Recession Dinners

I stumbled upon this site today, called 5dollardinners.com which features family dinners, all made for $5 or less!  I am sure you will agree, this is an amazing feat, and in this economy, many families are looking for healthy, economical ways to prepare home cooked meals, while still sticking to our household budgets.

The recipes on the site are probably not going to suit all tastes, but, for $5, you can hardly expect foie gras and lobster.  What you can expect though, is honest home style food, made from basic ingredients that most of us have in our pantry, and ingredients that won't break the bank.

The very talented lady behind this site -  Erin Chase,  has a book in the works, which will be released in  January by St. Martins Press.  She's also been a guest on the Rachael Ray Show, and has an amazing following of fans of the $5 dinner.  In this economy, that doesn't surprise me!

I'm going to road test her repertoire of recipes this week, starting with her "Autumn Chicken" recipe which looks tasty and easy to make.   So if your interested in inexpensive meal choices, check out this site!
