Two years ago, if you’d told me I would be taking sponsored trips to Seattle, have my recipes featured in the paper on a semi-regular basis, and be unofficially dubbed Sacramento’s frugal food “guru”, I would have told you that you were on crack. Life being what it is, however, all of these things and more are happening to me, all because of my little baby, my pet project, my almost accidental career: Poor Girl Eats Well. And I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for every single moment!

Just like PGEW’s 1st-year birthday, the 2nd birthday has been a wild ride filled with crazy life ups & downs, awesome new opportunities, and, of course, plenty of good food. Here are some highlights and some of my favorite recipes from PGEW’s second year…

Hey, everyone…

For those who don’t follow me on social media and weren’t aware, the reason why I have been away for so long is that I was attacked by a trespasser at my apartment complex back in February. I was starting to write some big long things to process it all, but I realize I’m STILL not ready for all that. It hurts too much.

Suffice it to say that I received some pretty bad physical injuries and horrific mental and emotional ones. I was punched in the face and ended up with a bad nasal contusion; I was pulled off the stairs by my hair and thrown into the bushes, where I was punched repeatedly in the head. I tried to defend myself, but the woman who did this to me was experienced in the assault, and it was best for me to protect myself rather than try fighting back. I was bruised, had cuts on my head, a concussion, and a badly sprained thumb, which was a result of her stepping on my hand repeatedly as I tried reaching for my phone so that I could call someone… anyone.

I can still see my fingers reaching through the wet dirt, trying to get to my phone as she kept punching my head over and over again.

It took about 3 months before I could wear my glasses comfortably again, and almost as long for my thumb to heal and be used again. But the emotional scars, the flashbacks, the nightmares from the trauma… those are going to take much longer to heal.

My voice was taken from me these last few months. Not because I didn’t have ideas or the desire to write, but because I’m still terrified. Four months later, I still live in fear even though she’s in custody (though, part of that is because our trespasser issues have increased over the past few months). I live in fear of how to pay the $10,000 hospital bill from that day, just when I was trying to get myself back on track financially. I am trying so hard to live a “normal” life because if I don’t, I will absolutely lose it. But trying is the best I can do right now.

The good news is that it does get easier every day to do the trying. The support I received, and continue to receive from my friends is overwhelming, and absolutely why I am doing this well, all things considered. I’m very busy at work, so that helps keeps my mind busy, though the first couple of weeks after the attack were too physically and mentally painful for me to make it through. My gas is still shut off at home, but I’m making great strides with my makeshift kitchen set up, and hope to have everything back up and running by the fall or winter.

I’m trying.

In the meantime, I’ve kept up as much as I could on social media, and have shared some fun meals on Instagram, many of which have become quite popular. The next recipe is one of those, the response to it so overwhelming, that I just had to take the plunge and post. I can’t guarantee my writing will be any good for a while, but I’ll do my best. I just wanted to let you all know what was going on, and thank you for the continued positive vibes and patience. It’s helped me more than you will ever know.

Stay tuned for the next recipe! It’ll be a healthy, but fun one. YES, you can have both at the same time!

Love,

Kimberly

Photo Friday: The Church Cafeteria

Every city in the world has its hidden gems: attractions, sights, sounds or even food that can’t be found on the latest tourist brochures, the kinds of things only the locals know and love. Sacramento has plenty of its own special treasures, and it’s been fun to explore my small area of the Cap City to discover these fantastic experiences. One of my favorites: the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church’s Sunday mini food festival.

It started out innocently enough: resourceful churchgoers got together to make a couple of treats for folks to enjoy during after-Mass mingling. At first, it was just a churro stand and a couple dudes making tacos. But a couple weekends ago, I realized they’d taken things one step further: that sweet little taco stand had turned into the most deliciously random full-fledged social/lunch hour in Sacramento.

Now, I’m not sure if the current set up is a year-round thing or only in place for the colder weather, but as of this writing, they seem to turn their small gym/cafeteria space into a makeshift dining area every Sunday. There, churchgoers and passersby can stop in between Masses, order sensational, homemade Mexican food, and catch up with each other and the news of the week. From homemade tamales to authentic tacos al pastor, elotes with cheese, and even the less traditional bacon-wrapped jalapeño dogs, there’s something for everyone…

It’s hard to be patient when the food is so good…

Bacon-wrapped Jalapeño Dogs

Hangin’ out & shopping for trinkets, candy, and churros…

Chopping carne asada for some tacos al pastor…

Speaking of tacos… (In a word: AMAZING!)

