A lot of people would like to cut their food costs, but don't know how to get started in a kitchen. Too many of us never learned how to do much more than heat up something that someone else has made.

It's really not that hard, and you can save an unbelievable amount of money by cutting up a few vegetables and pieces of meat, and cooking them yourself.

I've pared my own food budget down to approximately $15 per person per week. That includes 21 meals per week, with sufficient protein and calories for an active adult.

I'll be sharing some of the things I've already learned, and whatever new ideas and techniques I can find.
