Welcome

This blog is a cookbook for people who have very little money, but still want to eat semi-healthy.  Some recipes may require a little effort, but the payoff is well worth it.  And other recipes are just for filling your stomach with something delicious when you have nothing left in the house. But when you're poor as fuck, what can you do?

You can use this blog to search ingredients or to just find a recipe with stuff you already have. Everything on this blog I've made.  And certainly, it tastes good.  If I make something that tastes like utter ballsacks, rest assured, I will not post it.

Our journey started back in 1998 when I gave birth to my oldest son when I was 20 years old.  When you start having children that young, you usually end up staying in a cycle of poverty.  And my family was no different.  I am not complaining, as I chose to stay at home and raise my two kids (but also due to my anxiety disorder, I couldn't work anyways).  I wouldn't trade having money for all the amazing time I've got to spend with my kids  We've been lucky, even though we're poor.  Money isn't everything, ya'll.  Although having more $$ would be nice (duh, who doesn't want money??).  But we've been at this "poor thing" for so long, we know how to do it well, and how to feed our family 😉

So this blog was born out of our delicious dinners with the four of us, sitting around our table in candlelight and wearing big sweaters, being all hygge and shit.  Just kidding.  More than likely we're seated around the TV watching whatever our favorite Netflix or Hulu show is at the time.  Or we're chowing down while creating our Pathfinder or D&D characters.  Or we're stuffing our faces while coming up with cool ideas at our family meetings to create our own video games.  Or we're politely eating finger sandwiches while discussing Buddhist philosophy with light jazz on in the background.  Because we are rad-ass versatile motherfuckers like that.  Namaste, bitches.  And why is my dog on the table again?  Fucking Cooper!


So check out my family's recipes, and hopefully, they can help you keep your family's bellies full, your pocketbook stretched, and your tastebuds happy!!
