testkitchen_asparaguspastasalad_foodrepbulic_recipe

Asparagus and Macaroni Salad is interrupting the regularly scheduled story of Ironman Texas today.  I had another post ready to go but then I went to Food Republic and saw this picture on the site and immediately thought…..I need to repost that and let people know about this recipe. This recipe couldn’t be any easier [...]

Homemade Granola

homemadegranola_recipe

Homemade granola is not difficult to make but when you can buy it for relatively cheap you just pick up a box or package.  It is my version of convenience food.  That is until yesterday.  I was at Sprout’s and needed to get some cereal for the Big Bowl I have been eating and I [...]

162017_310552408991748_623390986_n-1

The Frugal Grocer series has not been posted to in sometime, and that is mainly because I have been forgetful when it comes to taking pictures of my food and don’t want to bore you with just a grocery list.  Rest assured that I have kept to my $50 per week budget and last week spent [...]

Cookie Monster

Cookie Monster is the nickname given to me by my wonderful wife.  That or El Snackito and that is because I am always perusing the house for a snack.  An apple is a snack.  Carrots and Celery is a snack.  Rip’s Big Bowl is a snack, but the real snack for me is cookies. I [...]

Brown Rice Muffins sounded perfect to me the moment I saw them in The FeedZone Cookbook.  Ever since I made Pancake Muffins I have always thought of other ways to make food in a handy bite size way.  Today on my run I thought about Lasagna Muffins and even Quesadilla Muffins.  Recipes will have to [...]

Peanut Butter Cups might be my favorite candy of all time.  I make my own so I know everything that goes into those little candies of heaven.  Not having the patience to melt chocolate and then wait for them to form in the fridge I took it upon myself to make ice cream.  Seeing as [...]

A Taste Of Puerto Rico

images-99

A Taste Of Puerto Rico is a cookbook that my Mom gave me years and years ago.  I think I cracked the spine on that book once.  I felt like I knew how to cook the dishes I wanted, and what I didn’t know Mom knew how to make.  When Karen and I went to [...]

Quinoa Stir Fry Recipe

Quinoa stir fry held a place in my heart from around 8am last night until I consumed every last morsel of food.  There was a monkey wrench tossed in there by Karen who called me at 430p to ask me if I wanted pizza to celebrate her last day of work (she starts on Monday [...]

Grilled Cheese Recipe from The Feed Zone Cookbook

feedzone_cookbook_allenlim

Grilled cheese on a cold winter’s day with tomato soup.  We all remember that don’t we.  The way the cheese would be so hot that it would burn the roof of your mouth……the way the bread was sometimes burnt because Mom was focused on 100 other things.  The joys of childhood were just incredible.  I [...]

Frugal Grocer – PSA

162017_310552408991748_623390986_n

  Frugal Grocer, the series, has been on hiatus for the past few weeks and will be for one more week.  All this racing has made grocery shopping a joke lately.  Trips to the store have resulted in $25 grocery bills because of the out-of-town trip (San Juan and Oklahoma) or family in town race [...]
