Finding the best recipes online.
As a single mother doing it all for her four children sometimes the simple act of feeding them all at once can be the biggest and most arduous task but I face a daily basis. My mother, God rest of soul, had an absolute truckload of recipe books, and folders of recipes that she collected from various magazines and books throughout her life, and from these she always found cooking wisdom and kitchen inspiration. Sadly this 80 year recipe collection did not survive her, and I’m left to start from scratch building up my own recipe books and recipe collection to feed my lovable, but ever devouring children. Happily the Internet is providing away to collect recipes without ever needing to purchase a single recipe book.
www.yummly.com is a great site for visually collecting recipes that look and taste great. It is another one of those sites that collected starter by searching other sites that the top recipes and displaying it to everyone on single page. My favourite things about this is not only can you enter simply the ingredients that you have at home and it will show you a number recipes using these ingredients that you can build for yourself, but it also has a highly effective review system by which other people who are physically made the recipe and comment on how it worked for them, this way you know if the recipe is going to work in the first place.
Jamie Oliver has to be one might favourite chefs and his website though it a www. JamieOliver.com is a great source for some of his grace and famously frugal recipes. His new book save with Jamie is still $30 or $40 in the shops, so it might be a while before get my hands on it, evening using my own advice on buying the cheapest books online, but he offers a lot of these tips and recipes right here on his website, and it has some great tips to feeding families on a small budget.
Obviously when feeding them on a budget the most important thing to do is to remember that the recipe that you make at home doesn’t have to be 100% the same as the recipe that the book says. The best thing I ever did in the kitchen was learn how to cook. This might sound overly simplistic but the simple act of being able to cook with what you have available is not only going to make the kids happy, but make the bank balance happy as well. Buy whatever is on special at the local stores, and find a way to incorporate that into an existing recipe that you know well will work. Learn how to cook and save yourself money seems so simple doesn’t it?
