YUM. This was my first homemade clam chowder experience, and it was oh so delicious. I was a little hesitant at first. I’ve never bought clams in a can before, and something about chopped up clams in a can seemed strange to me. For those of you who like clam chowder but haven’t made your … Continue reading »

The List: Week 16
This week is going to be abbreviated – I’m headed back to Michigan the second half of this week to get this foot business wrapped up, that leaves 3 dinners, 4 lunches, 4 snacks and 5 breakfasts, so I’m aiming to spend about half my budget. Here’s what I still have left over from last … Continue reading »
Broiled Grapefruit
Over the last few months, I’ve had more than one person share wonderful-looking recipes for broiled grapefruit with me. I decided to give it a go over Christmas and it was… meh. But it just looks so good, and all the reviews are so good, I decided to give it a second shot using a … Continue reading »
Honey Mustard Oven “Fried” Chicken
Those of you who know me know that I’m not an advocate of dieting in the “I will no longer eat carbs ever” sense. There’s something about cutting an entire food group out of your diet that just doesn’t sit well with me. That being said, I am a fan of maintaining balance and portion … Continue reading »
Rosemary Crusted Pork Loin with Roasted Mushrooms & Green Beans
That is a looooong title for my dinner, but don’t let that mislead you… this was EASY and, with the help of my good friend tin foil, didn’t dirty anything other than a plate and a knife (win!). It took about an hour, start to finish, but most of that is spent doing whatever you … Continue reading »

Pair with a hot cup of coffee and you’ll be ready … Continue reading »
Mayo-less Tuna Salad Sammies
Yum! This is like the tasty grown-up version of your every day tuna+mayo+white bread sammich. What’s awesome about this guy is, he’s delicious, doesn’t require any cooking, and isn’t loaded with lard. It seriously takes about 10 minutes to put this dish together (all you have to do is slice the fennel, chop the parsley, … Continue reading »
The List: Week 15 (and other budgetary concerns)
So to recap, last week was awesome. I had a crazy week with my first week back to school and the food I had was perfect. Light but filling, easy, packable, tasty… awesome. If you missed it, definitely check it out and give it a go. In similar fashion, I’m anticipating that the rest of … Continue reading »
Black Bean Burgers
Here’s to yet another Pinterest find! That website is both awesome and horrible. There are SO MANY good ideas on there, but it’s like internet crack – highly addictive. I spend WAY more time on there than I should. Anyway… to the burgers. These are pretty fantastic. Mainly because they’re both delicious and cheap. They’re … Continue reading »