Good food, good convo – what more does one need on a Sunday afternoon?

For me, there’s nothing better on a Sunday than stopping by this random food fest after a run at the farmer’s market, picking up some tacos de lengua and carne asada, and a churro for dessert. Now that I’ve divulged this secret, I’ll probably have to wait in line a bit longer, but it’ll be well worth it. The quality and authenticity of the food you can score here rivals that of any restaurant’s, and the price? With the most expensive item topping out at just $3, even Poor Girls (and boys) can afford to treat themselves every now & then.

New recipes coming up shortly! Happy Friday, everyone!

Recipe: My Birthday French Toast

Kimberly A. Morales — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 14:38:54 +0000

Rate this post

My Birthday French Toast would be a great idea for all of you to make a surprise gift with love for your beloved people. A healthy, exotic, and tasty dish at just a super affordable price, guys!

Well, here it is. My birthday. Today I turn 33 and I have no clue how I got here so fast. I remember it seeming like an impossible age to be, and here I am, feeling just like I did when I was 19 (only with slightly sorer joints). Things aren’t perfect, but then again whose life is? I have a lot to be thankful for, though: I have my little site and all you awesome readers, I have my health, a great new job, some pretty great friends and family; life’s not too bad. Since most of my friends and family are nowhere near me, and not having a special guy in my life to spoil me on my special day (which also means I have no man-headaches, so WOO HOO for singlehood! But I digress.), I figure it falls upon me to spoil myself rotten today. I have decided to start with a sinfully delicious breakfast.

I’ve been craving French toast for awhile now, but without eggs it has been impossible to indulge in it. Taking advantage of the first relatively free weekend in a long time, I went to a few different stores last Sunday and took care of the eggless problem. I’m sure the basics of the recipe I’ve tweaked & improved over the years are similar to many other French toast recipes you may have encountered over the years, though I do like to add a couple things to mine. My finished product always has something sweet on top, but I also like for my actual toast to have a little bit of flavor, so I add vanilla and a bit of cinnamon to mine. Growing up, my mom usually topped my French toast with butter & cinnamon sugar as opposed to maple syrup (SO good!) and I still like serve mine that way these days. However, I wanted to add a little something extra today, and the cinnamon apples & raisins seemed like they’d go perfectly with my already cinnamon-y French toast.

This is one of those rare PGEW moments when I post a recipe that is not somewhat healthy, so indulge in the sinfulness! I did make a slight effort to reduce the sinful factor by using non-fat milk and some egg whites in my egg mixture, but otherwise this is a rather rich breakfast. Howerver, this is a special occasion; it’s not like I eat breakfast like this everyday (in fact, those three pieces in the photo will probably be my breakfast for the rest of the week, they’re so filling!), so a little indulgence is okay every now & then. Just remember this when serving, so that you don’t inadvertently give yourself or your guests a serious blood sugar spike. If you have thick cut bread, by all means use it! I only used what I had available to me this morning, but French toast is always better when the bread is nice & thick. And if you’re a raisin-phobe, feel free to skip them. I just happen to love how raisins, apples, and cinnamon all go together like they’re food soul mates. Anyway, I’m forgetting the best part about this! The low low LOW price per serving of about $1.33! Usually one would pay about $8 for a few slices of dried out French toast at your local greasy spoon. This French toast is moist, tasty, and not at all like what you’d find in restaurants, so you can’t beat that when coupled with the price! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Though I would have preferred to serve mine with a candle… oh well, there’s always this evening’s happenings!

