Bean swap meet

Most beans are interchangeable in recipes.  Pick up what's on sale and use it in your favorite recipe.  Dry beans don't often seem to go on sale, but canned beans do.

Salmon says…

I'll get right to the point. My wife hates fish but she ate these salmon patties that I came up with. I was shocked. I need this recipe immortalized here so I can make it again. They're low carb too and really cheap to make!

How many pans do you need (to make a meatloaf)?

If you're a fan of the Food Network show Good Eats, you've probably heard Alton Brown say that he only owns one multitasker- a fire extinguisher. Everything else he puts in his kitchen has at least more than one function. I love that philosophy and try to keep my kitchen stocked the same way because I truly believe "less is more" in almost all cases. Today my cast iron skillet does double duty as a baking pan for a low carb meatloaf.

French braised short ribs

I'm not sure why I think this recipe is French. Maybe it's the combination of beef and thyme. It could be the silky sauce that results. It could be how simply yet delicious it is. Anyway, this came out really well, so maybe I should rename it Delicious braised short ribs.

When life gives you cream cheese… make spinach-artichoke dip

I often get a random taste for something that I just can't shake. This was the case earlier this week when I decided that I HAVE To have spinach-artichoke dip. Of course, I didn't even have any artichokes and the frugal streak in me wouldn't let me go to the store and buy the ingredients. If I was going to satisfy this craving, I was going to have to do it with what was in the house.

Frugal Wines from Trader Joe’s

Being frugal doesn't mean completely cutting out any one thing- especially wine. Wines certainly have a place in a frugal lifestyle but trying to find delicious wines at good prices can be challenging. I'm not going to give away the ending of the video, but will say that there are a couple of deals to be had.
