I've been pretty good about finding non-oven dinners to make lately. Whenever I can, I convert a recipe to stove top. And I use my secret weapon to make things crispy crunchy delish:
Every time we finish most of a bag of chips, crackers, or croutons, into this bag it goes, gets beat a little with rolling pin, and stored in the freezer. I can then mix in a little seasoning, maybe some grated cheese, and voila! Delish topping for casseroles, fish, veggies...yum yum. A frugal tip I learned from my mom.

The tip about saving crackers and such for crumbs is a great tip. I do that too with the ends of bread or stale bread that nobody eats. I toast them, then chop them up in my clean coffee grinder. Then I have bread crumbs I keep in the freezer for baking.
Thanks for stopping by Your Cozy Home Party so others can learn about this money saving tip.
