Book Description

Better Homes & Gardens Cooking April 14, 2009

Save money and eat well with the healthful, delicious, and affordable recipes in Budget Meals

Everyone is pinching pennies these days. But it's hard to find the time (and the energy) to devise effective ways to slash your food bill. Now, Budget Meals comes to the rescue with more than 350 everyday and party-special recipes designed to save you money without scrimping on flavor.

With recipes including entrees, soups and stews, skillet meals, pastas, salads, side dishes, and even desserts, nobody will suspect that you saved big at the supermarket! There's also a chapter devoted to party food for entertaining on the cheap, and a bonus chapter, "Cook Once, Eat Twice," that gives you two recipes for the price (and effort!) of one.

In addition to recipes, you'll find

  • 50 No-Recipe Recipes: Be creative even when you're convinced you have nothing in the kitchen to cook for dinner
  • 100 Money-Saving Tips and Hints (10 in each chapter), which offer practical ideas for saving energy and money when shopping and when cooking the types of recipes featured in the chapter
  • "In a Pinch" solutions throughout, including simple, clever ways to improvise, such as making your own seasoned breadcrumbs using bread you have on hand
  • Nutrition information with every recipe
  • Lay-flat spiral binding, so recipes are easy to consult

With great-tasting recipes using inexpensive ingredients and a treasury of practical ideas, Budget Meals paves the way for countless meals that will save you money without sacrificing flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!, December 3, 2010

This review is from: Better Homes and Gardens Budget Meals: Save big $$$ with smart ways to shop and efficient ways to cook (Better Homes & Gardens Cooking) (Plastic Comb)
I use this recipe book often when I'm making out my menus for the month! I usually make 2 large grocery trips per month and I make many of the recipes in this book! They are easy, low-cost, and tasty!!! AND a special bonus, they even have fish recipes that are good!!! I am trying my best to introduce more fish into our diets as we are trying to eat healthier meals. I'm not a big fish person, but some of these are really good! And they have pictures too for some of the recipes! Great book, I hope they come out with another Budget cookbook soon!

This review is from: Better Homes and Gardens Budget Meals: Save big $$$ with smart ways to shop and efficient ways to cook (Better Homes & Gardens Cooking) (Plastic Comb)
This turned out to be a practical and good basic cookbook..some of the items could have been made more budget conscious...I used canned pink salmon for the red sockeye in the dip and chowder..also for those in small town mid west areas ingredients like smoked chipolte peppers and Thai ingredients might be pricey and hard to come by....but generally it is a good cookbook and a refreshing change from those cookbooks that think the height of cooking is pouring some type of salsa over everything .
