Smoky Spinach Quiche

Light...fluffy...tender...flavorful...piquant...this crustless spinach quiche has all that and foregoes the extra carbs a crust provides. Layer sauteed scallions, smoked goat Gouda and Swiss cheeses, a generous portion of spinach topped with a milk-egg-smoky Spanish paprika-nutmeg custard to hold all these flavors together in a pie plate. Bake until the egg is just set to then top with Romano cheese to then pop it back into the oven to melt this over all. A great dinner to savor...see what you think.

oil

2/3 c. shallots, ribbon cut

1/2 c. each smokey goat Gouda and Swiss cheese, coarse grated

1 - 5 oz. bag spinach, ribbon cut

5 eggs, whisked

1 1/4 c. half and half

1 t. salt

dash nutmeg

dash smoky Spanish paprika

2/3 c. Romano cheese, fine grated

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a pie plate. Saute shallots in oil and transfer to the pie plate. Layer Gouda/Swiss cheeses and spinach. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, nutmeg, and paprika. Pour over spinach covering all layers. Bake 55 min. or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle Romano cheese over all to then pop back into the oven until it's well melted. Serve this along side a crisp green salad or cool cucumber slices.

Wendy’s Meal Deals

Wendy’s Meal Deals: Getting the Best Bang for Your Buck!

When it comes to grabbing a quick and delicious meal on the go, Wendy’s is often a top choice. With its famous square beef patties, fresh ingredients, and a long history of offering great value to customers, Wendy’s continues to be a favorite in the fast-food world. But what really sets Wendy’s apart is its ability to provide tasty meal deals that won’t break the bank.

In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into Wendy’s current meal deals, how to make the most of your money at Wendy’s, and what menu hacks can get you the most satisfying meal. So, whether you're looking for a lunch combo or something to satisfy your late-night cravings, read on to get the best value from Wendy’s!

1. Wendy’s 4 for $4 Meal Deal: The Classic Bargain

One of the most popular deals at Wendy’s is the 4 for $4 deal. This is a go-to choice for anyone looking to fill up on a budget. For just $4, you can get a full meal that includes:

A Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger or a Crispy Chicken Sandwich

4-piece nuggets

A small fry

A small drink

This is one of the best deals in fast food, especially when you compare it to competitors’ value menus. The 4 for $4 provides a well-rounded meal with a bit of everything—protein, carbs, and that essential fast-food flavor. It’s a perfect option for a quick lunch or when you need a low-cost meal that still satisfies.

Tips to Maximize the 4 for $4 Deal:

Customize your burger: Wendy’s is known for its flexibility. You can add extra toppings like onions, lettuce, or sauces without adding much to the price.

Upgrade your drink: If you're willing to spend a bit more, consider upgrading to a larger drink or opting for a Frosty for dessert.

2. The $5 Biggie Bag: More Food, Same Great Value

While the 4 for $4 is perfect for many, some people might want just a bit more. That’s where Wendy’s $5 Biggie Bag comes in. For just one more dollar, you get an even bigger meal:

A Bacon Double Stack or Crispy Chicken BLT

4-piece nuggets

Small fries

Small drink

The key difference here is the sandwich. With the Biggie Bag, you get more meat, and that can make all the difference if you’re extra hungry. It’s still incredibly affordable, and the quality of Wendy’s burgers makes this deal feel like a steal.

Biggie Bag Hacks:

Double up on nuggets: If you’re not feeling the fries, ask to substitute them for extra nuggets. Wendy’s staff are usually willing to make reasonable swaps, and this way, you get even more protein.

Mix it up: Feeling indecisive? If your location offers it, you can switch the sandwich for another type like a chicken sandwich or even try out different combinations to keep things exciting.

3. Wendy’s 2 for $6 Meal Deal: Ideal for Sharing

Wendy’s 2 for $6 deal is perfect for those looking to share or those who want to stock up on larger portions. For just $6, you get to pick any two items from the following:

Dave’s Single (a classic quarter-pound burger)

10-piece Chicken Nuggets

Spicy Chicken Sandwich

Medium Chicken Nuggets Combo

This deal allows for a bit of mix-and-match based on your mood. Feeling like beef? Opt for Dave’s Single. Prefer chicken? Go for the spicy chicken sandwich and nuggets. This meal deal can also be split with a friend or saved for later if you’re looking to stretch your meal into two sittings.

Tips for the 2 for $6 Deal:

Customize the sandwich: Like with the other deals, take advantage of Wendy’s flexibility to add or remove toppings to create the perfect sandwich.

Perfect for sharing: If you’re dining with a friend or family member, this deal lets you share the love without spending much. Combine it with an order of fries, and you’re set!

4. Mobile App Offers: Unlocking Secret Deals

One of the best ways to ensure you’re getting the most out of your Wendy’s experience is to use their mobile app. Wendy’s regularly updates its app with exclusive deals that you won’t find in-store. From buy-one-get-one deals to discounts on premium menu items, the app is your key to even more savings.

Some of the deals you might find include:

BOGO on premium burgers

Free fries with any purchase

Discounted combo meals

The app also offers a rewards program where you earn points with every purchase. These points can be redeemed for free items like a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger or Frosty.