My Birthday French Toast – (serves 2; total cost per serving: $1.33)

4 slices thick cut bread
3 large eggs + 1 egg white
2 T nonfat milk
1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 t vanilla extract
Cooking spray

1 medium apple
1/4 c golden raisins (Thompson seedless are fine if you can’t find the golden ones)
1/3 c sugar
1 heaping T cinnamon
Few drops of lemon juice
2 T butter

Combine the cinnamon & sugar for the cinnamon apples and mix until thoroughly combined. Chop the apple into ½” cubes and place in a bowl along with the raisins and the lemon juice (this protects the apple against discoloration). Add the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss everything together well. Melt the butter in a small pan and add the apple mixture (including all the cinnamon sugar!). Sautee lightly until the apples soften slightly and the raisins begin to plump. The fruit will create its own syrup. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, egg white, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon, and whisk together vigorously. Heat a medium skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium high heat. While skillet is heating, dip one slice of bread in the egg mixture, making sure both sides are completely coated and that the bread slightly absorbs the egg. Place the bread in the skillet and heat until the bottom begins to turn a golden brown and the edges begin to dry a bit, about 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bread. Flip onto the other side and cook in the same manner for about another couple of minutes. Remove from heat and place on a covered plate and cook the rest of the French toast.

Place a couple slices onto a plate, spoon a generous amount of the apples & raisins along with plenty of fruity syrup, and enjoy!

Recipe: Colcannon Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Kimberly A. Morales — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 14:20:03 +0000

5/5 - (2 votes)

Colcannon Stuffed Baked Potatoes is a marriage of Irish colcannon and potato. You can eat these delicious and flexible baked potatoes every day like me. I’m addicted to them!

When I stop to think about some of my favorite foods from around the world, I realize that a lot of them are actually quite simple. Soups of almost any variety, rice dishes like jambalaya and paella, “pocket” food like empanadas, burritos and other wrapped food delights – all of these are remarkably simple foods made from regular, everyday ingredients that have been thrown together in different ways, usually out of sheer necessity. It’s the execution of these ideas that has made these dishes withstand the tests of time and many, many tastings.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph95Cbo_g_4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaPcRO5EQcI

I can’t help but marvel at the resourcefulness we humans seem to be equipped with, no matter how hard the situations we face. Really, a lot of our favorite “exotic” dishes are actually meals that were put together because there was nothing else on hand and you had to improvise with what was available. And the results have been phenomenal. From something as simple as cut up tortillas and eggs, we get chilaquiles, a fabulous Mexican breakfast dish that is now on brunch menus everywhere for upwards of $10 a plate. Some meat, potatoes, yucca and plantains in a highly flavorful broth becomes a delicious Colombian sancocho, while a good roux with some fresh shellfish and spicy stock turns into a wonderfully fragrant gumbo.

Across the pond and a couple notches down on the spice scale, but still quite delicious, we find another one of these dishes that was born from necessity and became a classic: colcannon, a traditional Irish dish made with potatoes and either cabbage or kale. As you can imagine, the cheap staples of potatoes and hearty greens made it easy to make a dish like this without breaking the bank, and with the difficulties Ireland has struggled with historically, simple dishes like these became true staples.

Nowadays, colcannon is enjoyed at any time, especially when kale when it comes into season. It is also served to celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, which is what I’m doing today, of course. I’m just doing it Poor Girl style by throwing it back into a baked potato.

I’d been jonesin’ for a good baked potato lately, probably due to the spectacular spuds from the Co-op that had been flirting with me from Big Bowl. At just $0.89/lb for such organic perfection, I couldn’t help but stock up on them last week, but I hadn’t gotten around to actually enjoying one. When I remembered that St. Patty’s Day was right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to whip up some colcannon instead. But then I decided I could have the best of both worlds: a baked potato filled with rich, creamy colcannon, flecked with deep green kale and smoky bacon. In a word: delicious!

There are many reasons to love colcannon, especially in PGEW land. It tastes good (always a good start), it’s inexpensive, and almost impossibly easy to make. But my favorite thing about colcannon is that it’s really, really versatile. No kale? Use cabbage instead. Not a fan of bacon or ham, which are commonly used in colcannon recipes? Simply omit the tasty swine products and enjoy a meatless colcannon (it makes an excellent Meatless Monday side dish, btw). No dietary restrictions at all? Even better! Knock yourself out and toss in the kale, the cabbage, the bacon and the scallions, and plenty of butter for a rich, comforting side that the whole family will love.

