Frugal dining doesn't have to be boring

I was reading the news this morning before writing this post and, oh man, it's scary what's going on in the world, isn't it? Even though Main St hasn't been hit as hard yet, I believe it is time to start buckling up for the rough ride ahead. However, I don't think that means we need to eat boring and tasteless food. This is the time to put on our creative hats and start making delicious foods on a budget. That's why I encourage you to check out and participate in… Continue

Ben, Mexican food is DH's and my passion. I'm going to comb your blog for some great ideas. We make it to Columbus about once a year. What's your fave Mexican restaurant there?

do you have a recipe for Tres Leche Cake? My granddaughter got one from the 'foodnetwork', but I would like to have a traditional one. Thanks.

Ok. She made the cake yesterday and put the milks on it. This morning it is still more milk than cake. She used the recipe from the food network by Alton Brown. I am afraid she didn't use enough flour or perhaps didn't mix each step long enough. Do you have any ideas?
I remember my flop was butterscotch pie and that was when I was a little older than she is now. She is almost 17 and loves to cook.

Hey! Thanks for the friend request!
My avatar is a pic I took of my very dear TopoGigio! I grew up watching the tv program. By the way, he's Italian but it was such a hit in all Latin America.
Veo que tienes varias recetas de origen mexicano,voy a intentar hacerlas. Yo soy Oaxaqueña y radico en Texas. (No encuentro comida "real" aquí) Trataré de subir algunas de mis recetas por aquí.

That 3 leches cake looks yumm!!!!Thanks for sharing!
