Tupperware Modular Mates! SALE!!

Tupperware Modular Mates! 

Ok, I love a great sale! Tupperware is offering up my favorite modular mates for a limited time! These happen to be the first pieces of Tupperware I actually bought when I was in Alaska! WOO HOO Tupperware Party! 

The Modular Mate Super Ovals are so sleek & fit your pantry shelf. I personally invested in the flip top lid & use them for our cereal. With 4 yr old twins, you never know if Grace will want her Fruit Loops or Josey will want Daddy's cereal (Golden Grahams). I know when I need to go to the store & stock back up! I also have them stocked with the different pastas I pick up on sale and rice. Oh, and protein shake mix, and oatmeal, and dry milk... Ok, I love them, I use them, a lot! 

Super Ovals come in 5 sizes - and your choice of red or black lids

1 - 3 1/2c

2 - 7 1/2c

3 - 11 3/4c

4 - 16 1/2c

5 - 20 1/3c 

The Modular Mate Rectangles are also a favorite! I have one filled with first aid supplies (perfect for under the van seat, one with the granola bars and peanut butter crackers from Sam's Club, and Legos, lots of Legos! They do come in 4 sizes. 

1 - 8 1/2c

2 - 18c

3 - 27 1/2c

4 - 37c

You will want to get the size 1 - it is perfect for those pesky Oreos... but purchase 2 of them... One is for the pantry Oreos, and the second is for Mommy's Oreos (hiding place will not be mentioned!). I also use the #4 for my flour. I love to bake so I am constantly buying flour in bulk. 

Did you know that the US military will only allow Tupperware to be used when relocating the families? That is because of the seal which will not allow any bugs, critters or whatever to get into the food. 

I do have a great guideline for your modular mates & how much they hold so you can email me at homemadebybillie@gmail.com & just ask! 

Want more great deals? How about our matching seasoning containers? Purchase the large set (each are 1c capacity) and get the small set (1/2c capacity) for FREE!

Tupperware Trio! 

It is back to school time - you need breakfast, lunch & dinner fast! Why not try our Tupperware Trio - it is the breakfast maker, the mini rice cooker & pasta maker for just $35!! That is a savings of $31! 

Breakfast maker:

Do you love omelets? Egg sandwiches? Egg cordon bleu? These are my favorite foods to cook in my breakfast maker. 2 eggs, dash of water & 2 minutes in the microwave! Since my son is an egg fanatic, this is a quick way to make his breakfast. Perfect for the college dorm room or small apartment.

Here is a quick youtube video showing just how easy it is! 

http://youtu.be/EhW6_B_eWmQ

Mini Rice Cooker:

This is perfect for the single serving of rice! Why make a huge batch of rice that will just get tossed when you can make the perfect amount! I remember having rice and raisins as a child. Just add a handful of raisins when you are cooking your rice, add some milk & sugar & voila, you have an easy tasty treat! 

Pasta Maker:

This is the product I use almost as much as I use the SmartSteamer! WHY? Well, why wait for water to boil over, just to have it boil over & then be overcooked? The pasta maker is so simple. Add pasta (up to a pound), then add water, I personally use a handful of table salt also to season the pasta (try it, you might like it!). Place in the microwave without the lid. 9 minutes for elbow macaroni, or 14 min for your bow tie or other specialty pasta. BEEP BEEP goes the microwave, remove from microwave & cover with lid for easy safe water draining! 

Here is a video for the pasta maker!

Granola

Homeade Granola Bars

Ingredients:

3 cups quick-cooking oats

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 cup flaked coconut(I used sweetened)

1 cup sliced almonds

1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup flax seed

1/4 cup wheat germ


Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sweetened condensed milk, butter, coconut, almonds, chocolate chips, flax seed and wheat germ) with your hands until well blended. Press flat into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, depending on how crunchy you want them(I took mine out at 20 minutes so they would be nice and chewy, not crunchy). Lightly browned just around the edges will give you moist, chewy bars. Let cool for 5 minutes, cut into squares then let cool completely before serving.

DIY Instant Maple Oatmeal & Organizing a Lazy Susan

Happy Rainy Day - we have storms rolling thru as I write this up. I got up early to make more instant oatmeal - a staple for Gracie's breakfast. Josey is my breakfast burrito baby, Gracie will eat anything! :D

Of course, I found this recipe on Pinterest thru a friend of mine, Doris. I have adjusted it - alot to make it just right... If you want the original recipe, click here. This site has a TON of great DIY mixes.

The original recipe was too sweet - horribly sweet for my taste, Cooper's taste & Gracie's taste.