Mobile App Tip:

Always check before ordering: Before you even step foot in Wendy’s, check the app for current offers. You can stack these deals with existing meal combos for extra savings.

5. Secret Menu Hacks to Know About

While Wendy’s doesn’t officially have a secret menu, there are still plenty of ways to get creative with your order and make a meal that feels custom-tailored to your cravings. Here are a few "secret menu" items to try:

Barnyard Burger: Ask for a beef patty, chicken patty, and bacon on the same sandwich. You’ll get the best of all worlds!

Big Bacon Classic: While it was removed from the main menu, some locations will still make it if you ask. It’s a bigger, juicier version of the Baconator.

Frosty Float: Want to take your Frosty to the next level? Ask for a soda to be poured into your cup alongside the Frosty for a sweet, fizzy treat.

6. Seasonal and Limited-Time Offers: Keep an Eye Out

Wendy’s also occasionally rolls out limited-time offers and seasonal menu items. Around the holidays, you might see festive treats like peppermint Frostys or special burger variations with seasonal toppings. These are usually tied to promotions, so always keep an eye on Wendy’s website or app for announcements.

Conclusion: Making Wendy’s Meal Deals Work for You

Wendy’s has mastered the art of offering deals that cater to everyone—from the budget-conscious eater to those looking to indulge without overspending. The 4 for $4, $5 Biggie Bag, and 2 for $6 deal are all excellent options depending on your hunger level and preference, and with the app offering even more exclusive savings, Wendy’s truly delivers when it comes to meal deals.

So the next time you’re in the mood for fast food but don’t want to overspend, head to Wendy’s and explore these meal deals. With so many options, there’s something for everyone, and you’ll always leave feeling satisfied without emptying your wallet.

13 Bean Soup

Heartwarming - belly warming too as this is a hearty filling meal to ladle up for the whole family or to take on the go as a work lunch to microwave.  Does well as a make ahead meal if you do your cooking on the weekend.  The 13 bean blend is in the bulk bins at my favorite grocer or bagged with the other dried beans.  Freezes well, too for plan ahead cooking.  See what you think...

2 c. 13 bean mix

7 c. water

4 c. vegetable broth

1 bay leaf

3 carrots, sliced thin

2 c. celery, sliced thin

1 lg. onion, diced

1 t. pepper

1 t. salt

1 - 15 oz. can tomato sauce

1 - 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes with liquid

2 T. garlic, minced

Optional: 1 bunch epazote leaves - dried or fresh

In a large soup pot, add beans, water, vegetable broth, and bay leaf.  Cover, bring to a rolling boil.  Add epazote (optional), carrots, celery, onion, pepper, salt, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and garlic.  Turn down to simmer for approx. 2 hours until the beans are tender. 

Once I’ve got dinner figured out, I race down the stairs to my sewing studio to stitch cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .

Or I’m putting the finishing touches on knit hats or crocheted rugs made by me from upcycled recycled materials for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers for fun and frolic.  

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she knits eyecatching warm winter scarves and afghans from upcycled recycled yarns.

Cauliflower is one of those underrated vegetables that has found a new lease of life in recent years. It’s now acclaimed as a wonder vegetable as it acts as a low carbohydrate alternative to rice or couscous. Cauliflower rice, I’ve found, works particularly well with this simple but delicious vegetarian jerk sweet potato curry. https://tinandthyme.uk/2015/05/cauliflower-rice-and-jerk-sweet-potatoes-in-coconut/ #vegancurry #tinandthyme #alternative #benow #cauliflower #cookblogshare #vegetables #newlease #vegetablesaredelicious #homemade #veganrecipe #nomnom #sweetpotatocurry #lowcarbohydrate #cheapeats #whatveganseat #foodlover #jerk #vegansofig #veggies #curries #cauliflowerrice #sweetpotato #curry #lowcalorie #veganuary #veganuary2023 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4I5toLMwR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How to cook the perfect Jacket Potato in the microwave

Russet potatoes are best. If you can’t get those potatoes, any other potatoes will do.

To microwave medium size:

Wash & dry ( wash under tap & use scrubbing brush if needed, then dry with tea towel)

Massage with oil (use whatever oil you’ve got, rub oil into potatoes in circular motions making sure to cover all of the potato)

Prick with a fork all over (think of the potato as having 4 sides. On each side thrust fork into potato top, middle and bottom)

Set microwave to medium (my microwave runs hot so I set it to medium for everything, if yours doesn’t you might need to set to high) for 3 minutes 30 seconds

Turn potatoes 180 degrees (from front to back)

Microwave on medium heat (see point 4) for 3 minutes 30 seconds

Use for to check if done (stab fork into potato, if there isn’t any resistance & it’s easy to insert fork, the potatoes cooked, if there’s resistance to inserting the fork, it isn’t done, continue to cook for 1 min intervals, checking using the fork every minute)

Rest for a minute (you can use this minute to cook all sorts of toppings)

If you don’t want to cook extra topping or you want cheap eats, add a ‘dollop’ (whatever you can afford) of butter, twist of salt & a twist of pepper (see seasonings blog for advice on cheapest way to do this)
