Recessipes. Ever heard of them? Neither had we. This clever new term, coined by the Food Network earlier this year, combines "recipes" with "recession," and describes dishes and meals that'll keep both your stomach and wallet full in today's tough times. These recipes can help you whip up delicious, hearty-sized meals for a reasonable price, so you can save your money for big things (like next semester's overpriced textbooks).
Our favorite people at the Food Network have discovered more people are searching the network's Web site for healthy recipes that won't put a dent in their wallets. In response, the network created recessipes. Now, people across the country are posting cheap, delicious recipes on blogs and cooking forums, tuning in to top chefs' how-to videos about inexpensive meals and even tweeting about reasonably-priced recipes.
Check out some budget-friendly recipes to keep your tastebuds happy and your checkbook at peace. If you feel like you've got to start cutting down on spending, recessipes may just be your new favorite thing.
Keep craving!
