I stopped watching my favorite cooking shows about two years ago. These were programs that formed bonds with each chef. It was heart-breaking at times as I quickly snuffed off another channel while they concocted yet another fabulous treat. But, since my salary became whittled with pay cuts, I found it seemingly impossible to purchase the grocery list. No sense in wasting a good 1/2 hour of my time enjoying the preparation, but unable to reap the benefits of the desired fare.
I had resolved to the fact that my home style cooking may have to become a bit bland due to the cost of items that were no longer in the budget. I began to come across my own version of famous recipes with add-ins I could afford. So here, in this blog, is my version of a delectable food that any budget can afford.
Below is a recipe to make your own seasoning blend. This comes in handy when you need a quick add to soups and stews. It also makes a great hamburger or steak topper. Also works well in omelets with eggs. Quick and easy, you’ll find this easy to keep a good quantity in your freezer at all times.
Don’t forget to get items when they are on sale or at your local whole foods discount store. I’ve picked up peppers for 4 for $1, mushrooms for 69 cents, and red onions for 69 cents at the shop.
1 red or white onion chopped
2 green peppers chopped
1 pd. mushrooms sliced
fresh herbs (optional like tarragon or parsley)
Chop all ingredients and place into a Ziploc bag. Toss contents and place directly into freezer. No need to cook. Just pull out handfuls as needed. Enjoy! Log onto: Living On Food Banks to sign up for new recipe posts!
