All parents struggle with Christmas gifts for teachers, coaches, friends, etc. As a former teacher, I can tell you that you will never go wrong with food! (good food, that is) I have done a few things over the years that got rave reviews, and were very inexpensive. Of course, I’m willing to share! Cake [...]
This recipe was given to me by my friend Lori. It’s amazing that many people don’t know how to make this old standby, including me before she gave this to me. “It’s one of my standbys for kid appeal. I almost didn’t send it, because it seems such a basic one; however, I can’t tell [...]
Cube Steak is one of the most inexpensive cuts of meat, and until recently I’ve never had a recipe that I liked. And Country Fried Steak is another one of those Southern dishes this Italian girl NEVER would’ve imagined eating! I found this recipe on About.com: Southern Food, and loved it.

Warning: This recipe will not be appearing in “30 Minute Meals.” This Chicken and Dumplings is definitely food of love. It takes a total of about 90 minutes to cook. However, that also has some boiling time built in, so you can work in other tasks. It’s not fast, but it is cheap! I used [...]
Beans Beans, the musical fruit,the more you eat the more you… um, can fit in your suit! …because they’re healthy, too. Yeah, that’s it. Anyway… A lot of people are intimidated by cooking with dried beans. You see the bags in the grocery store for $.99, but you think, “What would I do with them?” [...]

I guarantee this recipe is the easiest and yummiest barbecue chicken you have ever tasted! My mother-in-law introduced me to this recipe. I purchased chicken breasts this week for $2.50 / lb at Harris Teeter, so I made this for a friend who is going through a hard time right now. Barbecue Chicken (6-8 servings, [...]

I had planned to post a cheap and delicious Christmas gift today, Friendship Soup Mix, but I realized that we need to do something with the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving! So I’m going to stick with the soup theme (because soup is usually cheap!), and share what I will be cooking this weekend! Turkey Corn [...]
