Rising to the Occasion – Sourdough Part Deux

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

I have been meaning to get this posted for the last few days. The luscious loaf you see here is long gone now, and has currently been replaced by another. That's the beauty of sourdough starter. With very little effort you can easily make endless loaves of bread for a very long time. The older the starter is the better it becomes, gaining more and more depth with every feeding. ...

Starting Something – Sourdough Part 1

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

Gloom and Doom. That's the word on the street these days. Everyone is tightening their belts and pinching their pennies in case they lose their job, inflation skyrockets, or the nation collapses in on itself. Whatever the reasoning there is no doubt that people are looking for more and more ways to spend less. Well, I'm throwing my idea into the hat...make some dough. ...

Broiled Sesame Ginger Chicken

When it comes to chicken quarters, I feel that the possibilities are slightly limited. Maybe that's what makes them so cheap. Even so, I buy a lot of chicken quarters. It's hard to beat 59 cents a pound. Therefore, I am always on the look out for recipes using chicken quarters. I think one of the secrets to cooking chicken quarters ,or any other meat for that matter, is having ...

The End – Pork Tacos

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

So, just in case you are just now tuning in, I have been making meals from one pork loin that I cooked on Monday. Last night was the very end of the pork loin, and it was just as tasty at the end as it was at the beginning. To catch you up the first meal was a Spice Rubbed Pork Loin, then we moved on to a Mostly Moo Shu Pork Stir Fry , and then last night wrapped up Pork Week ...

Pork Continued… Mostly Moo Shu Pork Stir Fry

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

So, last night I cooked the spice rubbed pork loin and tonight I continued with the leftovers to make a very good, very fast and very cheap Moo Shu type stir fry. Now I'm not going to pretend that this is authentic, but it is very tasty and for about $3 for the whole meal who cares if it's authentic.Mostly Moo Shu Pork Stir Fry2 cups of cubed pork loin2 t. vegetable oil4 cups ( ...

Spice Rubbed Pork Loin

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

Have you ever had one of those months where you feel like you just can't catch up? Boy have I had one of those months. I have had so much stuff to do and so little time to do it in. The fact that February has 3 less days than every other month doesn't help anything either.I don't know about you, but when I'm rushed I just want to find the easiest thing for me to throw together ...

Cookbooks and a Fiesta Chicken Bake

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

I own a lot of cookbooks. They are a guilty pleasure for me. I love to look at all of the pictures and read all of the recipes and there may be one or two recipes that I will actually cook out of those cookbooks that I buy. But there are two cookbooks that I refer back to time and time again. They are my Good Housekeeping cookbook and my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I ...

A Cheap Date – Chicken Kiev

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

It feels like FOREVER since I have posted an entry. I consider that to be a testament to just how busy I have been. The last 10 days have been seriously hectic. I got my first large order for bags ( okay it was only 5 bags, but that's big for me), I signed up to do my very first craft show in May, we have been potty training the twins, and on top of all that we have all had a ...

I’d rather be on the beach – Orange & Ginger Pork with Corn and Avocado Salad

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

As I have expressed before, I am sick of winter. And thanks to ol' Phil the Groundhog, it seems that winter is going to wear out it's welcome. I really shouldn't be complaining since I live in the South and we don't get the deep freezes that those north of us see, but it's still cold. Cold enough I can't really take the kids outside to play very often and my toes haven't seen ...

For the Vegetarian in all of us – Black Bean Burgers

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

Okay, I have a confession. I have put on a little weight. About 5 pounds and I'm a little bummed about it. So, it's about that time to eat a little healthy for at least a few weeks. SO I started last night with these black bean burgers I saw in Gourmet magazine. I love that magazine and I'm always excited when I see a recipe in there that I can actually afford to make.These ...

Salmon Patties with Spicy Remo Sauce

Ah...the salmon patty. That famous concoction of the 1950's that still graces the menu of every meat and 3 diner in the South. I'm sure the salmon patty was a created in order to work some seafood into a 1950's diet without spending a fortune on fresh fish and without eating canned tuna again. Fifty years later, it seems that times haven't changed that much, at least not in my ...

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

stuffed pork tenderloin from eatinonthecheap.com

This is a fly by the seat of my pants invention, inspired by a few different recipes, but totally my own. And it was sooo good. I am finally getting rid of the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers ( yah!!! freezer space!) and some dried cranberries that have been floating around my kitchen for a while. If you don't have cranberries, use raisins or currants instead. You really ...

Spring Pasta Salad

I am totally over wintertime. I hate being cold all the time and as a tightwad I refuse to turn up the heat. I just want it to be sunny and warm outside. I am ready for Spring. Unfortunately, Spring is a long ways away. Today's weather was beautiful...until you went outside. It was bright and sunny and very cold. As I stared out the window I thought that I would love a nice ...

Chicken Pot Pie

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

I love this recipe for chicken pot pie. It uses envelopes of turkey gravy and Hollandaise mix which really helps to thicken up the filling and gives it a really rich flavor. I also use store bought pie crusts. I can't make a pie crust to save my life ,so I am thankful these things are around. Make sure you pull the crusts out of the freezer when you start. Turn the pans for the ...

Stromboli

Affiliate links are provided below for your convenience. You can see my full disclosure policy here.

I am exhausted. After weeks of travel, family, weddings, sick babies, and holiday revelries, I am completely drained. I'm sure you have similar feelings. I think we all do. So today, I did something I rarely do...I bought canned pizza crust. I know what your thinking, "big deal" , but I feel a little guilty about it. For $2.59 I bought a tube of convenience instead of making ...
