For the Econofest Project, I have shared some of my favorite tips and tricks for saving money in and out of the kitchen. Throughout the project, I have sited several sources that I would now like to combine for easy reference. Here are some of my favorite places to find great information on cooking, food, and saving money:
Eating Well: Website for the magazine, full of free recipes as well as health and diet information.
Everyday Food: Another magazine subscription, Everyday Food has started including recipes using pantry staples and budget items.
Food and Wine: Free recipes from the magazine, with information on wine (of course).
Ideal Bite: An excellent earth-friendly website that “offers bite-sized ideas for light green living.” Sign up for the daily email tips, like this one, to learn quick and easy strategies for saving the planet.
Love Food Hate Waste: A UK-based campaign to raise awareness and reduce food waste. The website is full of ideas, recipes, and information on reducing food waste.
MyRecipes.com: A recipe collection pulled from magazines such as Cooking Light, Real Simple, Southern Living, and more. This has an excellent enhanced search option and features interesting articles.
Real Age: More of a health site than food, Real Age does offer great nutritional advice and healthy recipes.
Real Simple: Not only a great online recipe collection, but other tidbits about cleaning, storage, organizing, and other nifty household tips.
Start Making Choices: Another health and fitness website, but with good advice on healthy cooking and budget-friendly shopping.
Vital Juice Daily: A website devoted to health of the mind, body and spirit. Offering free daily email tips, VJD has a “thirst for a healthy life” and shares this philosophy with readers.
WebMD: WebMD is more than a symptom checker website! Interesting articles on health and fitness, and tips on healthy cooking and eating.
wikiHow: User-edited how-to manual, find articles on a variety of food topics and cooking techniques.
Wise Bread: One of my favorite sites, Wise Bread has an awesome archive packed full of frugal ideas for house and home. It is a treasure chest of goodies for those looking to save money and possibly help save the planet.
Hopefully, the Econofest Project has helped everyone save a little money just in time for the holiday season. Use these resources to find more tips, tricks, and information on saving money. Be on the lookout for more recipes and special projects coming soon!
