Recipes

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a food post here at Mr. Tako Escapes, but that doesn’t mean food isn’t ultra-important here at Chez Tako!  Behind the scenes I’m making delicious meals on a budget that hovers around $500/month for four people.

I’m still a big believer in controlling the way we purchase, prepare, and consume food.  It’s an important way to build wealth…

Woohoo!  Today marks the two-year anniversary of MrTakoEscapes!  Yes, I’ve been blogging for two full years now!  With 206 posts published, I figured somebody would have tried to stop me by now!

In celebration of this personal milestone, I decided to take a little break from my usual posts and celebrate with the ultimate in decadent beverages…

A couple weeks ago I posted a picture of my favorite homemade tacos.  It was part of a post called “A Financially Independent Life Is A Good Life”.  In the comments, I briefly mentioned that if there was enough demand, I would post the recipe.

Well, the internet ended-up going absolutely wild over this suggestion…

One of the great many chains that tie people to working 9-to-5 jobs for decades, is convenience food.  Yes, convenience food!  Many individuals eat lunch outside their workplace every single day — either at a restaurant or picking up take-out from a nearby restaurant.

At $5 – $20 for every lunch, this is an extremely expensive way to attain calories for your mid-day meal.  Over time, those yuppie food coupons really add up…

It’s no secret that the Tako family loves a good meal. We routinely post pictures of our meals on this site — because I firmly believe you don’t have to sacrifice good living to reach financial independence! Our grocery spending usually amounts to a mere $500 per month.

For us, eating well is just part of living a good life. Over the past few years our diet has changed considerably…

Hey folks, I’ve teased and hinted at this recipe for awhile now, but it’s finally here! It took me forever to get this one just right! Finally though, I have a delicious Phad Thai recipe that you *can actually replicate* at home.

Yes, you read that correctly — Phad Thai at home that doesn’t suck…
