Frugal Frolic's Fantastic Cookbook and Web Recipe Resources List

Ok, so I've talked about stocking a pantry, meal planning... but what if you need a little inspiration? I know that *I* do quite often! Well, here's a little help. This is a list of print and web resources for frugal cooks of all types. These are resources that will help you be successful! I especially like the web sites where you can plug in the ingredients you have, and it gives you recipe ideas for those items. Note: This is a work in progress -- if you have a resource you think belongs on this list, thank in advance for letting me know by making a comment! Thanks, and enjoy!
