Food shopping for the holidays is going to hit home because when you see that number flashing on the cash register, it will most likely hurt! With inflation being what it is thanks to this world financial meltdown, it’s going to cost a lot more to buy food for your guests this year.
If you are entertaining during the holidays a lot of the ingredients you bought last year will cost you much more this year. You will either have to find more cost-effective versions of your favourite recipes or you’ll have to explore brand new ideas.
It’s obvious that this tighter financial environment will give way to many creative twists on old favourites and in a few years when things return to normal, we’ll look back and we’ll be very appreciative for the lessons we were able to learn.
I have a few trusted sources for new recipes and I’ve got to tell you that I had never associated Food & Wine recipes with being recession-proof, but they recently created a lineup of 15 recipes that required few ingredients, but that were still quite tasty and have a wow factor when it comes to presentation.
I know that I’ve already started looking at different of their recipes and I already have four of the 15 recession-proof recipes from Food & Wine on my list of MUST-TRIES for the holiday season!
You can use many of these delicious recession-proof recipes as part of your holiday menu for more casual dinner parties, or these make for great everyday cooking ideas year-round.
You’ll find great ideas like Chantilly Potatoes with Parmesan Crust (YUM!), Spicy Roast Chicken (OMG – Oh my God!), Caramelized Broccoli with Garlic (I cannot wait to try this one) and Apple Dumplings (my kind of simple dessert) to name a few!

15 affordable and delicious weekend stews!
As I was finishing up this post, I received another newsletter from Food & Wine and opened and was greeted by 15 delicious looking stews! I find stews so comforting during the colder months and I’m always quite happy to discover new recipes.
Some of the mouth-watering recipes include Iraqi Lamb and Eggplant Stew with Pitas; Fish Stew with Peppers, Almonds and Saffron; Scottish Beef Stew; San Francisco Seafood Stew; and Beer-Braised Chicken Stew with Fava Beans and Peas.
