It’s a challenge feeding a family of four, which includes an 18-year-old boy and two rapidly growing young girls, on an extremely tight budget. Fortunately, I was recently gifted about 170 pounds of beef by my parents, so I had a full freezer, but I had to get creative. There were steaks, a ton of roast cuts, many cubed steaks and many, many more bags and patties of hamburger meat. It’s good and a blessing, to be sure, but it also means getting creative or getting bored quickly. Fortunately, getting creative in the kitchen is one of my favorite things to do. You’ll get lots of recipes here - and lots of dishes that aren’t really recipes, but rather basic guidelines for how I’ve thrown something together. I do that a lot - and I get lucky most of the time. My kids are willing to go along with my experiments, and more often than not, I’m greeted by heaps of praise around the kitchen table.Don’t worry - it’s not ALL going to be beef either. Even with something different every single night, we quickly bore of even a running ingredient theme for very long.
