I belong to numerous cooking and recipe websites (recipezaar, allrecipes and taste of home to name a few) and receive several daily newsletters. I have decided to share recipes from those newsletters, because aren't that what recipes are for?

I will provide a link to them (as I won't actually be rewriting them to make them my own), with feedback about each one. For example, I receive a Taste of Home Light Desserts newsletter, and while the recipes sound pretty good, the ingredients they use could stand to be improved.

Feedback is definitely appreciated. My fellow foodies probably have some great ideas on improving these recipes as well!

As always, enjoy!

Too many of the recipes I read have ingredigents that Ican not afford. We are short on staples let alone using expensive spices etc to recipes.

I guess there is a lot to the phrase, " Eating to live; or Living to Eat"

I wished could find a group for good recipes on a shoe string budget.

That sounds like a great idea.
☀ Aunt Shanny Jan 9, 2008, 10:52am EST
Thanks!

Wiaka, I believe Gather does have groups for that. We are now on a budget as well since food has skyrocketed in price; I can't buy as healthy as I would like. Sure, I want to eat more fish/organics, but I can't afford it.

Here is one, Wiaka.
Amy C. Jan 9, 2008, 10:55am EST
looking forward to the recipes! Thank you!

Wonderful Idea!

This sounds like fun. And, I'm glad to see the cheaprecipes link. This is a good idea. The food prices have jumped here too, and it's awful. I've cooked 2 pots of blackeyed pease in this past week. I guess next week it'll be 2 pots of pintos or navy beans. Whatever to fill out a meal and cut down on the more expensive stuff. I wouldn't do it if we didn't like peas or beans, but we do so it is no sacrifice. That might be key to this. Something that we like and is not expensive to finish a meal.

I am making a big pot of lentil soup tonight, Lynn. The big meals that are filling and cheap are the only way to go!

Thanks for the great feedback from all of you.

I'm always up for more recipes as you know.

Too bad John doesn't like beans/legumes, I love lentil soup!

Thank you Shannon.

Our basic staples are potatoes ( my hubby can't live without them ), one meat pack of 25 lbs a month, and a few veggies and that wipes us out.

I would like to see some brown rice recipes. I am sick of potatoes. lol

Wiaka - if you do a google search, there are lots of sites with cheap, nutritious food! Many of them are vegetarian. The thing about herbs and spices is that though they may be expensive to buy initially, they keep for quite a while and you often have to use a very small amount in a recipe to make it interesting or pep it up.
donna h. Jan 9, 2008, 11:18am EST
even though I can't eat alot of your recipes...keep'm coming :D
☀ Aunt Shanny Jan 9, 2008, 11:22am EST
Mog, Matt doesn't really care for them but he knows they are good for him. And cheap.

Donna, what would like to see more of? I would love to post things that you like!

Thanks, all.
Thanks for posting these to my group, Shannon!
☀ Aunt Shanny Jan 9, 2008, 11:56am EST
Glad to, Sue.
Mary M. Jan 9, 2008, 12:48pm EST
Awesome! I look forward to it!
I'm a HUGE fan of recipezaar! Haha!
☀ Aunt Shanny Jan 9, 2008, 1:24pm EST
Thanks!

I like them too, Kimmy, but I think allrecipes is set up better.
Great! I'm looking forward to them Shannon.
Marianne M. Jan 9, 2008, 3:07pm EST
Sounds good to me. Life would be really boring without recipes ...
Bob B. Jan 9, 2008, 7:56pm EST
This is a great idea Shannon.
☀ Aunt Shanny Jan 9, 2008, 8:44pm EST
Thanks for the support, guys and gals :)
