Our message is simple: enjoying life doesn’t take oodles of dough. Find pleasure in simple daily living. And, food is one of life’s basic pleasures. Great, yummy ingredients + simple recipes= orgasmically good tastes. Eat healthy. We devote an entire chapter in our book to shopping for and preparing great food. Tomatoes, cabbage, chicken thighs, bluefish (don’t be a brat and crinkle up your nose) all are inexpensive and delicious ingredients that are healthy and easily prepared.
We want your recipes. Send us your smart, healthy and tasty favorite meals that use inexpensive ingredients. Remember, there’s more to a chicken than just the white meat (besides, honey, no new breasts for you this year, you’re on a budget remember?).
We’ll select several to share next week. Post them right in the comment section on the upper right hand of this post.
You can even post a video of you preparing the recipe. That could be fun!
I’m so worried about the direction our love ones are headed in nowadays. Watching Jamie Olivers food revolution on tv the other day scared the thingies out of me. I suggest we all start cooking some healthy recipe like these at home if we’re going to fix this horrible situation. The ones on that site seem pretty easy, I tried last night and it’s the first time my family has eaten well in so long, I just feel great.
Mexican Pot Pie, my family loves this one- the kids really dig!
1.5 pounds ground beef, or turkey. I like less fat!
2 tbs ground cumin, garlic salt, pepper
1can diced tomatoes
1 can cream corn
1can beans, i prefer kidney beans- light or dark. What ever you like
Corn bread, prepare batter according to directions
Fry meat, add spices and tomatoes cook for a minute. Add corn and beans, turn into a 13inch baking dish, pour corn bread batter over mixture. Bake according to corn bread directions, just check until done! Serve with a salad, enjoy!
I have a few recipes that are inexpensive and tasty
