This month we've been doing a $100 pantry challenge (just $100 to spend on food for the month, with the emphasis on using up what you've already got on-hand).

It's been great discovering uses for long-forgotten tins of lentils and stretching everything as far as it goes.

Whatever is in season also tends to be the cheapest, so unconsciously I've also been using the yummiest veggies!

I loved reading your story! We (the people at the market) actually talk about you (the people who want us to pack a bag for them of in season foods) for days after you come. I had one last week come up and say that all he had was $20 and nothing to cook, and I ended up giving him more food than he paid for becuase I was so excited. lol! <br /><br />If you want seasonal recipes for right now, I have a bunch on my blog to try. :) Getting fresh organic food for free can be a real inspiration. Just click under the 'local living' tag on the left side (the picture is the link) and it will take you to all my market foods recipes. <br /><br />I hope you do that every week. You will make that farmers market person very very happy. :)<br /><br />Val Oh I love market shoppers like you! I loved reading your story!

My MIL came to visit, she brough zucchini, tons of tomatoes, green peppers, melon and corn. THEN I went to pay the farmer for my beef and he gave me 30 ears of sweet corn straight from his field :) I was busy blanching corn yesterday LOL <br /><br />I think i will make this tomato zucchini casserole in mini form for her and I for lunch tomorrow, I was listening when you posted about that via email on the list :) This is such a fabulous post. i have been doing the same thing around here.

I've never had swiss chard before because I didn't know how I would eat it. I tend to lack imagination in the preparing vegetables department. These tasty dishes will be a great addition to my repertoire. These recipes look fantastic! I've never had swiss chard before because I didn't know how I would eat it.

Your little one is amazing and you are so fortunate that she eats as she does. You might want to consider using whole wheat English muffins to make homemade bread crumbs for the gratin. They are delicious and if you freeze a pack you can always be assured of having the makings of homemade bread crumbs. I hope you are having a great day. I really loved your gratin recipe.

The zucchini and tomato casserole is a fave of baby girl's too, but she loves the cheesy topping and zucchini! <br /><br />I'm going to have to try Panko instead of regular breadcrumbs. I bet it will be even better! You're amazing! The zucchini and tomato casserole is a fave of baby girl's too, but she loves the cheesy topping and zucchini!
