Make Do with What You Have - 100 Delicious New Recipes from Favorite Old-School Meals

The New York Times bestselling author of The Way Home returns with 100 fantastic recipes--mouthwatering and budget friendly updates of her favorite childhood meals. From Kardea Brown: Growing up in a household with a single parent taught me how to make use of things we already had because money was simply tight. Even though my mother struggled, I never felt that struggle. I never skipped a meal because my mom was super resourceful. She made gourmet meals with simple pantry/fridge staples. With the rising cost of groceries, some families are forced to decide whether to put food on the table or keep the lights on in their homes. I am no stranger to "struggle", and I believe a cookbook of this kind is NECESSSARY . Make Do with What You Have offers dozens of recipes for every meal and occasion, good fulfilling food, inspired by her family''s Gullah cuisine, that doesn''t skim on flavor. RECIPES Breakfast --Geechee Egg Rice, Mom''s famous breakfast sandwiches. Lunch --Momma Pat''s Deli wraps, Not your average sloppy joe. Dinner --"The Poor Man''s Meal", Mom''s famous lasagna. Desserts --Grandma''s Bread pudding, Mom''s goodie bars. Filled with inviting and tasty food that won''t break the bank, illustrated with 120 color photos, Make Do with What You Have allows you to enjoy great meals every day.
