Just found this blog while trying to figure out what to do with leftover quinoa, black beans, and butternuts squash. I haven't delved too deeply but it looks pretty interesting. She shows prices per serving of some of her recipes and it looks like there is a link to what $25 of healthy food in a shopping cart can look like.

    I am a big fan of Kimberly. That is where I was introduced to Quinoa. This is my fav recipe on there:

    This looks amazing! Thank you!!
  • Like the look of the sweet potato and carrot puree, two veggies I always have in but always just roast.

    Thanks.

    I will have to show this to my friend. She seems convinced that you have to have money to eat healthy and thinks buying 3 boxes of poptarts and cookies a better way to spend her cash lol Thank you for the link!

    I see baked doughnuts recipe it looks like! Yum. lol.

    Wow this is so up my alley... I'm attempting to shop low budget while making all meals at home! :) I swear by emealz.com and I preplan all my lunches. I also French Press my coffee now. So my food bill hovers under about $500 a month for two people. That includes nonfood essentials and we never eat out so we save a ton!

    LOL, it's a pic from Double Down, The Happiest Place on Earth (locals bar in Las Vegas). It says "Merry Xmas Dammit" and the skeleton has a martini in his hand. I think you can seeenlarged it if you go to my profile.


    Oops, never mind, not talking to me.
  • Thanks! Great site!
