These are the recipes our family loves, the ones that have been tried and passed the test according to taste, simplicity, and frugality. These are not only recipes from An Oregon Cottage, but also ones from other sites that I use and like and thought you'd enjoy being able to access from one spot.
Remember, taking a few minutes (really- you can make it as simple or complicated as you want- I just plan dinners) to plan a menu is one of the keys to getting and keeping your food budget reigned in and simplifing meals, kitchen time, and, well, life.
