Especially those with color photographs and great ideas for eating well inexpensively. I consider myself a frugal foodie, someone who uses the good stuff, but uses it sparingly to make it go farther! Any cookbook with great ideas that you can use your imagination to create new and exciting dishes for your family is a awesome cookbook to me. I look forward to checking this one out!
I browsed the recipes and was pleased by how simple they were- even a novice like myself was not scared! The skillet lasagna looks fantastic, as do all the soups and chowders. My only concern is the fat content. I hope I can swap in low-fat alternative ingredients without raising the prices too much.
In case you didn't know, Dolly Freed's "Possum Living" was just reprinted. Tin House Books, $12.95.
People seem to have a facination for making something out of discards. Tramp art, scrap quilts, outsider art, picassiette. Then there's the idea of living off the land, as in Euell Gibbons's "Stalking the Wild Asparagus". What is it that facinates us with this kind of thinking? Curious.
During my stint in the Navy I got really used to being mobile. Although I was primarily stationed in Jacksonville Fl I traveled quite a bit. When I got out of the Navy I took a job in VA i was there for about 8 months an internal opportunity presented it self with the company I currently worked for presented itself in GA which I took. But in these last few months I have bought my first house and had my first child. Although I would want to give him a stable environment to grow up in, but if a position comes along that will allow me to provide for my family better than I can now i would most definitely consider that move.
Wow, I could use this cookbook! I agree that most cookbooks like this have regurgitated hamburger recipes and I am excited one may not. Going to put it on my Amazon wish list in case I don't win!
I like this idea; you always see recipe books focusing on fat content, low sodium, and other diet trends. It's nice to see a cookbook that actually looks at the cost of the meal!
For any rebate that I receive on a prepaid card, I use it to buy a gift card. $10 prepaid card is used to buy a $10 gift card at a store of my choosing (usually grocery store) and then I spend that gift card on my purchase. Works out well and I don't lose any of the money from the rebate.
I've been a subscriber of All You for over a year so its good to know there were many recipes still new to you. I always like the ones they include in the magazine especially the lovely pictures. I am always on the look out for a cookbook with recipes that my family can eat/will eat and not cost me an arm &/or a leg.
I looked at the recipes on their website and all looked good. I think I will make the Creamy Corn Chowder one tonight -- corn chowder is one of my favorites.
I have been trying to find a cookbook that not only saves me money (I'm recently furloughed) but also lets me eat well (read: I don't want to gain weight eating on the cheap). The only thing with estimating cost per serving is that this neglects the wasted ingredients. For example, this recipe calls for sage leaves and ricotta - two ingredients I won't likely need again until before they go bad. So cost of the entire ingredient also needs to be considered when figuring the total price per serving. Just a thought.
This sounds like a really helpful and interesting cookbook. I'm actually going to try their Spinach-Ricotta Skillet Lasagna recipe that they have on the website.
I know though if I won this book, I would give it to my boyfriend. He's out of work for several months and with two teenagers he has to feed every day, I think this would help him out.
I have a family so there are other factors besides just job satisfaction to take into consideration. I have a family so how they would adapt to the environment I was moving to as well as the requirements of the perfect job on my family would need to be taken into consideration.
Wow, that ravioli sounds DELICIOUS. I'm starving now!

This cookbooks sounds like a great way to cook on a budget. The white bean and chicken chili would definitely be something I'd try.
words cannot express how appreciative i am for the linkback. This is one of the most valuable yet and i thank you :)

This would be a great way for me to improve my cooking skills.
Thanks this could work for me cause after I play my games and my father has to use the computer he gets really mad at how slow it is...
We are constantly trying to balance out sticking to a budget and eating well. I would welcome any of the great recipes this book has to offer!

As a single mom, I'm always trying to find ways to feed my family well on a budget. This cookbook sounds great.

Looks like a departure from most cookbooks. I would defintely like to try it out.
Hope I can win a copy!
We are also always trying to find new dishes that are inexpensive and delicious. This book sounds interesting.
I will try the lemony chicken breasts w/rice for this time of year this recipe looks like a winner.
Simply great guide thanks
I really appreciate that the recipes aren't the usual eat-beans-every-day variety. I like beans and lentils but I'm getting sick of them!
