Friday Favorite Finds #143

Welcome to Friday.  This Friday is very special as it is my grandfather’s 87th birthday! 

I wish I could say that I learned all I know about cooking from my grandfather – but, that isn’t true.  He did teach me how to snitch cookie dough with a spoon from the bowl of my grandmother’s mixer :)  And, he taught me about good, real food (among many other wonderful things).  For that I am thankful.  Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

This week I’ve been putting together a document for the students in my course all about eating well on a budget!  My finds are from recipes I’ve recently found and will share with my students – they are all cheap to make, easy to prepare and some can even be made in the microwave (perfect for college dorms without full kitchens). 

All images are from the original recipe source, and linked through Pinterest;
please pin the source.

      Thanks for stopping by - Mareli. This linky is for recipes that you haven't tried yet, ones that you want to make (i.e., on your TO-TRY list). I do hope you'll come back next week and bring a post of all the recipes you want to try.

    I pinned every one of your pins! So fantastic cuz they were so simple! I've been a homemaker for over 30 years, and I never stop learning something new. You are remarkable for your wisdom at such a young age. To God be the Glory.
