I found myself with pancakes on the menu but several ingredients that I wanted to use up. We came up with a frugal-gourmet breakfast that was picture worthy.
I made pancakes from scratch adding in some oats, and OJ that needed to be used up.
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup rolled oats
2 Tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup OJ
4 Tablespoons cooking oil
I also found that I had some strawberries that had a life span of about 30 seconds and way, way in the back of the fridge.....a can of whipped cream.
Jackpot!
That left us with fiber filled pancakes with a hint of orange topped with berries and cream.
Frugality ain't just beans and rice folks!

Those sound yummy! Might have to give them a try.
sounds yummy! I agree that frugality is not just beans & rice! :)
I had some bran cereal and fresh cherries that needed to be used up so I made up some cherry-apple bran muffins today! My kids who wouldn't even think about eating fresh cherries wanted to gobble up these muffins! You can find the recipe here
I am all about using what you have. Good job!
Really hating the fact that I'm dieting right now, these sound and look amazing!
That's one of the things I love about your blog - that you make all these super yummy sounding things and on that very little little budget! I'm inspired. :-)
Nice...Never would have occured to me to use the OJ in the pancakes...NEVER! Sounds delish....
These look delicious. I'm particularly fond of soon-to-be-overripe strawberries that are one nanosecond from going to the dark side (almost as if they're starting to ferment...as long as there isn't any mold). Thanks for the recipe!

I love this! I find that the more frugal I get...the more creative I get...the more gourmet it SEEMS! Good job!
