Welcome to my food blog of abstemious living.

For years I have been trying to live on twenty five bucks a week for my food. When I first started doing it, I did it for the challenge. Today in our economy it is a necessity for survival.

Junk food offers zero nutrition but it is cheap. The goal of this site is to instruct those of you who want to learn and share knowledge of eating a healthy diet. Enjoying good food without having to sacrifice quality of life. I enjoy using coupons but I am not good at spending the time to collect them. Also I find they limit my choices. So I am trying to show you how to do this without coupons.

As I post menus for the week and offer some cooking classes on quick, easy inexpensive meals, I welcome your comments and suggestions. I will have guests and friends who love to share their budget saving recipes with me come and share them with you. From time to time I will offer cooking schools to teach you in a live setting. I will have a weeks menu 52 weeks of the year. Enjoy.
