<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. -->


This template is intended as a meta-template: a template used for constructing other templates. it is not meant for use directly in an article, but can be used on a one-off basis if required. See [[Help:Infobox]] for an introduction to infoboxes and information on how to design them. See [[:Category:Infobox templates]] for specific infobox templates.
[[File:cheapfoodforhardtimes.jpg]]


=== Usage ===
    In this day with the economy in the state it is , we are all suffering to make ends meet and put food on the table.  Existence
Usage is similar to {{tl|navbox}}, but with an additional distinction. Each row on the table can either be a "header", or it can have a label/data pair, or it can just be a data cell. These are mutually exclusive states so if you define a row to be both a header and a label/data pair, the label/data pair is overridden.
seems to be more a battle of basic survival for many families, living paycheck to paycheck. 
    We have become a nation of experts at juggling the bills, you know the story , pay one or two and put the rest on the back burner
till next payday.  The bottom line is that really doesn't leave much money leftover for the food budget.


Note that if you want to insert an image elsewhere other than the top of the infobox, or insert other "freeform" data, using a row with just a "data" field allows for that sort of thing.
    I've noticed a really interesting trend amongst your local food vendor for awhile now.  Have you become aware of the fact that  
when you find some food item that you can buy for cheap and put together a real cheap meal that is healthy and nutritious that somehow
the grocer gets wind of it and the next time you go shopping the price of that item has gone up.  Its makes life a little harder and
challenging to keep ahead of the price increases at the local market.


When developing an infobox, it is often a good idea to use non-contiguous numbers for the header and labal/data rows. for example:
      In order to survive, I've put together a few recipes that are delicious and nutritious and won't break your food budget, and the kids
<pre>|header3 = Section 1
enjoy them as well.
|label5 = XXX
I figure also that if you might have a favorite recipe that you put together it would be great to have you share it with the rest of the world .
|data5= YYY
      Many times by combining very simple ingredients you have leftover in the cupboards you can come up with some real winners.
|label7 = QQQ
   
|data7 = RRR
    Here is one of my favorite recipes that is both Nutritious and delicious:  '''Delicious Dinner Idea | Brown Rice Roast Beef & Vegetables'''
|header10 = Section2
|label12 = AAA
|data12 = BBB</pre>
Header and labal/data rows are not shown if they have no data, so this construction renders nicely but allows for easy revision  and expansion of the template, since new rows can be added without renumbering all the remaining rows in the template.


=== Parameters ===
This recipe  sticks to  the ribs on a cold winters day. This is really tasty addition to anyones weekly menu lineup.
====View/discuss/edit links====
;name : The template page name that the "view/discuss/edit" links should point to. You can use <nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki>. If this parameter is omitted the view/discuss/edit links will not be displayed.


====Title====
  1. Some useful cooking supplies to have on hand , is a rice steamer with multiple steam trays. [[File:cheapfoodforhardtimes_.jpg]]
{{Infobox
|title = Text in caption over infobox
|subheader = Subheader of the infobox
|data1 = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}
{{Infobox
|above = Text in uppermost cell of infobox
|subheader = Subheader of the infobox
|subheader2 = 2<sup>nd</sup> subheader of the infobox
|data1 = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}


There are two different ways to put a title on an infobox. One contains the title inside the infobox's border, the other puts it on top as a caption. You can use both of them together if you like, or just one or the other, or even neither (though this is not recommended).
  2. A Large boiling pot , such as for boiling noodles.
;title : Text to put in the caption over top of the table.
;above : Text to put within the uppermost cell of the table.


====Optional content====
  3. Roast Beef Chuck Roast
;subheader, subheader2 : additional title fields which fit between {{{title}}} and {{{above}}}.
;image, image2 : images to display at the top of the template. Use full image syntax, for example <nowiki>[[File:example.png|200px|alt=Example alt text]]</nowiki>. Image is centered by default. See [[WP:ALT]] for more on alt text.
;caption1, caption2 : Text to put underneath the images.
;header(n) : Text to use as a header in row n.
;label(n): Text to use as a label in row n.
;data(n): Text to display as data in row n.
;below: Text to put in the bottom cell. The bottom cell is intended for footnotes, see-also, and other such information.


Note: currently, headers, labels and data items with the same n-value are mutually exclusive; only the header will be displayed. See the rendering of header4, label4, and data4 in the examples section below.
  4. 2 Stalks of celery


====Optional CSS styling====
  5. half a bag of your 1 lb bag of brown rice
;bodystyle : Applies to the infobox table as a whole
;titlestyle : Applies only to the title caption. Adding a background color is usually inadvisable since the text is rendered "outside" the infobox.
;abovestyle : Applies only to the "above" cell at the top. The default style has font-size:large; since this cell is usually used for a title, if you want to use the above cell for regular-sized text include "font-size:medium;" in the abovestyle.
;imagestyle : Applies to the cell the image is in. This includes the text of the image caption, but you should set text properties with captionstyle instead of imagestyle in case the caption is moved out of this cell in the future.
;captionstyle : Applies to the text of the image caption.
;headerstyle : Applies to all header cells
;labelstyle : Applies to all label cells
;datastyle : Applies to all data cells
;belowstyle : Applies only to the below cell


