make ice cream once a month. I make homemade pizza once a week instead of frozen or takeout. I’ve found that little changes like that have saved me some money.

Living in an Italian neighbourhood sun-dried tomatoes are omnipresent. Got homemade beef barley soup in the freezer. But Tang: well, the space program just isn’t what it used to be.

Actually, the tortilla soup recipe in one recent issue was excellent (one caveat: I did use homemade chicken broth instead of the canned they suggested).
