I admire all those women who can formulate one post about their goals for the year. Clearly I am not one of them. So I am just plodding along in different areas. While I could just skip it, I think writing them down helps, and I hope that having written them I will feel accountable!
Plus I need help.
Like many women I am looking for creative ways to cut costs on groceries, after all, my new goal is to make my grocery/household include diapers and wipes too. So while I continue to work on my shopping techniques, I am looking for simpler or cheaper meals that we really like.
So I have three things I would like to do.
- Cook through the More-With-Less Cookbook (World Community Cookbook)
this year - not doing all the recipes, but doing all the recipes that appeal to us. I really like this cookbook but find I need to add a bit more seasoning to recipes. If you have this cookbook and love it, please share some of your favorites with me! (And please include adjustments you make!) - Cook through the Extending the Table: A World Community Cookbook
- this is the international sister book of More With Less. So far I am not horribly impressed, but think it has good potential. Plus, I already own a copy so I want to work through it. And, once again, if you have this cookbook and love it, please share some of your favorites with me! (And please include adjustments you make!) - Cook my way through Super Suppers Cookbook
as the grocery sales allow. A well stocked freezer has saved us lots of money through the years when we are stressed, sick, or just tired. I love having a good stash of meals in there and would like to cook through this book to expand my repertoire. (Plus, I have heard rumors of a Super Suppers 2 cookbook...)
Does anyone want to cook through these with me? We could share reviews!

I don't have these cookbooks but am also looking for some fresh ways to cut costs. We bought a Costco membership for ourselves for Christmas and that's been helping. But, I do tire of the same, boring routines etc. I, too, have been making better use of my freezer lately. I've been cooking a double portion of soup on Sundays for our lunch or dinner and freezing most of it. It makes for GREAT, easy lunches for the girls and I and is also a great, quick gift to a shut-in or someone who is sick etc. I love being able to give without the stress of all the work:)
I'll check to see if our library has or can get those cookbooks and get back to you. Sounds like fun!
I love that More-With-Less Cookbook, and I've been wanting to try Extending the Table. I'll have to check out Super Suppers. Great links, thanks!
