Health Recipes: Learning to Love Foods You Hate: A How-to Guide for Frugal Eaters

http://janiceokoh.blogspot.com/2012/03/learning-to-love-foods-you-hate-how-to.html

Learning to Love Foods You Hate: A How-to Guide for Frugal Eaters. This article first appeared in April 2009. I still hate mayo. I will ALWAYS hate mayo. George Clooney could serve me mayo wrapped in chocolate bacon on a gold-plated re-issue of Who’s Next. And I would throw it back in his face. But my opinion’s changed on most of those other foods. These days, I’ll gladly scarf a floret of cauliflower. Brussels sprouts hold a special place on my dinner table. And eggplant? The trick was getting the image...

My Dinner with Aline. This post was written by Leigh, who usually pens CHG's Veggie Might. Greetings darling CHG readers! I've missed you ever so. The most exciting thing happened since I was here last. I went to Rwanda to teach crochet to the girls of the Ubushobozi Project, and I'm bursting with joy to share with you a first-hand account of your generosity in action. You may recall that Ubushobozi. And they dance…do they ever dance! Back in the spring, Kristen and I introduced you to Aline. On my visit...

Health Recipes: Roommate Living: Your Food, Kitchen, and Sanity

http://janiceokoh.blogspot.com/2012/03/roommate-living-your-food-kitchen-and.html

Roommate Living: Your Food, Kitchen, and Sanity. This was first published in April 2010. Since freshman year of college, I’ve had approximately 15,000 roommates. Some are still my best friends, favorite people, and life partners. Others smoked crazy things too late at night. One remains the only unrelated adult I’ve ever yelled at. (Surprise! It was over the dishes.). Was kind of like that. That’s why it’s important to discuss food, money, and galley-related issues up front. It puts you o...You’re ...

It Was Easy. You Can Too. You know when it's August, but your iPod thinks it's December, and it plays " Do They Know it's Christmas. And you find yourself silently mouthing "Tonight thank god it's them, instead of YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" at a nice Asian man who clearly thinks you're about to steal his bag of lychees? It's since been updated and refined by half the population of Guam, but the essentials are there: four ingredients, a bowl, a pot, and time. So I tried it myself, and whaddayaknow? Add water and s...

Spaghetti with Asparagus, Egg, and Parmesan: a Mutant Freak of Deliciousness. This post first appeared in April 2009. So, when I invent something that actually works, it’s like … it’s like … hm … how to express this without resorting to hyperbole? I have it. It’s like riding a golden unicorn over a rainbow while world peace breaks out in the background. Or U2 playing an acoustic gig in my living room as I’m hand-fed chocolate-covered strawberries by Raoul Bova. 1) To cut the fat even further, omit ½...

19-Hour Food Network Running Diary: The Whole Thing and Various Conclusions. This piece first appeared in 2009. Happy New Year! This past Wednesday, I watched an entire broadcast day of the Food Network and blogged about it. Then I slept for 67 straight hours. Finally, I thought there would be more 3/4-sleeve sweaters. Turns out, the chefs prefer long sleeves rolled up. (Except Giada. You can always count on Giada.). The whole thing is attached below, in chronological order from 9:30am to 5am the next mo...
