We need recipes for inexpensive foods
I can pitch in and provide some ideas about how to control stress, because when the economy goes down like what we are facing now, stress goes up....and for most of us that means eating or the possibility of eating out of control. And in my case, that means that my blood pressure goes up and so does the sugar level....neither of which I want to happen.
So let's start trying to post some things that will help us all through the tough times ahead with inexpensive ways to meet our goals and still keep this weight off.
Good idea! I'm looking forward to the answers.... but I have a question too. Are their farmers markets in Montgomery and the surround? Or is it more roadside stands like I found in Georgia?
In the meantime, I have to tell you I love to mix a little meat (say some leftover chicken) with some beans (I like black beans, but do as you will) with some veggies. It's cheap, easy, and can be cold or warm.
My favorite go to meal is some ff refried beans with a little ff cheese. Boring as all get out, but delicious, filling, and cheap. Of course, I am not cooking for people who can eat regularly.
Hey there. I love refried beans with cheese but I top mine with a little light sour cream and salsa. Makes a very tasty meal. I love a piece of deli meat wrapped around some cheese or a pickle spear too. Can also use light cream cheese spread on deli meat wrap around a pickle spear. I bought a LARGE jar of whole dill pickles at WM for $3 and cut them up myself.
One suggestion I have is to freeze any leftovers into individual portiond to have later. Yesterday, my Dad brought over 3/4 of a boston butt he'd cooked. We had already grilled porkchops. I'm going to take the leftovers and freeze them and we can have them for dinner another night in the near futrure. This way we don't get burned out on eat leftovers everyday.
