    Biggest mistake people make in cooking is not saving that beautiful broth! Even if you dont have a pressure canner, it can be frozen in bags or in mason jars. Save that deliciousness! Use it in rice instead of water, or in noodles, or as soup base. So many things .love your content.

      My family eats a lot of Indian food because one family member is pescatarian. They have lots of vegetarian options made with lentils which are very inexpensive. Maybe some of these foods will help keep your meals healthy and interesting. Asian food can be inexpensive as well. Good luck to you.
