From The Big House To Your House is a new cookbook with about two hundred recipes for you and your family. Oh… did I say family? I meant fellow inmates.

The cookbook is brought to us by female prisoners at the Mountain View Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Equipped with just a hot pot and limited food items from the commissary, the women recipe-tested items such as Frito pie, peach habanero salsa, and a faux baked potato made from re-hydrated potato chips.

Although some of the recipe’s actual edibility comes into question, they are certainly creative, and could come in handy if you find yourself in a bind — or if you’re going off to college.
