Tightwad Tuesday: Frugal Cooking Blogs We Love!

Okay, so even though we’re constantly hearing about all the great foodie deals around town, let’s face it: we can’t eat out every night! That’s why we’re loving these two blogs about how to cook at home on a budget.

Poor Girl Eats Well is written by Sacramento resident Kimberley Morales and we are consistently amazed by the dishes she puts together from items that we all probably have in the refrigerator! Her latest recipe for Pineapple Chicken Lettuce Wraps looks delish and at just $2.15 a serving it’s definitely affordable. In fact, her blog has become so popular, she was recently featured in the Sacramento Bee!

Another blogger to watch is Clara at Depression Cooking, a 93-year-old Sicilian-American who blogs about her experiences cooking during the Depression. Not only that, but her first cookbook, Clara’s Kitchen, will be released this October and is already available for pre-sale on Amazon.com! In the meantime, you can watch Clara prepare recipes like Pasta with Peas on her You Tube channel.
