Hi Ellen, your site is awesome! I definitely need to go through your (TON OF) recipes. By the way, I recently also started a cooking site, slovakcooking.com. I am originally from Slovakia so I am using the site to promote Slovak cuisine. On Monday I prepared chicken paprikash with halusky (Slovak potato dumplings). The whole meal cost under 12 dollars and resulted in 6 hearty plates. And it tasted great. Not a bad deal for 2 bucks a dish!

I love this recipe for vegetarian burritos just goes to show that Mexican food can be more versatile than a lot of people think!

Glad you liked the chickpea curry! Thanks for dropping by to comment on it. I like it when people modify recipes to suit their own palate and pantry.. that’s the only way!

Thanks for the links! I’m looking for some good tofu recipes because, oddly enough, my three-year-old loves the stuff.

I made this today, when I saw that big bags of apples were in the produce aisle. Turned out great, although it didn’t quite seem firm enough (although maybe I didn’t let it cool enough!). Great recipe, with simple ingredients. Thanks!

Just made it about 5 minutes ago and loved the taste. It needed a fair amount of salt to bring out the flavors, but I loved how hearty it was without needing any meat.

I’d heard of King Ranch casserole but never saw a recipe for it. Love the idea of freezing half, also the tip on poaching the chicken! I will keep this in mind next time chicken goes on sale.

Great recipes–we need more people with a sense of taste and an awareness of a budget. You and your readers might enjoy I Like My Recipes Healthy, Cheap and Easy which has other inexpensive but delicious dishes but with a healthy, simple and for the most part “natural” take. Hope you enjoy as much as I am enjoying this–I can’t wait to start cooking!
