Here at FrackingFrugal, we are trying to save money in order to retire early.  That said, we are only willing to sacrifice so much of our lifestyle.  Recently, I have had a wonderful woman come in to my life who happens to be an exceptional cook.  Previously, in past relationships, I did most of the cooking.  This is no longer the case as I have been outclassed in a major way in the kitchen, but this is not to say that I don’t help prepare our meals and don’t still have a few dishes up my sleeve.  If you’re like me, then you read a lot of FI blogs, books, and articles and are always thirsting for more information.  I have read blogs where individuals’ subsist on steel oats alone and spend dollars on food a month.

We do not do that here.  Both “Frugalbyassociation” (my girlfriend) and yours truly, (Frugal1) are foodies.  We consider it cost savings to cook at home but not all of our meals are strictly speaking cheap.  So, in the cooking section, we will post recipes, mostly designed by Frugalbyassociation that are our favorites, post ingredients, costs, and directions for those we consider to be worth sharing.  We hope that you enjoy them and we hope to start spinning off a series of them coming soon.  Until then, best of luck on your journey to FIRE!
