The recession and difficult economic times  are causing many folks to change their eating habits.  What I mean is, that you’re prbaboly more apt to eat a home-cooked meal, rather than visiting a favorite restaurant or drive thru joint.  If you budget appropriately, and shop for grocery bargains, there’s no reason you can’t save a LOT of money and eat healther by preparing your own home-cooked meals, packing your own lunches, and making good use of left overs. I said home-cooked…not TV dinners or throwing a pre-cooked food pack into your microwave. You say that tou don’t have time? Sure you do! Many recipes are quick and easy to make and can be tailored for picky eaters in your family. Don’t like to cook? Think you can’t cook? Well, that’s why i’m here!  I’m the cheap and simple homestyle cook.  Oh, AND occasionally, I’ll throw in a recipe for exotic cusine, that still budget friendly, healthier, and easy to cook!
