The Budget-Friendly Chef

I originally used this blog to share healthy recipes that I made while receiving foodstamps as an Americorps*VISTA. Now, I am a VISTA alum and a full-time grad student working two jobs. I no longer qualify for foodstamps, but I am still on a very tight food budget. I use this blog to share recipes, voice my opinions on being healthy, and share how much I spend at the grocery store every week on food.
