On a break!

Just letting everyone know that I’ll be taking a break from Frugal Pinoy – in case you haven’t noticed it already. I’m just so busy with my freelance work and other projects, that I have to invest more time in them for a while.

I hope to be back with fresh new posts mid-May. Still, I might post a few times when I find the chance – I just won’t be posting as often. If you want to be automatically updated when I have a new post, then feel free to sign up to receive Frugal Pinoy posts via email.

Thanks for the patience If you want to contribute a guest post while I’m on a break, feel free to reach me via the contact form.

Thanks again,

Celine

4 Must-Visit Websites for the Frugal Cook

I’ve always loved cooking my own meals at home. Not only is it cheaper, but it’s a great way to bond with your family, experiment with different ingredients, and personalize dishes according to your taste.

If you love cooking just as much as I do, you’ll benefit from checking out the following websites listed below. They prove to be good references whenever I need answers to my storage, preparation, and other cooking questions.

Still Tasty is a website that tells you the shelf life of food items in your house. Apart from telling you the shelf life, you also get some tips on how to store these items properly so you can keep them fresh.

I’ve mentioned Super Cook in the past, but I’m including it on this list because it’s one of the most useful cooking sites out there. Basically, you input the ingredients you have and the site tells you what you can cook with it. It comes in handy during those late night snacks or rainy days where you can’t go out to the grocery.

Want to cook your main meals just once a month? The Freezer Cooking Guide contains the basic things you need to do to plan once a month batch cooking. This site is especially helpful for busy professionals. The guide doesn’t contain recipes though. For those recipes, you can visit the batch cooking section of BigOven.com.

How about you, do you have any frugal cooking sites to share? Please post them in the comments section