Speaking of versatility… colcannon is usually made with boiled potatoes, and that’s a fine method to use if you want to go the easy route. But in my world, boiled potatoes are so… blah. They just sit there, all alone and forlorn in a pot of hot water, boiling away in boredom. Granted, that’s how most wonderful potato recipes start off, but I just feel bad for the poor things; surely there must be a more exciting way to be prepared! There are several, of course, but one of my favorite methods for cooking potatoes is to bake them. It requires little to no effort, and the end result of the texture is pure, velvety perfection.

This method works great for this particular recipe because you’re killing two birds with one stone: not only are your “shells” ready to go once the baking is over, but the base of the colcannon is ready, too. It takes some careful handling to remove the flesh from the potato without burning yourself, but I’ve done colcannon both ways and have to admit I prefer the baked version over the boiled. Baking just offers a better texture and flavor to the potatoes.

Other than that, there’s not much to note! Enjoy these as a hearty side for a St. Patty’s Day dinner, or for a little twist on the usual baked potato. It’s a delicious, easy-to-prepare recipe that’s sure to earn a spot on regular rotation for busy weeknight meals. Let’s check out the recipe!

Colcannon Stuffed Baked Potatoes (makes 4 servings; total cost per serving: $2)

Ingredients
4 large Russet potatoes
1 c nonfat milk
4 T (1/2 stick) butter
1 small bunch of kale, finely chopped
3-4 scallions, finely chopped
6 strips of cooked bacon, finely chopped
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Gently wash the potatoes well and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub the skin with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Pierce the potato several times with a fork, then bake for about 40 minutes or until the potato is cooked all the way through. (If you’re really pressed for time, you can also microwave your potatoes, but it’s not recommended.)

2. In the meantime, put a large pot of well-salted water to boil. When it comes to a full boil, toss in the chopped kale and blanch for no more than 30 seconds. Remove from water and place into a bowl with ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.

3. When the potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for several minutes, until ready to handle. Carefully cut each potato down the middle and gently scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Add the milk and butter and mix until smooth. Next, add the chopped kale, scallions and bacon, and stir together well. Check for flavoring and adjust according to taste with salt & pepper.

4. Spoon generous amounts of colcannon into each baked potato shell. If you like, you can return them to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until golden brown on top, or simply serve as is. Top with an extra pat of butter, sprinkle a bit more black pepper on top for good measure, and enjoy!

Recipe: Easy Peach Crisp with Special K Granola

Kimberly A. Morales — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 14:03:53 +0000

4.7/5 - (3 votes)

Easy Peach Crisp with SGranolapecial K is a wonderful summer breakfast or dessert filled with a lightly sweetened crisp topping and fresh peach.

I never thought it would last this long, but believe it or not, I’m still working through my box of Special K Touch of Honey Granola that was so graciously bestowed upon several of us Foodbuzz Tastemakers recently. So far it seems like a lot of you have been enjoying my first Special K recipe, the Breakfast Bananas Foster Parfaits, but who said granola was just for breakfast? Since I’m down to the last couple of cups of this yummy cereal, and the bottom of a cereal bag is usually made up of…. well, crumbs, I thought this would make the perfect topping for a baked dessert.

This dessert is so easy to make that it’s almost unfair, but what makes it even more amazing is how much healthier it is than your standard fruit crisp. There is literally NO extra sugar, NO butter or shortening of any kind, and it still tastes incredibly delicious. And it’s cheeeeeeap! You can make four of these fabulous little desserts for under $3. That’s just $0.75 per dessert! So how in the world can something so inexpensive and healthy taste anywhere near good? Spices, baby! Nutmeg and cinnamon enhance the naturally sweet goodness of the peaches, and since the granola is already sweetened with just a bit of honey, it all comes together beautifully. Those of you lucky enough to have access to your own preserved peaches will find this even more delicious, I’m sure, but I used canned peaches with great results. Lastly, if you don’t have ramekins to bake these in, no worries! You can put the whole thing in a small baking dish and you’ll be fine. But I highly suggest investing in some small ramekins at some point! You can find them at any kitchen store or even discount stores nowadays, and you’ll find you’ll use them for more than just fun little baked things

Okay, it’s time for dessert!

