My friend Erin from $5 Dinners is going to be on the Rachael Ray show tomorrow! (Tuesday, April 21st.) As the title of her blog suggests, she’s all about preparing economical meals, and she got herself a gig up in the big city to tell all about it on national television.
Erin wrote to the Rachael [...]
