Frugal Foodie Lessons
The Frugal Foodie dishes up delicious recipes on a budget, but also serves up a few extras. I've learned to take better food photos. I've traded in my beat-up, mishmash collection of pots and pans for a set of cast-iron ones that distribute the heat evenly. After being scolded about the sad state of my knives, I remember to sharpen them ... well, more often than never. And, Dennis Marron, the chef at The Grille at Morrison House, helped my drawers go from this:

Marron says you really only need one of things. As you can see, I couldn't bring myself to throw away all the extra spoons and spatulas, but several of them did get tossed.

Next up, I buy a cutting board that won't make the chefs roll their eyes.
