Now that Caleb's eating more, I'm finding it even more challening to fit all our food into $100! I have to confess, I've already over spent a couple of times this year (and it's only January!!). Well, we have to eat. If I change the limit, I'll update the site to reflect that. It will still be budget cooking, just budget cooking for 2 adults and one toddler with a big appetite! I read that they go through a finicky period where you worry that they're starving themselves, but we haven't hit that yet.

I think two of these recipes have red wine in them. I bought a bottle for a recipe last week. They say that you should never cook with wine you wouldn't drink. I've always assumed that means you should buy expensive stuff. Well since I don't generally drink it, I just bought what was cheapest.
