Canned Pumpkin at Aldi's

With the holiday season just around the corner, I just wanted to let you know that Aldi has canned pumpkin for .89 each. Canned pumpkin seems to be seasonal, and in the last couple of years trying to find it has been a challenge. This is a good price so you may want to stock up. It is wonderful (and healthy) in chili, pasta and brownies.

Bargain Meal of the Week 9/12/10: Spaghetti a la Philly

It's time for another week of Bargain Meals! Erin over at $5 Dinners (a great read!) is hosting a gathering of bloggers all over the Internet, creating frugal meals straight from the sales circulars of their favorite stores. Check it out for even more inspiration. I contribute every week for the current sales at Publix, which run from Wednesday to the following Tuesday. Keep in mind that you do not need to purchase two of a product to get the buy one get one price. Publix marks down their products to half price for the BOGO deals.

This is a new twist to an old standby!

An Amazing Chocolate Zucchini Quick Bread Recipe!

I am always looking for a great recipe that I can put in healthy ingredients. This recipe ranks up there with Pioneer Woman's Prune Cake. And if you have never tried that, you are missing out. Anyway, I had planned to enter the State Fair's competition for vegetable quick bread and was looking for a good zucchini recipe. So I found this one at allrecipes.com which had a near perfect rating from over 400 users. It is amazing. My picky kids kept going back for more, even after I told them that there was zucchini in it. I made it on Friday for the first time to submit to the State Fair. Guess what? I won third place. Very cool. I just wish I had the recipes for the first and second place quick breads!

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:

2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate (OR 6 tsp of cocoa & 2 tbsp of butter)

3 eggs

2 cups white sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

2 cups grated zucchini

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, oil, grated zucchini, vanilla and chocolate; beat well. Stir in the flour baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.

Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.

I sprinkled some sugar and chocolate chips on the top before baking.

Good Time to Buy Lots of Newspapers!

It has been reported that there will be four inserts in tomorrow's paper. That coupled with Super Doubles starting on Wednesday at Harris Teeter makes it a great time to buy some extra newspapers. Just fyi, usually during a holiday (like last weekend) there are no inserts, but the weekend following the holiday there are usually many inserts (like tomorrow).

For the Locals: Purity Plant Tour

This would be a really great place to take the kids to learn something new and see all the cool industrial equipment! The Purity plant in Nashville, TN offers free tours daily five days a week at 10, 11 and 1. The tour is free. However, you have to make an appointment. To make your appointment call Peggy Gaw at 615-760-2200 (ext. 73314) or 615-244-1900 (ext. 73314).
