Budget Bytes I am so in love with this cooking blog.
This looks great! I think this might be the push I need to make soft pretzels.
TPS, if you have leftover creamed spinach, you can beat in an egg or two and bake it in a buttered dish and you end up with an slightly puffy spinach gratin. Sooooooo good, one of my favorite things to eat. (Or you can mix it with beaten egg yolks, then fold it into whipped egg whites for a decent soufflé, which is very nice indeed.)

I always have a little mental hangup when it comes to these blogs that break down the meals by ingredients per serving because (1) the grocery prices here in Alaska are so much higher than outside, and (2) I've seen so many of them list things like "dash of salt - $0.003" and that seems terribly pretentious and I get all eye-roll-y. I totally get that making food from scratch is cheaper than buying pre-made, but still.
Those raspberry oat bars, however, look soooo yummy.
