"I can make a mean box of macaroni and cheese."
This was the proud statement I made through my teenage years until I moved out of my parents' house at 19. I was incredibly proud to have found a different measurement for the butter and milk you add to a box of macaroni and a packet of powdered cheese. It wasn't the only thing I could make but I wasn't really set on making anything else. My dad taught me to make his recipe for fried chicken when I was a kid and I had learned recipes from my mom through the years but I prided myself on macaroni and cheese. When I moved out, I realized that it would not be healthy to only live on a box of preservatives and begun collecting recipes to try.
Now, I am proud when I make chicken cordon bleu or homemade pizza dough or a slow-cooked pot roast. I have learned so many recipes from my mom, cooking websites, magazines, cookbooks, and I've even modified some myself. My budget continues to shrink and, each week, I ask myself:
"What delicious foods can I make without breaking the bank?"
I'm hoping to use this blog to show you inexpensive and easy recipes from all of the resources I've had. I'll reference websites I've used but I'll try to post my own pictures that may not be as pretty as the magazine. I hope you enjoy this journey with me!
