How often do you toss leftover crumbs, whether they are in the bread bag, cake or dessert leftovers or something else? Which if us hasn’t cringed at throwing away that last piece of cake? You can usually use these leftovers for something else, saving money and often adding something special to another food item! Try these tips for using leftover crumbs:
Leftover cookie crumbs – use leftover in place of graham cracker crumbs when making a graham cracker crust.
Leftover bread crumbs – save in a bag in the freezer. When you have enough, toss leftover crumbs with oil and seasoning. Toast until golden brown. Use in place of Parmesan cheese or us in stuffing, casseroles or bread pudding (without the oil and seasonings)
Save and use cake crumbs, cookie crumbs and brownie crumbs as a ice cream topping
Use cereal leftover crumbs for topping on muffins, yogurt, pudding, oatmeal, fresh fruit or use 2 cups with 1/2 cup margarine and your favorite herb, broil on a flat pan until browned. Use on top of hot vegetables, macaroni and cheese or casseroles. Store unused portion in an airtight jar.

Glorified Beans and Franks
Glorified Beans and Franks – Delicious Hot Dogs
I come across some of the best sounding recipes but there are so many I can’t always get them all tested. Here’s one that not only sounds good but easy to prepare, so I am going to give it to you all to try.
This is one of those recipes you could make the day before you need it and let the spices “meld”. Then you would have it all ready to just warm up the next day for dinner.
Let me know if you do like it!
Thanks, Jill
Tips for Hot Dogs
- Try slicing your hot dogs lengthwise and frying in a pan, browning on both sides. Oh Yum.
- I slice hot dogs into a frying pan and brown slightly; then pour in eggs on top of them and scramble. Too yummy!
- This might also be good with your favorite cornbread batter poured on top of it before you bake it.
- Try adding a little cooked sausage to your beans for an “oh so good” taste.
Glorified Beans and Franks
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 cup onion, chopped
6 hot dogs, sliced
1 (28oz.) can of baked beans with pork
1 cup applesauce
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
Cook onions in oil until brown. Add hot dogs and brown. Transfer them to a 2 quart greased casserole dish and stir in all the rest of the ingredients but the cheese. Sprinkle cheese on top.
Bake uncovered at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.

Slow Cooked Ham Recipe
Slow Cooked Ham Recipe
1 ham
Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Bake ham at 250° for 1 hour. Reduce the heat to 175° and roast another 12-15 hours. This is great because you can put in the oven overnight and it will be ready the next day for the noon meal. The cooking time can go for longer if needed to fit your schedule since it is at such a low temperature.

Meatballs And Mushroom Gravy Recipe
This meatball recipe was submitted by Roxie in Texas
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup bread crumbs (dry)
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Mix all ingredients together and form into small balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. (I form mine in a teaspoon.) Bake at 400 degrees for 10 -13 minutes. This makes about 40 meatballs.
Once the meatballs are finished baking, add the mushroom gravy as follows:
Mushroom Gravy
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can full of milk
1 small can mushrooms, chopped (optional)
Whisk soup and milk together and pour over the cooked meatballs. Bake for about an hour at 300 degrees. Serve over mashed potatoes.
I have also made this with cheddar cheese soup. It’s just as good, but it makes a different taste.
