The frugal gourmet

[Ursy]

Most of us are in the same boat - don't have a lot of money to splash around these days. But that shouldn't stop us from eating well!

I've been cooking a lot from scratch these days, simply because I enjoy it, it's better for us (less preservatives, etc), better for the planet (less packaging and processing), it ends up cheaper, and I also know what's gone into it Besides, cooking from scratch tastes way better.

Anyway, I've been looking for recipes that are good but don't cost a lot.
So I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to share these recipes and tips.

I hope Bit will come in and share her home made noodles recipe 'cause they are so so good and so much easier on the pocket than a packet of store bought noodles. That's a great example of good food, and frugal!

Ok, to start - I'm posting a link. Thinking of making this one tonight - it's from the 5 dollar dinners website which is a really handy one to know about:
