Cooking What You've Got
Why Waste Food?
Wasting Food?
You know, it's amazing how people waste food. Yet, they are always looking for ways to save money when they shop for groceries. It's kind of ironic.
I'm always looking for the easiest of recipes to cook. When I go online to find a recipe as simple as "Sloppy Joe's," I don't want to find a recipe that you need 10 ingredients for, I need one with not more than 4 or 5. Not everybody has money to spend buying all the gourmet spices, and razzle dazzle that people are using to cook with. A lot of people are on limited incomes or welfare, and are looking for ways to stretch the dollar that they have.
Stretching the Budget
You should to be able to prepare a tasty dishes with 5 items or less, is my theory. Some people are eating macaroni and cheese every night, and for them it's a delight just to get a can of tuna or Spam (which I noticed is not cheap anymore)
I've visited peoples houses and they say, We don't have anything to eat! Yet, you can open their fridge, and it's full of food! I don't understand this. Try living in Russia for awhile. Our refrigerator was always empty. Shopping on a weekly or monthly basis was unheard of.
Cheaper Eating Out?
It used to be that it was cheaper to prepare home cooked meals instead of eating out. Nowadays, it doesn't seem like this holds true anymore. What happened? We got busy. Busy with life, busy with our jobs, busy, busy, busy. None of the modern conveniences that they said was going to save us time, doesn't seem to be doing that.
One of my problems with the fast food luxury is that my kids aren't learning how to cook. They don't realize that when they are older, and have their own family that they too are going to be looking for ways to cut corners.___________________________________________
