Inspired by Erin at $5 Dinners, I am going to start keeping track of how much my dinners cost. She breaks down her meals ingredient by ingredient to show everyone just how possible it is to serve nutritious, yummy food on a budget. I have decided that I am going to do the same with my meals, since the main idea of my blog is to show that it is possible to have a healthy, organic lifestyle on a budget. While Erin's goal may be $5 or less a meal, I do not have a goal yet, though I can assure you that it will always be less than $10! I will post recipes, or at least menus, with cost breakdowns for our dinners as they are eaten.
