Why didn't I think of this sooner?

While thinking about what I should eat for lunch today, I thought of something I could write about. Food. I love to eat and cook. In-fact I think about food all the time. What if I were to write a blog about eating and cooking healthy on a budget? I’m constantly looking for opportunities to cook and/or eat out.

My problem is money. When you want to make a dish from a cookbook or from a TV show, you have to have cash to spend. One type of food I love the most is Spanish food. I am Hispanic, but I can’t cook Spanish food. We’ll I can—but I would not dare serve it to anyone else. When I want rice and beans I usually just order. Although local Spanish food tends to be delicious at a low cost, the portions are big and not very figure flattering.

I would like to add that this is a constant conversation between my boyfriend and I. He who didn’t know avocados and guacamole are related. He loves to eat cheap and mostly thinks that cheap food has to be unhealthy; most people think that way.

So here I am. It’s hard to eat in and out on a very strict grocery budget. How will I stay healthy, cook healthy and stay fed on little cash.
