Welcome!

The decision to create this site came after a long, meandering conversation about food with someone who calls himself Jack. Jack knows a thing or two about the appreciation of good food (and good food conversations). By a curious coincidence, my name is also Jack. Sort of. I too know a thing or two about the appreciation of good food (and good food conversations) and seem to be having more of these lately. Viola, yet another internet food blog is born!

I'm trying to live much healthier and more frugally at the same time. This has required some creativity in the kitchen. I'll be posting recipies for healthy and cheap (and delicious) meals as I come across them.  Whenever possible I'll indicate how much the ingredients cost me. Note: when I do this I'm going to assume you have a well stocked pantry with all the "basics". More on that later.

Of course, things won't always be cheap (or healthy) but hopefully they'll always be delicious. I'll post pictures as often as possible, and use labels that'll hopefully make the site easy to navigate. 

So from one "Jack" to another, thanks for the inspiration to do what I've been meaning to do for a while. Now, there's dinner to prepare!
