Last week I got strep AND the stomach flu within a few days of each other. I craved something hot, chicken-y, salty, and most importantly, simple. I was also not interested in digging out my huge camera for these shots, so I used my iPhone. Sorry about that, but hey, I was sick! If you [...]

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” [...]

You don’t even know how much I love Texas Pete hot sauce. The other day I wanted fatty, greasy, crunchy, Texas Pete & butter covered hot wings, but that doesn’t really qualify for this site. So this is my way of satisfying my hot sauce desires, Broke and Healthy style. Cut up 1/2 chicken breast [...]

Chicken Penne "Lo Mein" – $.60

Here’s a great “I’m Starving!” meal to throw together for just yourself or for the whole family. If you have a thick spaghetti or yaki soba noodles you can use that to look a little more like real lo mein, but I used whatever pasta I had, which was penne whole wheat. This is a cheap [...]
