So anyway go тo вread got me a cookbook called Good & Cheap: Eating Well on $4 A Day

it's specifically four dollars a day because that is what the food stamp program does

also, any time someone buys a new copy of the book, they donate a matching copy to a family in need

anyway there's a recipe in there that made me go 'wow, i wanna make this' and that almost never happens

corn broth as a soup base made by boiling actual corn cobs

like. you cut the kernels off the cobs, and then you boil the cobs in water with a bay leaf to make the stock and then you add in the kernels and other ingredients to make a corn soup

... That actually sounds pretty darn good. >_>

Cool!

that sounds so good wtf

i might have to track this down, my goal for the new year is to be a healthier claire so this would be rly good

Good and Cheap - Workman Publishing

Another thing I like about the recipe is that all you have to do to make the soup vegan is...not cook the vegetables in butter

also every recipe has a note that shows how much the entire dish costs to make and the cost per serving

like, the corn soup is $5 total and $1.25 per serving

\o/

ohh that does sound good

That is an awesome book!

I've had the PDF kicking around a while, I keep meaning to buy an actual copy...

(It used to be available as a PDF for free, I believe?)

Aha, there it is, on her site.

Which is an earlier edition of the book, but still with a lot of good stuff.
