January is over (can you believe that?!) and I thought I’d do a quick report on my “slow month” challenge. My last post was this past Sunday and I haven’t bought any groceries since. That means the grand total for the month is (drum roll, please): $137.81 I’m really pleased with that, especially since it…
Black bean burgers and homemade buns
I’ve made black bean burgers before (you can check out that recipe here) but I saw one which includes quinoa and decided to give it a try. Here is the link the original recipe but I’ll explain how I did it here. Ingredients: 1/2 cup quinoa about 2/3 cup chopped onion 1 15 oz. can…
Curried Coleslaw
I should have thought to take a picture but since I want to be sure I remember how I made this I’m going to write it up and share it here anyway. I used this recipe as a starting point. I had half a small head of cabbage which needed to be used. It made…
Tea Making Tips

A slow month update- January 27, 2013
I’ve made two brief shopping trips since my last “slow month” update. I had volunteered to make a big pan of green beans for a local charity organization so I ran in to Apple Market following the MLK event Monday. I needed green beans and bacon for the dish (I still had onion at home)…
English Muffin Bread
I’m sure I’m not the only one who pins recipes to Pinterest but doesn’t get around to trying them, right? Well, I’m going to change that. As I was thinking about tonight’s dinner (broccoli soup) I decided we needed some bread to go with it. I looked at my “Food and Wine” Pinterest board for something quick…
