Like just about everyone right now, my small family was STRUGGLING to make ends meet and keep food on the table. With the cost of everything rising and wages remaining stagnant, our little family felt stuck eating the same staples over and over again just to get by. I couldn’t do it anymore! I wanted new flavors, new textures, and truly filling foods on a budget. So, I started a little passion project to curate recipes that checked all the boxes:
✅ Budget Friendly
✅ Delicious
✅ Easy to make
✅ Healthy
✅ Quick to put together
✅ Plenty of variety
✅ Accessible ingredients
✅ Easy to follow recipes
I started digging and was constantly bombarded by advertisements, pop-ups, ridiculous paywalls, and pages upon pages of life stories before even being able to find the recipe I was looking for. For someone on a serious budget and time crunch, I just couldn’t stand it. I started experimenting in the kitchen with my husband and daughter and slowly, I started building my collection of delicious recipes that we not only love to eat, but also love to make!
Originally, I dug into depression-era foods, thinking that might be my solution, and they were great! But we wanted more. And then it clicked. We couldn’t be the only ones facing this, looking for solutions right? Looking at cookbooks was a great option, until I started seeing the price tag, most of the cookbooks we found either had very few recipes, or they were simply priced too high for us to feel like they would provide us with enough value to justify the cost.
After experimenting, over the last 4 years, we have gathered all of our favorite recipes, making sure that all of the boxes has been checked ✅, and put them together in book form for all of YOU! We’ve done our best to keep our prices as low as possible, so that we can pack more recipes into each book. All graphics, design, and editing is done exclusively by us, in house, with friends and family testing recipes and helping us choose the best of the best to put in our books!
