I come from the generation of 20-somethings that was born to mothers who burned bras, broke the glass ceiling in corporate America, and redefined the "American Woman". Somewhere in the revolution my mom forgot how to cook. Growing up our family dinners were typically of the boxed variety.



My first real attempt at cooking didn't occur until I moved in with Mr. Bart. And that's when the "Suzy Homemaker" gene kicked in. I scoured Food Network and Better Homes and Gardens for recipes and eventually my culinary skills grew. The problem was that we were easily spending $150 a week on groceries for 2. Add in dining out for lunch and on weekends and we were headed for a major budget crisis.



That is the inspiration for this blog. It is a collection of inexpensive, nutritional, and tasty meals.