==== HTML classes ====
  6. 1 large Chinese bitter Melon
;bodyclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox as a whole.
;titleclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's title caption.
;aboveclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's "above" cell.
; aboverowclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the "above" cell is on.
; subheaderclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's subheader.
; subheaderrowclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the subheader is on.
;imageclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the image; it is in particular used in conjunction with {{tl|Image class names}}.
; imagerowclass1, imagerowclass1 : These parameters are inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the respective images are on.
;rowclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the specified row '''including''' the label or other explanatory text.
;class(n) : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the data cell of the specified row. If there's no data cell it has no effect.
;belowclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's below cell.


==== Microformats ====
  7. garlic powder


This template supports the addition of microformat information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various data cells, indicating what kind of information is contained within. To flag an infobox as containing [[hCard]] information, for example, add the following parameter:
  8. salt


<pre>
  9. pepper
|bodyclass = vcard
</pre>


And for each row containing a data cell that's part of the vcard, add a corresponding class parameter:
  10. celery salt


<pre>
  11. curry powder
|class1 = fn
|class2 = org
|class3 = tel
</pre>


...and so forth. "above" and "title" can also be given classes, since these are usually used to display the name of the subject of the infobox.
  12. oregano


See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats]] for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia, and [[microformat]] for more information on microformats in general.
  13. Chinese lite soy sauce


===Making fields optional===
  14. 1 lb baby carrots
A row with a label but no data is not displayed. This allows for the easy creation of optional infobox content rows. To make a row optional use a parameter that defaults to an empty string, like so:


<pre>
  15. 1/2 diced onion
|label5 = Population
|data5  = {{{population|}}}
</pre>


This way if an article doesn't define the population parameter in its infobox the row won't be displayed.
  16. cilantro


For more complex fields with pre-formated contents that would still be present even if the parameter wasn't set, you can wrap it all in an "#if" statement to make the whole thing vanish when the parameter is not used. For instance, the "#if" statement in the following example reads "#if:the parameter ''mass'' has been supplied |then display it, followed by 'kg'":
  17. small teaspoon of meat tenderizer


<pre>
You start with a chuck roast, which you boil in the bottom of the rice steam pot and you boil it till done usually about 1.5 hours  on medium heat.
|label6 = Mass
Next your going to dice up the celery and put in the bottom pan with the roast.  In addition you want to slice the bitter melon in half and than
|data6 = {{#if:{{{mass|}}}|{{{mass}}} kg}}
  slice into small pieces  and place these bottom .  Throw in the carrots and seasonings, to suit your palate.
</pre>


For more on #if, see [[meta:ParserFunctions##if:|here]].
Now meanwhile, at the same time  that you put the Roast and vegetables to cook also in the larger  boiling pot you measure out half of the 2 lb bag
into the pot.  Taker  your index finger and measure the depth of  the rice in the pan.  Than by looking at how far your rice depth measures up
finger, you want to put in 1 and a half times as much water in the rice pan.


You can also make headers optional in a similar way. If you want a header to appear only if one or more of the data fields that fall under it are filled, one could use the following pattern as an example of how to do it:
You start the rice out on high heat and than once its reached the boiling point you turn the heat down to medium low heat.


<pre style="overflow:auto;">{{Infobox
Than once the rice is done and the Roast and vegetables are cooked , than you combine everything in the large already cooked rice pot with the rice
|name    = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
in there as well.
|title  = Example of an optional header
It is at this time that this time that you are going to start to season the soup, I usually season to my taste, and put soy sauce at least a few shakes
|header1 = {{#if:{{{item_one|}}}{{{item_two|}}}{{{item_three|}}}|Optional header}}
  for flavor.  In addition , I add alot of garlic powder, salt , pepper, oregano , a little curry powder , and the celery salt and in this case a little
|label2 = Item one
  meat tenderizer (no msg) for the roast .
|data2  = {{{item_one|}}}
Once the meat is done don't forget to cut the meat up into small bite size chunks.
|label3 = Item two
One thing not to forget is after the roast is done you want to make sure to take the broth that is created with the boiled roast and it is added into the pot.
|data3  = {{{item_two|}}}
  This is your soup base.
|label4 = Item three
|data4  = {{{item_three|}}}
}}</pre>


header1 will be shown if any of item_one, item_two, or item_three is defined. If none of the three parameters are defined the header won't be shown.
Now the easy part kick back for about 20 minutes and allow the soup ingredients to blend and cook down , which intensifies the flavor.  This makes enough to
easily feed a family of 4, or if you like it gets better with each day as leftovers.  I usually eat mine for about at least about 5 days for lunch and dinner.
Enjoy and please let me know how you like it.


