Well guys I thought I’d try yet another new feature here on the site. I thought I’d show you how to take the Publix Super Deals and turn them into Publix Super Meals!

So many of you guys email and comment that you love the menu plan I share each week but want more meals that match up with the actual ad. So…I have decided that I’d try my hand a offering up a recipe each week using the sale items at Publix.

I am going to try to have the recipe serve 4 or more with a cost of $10 or less. It might take some creativity but I’m going to give it a shot 😀

This week I have a very easy and delicious recipe that is super versatile and can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Check out my recipe for Hash Brown Egg Nests.

Another perk is that you will have plenty of leftover ingredients to use on other recipes making this dish even more economical.

I was able to pull all the ingredients from items I had on hand – meaning this was ZERO out of pocket for me! What’s great about this recipe is that you can customize it based on your preferences. Maybe use some of the super cheap ham from last week with broccoli and swiss. Try leftover grilled chicken with spinach and feta. The options are endless. Think about what you would like in an omelet and whip this one up.

Let me know what you think about this recipe and the new feature. Hopefully it comes in handy for you guys!
