Spicy Tomato and Tuna Pasta

spicy Tuna and Tomato Pasta

Every now and then, I get a night completely kid free. The stars will align and both of our children find themselves a place other than our house to crash for the night. Usually at a friend's house surrounded by junk food and video games. When those rare occasions happen, I find myself in quite the predicament...what do I cook for dinner? The answer is this quick and easy ...

Easy Asian Tuna Patties

Asian Tuna Patties

This week is turning out to be one of those weeks when I am very thankful for the deep pantry shelves and my supply of budget meal makers. We are no strangers to lean weeks in this house, but I am happy to report that these shoestring weeks are because we are making the last payments on our credit card debt this month! I will eat canned tuna for that anytime. SO these Asian ...

Tomato and White Bean Salad with Basil

Tomato and White Bean Salad

Originally published January 2010 - updated January 2019 I am not fond of lettuce. I like it on my burgers or sandwiches, or as a garnish to a nice plate of fish, but in general I do not like lettuce. Oh ...

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Sweet Potato Biscuits from EatinontheCHeap.com

Biscuits are a rite of passage for many Southern women. It’s a skill passed down from generation to generation, a vessel for learning many of life’s lessons. My mother imparted her own wisdom to me through the art of making biscuits. As a small child, Mom taught me to measure the flour, cut in the fat, stir in the milk, be gentle with the dough, and cut your biscuits. There is ...

Tuna Tuesday: Tuna Pesto Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes

Tuna pesto pasta

It's Tuna Tuesday, where the star of the show is meat in a can! Routine has never really been my strong suit and if I'm honest, I haven't really needed one since the kids where babies. Since regular naptimes were phased out what seems like ages ago ( oh, naptimes! How I miss you!), our daily routine has always been more of a loose list of suggested activities written in pencil ...

Tuna Tuesday (er..Wednesday) Salmon and Asparagus Pasta with Walnuts

Salmon and Asparagus Pasta with Walnuts

Seriously...it could not be more beautiful outside right now. The last few days I have had all of the doors and windows open in the house enjoying the soft breezes and the smell of Spring in the air. All of this gorgeous weather won't last long. I know that soon enough there will be big bugs and clouds of yellow pollen to contend with. Sinuses and snotty kids won't be far ...

Tuna Panzanella Salad

Tuna Panzanella Salad

If any of you follow me on Twitter, you already know what I have been up to for the last week. I have been knee deep in sick kids since last Monday. I won't elaborate too much ( although I could but this is a food blog and bodily functions are not the most appetizing conversations), but let's just say that I have run out of towels 3 times in the last week and it wasn't because ...

Cheesy Tuna Corn Chowder

Creamy Tuna and Corn Chowder

The ultimate pantry meal that also happens to be pretty delicious. Keep this one in your back pocket for those cold winter months when heading to the grocery is impossible and eating out of the pantry is a must. The South is completely frozen. We are all covered in at least a couple inches of ice. School is closed, the mail hasn't run, and we are all beginning to go a little ...

Italian Bean and Tuna Salad

Tuna and White Bean Salad

This Italian Bean and Tuna Salad is a great make ahead lunch dish! I don't know about you guys, but since the holiday season started a little over a month ago, I have gotten reacquainted with my fat pants.  I hate getting reacquainted with my fat pants. They make me feel fat. Oh I can still squeeze myself into my regular pants, but I look like one of those gigantic muffins in ...

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

It's Tuesday again already! Time for another wonderful addition to the Tuna Tuesday series where meat in a can is the star of the show! This week I am using a can of premium white crabmeat. It is a wonderful replacement for the super expensive lump crabmeat and also makes great soups, sandwiches, and spreads.  Canned crabmeat is perfect for these crowd pleasing stuffed ...

Chicken Stock and Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken stock is one of those basic kitchen practices that everyone should know. It's probably THE kitchen practice to know.  It is liquid gold. It's a thing of beauty. It's full of flavor and it's delicious. It's also dang near free if you make it yourself. With Thanksgiving coming up, you are going to need a lot of chicken stock. I bet the average American spends $10 - $15 ...

Hoppin’ John and how to Shop at the Farmer’s Market

  I have been going to the new local Farmer's Market pretty regularly this summer. After doing a lot of reading on the subject of food over the past few months, I decided that working local food into the budget would really be a benefit for our family. Although I had planned on increasing the food budget to allow for the higher prices of local food, I have found that as ...

How to Make Homemade Strawberry Jam

How to Make Homemade Strawberry Jam

I have a lot of childhood memories related to strawberry jam. My parents owned a business that involved suppling lots of factories with nuts and bolts and stuff. For Christmas, my mother and I would give all the workers a basket full of cookies, candies and strawberry preserves. They had lots of customers and during the summer, we made LOTS of preserves. 20-30 cases I think. We ...
