How to Reduce Your Food Costs in 60 Minutes a Week

I'd like to add my voice to all those who are saying coupon clipping is a waste of time. Coupons are only for crap food. Eat in season and moderately and you'll save just as much money and not waste an hour clipping coupons.

Problem: Peach Plethora!

Depending on how big the peaches are, quarter them (or cut into 6ths or 8ths), lay a basil leaf agains one cut side and wrap the peach and basil in a very thin slice of proscutto. You can serve as is, or briefly grill to crisp the prosciutto and make the peach slice super juicy. also, you could make a version of salad caprese using peaches instead of tomato. Peaches are also great tossed with arugula and crumbled goat cheese or feta and tossed with a simple mustard vinaigrette.

Photo of the Day: Lamingtons

Lamingtons are one of the world's greatest foods. Just ask any Australian or New Zealander, especially ex-pats. It's almost impossible to make a good lamington. You really have to buy them.

Death by Veganism

Mr K, I'm with you all the way. I wonder how many of the people who have commented here are actually parents.

Death by Veganism

Maybe I'm being thick here, but how on earth could human breast milk be considered vegan? My understanding is that vegans do not consume any animal products, which surely would rule out breast milk.

Rachael Ray Will Endorse Your Product!

Here's what's really, uh, funny about Rachel Ray: She endorses all this crap food and then turns around and says she's helping fight childhood obesity.

Ed Levine, P.I.

Thanks for this! I live about 10 minutes from this and am really excited to find something new to try in the culinary wasteland that is Southern Westchester.

Coupons are usually for the really unhealthy foods. Unless I see an extraordinary deal on milk or cheese, I don't bother with them. I have two stores that I read the ads for - I don't waste my time with the others, because even if they have a few great sale items, I know I'll spend less overall by sticking with my top two. I write a 2 week menu and shopping list in Excel and plan around ingredients I already have on hand. I shop for produce at the market my husband works at.

It's a habit, and a fun routine, too. I have come to enjoy planning my menus.

Hah, PerkyMac! That's exactly where this discussion led me -- to my pantry, where I said, "Hey, I bet next week I could buy just fruit and milk and call it good."

Challenge yourself to a week or two of no grocery shopping at all, and making meals from what is left in your pantry, fridge and freezer - supplemented only with a small set $ amount for fresh dairy and produce if absolutely necessary. You'd be amazed at what you forgot you already had, and how creative you can be using it up.

Whataburger (the Texas chain)

I love hamburgers and never miss a chance to try a new one and never had a hamburger I didn't like. I read about hamburgers from all over the world.

But I never enjoy any hamburger at any price as much as a Whataburger. If I eat a Whataburger and nothing else I don't care if I eat another thing the rest of the day.

The Black Angus burger at Stoudt's brewpub in Adamstown PA is sublime. It's all about the bakery fresh roll baked on-premise

Boston is a pretty lousy burger town. It's a compeltel obsession with big huge mostrous pub burgers. That said, Abe and Louie's makes a kickass burger.

Shannon, which restaurant? I spent four months in the Tokyo area and had more than a few burgers; I'm hoping I tried yours!

I work in a restaurant in Tokyo japan, and we won 3rd best in the city... I have to say I love our burger. it is of the 'fat' kind. Big and juicy, and we add an asian tomato salsa that kicks butt.

other than that, I have loved all kinds of burgers all over. But I am now looking only to eat burgers from local raised non industrial beef. we need to stop ag biz madness and support our small farms.

Charlie Beinlich's in Wilmette(?), IL comes in first, followed by a Kobe Burger I had at the Bellagio in Vegas, followed by my dad's spicy burgers cooked during my childhood.

Maybe the Billy Goat should be on there, too...
