Economical and Wholesome Foods

Wholesome and acceptable substitutes may be used in place of some of the more expensive foods, as, for instance, meat, butter, and maple sirup.

The “staff of life” is the cheapest of foods. The thrifty housewife will provide a large variety of breads, and will prepare some of the expensive articles in the form of toasts.

The old-fashioned vegetables are economical, and the cook should know a variety of wholesome ways of preparing them.

—The use of some of the dried fruits—prunes, raisins, apples, apricots, pears—to replace in part the fresh fruit, may add variety and cut the cost.

Avoid monotony by having a large variety of foods, and preparing them in unaccustomed ways; but do not have a large variety at one meal.

Give attention to the service, the linen, silverware, dishes, flowers. Garnishes. Music.
