What's for dinner??

I'm often asked "What's for dinner?" from friends, colleagues, and of course, my husband!

Many people have a really hard time finding easy, healthy, simple ways to feed themselves, their significant others, and their families without spending lots of money and being stuck with ingredients that they may never use again!

I decided to start this simple blog to give people ideas of recipes that they can make that take very little money and effort, but yield fantastic results every time! Some recipes may seem a bit more complicated than others, but overall, I'll try to keep things simple.

Some tips when "cooking with me" include...
1. I learned to cook from my Dad. We didn't measure. Ever. Even when baking. My measurements are always approximate (like Rachel Ray's palmful). Taste your food as you're cooking!!

2. The majority of the food I cook is vegetarian. I'm alive and even carrying a few extra pounds, so believe me, you and your loved ones can live without meat every so often. I promise. And bonus: you'll save money! Pound for pound, tofu is much cheaper than chicken!

3. Don't be afraid to try new things! Tofu is fantastic! Seitan is one of our favorite chicken-substitutes! Iceberg lettuce makes GREAT taco shells! Be creative!

4. If you make a great alteration to one of my recipes, send it along to me!

I'm sure I'll think of more later... but for now, enjoy!
