As I considered what topic I'd choose home cooking kept rearing its angry pot. We're facing a few lean months ahead due to some budget tightening over at the Hubster's place of employment. Their budget tightening means I have to tighten up our home budget as well. I don't have a great deal of flexibility in our home budget, but one area I can tighten up is our grocery budget.
So...I'm planning to use pantry and freezer ingredients in the month of October to keep our meals simple and at home.
Come and join me in 31 Days of Home Cooked Meals.
The majority of my menu choices will be dinner recipes that are simple, easy to prepare, and use many ingredients that folks might already have in their pantries. Some will show you how to cook from scratch and some will show you how to make your own homemade versions of convenience foods.
