I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this book. It is a quality book chalk full of recipes and ideas. Not only does it have your normal breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas, but it also contains kid friendly ideas, snacks, thrifty gift ideas and party ideas. I especially loved the Flashback candy recipes. I have made the Cracker toffee and it is amazing. Super easy and tastes wonderful. This cookbook not only gives you the recipe, but also variations! I can't wait to try out some of the new variations. I am sure these will be a hit this Christmas in my cookie/candy gift trays!
With the holidays approaching there are a ton of breakfast and brunch recipes in The Frugal Foodie to make this year a memorable one. If you are looking for some fun and exciting desserts to take to a get together, why not try the Dirt Cheap Self Filling Cupcakes, they are sure to be a hit! I recently made the chocolate cupcakes with the cream cheese filling. They are divine.
Since this is a money saving, bargain blog I am sure you all will love this book as it is right in line with my blog!
