Eating Well on a Budget
Do we have any other Pioneer Woman fans here? Right now, you can get The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier (Enhanced) for just $3.99 on Kindle ($29.99 list price). I have this cookbook, and it’s filled with gorgeous photography and delicious recipes. Perfect if you use your iPad in the kitchen for reading recipes like I do! Be sure to verify the price before you check out, as Amazon Deals don’t last long.
One of the reasons why I started this food blog was to have favorite family recipes in one spot. This is Swiss Steak Recipe is one such recipe. Bob (a.k.a. “Dad” to me and “Pa” to my kids) has been making this recipe for quite some time. It’s one of my husband’s favorites. He brought out his recipe card yesterday and made it for a family gathering. We serve it on top of homemade German Spaetzle Noodles. Very easy, very yummy!
My husband’s handwriting is a little hard to read!
Frugal Tip: Find recipes you love that use cheaper cuts of meat. When you simmer and cook them slowly, they become tender and flavorful. You could also speed up the process and make this in a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker is great for tenderizing tough cuts of meat in a relatively short period of time.
