Welcome to the new Frugal Family Food blog! I've started this space to keep track of and share many of the recipes that we've enjoyed in our own family. We are a family of 8---Dad, Mom, 4 sons, and 2 daughters. My husband retired from the Navy 1 year ago and we've since relocated to the beautiful state of Alabama. Since we're living off of his retirement check while he begins a home business (

- Healthy (no artificial colors/preservatives, minimal hydrogenated oils/fats, minimally processed foods, has nutritional value, etc.)
- Tastes great
- Cheap to make
I guess I should put in a disclaimer that not ALL recipes from hereforth will meet all 3 criteria to the degree that I desire, but those that don't will be the exception, rather than the rule.
So....let's get started! Homemade yogurt, anyone???
