The cost of everything is getting out of hand.  As a family on a fixed income we are coming up with different things to keep costs down to a minimum.  I don't think we are alone!

A great start is using our own spice, seasoning and gravy mixes.  I'll add to the following list as I find articles and videos for a wide variety.

Ree's Chicken-Fried Steak with Gravy

"Ree Drummond's top-rated comfort food recipe star's crispy, juicy cube steaks and a creamy country gravy with plenty of black pepper.  To achieve just the right flavor, Ree dredges her steak in a flour mixture that's been enhanced with paprika and cayenne. Topped with cream gravy, this is a cowboy classic on a whole new level." - comment from Food Network Kitchen.

She makes everything look good!  This is one of my favorite foods and her recipe is a great example of how it is made.  Extreme respect!

"These delicate, buttery cookies, which get their crunchy texture from toasted pecans and a sugar coating, practically melt in your mouth." - comment about the cookie from Martha Stewart.com.

They sound like the best cookies ever that I would love to try!  How about crumbling a cookie over a bowl of butter pecan ice cream?
