Frugal Intuition

Do you have someone in your life who loves to cook?  Here’s the ideal (and inexpensive) perfect gift.  See, there’s nothing that we foodies love more than trying new flavors.  My current latest obsession is sweet smoked paprika.  To my husband’s chagrin, I’ve been trying it on everything :D  But here’s the scoop…whether you check out the spice aisles of somewhere fancy like Whole Foods or Fresh Market or only have access to your local Kroger or Walmart, groceries are becoming more and more sophisticated in their selection of spices.  So if you get the chance, scope out your favorite cook’s spice rack and see what they don’t have.  Then pick up a jar or packet of something new.  Chances are you’ll find something wonderful for less than $5.  Then let your fingers do the walking and scope out an assortment of recipes online that incorporate that new spice.  There are plenty of online recipe card template s that you can use.  Put all the recipes you collect in the same template for a consistent presentation and wrap it up.  Voila.  If you’re lucky, the receiver will invite you over to dinner!
