Frugal and Wholesome:Homemade Blender Recipes


If you are like me, you don't use your blender nearly enough. See article for homemade butter, peanut butter, barbecue sauce, and homemade fruit spread blender recipes.

And some simple blender cream soup base recipes. And good number of blender recipes from Recipezaar.

Making meals from scratch can be a big cost saver, and is healthier in the long run. Using all natural ingredients is preferable to using prepackaged meals with ingredients you can't readily identify such as preservatives, food coloring and high fructose corn syrup. I've saved quite a bit cooking from scratch over the years. My all time favorite frugal cookbook is on my sidebar, More-with-Less, a Mennonite cooking from scratch on a budget cookbook.
