A Frugal Feast

Season 12 Episode 1224 | 26m 46s

I remind you that cooking can be cost effective with a bit of creativity. And share a cost-cutting complete meal, with my Vegetable Soup with Poached Eggs. Then my friend, Mark Randall, a honey-maker, calls to discuss a traditional Italian cookie that he stretches into two desserts by adding them to his honey ice cream. And a Poached Chicken Giardiniera Salad easily makes two meals out of one.
