Most of these items you probably have on hand already. If you use what you have in your pantry you’ll find that being frugal is easy. Budget cooking has a lot to do with using what you have already in your home.

These chocolate muffins are delectable. Make them for breakfast, movie night or just to get everyone around the table together for a few minutes.

These are great to have on hand, to pack in lunches, or to freeze for later.

You’re going to love them. And so is everyone else.. You’ll thank me later.
