As mom of three and an accountant graduate, I enjoyed food photography and writing recipes. My husband and children are my biggest fan and supporter also most of my recipes develop are inexpensive (making my own home cooked meals decrease my family's expenses) ... so who says eating on a budget has to be boring.
