I must confess that when I need some "cooking inspiration" I occasionally watch the Food Network's "Sandra's Money Saving Meals", "10 Dollar Dinners" and "Chopped". For several years I also subscribed to the cooking magazine, "Taste of Home".
Where do you find inspiration for feeding your family hearty, healthy, tasty, budget friendly meals?

I don't think I'm very inspired when it comes to cooking, ha ha.... I like Hillbilly Housewife. I used to look at cooking magazines, but it was so hard to find recipes with everyday ingredients that I pretty much gave up on that. The Company's Coming cookbooks are pretty good, too. Mostly I just browse the fridge and cupboards.

I also like Hillbilly Housewife. Her homemade chocolate syrup and sweetened condensed milk recipes are GREAT. When I need inspriation to continue cooking from scratch (one can literally save 50% or more on groceries), I pop over to the web-site for a few minutes.

I get inspiration from OLD cookbooks, and those cookbooks which point to frugal, healthy cooking. Also I I like websites that have recipes from the two world wars and the depression. I'm amazed at how well those wives and mothers kept things together in some very difficult times. ..

I don't like a lot of new cookbooks much either. Most of the recipes seem to be "add a can of brand name this to a box of brand name that, and top with a handful of brand name crumbs" Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Seriously... that isn't my idea of a recipe... lol
