The Frugal Food Girls: No-Waste Cookbook

By Carla Velarde and Ellyn Cory

After five years of loving food on a budget, the Frugal Food Girls were fed up. We were at the end of our Dietetic Internship and Master's Degree program, which meant we had no money, no time, and no energy. Meal planning takes a lot of time and effort, but wasting food is both unsustainable and expensive, especially when cooking for one. We realized we weren't the only people with this problem, so we decided to spend the last bit of our time and energy creating this book. Both of us have degrees in Nutrition and Dietetics; Ellyn with an emphasis in Culinary Arts and Carla with an emphasis in Food Innovation and Entrepreneurship. With backgrounds in both nutrition and culinary arts, our love for food runs deep. We bring you this book not only so you can save the planet and learn to cook, but so you can enjoy food like we do. This book includes some of our favorite ingredients and recipes created by us for you. It contains four weeks of simple dinner recipes. At the beginning of each Week, we provide you with a grocery list that includes all of the items you will need for those meals. We also include a Pantry List with items that are useful to have at all times and some basic cooking tips for new Chefs. Our hope for you is that these recipes help you to reconnect with food, or at least save you money for a month.
