    Thank you, after 37 years of marriage I am definitely looking for some new recipes. Especially the ones for just 2 people.

    Interesting site. Good videos and ideas. I must admit though, the article on a meal for $10 had me laughing. I allow $5 per day per person for all meals. That's $10 per day for DH and I. I think, looking at the instructions, this site is really aimed at the working mom who hasn't time to do much scratch cooking. I'd be making my own tortillas and grating my own cheese...but I have the time for that.

    Thanks for that- I liked all the different subcatagories (the pantry ones always give me a new insight on what I should stockpile!).

    I agree with peanut. I'm an Allrecipes fanatic, I use it almost every day. I checked out what they called budget cooking a few months ago and thought it was a HUGE joke! What they consider budget cooking, I consider extravagant spending. I think they are considering it budget conscience in comparison to eating in a restaurant!

    Although, I won't knock allrecipes...like I said, I totally love that site!
