Hello, everyone--

It's only every once in a while that I find or conceive of a truly good budget recipe. It's very disheartening to see "economical" recipes with ingredients (say, meat) that already cost good money or are just variations on rice and beans. But just yesterday such a recipe occurred to me ( Read more... )

Dear Purveyors of Poverty Management --

I am in search of recipes to re-create that of insta-meals/"box" suppers -- a la Hillbilly Housewife's Humble Helper.

I've tried out this recipe and it worked pretty well. I've also altered it by adding cinnamon and sugar, or chopped jalapenos and shredded cheese, and it went over pretty well with the roommates. I thought I'd post it here for all of you who live in dorms without ovens, don't have enough counter space to knead dough on, or just don't want to waste ( Read more... )

So, entirely due to recent poor_skills threads, I've become totally enchanted with canning. We tried a small batch of Low-sugar Strawberry Jam last weekend using my husband's brewing kettle as a water canner, and it turned out great! So, I'm planning on doing a TON more jam this weekend (especially since berries are currently BOGO at the store...), and I want ( Read more... )
