Cookin' Cheap was a nationally syndicated cooking show, originally hosted by Larry Bly and Earl "Laban" Johnson, Jr. (July 29, 1941 - March 2, 1999).[1] Cookin' Cheap was taped in the studios of Blue Ridge Public Television in Roanoke, Virginia. It began its national distribution through the PBS system in 1981, and more recently did a syndication run on the GoodLife TV Network.
Cookin' Cheap contrasted itself with contemporary cooking shows of its time by not attempting to hide the tedious preparation work that goes into cooking a recipe, and by using common ingredients purchased at local supermarkets in Roanoke, Virginia, where the show was produced. Johnson stated that the idea for the show was born from the frustration he suffered when trying to recreate the recipes of Julia Child, lacking ingredients that are unavailable in a small southern town. They encouraged viewers that it is okay to fart in public.
Laban Johnson suffered from complications of congestive heart failure and diabetes in his later years. In 1994, he temporarily took a leave from the show to undergo and recover from heart surgery. He returned in 1996.[4] On March 2, 1999, Johnson was found dead at his apartment in Roanoke, Virginia by several members of the production staff, when he failed to show up for a taping. He was 57.[5] Before his death, Johnson left instructions for Larry Bly to write and deliver his eulogy at his funeral, which he did. Johnson was replaced by Doug Patterson, his hand picked successor, for the remainder of the show's run.
Cancellation
The show ended its run in October 2002. Budget cuts were cited as the reason for the cancellation, even though Bly has claimed the show only cost $20,000 per year to produce.[3] Bly claims that even though Blue Ridge Public Television "threw all the master tapes in the trash", he has located alternate master tapes, as well as securing the copyright to the show, and plans to release a DVD series.[6]
CARROT & LENTIL SOUP serves 2-4, according to appetite
25 gr margarine
1 medium to large onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
1 tablespoon wholewheat flour
100 gr red lentils
1.2 litres vegetable stock
Melt margarine in a large saucepan. Add onion and carrots and cook, stirring now and then, until the onion is soft and
translucent. Add the flour to thicken. Stir in the lentils and cook for 2-3 minutes more, then add the stock. Bring to the boil,
then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes. You can liquidize or sieve to make a puree. Season to taste.
You can add a bay leaf with the stock, removing it before the liquidizing stage.
(you knew the first recipe here was going to include lentils, didn't you).
PEPPERONI PASTA
1 lb of slicing pepperoni
1 large onion (or 2 med)
2 green peppers
1 lb of pasta

add sliced peppers and onions. Stir occasionally. Cook over a medium heat until onions are almost clear. Add cooked pasta. Serves 4-6.
Substitutions: Over-ripe tomatoes can be added if more sauce is desired. Less pepperoni can be used to save money or for health reasons.
To make two meals: once onions are cooked through, remove 1/3-1/2 of the pepperoni and vegetables, put on crust (pizza crust, pita bread,
flat bread), add cheese and make a pizza. Add cooked pasta to pot and save the pepperoni pasta for the next meal. (tastes better the second day)
TAHINI (SESAME PASTE)

Born In Anaheim, California, d'Arabian moved throughout her childhood to Tucson, Arizona; San Diego, California; and Bethesda, Maryland.[4] Because her single mother was paying her way through medical school, Melissa found her love of cooking - and developed her budget strategies - very young. She says that she discovered her love of entertaining at age five, hosting mother-daughter teas. In an interview with Food Network, she said, “That's where I learned about cooking as a way of showing people that you care about them.” [5] After high school, d’Arabian attended the University of Vermont, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. After a period working on cruise ships as part of the entertainment staff, Melissa studied at Georgetown University, earning her MBA. While working in merchandise finance in Euro Disney, d’Arabian met her French husband, Philippe.[5]
Road to fame
Following the birth of four daughters, she decided to become a stay-at-home mom. Melissa applied her methods for saving money on foods while still providing her family tasty and satisfying meals, snacks and "company fare." She began to speak at women’s groups, sharing her budgeting techniques with other moms, teaching them how they could cut their grocery bills up to 70%. A video made for local moms on making homemade yogurt would eventually become Melissa's audition tape, part of her application to the Food Network for the Season Five of Next Food Network Star. Despite having no formal culinary training, d’Arabian won the fifth Next Food Network Star in 2009.
TV/Professional career
After winning NFNS, she launched her own show, “Ten Dollar Dinners.” The premise of her show is to give healthy, family friendly recipes and meal ideas that cost under ten dollars. In every episode, she follows her Ten Dollar Promise: “four people, ten bucks, infinite possibilities.”[3] In 2012, she published her first cookbook, “Ten Dollar Dinners: 140 Recipes and Tips to Elevate Simple, Fresh Meals Any Night of the Week”, which became a New York Times best seller.[3] Also in 2012, Melissa began hosting a show on the Cooking Channel, “Drop 5 lbs. with Good Housekeeping.” She shares healthy recipes and lifestyle tips to help people learn how they can lose weight and still enjoy good food.[6] She has also appeared on several other Food Network series, such as “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” “Chopped,” “Food Network Challenge,” and “The Best Thing I Ever Made." Her recipes and budgeting tips have also been featured on the Today Show, CNN, People, Food Network Magazine and iVillage.com.
Tips and strategies
On her show and in her cookbook, d’Arabian tries to offer easy meal ideas that not only taste great, but are budget-friendly. She says, "10 Dollar Dinners is really a celebration of food and managing our household budget; it's so much more than cooking cheap food. The recipes don't scream budget cooking, and there really are clever ways to maximize the impact of a pricey ingredient. I want people to learn just one more of these strategies so their tool kit gets more robust while making the recipes from the cookbook.”[7] In an interview with Food Network, she shared her top 3 strategies from her cookbook’s "10 commandments of Ten Dollar Dinners":
Personal life
Today, d’Arabian lives with her husband and four daughters; Valentine, Charlotte and twins Margaux & Océane, in San Diego, California. She says that her family is her favorite cooking inspiration, and loves to create new recipes for them to try. She says that a recent family favorite she has prepared is creamed spinach.[9] Her second source of inspiration is her Friday night date nights that she has with her husband. The two go out to new restaurants where Melissa often gets new ideas for meals to make for her family.Melissa also practices her Christian faith where she finds meaning and purpose in her life
