Main Dish

This blog focuses on providing tasty, easy, simple recipes for hungry, frugal, cash-poor people. Or just about everyone at some point or another.

No, there's not a lot about me here. I'm a writer, cook, and normal person, most of the time. I'll tell you a little about my life in my posts, but the filler is the food, not my life story! Because, after all, "food is love." I hope you are filled to capacity. And remember to fill others, too!
