A perfect and irresistible idea: A cookbook filled with delicious, healthful recipes created for everyone on a tight budget. While studying food policy as a master’s candidate at NYU, Leanne Brown asked a simple yet critical question: How well can a person eat on the $4 a day given by SNAP, the U.S. government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program informally known as food stamps? The answer is surprisingly well: Broiled Tilapia with Lime, Spicy Pulled Pork, Green Chile and Cheddar Quesadillas, Vegetable Jambalaya, Beet and Chickpea Salad—even desserts like Coconut Chocolate Cookies and Peach Coffee Cake. In addition to creating nutritious recipes that maximize every ingredient and use economical cooking methods, Ms. Brown gives tips on shopping; on creating pantry basics; on mastering certain staples—pizza dough, flour tortillas—and saucy extras that make everything taste better, like spice oil and tzatziki; and how to make fundamentally smart, healthful food choices. The idea for Good and Cheap is already proving itself. The author launched a Kickstarter campaign to self-publish and fund the buy one/give one model. Hundreds of thousands of viewers watched her video and donated $145,000, and national media are paying attention. Even high-profile chefs and food writers have taken note—like Mark Bittman, who retweeted the link to the campaign; Francis Lam, who called it “Terrific!”; and Michael Pollan, who cited it as a “cool kickstarter.” In the same way that TOMS turned inexpensive, stylish shoes into a larger do-good movement, Good and Cheap is poised to become a cookbook that every food lover with a conscience will embrace.

How to eat healthy while living on a shoestring budget?Well this subject is right in my wheelhouse. I have been balancing out the two for my entire life. When I say that I live on a very small income I am not just saying so for effect. I really am living below the poverty level right now as we speak, and have lived below the poverty level for most of my life.I eat better foods and also bigger quantities of those foods more than anyone that I know also. And I do so while spending far less than the average person does on food who probably eats about half the calories that I eat. We are what we eat.This is the truth. my beliefs are that we all should strive to fuel our bodies with the best foods possible so that we can be the fittest, healthiest, most vibrant, people that our bodies will allow us to be. Your going to get something a bit different here, because I am actually going to converse with you based on what I am doing right now in real time. This is not just some high school report about how to budget your groceries into your life written by someone who isnt even doing it themselves. By the time you are done reading this you are going to not only know how to shop for the best foods and keep them within your budget. But you are also going to learn how to be in tune with your body, and know exactly what it is that are the best sources for your body to burn as fuel in order to live and feel at your best. This is more than just a book about grocery shopping on a budget.Single people and families all can save hundreds of dollars a month on groceries if they just learned more about their own bodies and what it is that they personally run best on as far as fuel (food) goes. These are my BIG 4 things I say to avoid.* Processed foods * Refined sugars * Bad fats * Chemicals and preservatives Once a person can eliminate those things from their life, we will start to feel drastic changes in the way we feel, and eventually even in the way we even look.Even if you decide to not read my book at least take those 4 simple things and try and avoid them like the plague, and you will be on the right track to a healthier way of eating.But for those of you who are going to join me in this conversation, I look forward to speaking with you on the other side.
