Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities: Make Cappuccino at Home
http://frugalgourmetintwincities.blogspot.com/2009/01/make-cappuccino-at-home.html
Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities. Friday, January 16, 2009. Make Cappuccino at Home. I am not a coffee drinker, but I know people who shell out at least $3 for cappuccino at coffee shops. A recent article in the new Food Network magazine explaining how to make this frothy coffee drink at home caught my eye. The magazine estimates the cost of making your own cappuccino is 34 cents, versus the $3 or more you'd pay at a Starbucks or Caribou. Here is what you do to make your own cappuccino. Sun-dried tomato...

Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities. Thursday, January 29, 2009. A war fit for soup. Have you noticed the soup war between Campbell’s and Progresso? Commercials from both companies filled with claims the others’ products have MSG, more calories and unhealthy ingredients have aired on television. As I watch these organizations hurl calorie-ridden insults at each other I want to tell them I choose not to buy either soups. That’s $1.74 per box. Friday, January 16, 2009. Of course this will never happen becaus...

Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities: December 2008
http://frugalgourmetintwincities.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. I have no problems cooking enchiladas, turkey or lamb from scratch, but if you ask me to bake chocolate chip cookies I start to panic. I was never much of a baker. At my first job out of college the women organized a cookie exchange every year. I purchased cranberries, flour and baking powder with the intentions of making delicious oatmeal cranberry cookies. If I recall correctly, my cookies were almost untouched at the party. I used to treat...

Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities. Friday, February 20, 2009. Bok choy with cranberries and sun-dried tomatoes. I am always interested in trying new vegetables. I especially love going to ethnic stores and looking at their produce section, where there’s often a good selection of vegetables I won’t find at Cub Foods or Rainbow. Sometimes, when I don’t mind being annoying, I’ll ask store employees to tell me what I am looking at and how to prepare it. I sautéed the cabbage, which tastes like spinach, in se...

Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities: Chili
http://frugalgourmetintwincities.blogspot.com/2009/01/chili.html
Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities. Friday, January 16, 2009. It is –21 degrees in St. Paul today. Our house, built in 1922, is creaking and popping as if to say, “Can you believe this weather? Why didn’t they build me in California? Believe me, I am thinking about packing our house and moving to San Francisco, which warmed up to 58 degrees today. Toasty! Of course this will never happen because the CTO and I love St. Paul and have made many wonderful friends here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Frugal Gourmet in the Twin Cities. Friday, October 31, 2008. Deals at the New Cub Foods. The new Cub Foods has finally opened in St. Paul. The isles are crowded with people pushing shopping carts while scouting for deals in the store. There's lots of sales there at the moment. They're selling Cub butter for 88-cents with a coupon. An eight-piece fried chicken is $3.99 with a coupon (and you can print out a second Gold -n-Plump coupon for double the savings! Thursday, October 30, 2008. As a native of Kyiv.