Easy Peach Crisp with Special K Granola (makes 4 individual desserts; total cost per serving: $0.75)2 cans of sliced peaches, drained
1 c Special K Touch of Honey Granola
1/8 t ground cinnamon
1/8 t ground nutmeg
2 T honeyPreheat the oven to 400°. Place the peach slices in a medium bowl and add the honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and about 1/3 cup of the granola, and mix together until completely combined. Place the peach mixture into the ramekins, sprinkle with extra granola, and bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is nice & bubbly. Serve by themselves or with a small side of vanilla ice cream or yogurt, and enjoy!

The $25 Shopping Cart, v. 18.0 – Extreme Edition

5/5 - (2 votes)

It’s been a LOOOOONG time since I’ve done one of these, and yet we’re still all the way up to #18! Pretty cool, and what an adventure it was.

My health being what it’s been lately, it’s become harder for me to find the best place to work (I still have hope that I can find the right work environment that will be accommodating of my condition), so I’ve been bare bonesin’ it like crazy lately! I “splurged” in the mornings during the #PGEWbreakfastchallenge, but otherwise I’ve been keeping things really lean around here.

It’s not so bad, though. I rather like the way I have to get super resourceful during leaner times. Boosts the creative juices and all. But even if I’m good at making the most out of random scraps of this, that and the other, I eventually run out of ingredients. And the ones I run out of most frequently, as I’m sure is the case with most folks, is the produce.

I get very nervous when I’m out of avocados… and tomatoes, but that’s a WHOLE other blog post. (Seriously, winter/spring is sheer agony for fresh tomato lovers!)

Now, I would normally go to my favorite Sunday farmers’ market for my produce fix, but the situation was pretty dire. I’d been completely unable to move or walk for three weeks because of a pretty terrible PRE-herpetic Neuralgia flare (yeeeee), so I was out of a lot. Because my condition is considered an autoimmune disorder, I absolutely have to eat as balanced as possible so I stay as healthy as I can. That means a lot of fruits and vegetables (though back in the day before I got sick, I could get away with just bare bones staples on their own). While it might seem like waiting a few days for the farmers’ market wouldn’t hurt, I’ve learned the hard way that it actually does! So this was an emergency fresh food run.

Since I only had the $25 for food and nothing else (not even bus fare… eek!), I needed to find a place that would be A) within somewhat reasonable walking distance because I was still hobbling, B) really cheap, and C) had fairly decent produce. The only place that really fit that description in my area was, believe it or not, Food Source.

I did a $25 Shopping Cart run at Food Source a few years ago and left quite content with my purchases. Prices were even better back then, so I was able to get a decent amount of food. But we all know food prices aren’t going anywhere but UP, and that makes it a little tougher to tackle this challenge. Still, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, so shop for fruits and veggies (and kitty food!) I would do. Without further ado, here’s the list of what I got:

6 avocados @ 2 for $0.98 – $2.94
1.53 lbs bananas @ $0.58/lb – $0.89
2 bunches of cilantro (4 bunches for $0.98) – $0.49
1 English cucumber – $1.09
1 2.62 lb head of green cabbage (3 lbs for $1.00) – $0.87
1 2 lb bag key limes – $2.99
3 lemons @ $0.39/each – $1.17
2 mangos @ $0.69/each – $1.38
1 8 oz. package of white mushrooms – $1.69
1 bag reduced-for-quick-sale hot house tomatoes (not sure the weight but about 4lbs) – $1.00 (!!!)
1.81 lbs roma tomatoes @ $0.68/lb – $1.23
2 Serrano chiles @ $0.89/lb – $0.06
18 large eggs – $2.79
4 cans Friskies kitty food for StuKitty @ $0.58/each – $2.32
2 packs turkey & rice baby food for Beni (my 17.5 year old kitty who’s having a hard time right now) – $2.36

Grand Total: $23.46!!!

Now, before some folks get a bit worked up, yes… I realize my produce was not organic and that my eggs came in a styrofoam container. I hate that. I’m used to knowing how my produce is grown because I usually get it at the farmers’ market and ask my farmers how they do things (the majority use the same pesticide-free practices the big organic farms do; they just can’t afford that uber expensive certification). I also abhor styrofoam. But like I said earlier, this was an emergency food run and I had to do what was needed for survival mode.

Like limes. This lime shortage is going to put a damper on summertime! Yay for key limes still being semi-affordable, though.

