Emily @ Life in Cincinnati White Bean & Ham Soup
http://lifeincincinnati.com/?p=2374
Today I have a warm, comforting recipe for soup that uses a leftover ham bone and dried white beans to makes a great meal for a cold, winter evening. Warm cornbread with plenty of real butter is the perfect pair to this frugal, simple soup.

A really simple, affordable, delicious pumpkin tortilla soup. Using chipotle pepper gives it a bit of heat and smokey flavor. It’s also completely vegan although my family uses a bit of shredded cheddar as a garnish. This recipe is a great way to use pumpkin all year around in a savory way!

Keeping Austin Weird with Smoked Duck Tostadas with Guajillo Salsa, Fried Black Beans and Avocado.. Thinly-sliced apple wood-smoked duck breast, toasted guajillo salsa, crèma Mexicana, pickled red onions & jalapeños, field greens with cilantro, fresh avocado, fried black beans and pumpkin-balsamic vinaigrette. If this doesn’t wake up your senses, you may need to consult a trained medical professional. Yes, smoked duck breast is a little spendy, but you use so little of it that this is still a really frugal dish!

These healthy, delicious crepes are a delightful dessert. The best part is that they’re economical! They’re made from ingredients you may have on hand already.

Minimal Knead Sourdough Sandwich Bread

I love sourdough and believe it is much better healthwise than yeast bread. I’ve been playing with my sourdough to make a sandwich style bread that requires very little hands on time and kneading.

Do you know your farmer?

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that whole, organic, local food can be very cost effective once you find the right sources. I posted about a recent trip to a nearby farm.

Where Do You Shop?
http://gnowfglins.com/2009/12/03/where-do-you-shop/

My post today re-visits where we shop for food. We always look for the best deal on healthy food, but we counter that with our desire to find local and natural sources of food.
