Sep. 7, 2008 - A Few Frugal Cooking Tips
- Out of eggs - use 1 Tablespoon Soyflour and 1 Tablespoon water (you can buy soyflour at walmart for about 2 dollars it is in a brown box) I used this in muffins, corn bread, and cake and they all turned out great. I did add a little more liquid until the batters looked correct.
- Only buy meat that is under $1.50 a pound and when it is that price buy as much as you can. (yep- you have to give up the boneless skinless-)
- Make your own bread, rolls, cornbread (serve bread to your starving kids at every meal) REFRAIN from eating the bread yourself at every meal or you may be having to buy new clothes which would undo the frugalness!!
- Serve soup at least once a week. Make a huge pot and serve for dinner and then for lunches several days. Add homemade rolls and the kids will eat it up. (at least after the first month or so they will)
- Use powdered milk in all of your cooking. You can not tell the difference.
- Cabbage is very high in vitamin C if you are having trouble affording fruit. I will post a Cabbage soup recipie that we love!
- Buy some treats and partial them out so your family doesn't get burnt out on your frugal meals.
- Make weekends exciting! Homemade pizza or chicken wings!