So, here is my version -

2 c quick oats, ground finely
2 c quick oats, whole
1/3-1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 TB maple flavoring
2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg.
Combine brown sugar, flavoring, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg. Stir to combine well. Add in oats & ground oats. Place in your airtight Tupperware Modular Mate (mine is a super oval #2 & stays in my lazy susan)
To prepare: 2/3c oatmeal mix in bowl & add hot water til you get desired consistency. I personally make this easy for my husband & use 1 part oatmeal mix to 2 parts milk & microwave 2 min. Caution - it will be hot.


So, my whole reason to get into Tupperware was to get rid of my sad-ware & have a better organized pantry. I have slowly started picking up the modular mates for my pasta, for my oatmeal, & other large items that I want to stack & store.

Here is a pic of my lazy susan - not yet organized.

And here is a pic of me working on organization - we have quick oats, rice & chocolate chips. I buy the large bag of chocolate chips from Sam's Club, just in case there is ever a shortage. I like to be prepared! My husband thinks they are for cookies. He hasn't caught on that I haven't made chocolate chip cookies in a LONG time.

I do cut off the instructions from the box & tape to the lid or leave the rice sack in the container, just in case. I have also used these Modular Mates for my couscous (purchased several boxes cheap at Aldi's), have I posted that recipe yet? I need to, Josey loves his couscous.

The brilliant blue lid size is the super oval. The middle is the oval & the square is the square modular mate. I still have some work to do in my pantry, but we are getting there.

TOH Hash Brown Quiche

Taste of Home's Hash Brown Quiche

With my best friend & her 3 boys, I need a meal - a real meal to feed everyone. Yesterday morning was my fav refrigerator waffles. There were 3 waffle sticks left. So, I was up early with Tye, age 9, this morning searching for a recipe with the ingredients I had on hand (we ran out of syrup).

This is a recipe from Taste of Home's 1994 Recipe Book

Yea, it is old - but I still go to it, often!

Hash Brown Quiche - not quickie since it takes an hour + to make... hee hee

3 c frozen loose pack shredded hash browns, thawed (I used real potatoes, I needed to use them up)
1/3 c butter, melted
1 c diced fully cooked ham
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 c diced green pepper
2 eggs
1/2 c milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Press hash browns between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Press into the bottom & up the sides of an ungreased 9" pie plate or I used an 11x7 pan. Drizzle w/ butter. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 min.
Combine the ham, cheese & peppers. Spoon over crust.
In small bowl, beat eggs, milk & s/p. Pour over all. Reduce heat to 350 degrees & bake 25-30 min till center comes out clean. Allow to stand for 10 min before cutting.

I will be making these more often - prolly even for Cooper to take tailgating this fall.

Happy weekend!

Bean Pot Burger, Breakfast Burritos, & Honey Garlic Pork Ribs

I have mentioned some of the wonderful things you can do w/ your bean pot. I could not ever go back to browning hamburger on the stove after I have done it in the bean pot. Why - the burger tends to break easier to smaller pieces, no large chunks, plus there is no chasing the burger around a skillet w/ little pieces flying out.

This is what I started w/ - 3 one pound packages of burger, 3 "pods" of frozen onions, & a bunch of grated carrots. By cooking multiple packages, it takes a bit longer than the 6 minutes per pound. But so worth it!! Why the carrots? Adds bulk, adds veggies that aren't going to be quite so obvious for the picky eater... Why Not?

Here is the outcome....

You will see there is some liquid in there. That is because of the lid being on, trapping any moisture from the onions (I freeze them w/ a little bit water to keep the grated onions together). Just use a slotted spoon to scoop into a ziploc bag. If you were going to continue using the burger in the bean pot, you can easily use a turkey baster to pull any grease or liquid off the meat.

Voila - that is why you need a bean pot!

Next UP...

Breakfast burrito mix....

This is not a true recipe - I just toss stuff in. You can find a recipe on pinterest if you really want one.
My version is this -

Brown a pound of breakfast sausage. Place in large bowl.

Add some extra olive oil to that sausage grease & fry up some hash browns. I used about 2 lbs, but that is what I had left in the bag from the previous batch. Scoop into large bowl w/ sausage.

I had some sliced ham that I put into the Ninja & essentially minced. Add to skillet.

Eggs- I used up the whole carton of eggs because we go thru alot of eggs in this house. I blend them up in my ninja food processor - the old one, not the new version you find at Sam's Club. Cook them up in the same skillet, with the ham. Add to the large bowl.

When all is in the large bowl, add some salt & pepper. Then add at least 2 c of grated cheddar cheese. I used prolly 3 cups - whatever fell out of the bag! I am technical like that.

So you have this huge bowl of yummy goodness -

I use a scoop & put into my Beaba multipurpose freezer trays - which are 1/3 c pods that I use ALL the time. Just ask my husband. I got them for baby food. They were the perfect size to freeze up individual portions of bananas & avacados, applesauce, mashed potatoes w/ carrots & parsnips... Now I use them for soups, grated onions, chicken broth, strawberries - whatever I want to save.

