40-something wife and Mom who's biggest kick is cookin' cheap and flavorful. A day of frugal living is only fun if you have a good dinner after!
I tend not to post my recipes because I cook by the seat of my pants. No, not *on* the seat...
I cook with what's available and draw liberally from my spice carousel. Just spin that thing like the money wheel on "The Price is Right"! My friend says I should open a restuarant. We've decided to call it "Whatchagot Cafe".
