Crock Pot Beef Roast with Red Wine Onion Gravy over Rice – $1.48
When I took my first bite of this dish in the kitchen, a group of guests in the living wondered if I was okay. I couldn’t hold back my “WOOO!” yelps after every bite. Unfortunately for them, this dish was not for sharing. Don’t be deceived by the unappealing visual. This beef was so packed with flavor [...]

Pumpkin Caramelized Onion Soup – $.95
Here’s a super simple 2-3 ingredient recipe that will surprise you with some really amazing flavors. Usually pumpkin recipes are used for sweet treats, but I took a different direction and added caramelized onions for a classic, savory spin. Most folks don’t do soup in the warm months, but even though the flavors are savory, [...]

Red Wine Reduction Sauce over Roasted Baby Eggplant
The title of this recipe should actually be: Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid to Experiment in the Kitchen. I got home from work, hungry, tired, and wondering if I should have stopped by Taco Hell on the way home. The only major ingredient I had was some baby eggplant I picked up at an Indian [...]

Balsamic Glazed Chicken & Mushrooms – $2.28
I’m excited to tell you about what I had for dinner tonight. It was really good. I used to hate mushrooms and I’m so thankful I love them now because without them, this dish just wouldn’t be the same. Cut up some onion and toss it in a hot, greased pan along with some salt. [...]

Grilled Marinated Venison & Grilled Farmer’s Market Vegetables – $2.39
So instead of being responsible and doing errands this past Saturday, I grilled outside on a beautiful Spring day. This is what I did… BTW, I believe a grill should be a staple for all poor people. You can put just about anything on the grill with no added fat or sauces and it tastes [...]

Quail Egg & Balsamic Glaze over Bacon, Tomato, Chicken & Rice – $1.55
I’ll be honest, when I made this meal I was in the middle of bad day. All I wanted was some comfort food… food I couldn’t really mess up… something that tasted familiar. It’s not a mind blowing meal, or super pretty, or is it the kind of meal you’d want to eat every day [...]

Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms & Meatballs with Onions & Bacon – $1.21
I’m not sure you can really mess up a dish with mushrooms, onions, bacon and balsamic vinegar. I ended up being so impressed with the flavor, I didn’t actually serve it with any starch at all. It’d be good with pasta if you want, or just serve with bread too. Mmmm…. Start with about 2 [...]

Beefy Baby Bella Pasta – $1.39
Ok, don’t get mad at me. When you think “healthy”, you probably don’t think pasta. That’s okay, I’m on the same page. But see… the thing is, sometimes “healthy” is a little…well, relative. Is a bowl of pasta better than a Big Mac, fries and a Coke? Yeah, I think so. Sometimes to me, “healthy” [...]

Balsamic Chicken, Feta & Veggie "Flatbread" Tortilla Pizza – $1.93
The other night I was dying for some pizza. Honestly though, I never have the energy to make dough. So I thought I’d go Euro-style and make some ghetto super thin “pizzas”. If you have a pan with holes in it like this, sweet. If not, maybe you could cook the tortillas on the oven [...]

Red Wine Beef with Onions & Mushrooms over Rice – $1.37
This meal was ridiculous. The flavor was out of this world. It’s like beef stew on crack. It took quite a while to cook so if you’re in a hurry to get in and out of the kitchen, this is not the meal for you. However, perfect for sticking it in the oven before church [...]

Here’s a fancy shmancy little meal to impress that special someone. In my case, that special someone was myself but whatever. So, cut up a potato, toss it in a splash of olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary, and space them out on a pan. Heat the oven to broil and stick it in. Chop [...]

Sexy Nachos with Feta, Spinach, Caramelized Onions, Basil and Balsamic Glaze – $1.16
Share You guys. I’m serious. I don’t mean to brag but these were amazing. I put a junk load of feta on it so the health factor went down a few points, but ya’ know what? I don’t care. It was worth it. I didn’t have much food left in my fridge, but something awesome [...]

Balsamic Mushroom "Bruschetta" – $1.15
I hated mushrooms for the first 23 years of my life, until my friend Lindsay sauteed some portobellos in balsamic vinegar and garlic and put it on some french bread. I was suddenly hooked!

Easy Chicken Marsala – $.99
I said on my Facebook status that I literally had to walk away from this so as to not eat the entire pot. Wow, this was so yummy. I never knew how much I would like these flavors together, and I am a better person now that I love mushrooms. By the way, I don’t [...]

Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing – $.11
Hmmm, xanthan gum, caramel color, potassium sorbate, calcium disodium, and sulfiting agents… just some of the interesting ingredients found in some store bought balsamic vinaigrette dressings. For about 4 bucks you could buy a bottle of this kind of dressing from the store. But why would you? The balsamic dressing I make is a fraction of the [...]
