As a matter of fact I am enjoying leftovers from last night, crystal's bean burgers. I thought my family would hate them but I made it anyway and now it is a regular on the menu. Great site all around for living frugally and cooking with less processed foods. Community Tags frugal recipes, frugal food, low cost meals Discuss this article
