soup.

I’m not really sure if you’d call this a recipe or more of a technique.  On Christmas morning I decided I needed to get a bit of protein in folks since we’d been noshing on chocolate, cinnamon buns, and coffee all morning. I remembered a recipe I had seen years ago in a woman’s magazine–one… Keep Reading

Welcome to the premier week of the Frugal Food Series. We are starting the Frugal Food series with EGGS!

Best Of-Let’s Quiche!

June 9, 2008 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 9 Comments

Quiche is classy, tasty and economical. It can be eaten warm or at room temp, and it freezes very well either as an entire quiche or in individual serving sizes. And you can make it with pretty much whatever you have in your fridge. So what are you waiting for? Let’s Quiche! I use the… Keep Reading
