When More Expensive is the Better Deal

I like a bargain. I like spending as little money as possible. I’m always looking for the best prices. But sometimes, in order to save money, you need to spend more money than you were originally considering. And no, in this case, I’m not talking about buying food in bulk and laying out more money […]

Cutting Cost of Ground Meat Recipes

Meat is expensive, no bones about it. (Pun intended.) From my calculations, at least around here, ground meat (aka hamburger) is actually one of the more expensive types of meats, at least compared to the other things I regularly would buy. (I’m not comparing hamburger meat to steaks, obviously.) Many recipes call for ground meat, […]

Wild Fennel- Foraged Food

A nice amount of wild fennel. I had zero intention to forage today. My littler one (officially renamed Ike from his old pseudonym Spike) was sick and I had plenty to do. Yet somehow I arrived home with a nice sized 4.5 ounce bundle of wild fennel. How did that happen? Well, I was driven […]