The trick to this is that the "if" returns false only if there is nothing whatsoever in the conditional section, so only if all three of item_one, item_two and item_three are undefined will the if statement fail.


===Examples===
This recipe is by far one of my favorites.  It is really gtood for warming you up on a cold winters day.  I also find it gives you alot of strength to get

Cheap Food for Hard Times

    In this day with the economy in the state it is , we are all suffering to make ends meet and put food on the table.  Existence

seems to be more a battle of basic survival for many families, living paycheck to paycheck. 

    We have become a nation of experts at juggling the bills, you know the story , pay one or two and put the rest on the back burner
till next payday.  The bottom line is that really doesn't leave much money leftover for the food budget.  

    I've noticed a really interesting trend amongst your local food vendor for awhile now.  Have you become aware of the fact that

when you find some food item that you can buy for cheap and put together a real cheap meal that is healthy and nutritious that somehow 

the grocer gets wind of it and the next time you go shopping the price of that item has gone up.   Its makes life a little harder and
challenging to keep ahead of the price increases at the local market.

     In order to survive, I've put together a few recipes that are delicious and nutritious and won't break your food budget, and the kids

enjoy them as well. I figure also that if you might have a favorite recipe that you put together it would be great to have you share it with the rest of the world . 

      Many times by combining very simple ingredients you have leftover in the cupboards you can come up with some real winners.
    
    Here is one of my favorite recipes that is both Nutritious and delicious:  Delicious Dinner Idea | Brown Rice Roast Beef & Vegetables

This recipe sticks to the ribs on a cold winters day. This is really tasty addition to anyones weekly menu lineup. 

  1. Some useful cooking supplies to have on hand , is a rice steamer with multiple steam trays. 

  2. A Large boiling pot , such as for boiling noodles.

  3. Roast Beef Chuck Roast

  4. 2 Stalks of celery

  5. half a bag of your 1 lb bag of brown rice

  6. 1 large Chinese bitter Melon

  7. garlic powder

  8. salt

  9. pepper

 10. celery salt

 11. curry powder

 12. oregano

 13. Chinese lite soy sauce

 14. 1 lb baby carrots

 15. 1/2 diced onion

 16. cilantro

 17. small teaspoon of meat tenderizer

You start with a chuck roast, which you boil in the bottom of the rice steam pot and you boil it till done usually about 1.5 hours on medium heat. Next your going to dice up the celery and put in the bottom pan with the roast. In addition you want to slice the bitter melon in half and than 

slice into small pieces  and place these bottom .  Throw in the carrots and seasonings, to suit your palate.

Now meanwhile, at the same time that you put the Roast and vegetables to cook also in the larger boiling pot you measure out half of the 2 lb bag 

into the pot.  Taker  your index finger and measure the depth of  the rice in the pan.  Than by looking at how far your rice depth measures up 
finger, you want to put in 1 and a half times as much water in the rice pan.

You start the rice out on high heat and than once its reached the boiling point you turn the heat down to medium low heat.

Than once the rice is done and the Roast and vegetables are cooked , than you combine everything in the large already cooked rice pot with the rice in there as well. It is at this time that this time that you are going to start to season the soup, I usually season to my taste, and put soy sauce at least a few shakes 

for flavor.  In addition , I add alot of garlic powder, salt , pepper, oregano , a little curry powder , and the celery salt and in this case a little
meat tenderizer (no msg) for the roast .

Once the meat is done don't forget to cut the meat up into small bite size chunks. One thing not to forget is after the roast is done you want to make sure to take the broth that is created with the boiled roast and it is added into the pot. 

  This is your soup base.

Now the easy part kick back for about 20 minutes and allow the soup ingredients to blend and cook down , which intensifies the flavor. This makes enough to 

easily feed a family of 4, or if you like it gets better with each day as leftovers.  I usually eat mine for about at least about 5 days for lunch and dinner.

Enjoy and please let me know how you like it.


This recipe is by far one of my favorites. It is really gtood for warming you up on a cold winters day. I also find it gives you alot of strength to get 

things done during the week, such as work and enough energy to last.

  1. Some useful cooking supplies to have on hand , is a rice steamer with multiple steam trays.
  2. A Large boiling pot , such as for boiling noodles.
  3. Three chicken breasts.
  4. 2 Stalks of celery
  5. half a bag of your 1 lb bag of brown rice
  6. 1 large Chinese bitter Melon
  7. garlic powder
  8. salt
  9. pepper
 10. celery salt
 11. curry powder
 12. oregano
 13. Chinese lite soy sauce

You start with three chicken breasts, which you put in the bottom of the rice steam pot and you boil them till done usually about 25 minutes at

Than once the rice is done and the chicken and vegetables are cooked , than you combine everything in the large already cooked rice pot with the rice in there as well. It is at this time that this time that you are going to start to season the soup, I usually season to my taste, and put soy sauce at least a few shakes for flavor. In addition , I add a lot of garlic powder, salt , pepper, oregano , a little curry powder , and the celery salt.
