PORTLAND, Maine — A chef from Rockland shared an affordable recipe this week, and it tastes great.
Lynn Archer is the owner and chef at Archer's on the Pier in Rockland. Earlier this year employees challenged her to make a week's worth of dinners for a family of four with a budget of $100.
Not only did Lynn accept the challenge, she even managed to include dessert. Her advice: look at the sales flyers in the newspaper, and don't just assume cheap equals unhealthy.
