Cool. Glad we’re still friends. I’d love for you to check out what’s new on Good Cheap Eats, including:
- Updated pictures and new step-by-step shots for each recipe – This includes a labeled ingredients shot so you can quickly asses if you’ve got what you need for the recipe or what you need to pick up at the store.
- Ingredient substitutions – In order to lower your grocery costs, it’s important to shop your kitchen and make substitutions based on what you have instead of spending more at the store. I’ve included some options to get your creative juices going.
- Gluten-free and vegan adaptations where applicable – With kids who have gluten-free and vegan needs and preferences, I know how important this is! I’m adding this information as we make thorough recipe tests.
- Jump-to-Recipe button as well as Advanced Table of Contents – Not only can you cut to the chase with the “jump to recipe” button, but you also scan the entire post to see what’s included, such as freezing or meal prep instructions, and make sure you don’t miss anything.
- Why Make This – At the top of each post I give you the gist of why the recipe or technique is worth your while. I value your time and want to make your experience in the kitchen the best it can be.
- Recipe costs and tips for saving more – Knowing how much a recipe costs to prepare can be super eye-opening. While your mileage may vary depending on where and how you shop, our recipe costs can give you an estimate as well as help you identify the recipes that will keep your grocery bills low.
- Reduction of the “life story” blogging – When you come for the food, we want you to be able to access it quickly without the fluff. We know your time is limited. (We can always connect in real time on Instagram @goodcheapeatsblog.)
- Starred recipe reviews – You can leave feedback and “vote” on your favorite recipes by clicking the stars on the recipe card or on the comment form when you leave a review. This is so helpful to me! Thank you for taking a minute to pop back to the post when you cook up a Good Cheap Eat!
