Chicken and Chickpea Tagine
Chicken and Chickpea Tagine is a pretty easy weeknight meal that makes tons of leftovers that you can eat for lunch for the next couple of days. You just brown the chicken, throw everything into a dutch oven, and let it braise for an hour. The recipe is outrageously inexpensive to make and is full [...]
Lemon-Raspberry Cupcakes
These delicious Lemon-Raspberry Cupcakes are the perfect springtime treat, especially with Easter coming up in a couple of weeks. The tartness of the fresh lemon and the sweetness of the raspberry jam combined with moist batter = cupcake perfection. This cupcake recipe makes 12 cupcakes at 35 cents per serving (that is if you can [...]
Huevos Rancheros
If I had to plan my perfect Saturday morning, it would include a long run around Town Lake in Austin followed by a Tex-Mex breakfast at Magnolia Cafe (because you know that calories don’t really count after running 10 miles ). Unfortunately, we now live in Las Vegas, but I can still capture that feeling [...]
Thai Beef Salad
Thai Beef Salad is the perfect lunch for a gorgeous spring day with the nice contrast of the tangy chili and lime dressing, and the freshness of the different herbs in the salad mix. This recipe makes 4 large servings at a cost of $2.88 per person. Carlo grilled the skirt steak on the bbq [...]
Curry Three For All, Part 3: Red Curry Salmon
This is the last recipe in our Thai red curry paste series of recipes, and I’m proud to say that we finished the jar of curry paste last night! I found this recipe for Red Curry Salmon in this month’s issue of Women’s Health and it fit the bill perfectly for our red curry experiment [...]
Curry Three For All, Part 2: Red Curry Chicken Kebabs with Minty Yogurt Sauce and Seared Romaine Spears with Caesar Dressing
This is the second of three recipes using Thai red curry paste. When buying specialty ingredients, using them only one time can drastically increase the per-serving cost of a recipe; finding ways to reuse them knocks it down, but it also gets you into the habit of thinking more than one meal at a time, [...]
Curry Three For All, Part 1: Cauliflower, Egg and Potato Curry
I find that there is nothing more annoying than buying some esoteric ingredient for a particular recipe and then never using it again (hello, pomegranate molasses still in my fridge!). With that in mind, we are going to have a Curry Three For All to showcase three different recipes (one vegetarian, one chicken, and one [...]
Spaghetti Bolognaise
When I was at Vons last week, I found some 93% lean ground beef on sale for $2.57 so I decided to make some spaghetti. I turned to a Jamie Oliver recipe that I have been using for the last 5 years or so, which tastes like an updated version of the Spaghetti Bolognaise that [...]
Spicy Fish Tacos with Kohlrabi Slaw and Black Beans
When we were doing the shopping at Fresh & Easy last week, I saw they had mangoes as part of their weekly 98-cent produce pack specials. We’d had a hankering for some fish, and seeing the mangoes reminded me of this Spicy Fish Tacos recipe I got from Men’s Health magazine a long while back, [...]
Kale, Sausage and Mushroom Stew
After going to the Farmer’s Market last week and purchasing some beautiful Russian Kale, I needed to find a recipe in which this vegetable could star. Carlo suggested that I try this Kale, Sausage and Mushroom Stew recipe from the New York Times blog of Mark Bittman, who has written numerous cookbooks and of course, [...]
