Here's How One Cook Is Transforming How People On Food Stamps Eat Dinner

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as SNAP or food stamps, helps low- and no-income people in the U.S. purchase food. Sounds awesome, right? The downside is a day's worth of food stamps is only about $4, whiiiich isn't very much money. So grad student Leanne Brown created a cookbook that shows how to stretch that $4 to create a variety of healthy and delicious meals! Just thinking of all the people who are going to benefit from this book makes me love the project even more.
