Breakfast for the Whole Family Under $1 a Head

📘 Brenda Cooks: 162 recipes for every kind of week your kitchen goes through https://brendacooks.com/ There's a box of cereal on your counter that cost six dollars, and it'll be gone by Thursday. Breakfast is supposed to be the cheap meal. Flour, oats, eggs and cornmeal are about the cheapest food in the whole store, and somewhere along the way somebody puffed them up, put them in a box with a cartoon on it, and built the most expensive aisle in the grocery store around them. Our grandmothers fed a whole table for pennies. In this one I'll walk you through 7 ways to feed the whole family breakfast for under $1 a head, with real prices off my last receipt: 🥣 Oatmeal from the big canister instead of the packets, and plain eggs and toast 🥞 Pancakes from scratch, your own pancake mix in a jar, and syrup for thirty-five cents 🍳 Biscuits and milk gravy the old way, and a pan of baked oatmeal for three busy mornings 🍞 French toast from the bread nobody wanted, and stale bread is better for it …and number one, the dime-a-plate breakfast my grandmother would've been embarrassed to serve company. It's the best one. You're not paying for food in the cereal aisle. You're paying for the box. Make one swap this week and see. If cooking well on very little sounds good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 💛 What did breakfast look like at your house growing up?
