My name is Jennifer and I live in Orlando with my husband. When I'm not working, I'm in my kitchen cooking healthy, cheap meals for myself and my husband. I discovered not too long ago that a lot of chemicals and additives are put in many grocery items that are commonly used for convenience. Since then, I have tried to come up with inexpensive, quick recipes for things from pasta sauces to salad dressings. I'm definitely not a pro at cooking, but I am learning more everyday!
