I got to review "Wildly Affordable Organic: Eat Fabulous Food, Get Healthy, and Save the Planet All on $5 a Day or Less" by Linda Watson. This is a really awesome book.I love that there are seasonal menus with shopping lists included right in the book. They include prices for totally organic products as as well as the thrifty alternative when you need to save money.
These lists are so thorough that they included everything down to the spices and the % you should have left of each at the end of the month if you use the menu plans.
There is quite a large portion of the book devoted to simple, delicious recipes that will satisfy your tummy without breaking the bank.
Recipes come in these great categories:
Basics
Breakfast
Beans, Beautiful Beans
Breads
Eggs and Potatoes
Vegetables and Side Dishes
Deserts
Many of the recipes are vegan for those who desire a meatless diet.
