We’re kind of obsessed with comfort food right now, with the seasons changing and the weather getting chilly. That means, of course, finding ways to indulge without breaking the piggy bank – or the calorie budget. Re-purposing leftovers is one of the smartest ways to eat like royalty on a shoestring budget, and the secret […]
There’s something really satisfying about making food from scratch, more so when the food you’re making is also a restaurant favorite. Magneto says the ramen we’ve been eating in restaurants this whole time pale in comparison to last night’s homemade five-protein ramen explosion – and, aside from my not boiling the soft-boiled eggs long enough, […]
We still don’t know what we’re doing with this garden, but we’ve kind of had a breakthrough: we went from a few chard leaves to about half a pound of assorted string beans, wax beans, and snap peas, plus an edible flower and some chard. Our tomato and pepper plants are flowering, and our sage […]
I couldn’t bear to have more chili last night, and so it was a good thing that I’d planned ahead by marinating some chicken while I was work. Using a cup of coconut water and two tablespoons of hot sauce (The Pepper Plant’s California Style Hot Sauce, to be specific), my boneless, skinless organic chicken […]
Magneto and I don’t entertain often, but I have a bad habit of cooking as though we’re having guests almost every time I step into the kitchen. This means we’re always left with WAY TOO MUCH FOOD. Either I learn how to cook for two, or I do what I do below: repurpose my leftovers […]
I love carbs more than any human ought to, so it should come as no surprise that I’m obsessed with pizzas and calzones. I recently had a very tasty calzone at Vinny’s Pizza near my office, and decided that making them at home would be pretty satisfying. This time, I was right! I filled mine […]
Don’t know what to do with that extra chicken meat for your Independence Day BBQ? Look no further!
One of my favorite things is to open up the fridge, survey its contents, and wait for inspiration to strike. Sometimes, it ends in disaster. Other times, it turns into a surprisingly delicious meal. We were craving something hearty, warm, and comforting one cold spring evening, and I decided to use chicken thighs instead of […]
HEALTHY FOOD! Well, mostly. I’ll cop to the Chinese food I had, and the irrepressible need for chocolate cream pie earlier in the week (listen, PMS is a beast). But aside from that, I’ve done pretty well with the whole “eating things that will make my body feel good” thing. Thanksgiving is coming up, though, […]
