I have two goals here at Casual Kitchen: to help my readers become more empowered consumers, and to help my readers make cooking a bigger, better, and less expensive part of their lives.Most of the recipes you will find here will be amazingly inexpensive (or laughably cheap as I prefer to phrase it), and the advice you'll find here addresses things like getting faster and more efficient at cooking, how to cook great food for less money, how to cook for company, how to modify recipes, how to become less error-prone in the kitchen, how to save money on spices and cereal, or how to apply concepts like scale or the 80/20 Rule to cooking.

My FAQ
I wrote this quite a while ago, and it makes me cringe a little bit, but there it is. I reserve the right to change it at some point in the future when I get around to it.
