On this blog, you can find tips and recipes that will taste gourmet and be easy on your wallet. Each recipe featured will cost between $2 and $3 as a full meal per person. You can adjust any of these large recipes for a family meal or a sit-down dinner party, and always know that cost you will need in your monthly food budget to serve delicious, amazing food to all your family and friends! I will be discussing easy ways to use coupons (not extreme-couponing, but everyday 10 minute coupon solutions), and how to use the Internet to fix your cheap gourmet meals! I will share stories about how I feed my family, navigating their unique culinary tastes (i.e. extremely picky eaters), and explain how spices can liven up any meal if used properly. I will discuss different handy cooking tips, techniques, and easy ideas for creating kids' snacks and lunches. I am so glad you decided to visit my blog, and I pray that you will be blessed by what you find here! Dive in and enjoy.
