Frugal Food

January 4th, 2007 at 09:13 am

Today I:

Baked a loaf of whole wheat bread.

Made homemade tacos for dinner using a bunch of individual spices instead of from a mix. Healthier and with no fillers.

Cut up a 2 and a half pound pot roast into chunks to make chili tomorrow. If I had bought the pre-cut beef it would have cost twice as much for just under half the amount.

There will be enough chili leftover to package a family size meal for the freezer.

    Sounds like a typical day around here, too! I love to read about what people do to save money. Smile

    Are you willing to share your bread recipe. I am interested in grinding wheat and getting my family off of "fake wheat" grocery bread.
    Thanks.

    Home-made bread is the best.

    Vizsla, when you look at the ingredients of store-bought bread, avoid those with "wheat flour" listed as this stuff is ground so fine it's just like white flour.

    Go with the loaves that list "whole wheat flour" in their ingredients. Apparently, there's a big difference.

    (Maybe you knew all this already.)

    Vizsla, I posted the recipe in a separate entry in my blog.

    Yeah, I use a frugal food formula too. It goes from tacos to sloppy joes to chinese stir fry to stews to casseroles to chilli. It never get boring Smile
