Thrift
USDA
Food Plans
The official
cost of feeding a family in America. I consider the Thrifty Plan a
bit generous, but if you need a place to start, it's as good as any.
If you're trying to get your grocery bill as low as possible, I don't
recommend you go any lower than half the amount of the Thrifty Plan.
And then be sure to supplement your diet with home grown or wild
picked fruits and vegetables. If you have special dietary needs then
the amount for the Thrifty Plan should be enough, assuming you shop
carefully and cook most things from scratch.
Feeding
America: The Historic American Cookbook Project
PDF and html, large
collection of antique cookbooks from the late eighteen century to the
early twentieth century. If you have a good printer you can get
dozens of new cookbooks, for only the cost of paper and ink. If your
printer is not so great, you can still waste a lot of time exploring
these books online.

best collections of free homemaking e-books on the web. Very Highly Recommended.
Low
Budget Vegetarian
This book is a guide to a Low
Budget Vegetarian
style of planning and cooking meals. It is written for novice cooks,
and people who want to make vegetarian food part of their diet, but
don't know how to get started. Charlie Obert, the author, has some
really amazing ideas on cooking philosophy and specifically
seasoning. His treatment of regional seasoning gave me a lot of
inspiration to develop my own ideas in this area.

a Vegetarian. Even if You Think You Can’t Do It. Even If You
Think It’s Way Too Hard. Even If You Have Tried & Failed Before.
This book requires an email address. After confirming your email it
will give you a link to the book. The book is also available on the
site itself to be read in HTML. I really enjoyed this one. It gave me
a lot of encouragement.
Vitalita
This site has 2 free
cookbooks in PDF format. Both are vegan and 90% of the recipes are
gluten-free. The author describes his cooking philosophy as
"Nutrient Dense" and after reading the books, I would have
to concur. The books are titled A
Taste of Vitality
and Desserts of Vitality.
Both can be downloaded from this
page. Both are
beautifully illustrated.

Acres Biblical Nutrition 101
A study guide entited Biblical
Nutrition 101.
Interesting ideas about health and diet, based on biblical
principles. I don't agree with every bit of it, but did learn some
new things which is always a plus.

Sites of Doctors with Books
All of these sites represent
variations on a theme. Essentially the recommended diet is a very
low-fat, mostly vegan diet, with emphasis on fresh fruits,
vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Some allow fat free dairy
products. Other allow fish and seafood. I don't necessarily agree
with any of these sites 100%, but I do think there are pearls of
wisdom to be found.
