NEED KITCHEN ADVICE please..

[wendy]

Well, with the new baby, dh being off work for the summer (he's a teacher) and anything else you could throw in the mix, we're a little off budget. Okay, way off and it looks like we're going to be FORCED into no spending days until the end of August.

I'm ready for this challenge now, since I have no choice.


Anyway, I'm putting out a call for cook from scratch recipes that basically require eggs, flour, milk and any of the cheap ingredients that one would have. We have quite a bit of spices, oils and baking powder, too.

If you have any good recipes for biscuits, gravy, or anything filling, cheap and easy, I would love to read them and will appreciate it!

Thanks so much!
