"Let's make supper doable again."
The whole idea

Groceries cost more. Dinner does not have to get complicated.

I came up in a kitchen where the ice box was empty more often than it was full. You learn things in a kitchen like that. How to make a dollar feed a family. This book is forty-five recipes plus pantry tricks, written out plain, the way I'd tell 'em to you across the counter.

"Pantry first, store second. That's the Mabel way."

What you can cook this week

Open your cupboard before you open your wallet.

These are the kinds of meals Mabel built the book around, the ones that make a tight grocery week feel less tight.

1

Stretch-a-pound suppers

Turn a little meat, a bag of potatoes, or a pot of beans into a table full of food.

2

Pantry-first dinners

Reach for rice, noodles, canned goods, flour, eggs, and leftovers before making another store run.

3

Sweet old-fashioned treats

Make the banana puddin', cobbler, sheet cake, and simple desserts people ask for again.

What's inside

Seven chapters. Forty-five recipes.

Every recipe has a little note from me at the bottom, the kind of thing that makes it work the first time. That's where the magic hides.

A word from Mabel's kitchen

The kind of relief this cookbook is built to create.

"I wrote this for the weeks when the grocery money runs out before the week does. Every recipe got cooked in a real kitchen, on a real budget, for real hungry people."

From Mabel's introduction

"No fancy ingredients in here. Beans, potatoes, rice, flour, a can of this and a can of that. If it is not in your pantry already, it is one cheap aisle away."

On the ingredients

"Cheap doesn't mean sad. These are the suppers and sweets folks ask for twice, made for pennies a plate."

Pull up a chair, sugar.

"A recipe ain't loved till it's a little bit ruined."

You came for my banana puddin', and you stayed for the whole table. That tickles me to no end, honey. These are forty-five recipes I've cooked my whole life, the kind that turn a bag of beans, a sack of potatoes, and whatever's gettin' soft on the counter into somethin' your people ask for again.

So splatter these pages. Dog-ear your favorites. Make 'em yours.
