Hawaiian Ham and Cheese by Kim Wren As a college student, and a recently shacked-up girlfriend, I am constantly looking for ways to stretch a buck. When Raymond and I started living together, I was aghast with how much money we were going through. It took a good five months to realize we were bleeding…
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…
Homemade chicken noodle soup – my secret ingredient!
Last night I made chicken noodle soup for dinner and it turned out especially good. David raved about the flavor of the broth and he was right – it was really, really delicious.

Love and Culinary Bravery – a guest post

This is baffling to me, this ability to just find random ingredients and put it…
Butternut Squash Risotto
