I was tagged by Ariah at Trying to Follow to do this 'frugal food' meme. I have a particular interest in cooking and saving money, so this was fun!
1. Cheapest and Healthiest and Most Delicious Meal You’ve Made: Gnocchi is a cheap meal, consisting of flour and potatoes and egg or salt. With a tomato or alfredo sauce, it's almost 'gourmet'!
2. Cheapest Dessert recipe You’ve Made: The last two years, I've made pear pies with free pears when they've been in season. The cost was only in the crust- which involves flour and butter & sugar.
3. Cheapest Meal for a Large Group of People: Pizza Pasta casserole: serve 16-20. Sixty cents a serving.
4. Cheapest Vegetarian Meal You’ve Made: Most of our vegetarian cooking involves "grilled cheese and tomato soup". Gnocchi falls into this category too (see #1). More recently, I made a crockpot broccoli-egg-and-cheese casserole with free broccoli when we had friends over, that fed about 6.
5. Quickest Healthy Meal You’ve Made: Just Wednesday, I whipped up dinner for a surprise guest really quickly: Fish, broiled 3 minutes on each side, instant mashed potatoes, and steamed (free) broccoli.
I tag Ashley, Beth, and Kacie to try this out! Anyone else can play along on your own blog or leave your favorite frugal dish in the comments!

Could I have your recipe for the broccoli casserole? We just brought down our crock pot and are looking for recipes. :)
And yay for Gnocchi!
Thanks for posting these! I'm definitely going to try Gnocchi this week.
Thanks for tagging me, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to do this meme. :-) I have yet to sit down and figure out exactly how much my meals cost.