How cool is that? I pull one out each morning for Josey as he is my egg boy.

And now the big finally - Sorry, no pics on this one

Honey Garlic Pork Ribs (I used pork steak & cut the recipe in half)
Which you can do this in the bean pot if you are using a smaller portion

4 lbs pork spare ribs
1 c honey
1 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c soy sauce
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t ground ginger
1 tsp ground mustard

1) cut ribs into serving size; place in a large ziploc. Combine the remaining ingredients, pour half the marinade over the ribs.

2) Seal bag & turn to coat. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, turning occassionally. Cover & refrigerate remaining marinade. Drain & discard marinade from ribs.

3) Place ribs on a rack in a greased shallow baking dish. Cover & bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr. Drain. Pour remaining marinade over ribs. Bake, uncovered, for 30-45 min or until meat is tender, brushing occasionally w/ pan juices. Since I used pork steak, I cut the cooking time to just 1 hr.

Ice Cream, Blueberry Muffins & Cherry Limeades!!

My aunt gave me the Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook years ago - (it says published 1999). I have used it for everything - fresh pasta, my blueberry streusel muffins, and Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream.

The kids are having an after lunch biscuit snack (at 1145am) & watching Puppy Named Scooby Doo so I am working on my recipes. The heat is getting to all of us - so hard to not be able to play outside after 9am in the mornings & not till after 7pm at night. 

Cooper & I made our first batch of this on Father's Day ~ and we haven't given his dad back the ice cream maker yet. Cooper also justified the price of ice cream vs the price of ingredients to make ice cream, so we are making it about every couple of weeks. 

Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream

6 egg yolks, lightly beaten (save the whites & freeze them in your Beaba freezer pod thingy)
2 1/3 c sugar
4 c milk
5 c half & half
1/4 tsp salt
2 TB vanilla

Combine first 3 ingredients in a large saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, 25-30 min (it takes me over an hour... any tips on why???) Cook till thickened & coats a spoon. Cover & chill at least 4 hours.

Stir in half & half, salt & vanilla; pour into freezer container of 4-5 qt ice cream freezer. Freeze according to mfr directions.

Since I am in this cookbook, I will toss in the Blueberry Streusel Muffin recipe:

Blueberry Streusel Muffins:
1 3/4c flour
2 3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp grated lemon
1 lg egg lightly beaten
3/4 c milk
 1/3 c veg oil
1 cup fresh or frozen bluberries, thawed (ever by they on sale fresh at sam's club & then freeze on a cookie sheet? Fresh blueberries anytime!)
1 Tb flour
1 Tb sugar
1/4 c sugar
2 1/2 Tb flour
1/2 t cinnamon
1 1/2 TB butter

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine egg, milk & oil; stir well. Add to dry ingredients, stirring till just moistened.

Combine blueberries, 1 Tb flour, & 1 Tb sugar, tossing gently to coat.. Fold blueberry mixture into batter. Spoon batter into greased muffin pans; filling 2/3 full.

Combine 1/4 c sugar, 2 1/2 TB flour & cinnamon. Cut in butter w/ a pastry blender until mixture is crubmly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes or till golden. Remove from pans immediately

Yield 1 dozen.
Per muffin - calories 219, fat 8.9 g; chol 24 mg; sodium 266 mg

For Jumbo muffins - bake 20 min. 




Cherry Limeade
1 16 ounce jar maraschino cherries
(You won't use all, this is probably enough
for 2 batches of cherry limeade.)
1 12 ounce can Frozen Limeade, thawed
1 2-Liter Bottle of Diet Sprite
3 limes (save 1 for garnish)

Combine the frozen limeade and Diet Sprite in Beverage server. Juice 2 limes and add juice and rind. Add about 1/2 of the juice from the jar of cherries, reserving the cherries for garnish. Taste and add more juice to desired sweetness. You can always add more juice to the server to make it sweeter for someone who doesn't like it as tart.
Serve over crushed ice and garnish with lime slices and cherries...........

Sweet Sloppy Joes, plus bonus Refrigerator Waffle recipe...

Why a Blog? Because - I have so many friends & family that love my recipe & have email folders with them clogging up their computer. Therefore, this way I can post my recipes - whether for a bean pot or not, and they just have to come to my blogspot & find their recipe. I even have trouble finding my recipes - I have been posting them since the kids were 9 months old... That is alot of food ya know! So, go ahead & join the group to make sure you get all my recipes.

Here is one of my favs,

Sweet Sloppy Joes in a Bean Pot

Adapted from Southern Living Cookbook

1 1/2 lbs ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

1 small green pepper, chopped

1 10 3/4 oz can tomato soup, undiluted

1 8 oz can tomato sauce

1 c ketchup

2 tb brown sugar

1 tb worcetershire sauce

1 tsp prepared mustard

1/8 tsp garlic powder

Brown burger, onions & green peppers in stack cooker in microwave, approx 8 minutes, stopping halfway thru to break up meat. Stir in soup and next 6 ingredients; Cook in microwave another 6 minutes, stirring halfway thru. 

