We are a birth mother and daughter, Donna and Anne, respectively, who reunited 27 years after Anne’s adoption. Primary among the many things we reconnected through was our shared love of food and cooking. After Donna published her first cookbook, we teamed up on “101 Things to Do With Tofu” and had such a great time we knew we’d have to do more joint food projects. With the economy in peril and with Anne being at home with her first baby, a food blog focusing on affordable cooking seemed like a natural!
Donna brings many years of cooking experience to Fab Frugal Food, including expertise in Southwestern cooking, while Anne’s posts offer more vegetarian, allergen-friendly, and other healthy fare (with some decadent exceptions, of course). Together we hope to inspire you AND learn from you as we go!

Dear Fab Frugal Femmes,
The blog rocks! It’s so pretty and really really really makes me want to eat (and cook, I guess). I can’t wait to try Donna’s carrot ginger soup. And grapefruit gelato may just be on the menu for this weekend – I know that will make Emma happy. I have to get back to work now, and I haven’t browsed everything, but I’ll be back.
Love,
Patty
Thank you, Patty!
We are new to blog-dom and are loving it! Anne and I have such a passion for food that we hope to share with the world.
Your critiques and comments are most welcome!

Hello! Your blog is great! I often turn to the internet for inspiration on what to cook for dinner, and now I have another fun place to go. Thanks! You have been bookmarked.
I would love some ideas from you gals of what to cook for young, picky kids. Also, I looked for the crepe recipe…I got all excitied after reading the description, but couldn’t find the recipe! Don’t leave me hanging! 
Michelle is my neighbor, so I could walk up and ask her, but I thought your take on it would be fun to know, too. I look forward to what you come up with next ! 
Hi Wendi! Glad you found us.
We’ll definitely share some ideas for picky kids. I (Anne) have a one year old, so food period is a new experience for her, but Donna, having raised FOUR kids, is quite adept in this area. Stay tuned!
Here’s the crepe recipe: http://www.fabfrugalfood.com/entrees/the-recipe-that-will-change-your-life-ricotta-stuffed-crepes
Enjoy!

HI Donna,
You are amazing. The tamales are great and I so appreciate your cooking class last night. Rather that make a traditional enchilada sause I took a cup of left over red sause in the frig, added a cup of tomato based bullion, added a spoon full of chili and some cumin. It’s light but tasty. Thanks again! Janice