And that’s just it. I get a lot of flack from some who say I should promote this diet or that, or that eating a particular type of food is the ONLY correct way to eat (Ohhh, sanctimonious eaters… just live and let eat! No one method is “right” for everyone.). But that’s not what this blog is about. This blog is about survival and making the most of what you have when you have it.

What I had this time was $25 in cash and the need for enough ingredients to stretch out what I had at home until I get another job or my next blog revenue payment comes in. When I have the means available, I do pay more for things like cage-free eggs, organic produce and sustainably raised meats, and have no problem at all doing so. But when every. single. penny. counts like it does right now, some of those (wrongly) overpriced items are, unfortunately, not an option.

Don’t get me wrong – in the long run, it is definitely possible to buy organic and sustainable foods and not have it break the bank completely. I’ve done it before. But again… the current focus is on survival when you have absolutely NO financial cushion whatsoever. Here’s a reality check: not everyone has a savings account with an emergency fund, or a spare credit card for “just in case” purchases. Some people truly have only what’s in their coin purses and that’s it. It’s not always easy to understand that if you’re not living it, but that is the reality for many folks these days. I hope that changes sooner rather than later.

So again, as much as I would love to buy organic produce or the freshest cage-free eggs in more environmentally friendly containers, when things are as tight as they’ve been, I do what I have to do. And I know there are several families who live like this everyday. I totally get it. And you shouldn’t feel judged for doing the best you can with what you have available, especially when you’re still making an effort to eat as many real foods as possible. Better that than a frozen single serve pizza laden with sodium and fat, or something from the nearest fast food joint.

*steps off soapbox*

ANYWAY…

What do I plan to make with all this deliciousness? The possibilities are endless! I have a fair amount of brown rice and farro, a little bit of pasta, a tiny bit of quinoa, and plenty of dried legumes. Oh! And a whole chicken just waiting to be roasted and used a dozen ways. So when I add the new produce to these Bare Bones staples and other ingredients, I can do a LOT. Including…

Tangy Coleslaw Quinoa Salad
Mushroom Fajita Omelette
Quinoa with Mushrooms, Tomatoes & Scallions
Caribbean Jerk Chicken & Mango Stuffed Avocados (hey, when mangos & avocados are that cheap, I’m going to make this!)
Chunky Pico de Gallo (and possibly an attempt at my mom’s salsa fresca) to put with my eggs
Black Bean, Chicken & Mango Stew
Curry Chicken Tacos with Thai Cucumber Relish
And a slew of random new things that I’m sure to come up with whilst playing in the kitchen, like a new farro salad that just popped into my head as I typed this.

Of course, I’m not going to have all of these things, but you get a general idea of what could be done with my new purchases and what was already in my kitchen. I could also just make a ginormous chopped salad or pot of soup and call it a day. Again, these are just suggestions to keep things fun and exciting at mealtime, even if times are tight. Remember, the $25 Shopping Cart method of food shopping is for those extremely lean financial times when you have to stretch out what you have at home as much as possible. It’s not your everyday food shopping mode. This is why doing inventory before I go shopping is so important. Helps me make my reverse shopping list, or Things I Don’t Need To Buy At This Time.

Which gives me a bit more wiggle room to buy random scores like these slightly overripe tomatoes… about 4lbs for just $1! Hellooooo, salsa fresca!

If you take anything away from my $25 Shopping Cart posts it’s this: never leave the house without taking inventory from your fridge and cupboards first. Like I just said, this will save you money by not double-buying what you already have at home (happens to be best of us). You’ll also know what you have to work with, so that when you’re shopping you can decide what items will go best with what’s in your kitchen. Other than that, have at it! This is YOUR shopping run, so feel free to buy the things YOU like, not what’s on my list (unless you really like ‘em too, haha).

That’s it for this edition of The $25 Shopping Cart! If you’re into stretching out that food dollar a bit more, stay tuned over the next few weeks as I touch upon some ways to work around the higher prices and food shortages that are affecting many of us this year. It’s certainly made things more challenging for me, and I’d like to help make this a bit easier on all of us. New recipes, a recap of the #PGEWbreakfastchallenge, and the unveiling of Tip #16 coming soon! : )
