Everything Meals on a Budget

Wednesday March 26, 2008
My newest cookbook is now available! Everything Meals on a Budget was really fun to write. I enjoyed challenging myself to create the cheapest, most nutritious, and best tasting recipes possible. My favorite chapter is "Make a Meal from (Almost) Nothing", which features recipes made from inexpensive pantry staples. Dressed-Up Macaroni and Cheese for 63 cents a serving is a good choice from that chapter; I made that recipe a lot when I was first married. Most of the recipes in the book can be made for under $2.00 a serving. The book was written last year, however, and food prices have gone up substantially since then. But you can still save a lot of money and keep your family happy with these recipes and lots of tips. Enjoy!

I’m so glad you liked the book. It’s hard to believe it was my first one, written five years ago!
