Homemade Hamburger Buns




There are just some days I don't want to eat a salad and chicken. Last night I made just about the best comfort food E.V.E.R. Hamburger and fries, all homemade. YUM!!

Sometime last week I found this recipe for Awesome Hamburger Buns. They looked easy enough and I am still in the process of refining my bread box recipes, so I thought, Hey I'll give them a shot! Boy am I glad I did!

This is before baking.

My only change of the original recipe was I sprinkle basil and salt on top along with the dried onions.

This is when I pulled them out of the oven. As you can see I couldn't take a picture before Chevy Man stole one! They smelled THAT good haha!


I also found a new fry recipe. If you know me, you know there is nothing I love more than a really good fry and savory bread (Well, in this case buns!) These two went great together! You can find the fry recipe at Keep It Simple.

So this was dinner tonight. Very filling, Very comforting, and VERY yummy!

    Good Morning Debbie! Thanks for asking about my starter! Actually today will be a 2 post day. I am making bread from the starter in a few hours. You have to feed it a 8-12 hours before you can make bread. But as soon as it comes out of the oven I'll be back to post. I am crossing my fingers and toes that it is good :)

    Yum! I am hoping to start perfecting my bread-baking technique soon! Yeast and I are not the best of friends, so it should be interesting. One of our favorite meals are burgers, oven fries and coleslaw, but I always buy my buns when 8 packs are on sale $10/10.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog -- I'm liking yours too and plan to keep coming back for more frugal tips!

    Those buns look delicious! I must know, what are dipping your fries into? Is that salad dressing?

    It is fry sauce. I think its regional to Idaho and Utah. It is half mayo and half ketchup mixed together. It is just about the best dip ever! Try and let me know what you think, its addicting!

    Those look absolutely fantastic! Do you think egg replacer can be used instead?
    Happy New Friend Friday!

Why are you frugal?

Frugality has always been in my life. I spent my summers as a child with my grandma in a very very small town about 150 miles away from where I lived the rest of the year. My grandpa is/was a farmer, had cows, and a diesel mechanic. My grandma was a farmer’s wife. I learned how to garden, sew, cook, move pipe, change oil, and learned how to drive on a tractor. At home during the school year none of these tasks were put to use. We lived in a suburb of a city with nearly 50,000 people, we didn’t have a garden, we had a dishwasher, etc. So at the end of the school year I was ecstatic to get to go my grandma’s house! I loved being there; I loved the fruits of my labor there. I felt as though I had a purpose. Fast forward to 5 years ago. I graduated high school, moved to Phoenix, got into a heap of money issues, wanted everything in sight, forgot everything my grandma ever taught me and then I moved back to Idaho. About a year and a half later I came to the realization that something had to...

Is your mom hard to buy for? Seriously, I can never decide what to get my mom. She just moved and doesn't have her new house decorated completely yet. She has been trying to find something for her dinning room wall for a few months. So my sister and I brainstormed and came up with this. Supplies 5 frames -$5 primer -$2.97 (on hand) I did use the whole can. black spray paint -$.97 (on hand) burlap -$2.47/yard (on hand) You'll need a little less than a yard, but that depends on how many letters you choose. paper -on hand x-acto knife -on hand- But, they have these right now at my Honk's dollar store. Hot glue -on hand Total $8.44 and up I forgot to take a picture of the frames before but they are the ones at Dollar Tree. 11x14.. and red. I primed (3 times) and painted them black. All with spray paint, I even used the 97 cent walmart black :) We started out by picking the word we wanted. Printed it out until we found the size and font that fit. We came up with this. Then my si...
