CookBooks – Help in the Recession

When my husband lost his job and I was the only one working, we both began to cut corners.  Our new budget worked out well for us as long as we stuck to it faithfully, and that meant not overspending on food.  Since my husband was now our official meal planner and maker, he invested in several cookbooks containing recipes which could feed an entire family for next to nothing.  He’s become the master of hearty stews, the king of casseroles, and an overall genius at cheap meals.  As a bonus, he has developed a love of cooking and has even created some of his own delicious meals out of cookbook recipes.
