Need to Eat

I have been thinking a lot about writing a food blog. I don't want to come off as some boho foodie (if they even exist). I want to strike a cord with people just like me. Where are the people who understand when I say, "broke doesn't even begin to explain it and my kid still needs to eat,"?

Even as I type I am listening to my 7 month old wail away in her crib, oh not because she is starving I assure you, it's because she is so over tired and well, that is a whole other blog. My four year old has asked seven times to use the computer to play games and poor mommy never gets a second in edgewise! No wonder it has taken me this long to start a food blog! O.k. enough complaining!

I am sure everyone has had a struggle in their lives even if it doesn't have to do with money, but my main issues seem to only deal with money right now (always) so here we go.

If you need to eat, and I assume you do, then you need money right? Well what does a mother, do when money is tight and dinner needs to be on the table regardless? Check it out:

I am going to break this down into a sort of process, I am still working out the steps myself. Maybe I'll use Roman numerals or some other way to make it easier on all of us. Ignore my grammer while we're at it too, I graduated from college over 10 years ago and I haven't really used my brain since then.

My first blog (starting tomorrow if I am lucky) with deal with the tools of cooking. What should you use? Use what you have. What do you have? Where to get what you need on the cheap cheap cheap!!! All that good stuff!

Hey I just started using a used electric frying pan. I am going to look into newer versions of the super cooker tonight and get back to you tomorrow! Stay tuned and all that garbage! Oh and don't worry I have plans for you even if you don't have the means for the electric fry pan too!
