A few folks have asked for an entry on Cheap, Healthy Vegetarian meals (to go with the Beef, Pork, and Seafood ones). I was thinkin' that might be a bit overwhelming, so I reorganized the links last night instead. From now on, if a featured meal is meatless, it will go under the lovely "Recipes: Vegetarian" link to the lower right. There are already 27 dishes in there, which - yay!

Oo! Also! I added another link section for food that take 15 minutes or less to make. There aren't many recipes there yet, but it's a start. If y'all have any other ideas about CHG organization, I'd love to hear 'em.
