Grilled Beef Gyros

Shared on July 25, 2014

Grilled Beef Gyros Today I am posting about beef (specifically, grilled beef gyros). After all, it's what's for dinner. I know, I know.

Grilled Salmon with Spicy Teriyaki Sauce (recipe)

Shared on June 20, 2013

Grilled Salmon with Spicy Teriyaki Sauce Okay, I know "frugal" and "fish" don't usually go hand in hand. Unless of course, you're talking fish sticks. But let's be honest, who really wants to talk about fish sticks? In my opinion, the word fish was never intended to be used as an adjective for stick. Anyway, back to real fish. I think a great benefit of living the frugal lifestyle most of the time is that it allows you to splurge some of the time. And really appreciate it. Enter fish. It is generally not cheap, but it's fun to throw in the menu every now and then when you have a special occasion and some wiggle room in the budget. I'll be the Keep Reading
