I make dog biscuits, pizza dough, and even made my own marinara last week (hence out of tomatoes). I do the 10 day grocery shop and sometimes I can stretch it to 14 days.

It was easy, cheap, and fairly nutritious if I didn't go overboard with syrup! Sourdough bread from the day-old store made the best french toast in those days. Pleasure of saving – that’s very true.

We had tons of leftovers, and I ended up freezing some for easy breakfasts once school starts up again.<br/><br/>I hope it works out well for you!<br/>xox<br/>steph Hi Leah,

thanks for linking to my blog, I’m having a lot of fun with it.

I think you could probably get away with using less eggs. and less bread. We had tons of leftovers, and I ended up freezing some for easy breakfasts once school starts up again.

I hope it works out well for you!
