Rising food prices any economical ideas??
Q. With rising food costs, any ideas about grocery shopping to save money? Will take recipes also..thanks
A. Strategies for saving money:
Look for specials on meats and vegetables
Buy seasonal vegetables and fruits
Frequent farmers' markets for fun and savings
Processed food coupons are generally a rip off compared to cooking it yourself or buying store brands
Eat lower on the animal - chuck rather than porterhouse, sholder chops braised rather than loin chops grilled
Eat lower on the food chain - chicken instead of cow, beans instead of chicken
Eat vegetarian one or two nights per week.
Plan your week morphing leftovers into later meals. Roast chicken on Sunday, chicken sandwiches on Monday and green salad with chicken and kidney beans for dinner on Tuesday night.
By whole chicken, cut them up yourself and make your own delicious fresh chicken stock with the bones and so forth.
Start the meal with soup, salad or pasta as a separate course, people will eat less of the main dish.
Make your own bread. Store bought french bread costs $3 - the fool proof crusty bread from the NYT cost about $1.25.
Don't buy chips, cookies or boxed cereals - corn flakes are more expensive than you think. Switch to bulk whole grains like rolled oats, bulgar etc.
Make a big pot of bean soup. My husband and I will eat it three times in a week with big smiles on our faces and friends over for dinner one of the nights (with the homemade bread and the salad first course they feel that they have a had a real treat!)
Comfort food are generally comfortable on the budget - meatloaf, mac&cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, tuna noodle casserole, pot roast.
Have fun, we'll survive.

really really simple healthy and quick recipes?
Q. I don't even know where to start. I mostly lived off junk food. I now realize how bad it is and want to change. The healthy food to make at home seems so overwhelming in cookbooks and too much time and complicated for a person that never cooked.
I like to take bay steps. Any suggestions? also for snacks too?

A. Fruit Salad. You could do a lott with fruit and animal cracker, cut up the fruit into cubes and crush some animal cracker on top and put some raisins or something on top.
Craisins or any other fried fruit.
Apple Slices dipped in caramel (Or just plain apple slices)
Pudding cups/Fruit cups
Rice Krispie Bars
Graham Cracker Sandwich with jelly filling
Celery with peanut butter on top, sprinkled with raisins. Call this ants on a log!
Veggie Pizza
Real Fruit Fat Free Popsicles
Trail Mix
Apple Sauce
Yogurt with chopped fruit in it
Chex Mix
Air-popped popcorn with little or no butter
Wheat Thins
Budget Yet Healthy Dinner Ideas:
Ground Beef. You can either cook it with elbow macaroni & spaghetti sauce or you can cook it with alfredo pasta and Hunts gravy (99 cents only). It's delicious. Also, goes well with texas toast.
Broiled Pork Chops. You'll want to have them with steamed carrots and mashed potatoes.
Ground Chicken. I like to cook Ground Chicken with my Yellow Rice (you can buy Goya yellow rice mix for 99 cents) and throw it in the rice and add some corn for a more mexican-style dish.
Meatloaf! You can make it with ground turkey or extra lean ground beef. You can serve with a small serving of mashed potatoes and some peas.
Lean cut of beef with a baked potato and steamed broccoli.
Vegetable Soup.
Burgers (made with extra lean beef) with vegetarian baked beans and Dole Cole Slaw (from the bag).
Grilled Chicken served with peas & white rice.
Pasta Salad (cooked macaroni, add green onions, green and red peppers, pickles, olives (or any vegetable you may like) chopped up of course and for the dressing add zesty italian dressing to taste)
You can also cut the grilled chicken in cubes and add it to a salad.
