In between paychecks, $8 left in your bank account, nothing but ramen in the cupboard and that fat kitty sleeping on the couch. Before you resort to extreme measures, I attempt to create or duplicate low cost, but high flavor recipes from my own twisted mind and the internet. I will provide cook-times, approximate cost, and recipes for things that I make up and things that I find on cooking shows or online.Carebohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00518026112733984941noreply@blogger.comBlogger5125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867691909187200273.post-42930633484688803392009-12-30T00:56:00.001-05:002009-12-30T13:38:47.341-05:005-Minute SalsaCook Time: about 5 minutes
