About Good Cheap Eats
Six kids. Southern California living. A $600/month grocery budget.
These seem to be incompatible circumstances, don’t they? But, our family is living proof that it can be done. Not only does our family eat, but we eat well. Thanks to cooking from scratch and making good use of the deep freeze, I am able to feed my family healthy, home cooked meals on a budget and make ends meet in the Golden State.
When I’m not chasing kids or washing mountains of laundry, I try to equip fellow moms and home managers with the tools they need to do their jobs well. LifeasMOM is my other little place on the web where I do that, hosting Frugal Friday and Ultimate Recipe Swap and regularly sharing Freezer Cooking Tips.
GoodCheapEats is where I index many of my recipes, focusing on affordable, delicious, and healthier meals that use more whole ingredients than processed foods. Homemade pizza? Oh yeah. Beans and rice? Of course. Homemade corn tortillas? Absolutely.
I also share product reviews, foodie giveaways, and other helpful tips for saving money on food. Whether you dine in or eat out, there are always good ways to eat well, act your wage and enjoy life.

Oh, Jessica, where have you been all my (adult, married with kids on budget, trying to cook from scratch) life? I can’t wait to delve into these archives and get cooking! *muah muah muah*

Thank you for your blogs! I have enjoyed this one and Life as Mom. I am trying to cook from scratch because I believe it is so much healthier for my family and your site has given me lots of recipes. Thanks again!

LOVE the picture: gorgeous and no doubt the inspiration for all the love you provide from your kitchen! I just know we’d be fast friends—tortilla making and all;).
