Perfect timing for a wet Memorial Day weekend in the Pacific Northwest! Get 2 weeks of Hulu Plus for FREE if you sign-up this weekend!

Hulu Plus is Hulu’s premium streaming service and offers full current seasons and a deep library of back seasons of hit TV shows from ABC, BET, Comedy Central FOX, NBC, MTV, VH-1 and more, in high definition (Hulu streams in standard definition and only has the past 5 episodes, so you can’t watch an entire season or series).

Here are a few TV series that are available on Hulu Plus:

• Downtown Abbey (seasons 1-2)
• 1600 Penn (my current obsession)
• The Office
• House
• Psych
• Parks & Rec
• Community
• 30 Rock (web only)
• Tons more shows!

There is an excellent assortment of kids TV shows, including tons from PBS Kids, older shows like Arrested Development, The Cosby Show, The A Team, and I Love Lucy, and reality shows. Hulu Plus has also recently added One Life to Live and All My Children to their lineup (new episodes are streamed daily on Hulu Plus).

This is the perfect weekend to try out Hulu Plus to see if you can ditch your current cable provider! I signed up for the regular free trial (which is only one week) to watch seasons 1 and 2 of Downton Abbey a few months ago and loved the service so much we kept it! We now watch all our favorite shows on Hulu Plus and absolutely love it!

Your account will not be charged if you cancel before your two-week trial expires.

Just a reminder that this great baby wipes deal is still available and is cheaper than Costco. Sorry, hot dogs not included…

We are dangerously close to running out of wipes, so this deal came at the perfect time! Amazon has Huggies Simply Clean Fragrance Free Baby Wipes for just 1.7 cents per wipe shipped if you’re an Amazon Mom member (2.1 cents per wipe if you’re not). Great deal either way. Here’s how to do the deal:

:: Go to the Huggies Simply Clean Fragrance Free Baby Wipes Refill (600 ct) page and click the $1 off coupon right under the product description.

:: Add the Huggies Simply Clean Fragrance Free Baby Wipes Refill (600 ct) to your cart by clicking the “Subscribe & Save” button instead of the “One time delivery” button. You will receive 20% off plus FREE shipping with “Subscribe & Save” if you’re an Amazon Mom member (5% if you’re not). I always choose the 6 month option:

:: Once you’ve enrolled in the Subscribe & Save program, you will receive automatic shipments of that product from Amazon at intervals you set. You are under no obligation to continue your subscription once your initial order ships and you can easily cancel through the “Manage” option in “Your Account.”

You will pay $10.69 for 600 wipes, which is just 1.7 cents per wipe shipped (and you don’t have to leave your home)!

The s’mores deal for $5 Friday at Safeway is by far the best deal on s’mores we saw last year. This year will probably be the same. Last year we saw the deal twice, but this could be the only one, so if you can practice self control (unlike me) then you might want to stock up for the summer.

I stopped by my local Grocery Outlet this week to scope out some deals for all of you, and I decided to look specifically for deals on lunch-y items. I don’t know about you, but I am quickly running out of making-school-lunch steam and need some easy-to-pack food. Here’s to summer vacation!

The important thing to remember when shopping the Grocery Outlet is that their stock and prices continually change based on what deals they can get from manufacturers, so you will encounter a slightly different store each time you shop. When you spot a deal that you’re excited about, that’s the time to stock-up! There’s no guarantee that the item will be there the next time you shop.

Side note: The Grocery Outlet cannot accept manufacturer’s coupons.

Here are a few examples of the great deals I found at the Gresham Grocery Outlet. Please note that your local store may or may not carry the same products or have the same prices.

Hillshire Deli-Sliced Turkey Breast (8 oz) on sale $.79
*Deli meat freezes well!

Jif Mocha Cappuccino Hazelnut Spread (14.1 oz) on sale $1.99
*This is very similar to Nutella, and about half the price!