My version-  I used venison (which means no draining grease), no onions or gr pepper. I didn't have tomato soup, so I used the larger can of tomato sauce w/ some tomato basil 

soup seasoning. This was great!

I love these waffles - I can use whole wheat flour in them. I can refrigerate the batter for up to a week, and my kids love them! I am a firm believer that all pancakes & waffles should have vanilla & cinnamon in them.

I have a couple sets of the Williams Sonoma pancake molds, at Christmas I decided I needed their pancake pencil - this contraption is a bottle w/ a lid & I can easily pour out my batter where it needs to go on the waffle iron or make shapes if I am making a batch of pancakes (the kids love silver dollar pancakes). With that said, I make up a batch of waffle batter & we have waffles for the week. Waffles are great snack foods in my house. We all munch on them all day long, cause even cold, they are yummy. After I bought the pancake pencil, I found on Pinterest you can repurpose a ketchup bottle into your pancake batter bottle - duh!

Refrigerated Waffle Batter

2 eggs

1 3/4 c milk

1/2 c veg oil

1 TB sugar

4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla

splash of cinnamon

2 c flour

Beat eggs till fluffy, add in remaining ingredients. Spray waffle iron w/ non stick spray. Cook till golden brown.

Store in refrigerator for up to a week. I have a simple waffle iron for short flat waffles. My bestie - Angela, has a Belgian waffle maker. It was really good in her maker. We both got the Babycakes Waffle Stick maker & with this batter, to get a crisp waffle, you need to let it cook a bit longer. They tend to be floppy, not that it matters to my kids! :D 

Well, off to get ready for breakfast. Waffles do sound good, but we are going out of town for a couple days so I need to use up some things in the frig. Sounds like a bacon & biscuit kinda morning - with eggs from my petites casseroles! :D 

Have a great weekend - see you next week!

Bean Pot Egg Casserole

Today is a holiday - a day of rest, right. Nope, not here. I haven't told Cooper that either! His parents are coming over for breakfast (mainly so his dad can help us move our hutch), then I am making the Texas Sheet cake (see brownie mix recipe posted a while back), and need to finish working up peaches - didn't get that done yesterday, and then relax for some fireworks tonight. So, lazy day at the Snyders! ha ha


My friend Sara & her friends made this amazing Egg Casserole on Saturday at our Vineyards Crop. I almost died it was so yummy! I begged her to post it on my Homemade By Billie FB page so I could share it with the world. I will be making this for breakfast. Instead of fajita mix, I will be adding fresh zuc, maybe some squash, and a green pepper, all from our garden. 


I will be making some biscuits too - the frozen Pillsbury kind cause they are the best - just so we can eat some jam. 


Sara's Egg Casserole!


Okay, so here is the recipe for the breakfast casserole. I used a combo of a couple I found online. And of course it can be adapted to whatever your personal preference of that of your family is for omelet ingredients. I will pretty much list what we put in the one for the crop!

6 eggs
2 cups milk - I prefer less.
2 slices of bread, cubed/torn/crumbled/ninja'd (food processor)
breakfast meat, browned and drained (recipe called for sausage, which I am not a fan of, so I used ham. It also calls for a pound, I did not use this much either time I have made this)
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 bag fajita mix, browned or sweated
1 can mushrooms, browned or sweated
Combine and stir all ingredients in the bean pot
Microwave for 15 minutes or until eggs are done.

First time I made it, I sweated the fajita mix and mushrooms in the bean pot in microwave and then drained them. I mixed eggs and milk together in bean pot to get nice and whipped and frothy and then added back in the meat, veggies and mushrooms. Then added the cheese and cooked in microwave. First time I didn't cook the meat first and did have some liquid come out around the eggs, so I do recommend cooking the add in ingredients first. This can really be adapted to whatever you like. It comes out like an omelet, but all cooked at once so your family can all eat together. I also have made it with more eggs so that it would feed more people. Enjoy!!!!


Needless to say we will eat good this morning. Josey LOVES his eggs - not as much as he loves bacon. Last night I tried to tell him his pork chop was a hot dog. He didn't believe me. I am hoping he just wants to say hot dog because he can say it, not that he is getting ready to go on a hot dog binge... 


Well, time to mix things up in the bean pot. I will use my ninja to mince up the ham & then use it to beat up the eggs. Saves time. I love my ninja food processor- and it is the old style - not the kind you see today. Cooper knows I am trying to kill my ninja so I can get a blendtec... 


Happy 4th in case I don't post more today!
