Adsense is shitty but you get decent traffic so you should be earning at least enough to pay for hosting, etc.

You should also sign up with Text Link Ads and the like. They're relatively cheap ads that most people use just to grab a link from a higher ranking site. You won't get as much as a big site but you could still get about a $15-20 a month price (of which you get half and the ad company takes half).

Food blogs are actually very hard to monetize since most of the bigger affiliate networks won't have all that much in that category. However, you can still make a decent amount of money with them.

Don't worry about it not paying much. That shit adds up and you will want to sign up a few. I'm no expert...I don't monetize as much as I probably should.

So you need approximately $100 a year? That's incredibly easy to earn through ads. You'll probably end up making a few times that without much trying.