Quaker Popped Chocolate Snacks on sale $1.29

Plum Organics Mashups Sqeezeable Fruit (4 pk) on sale $1.99
*These work as baby food as well. I realize the excess packaging is ridiculous, but you can’t deny the lack of mess.

YoCrunch Yogurt & Applesauce (4 pk) on sale $1.99

Odwalla Bars (6 pk) on sale $1.99
*These are typically $.99 each at the regular grocery store.

Keebler Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (8 pk) on sale $1.29

And what kid doesn’t want some cookies in their lunch?

Immaculate Baking Cookie Dough (12-24 cookies) on sale $1.49
*My store had several varieties, including this gluten-free one. The others contained gluten.

Pillsbury Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix on sale $.33
*This was a big mark-down, so don’t be surprised if your store doesn’t have it.

This is the first part in an occasional series that will tackle some of the most common questions about No-Knead Bread in greater detail (Check out our FAQ section for basic answers). With over 800 comments, you have asked about everything from shaping to baking to gluten-free options. Let’s get to work!

Today’s topic: What do I do with leftover bread that has dried out?
One answer: Make your own breadcrumbs!

Over the past two years, I have been slowly working my way through my pantry, replacing processed, packaged food items for homemade alternatives.

Bread crumbs were high on the hit list. After all, I was paying five bucks at New Seasons in exchange for breadcrumbs! Something was clearly wrong with this picture. I started making my own to use in our very favorite Raw Tuscan Kale Salad and Quinoa Patties, along with good ol’ standards like breading or meatloaf. You can even spread a thin layer of fine breadcrumbs on the bottom crust of pies before adding the fruit. It keeps the crust from getting soggy and the pie from getting runny; you won’t even notice the crumbs are in there.

Homemade breadcrumbs are about as easy as it gets. And they are a huge improvement over the store bought version, which either cost too much or taste like a cross between sand and bread. Or have a ridiculously long ingredient list. Seriously? They are breadcrumbs. Let’s keep this cheap and simple.

No-Knead Bread tastes best the first few days after baking because it doesn’t contain any fats, like oil or butter, to keep it soft. After day three, it makes great toast, croutons, French toast, or breadcrumbs. I love having fresh homemade bread for a few days, then using every last bit up for other things.

And if you haven’t made this bread yet? It’s time to try it out; you can do it! We have received hundreds of comments from amateur bakers who have had success with this method. It’s your turn!

You can make breadcrumbs with any dried out, leftover bread. This is great use for that discounted day-old bread you can find in most grocery stores!

Ok, let’s make breadcrumbs. It’s about as hard as it sounds. Take any bread, turn it into crumbs, dry them out. Done.

First of all, take your leftover, slightly dried out bread and break it into medium-sized pieces, about 1-2″. Place it into a food processor or blender in small batches and pulse until you have small breadcrumbs.

Many techniques call for drying out the bread before you pulse it into crumbs. While this works, it also sounds like you are shaking a metal container full of marbles. Crazy loud. I prefer pulsing the bread first.

Next, spread the bread crumbs out in a thin, even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in a pre-heated 300-degree oven. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until bread crumbs are slightly toasted and completely dry.

Remove from the oven and let the breadcrumbs cool completely. Add spices or seasonings, if desired. Transfer to a storage bag or container. Store in the pantry or freezer.

Homemade Breadcrumbs

Dry, leftover bread

1. Preheat the oven to 300-degrees.
2. Break the bread into medium-sized pieces, about 1-2″. Place it into a food processor or blender in small batches and pulse until you have small breadcrumbs.
3. Spread the bread crumbs out in a thin, even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the oven. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until bread crumbs are slightly toasted and completely dry. You could also turn the oven off, and let the crumbs dry out completely in the oven.
4. Remove from the oven and let the breadcrumbs cool completely. Add spices or seasonings, if desired. Transfer to a storage bag or container. Store in the pantry or freezer.
