The Budget-Friendly Chef: July 2012
http://povertygourmet.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Recipe: Chickpea and Spinach Stew. One of my favorite tapas dishes is spinach with chickpeas. I love it because while the dish itself is so simple, the flavors are intense and complex. That being said, short of eating a large version of the tapas dish, it is difficult to make a meal out of it. This stew was the perfect solution! 8 cups vegetable broth. 2 cloves garlic, crushed. 2 tsp paprika (I chose to use smoked paprika to add a little flavor). 1/2 tsp ground cumin. Guest Blog...

The Budget-Friendly Chef: five year reflection and the importance of comfort food
http://povertygourmet.blogspot.com/2015/04/five-year-reflection-and-importance-of.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Five year reflection and the importance of comfort food. This blog has also been there as I've experienced loss. Halfway through my first year of graduate school, I lost my dad. It was very sudden, but I took comfort in the therapeutic aspect of cooking. Despite my ridiculous schedule with work and class, I found time to take care of myself by cooking from scratch as often as possible. And when the grief was still too much, I found myself in Israel. Farm to School Fair. Week 9 and...

The Budget-Friendly Chef: March 2012
http://povertygourmet.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2012. No, Really.I'm Back. I know, I know, it' been a while. But I really am back this time. And I'm doing these things differently this time. Since the summer of 2010, I've put on a total of twenty pounds. Now I want to take it off and keep it off.the right way. Following my nutritionist's meal plan, I'm not only eating better, but I'm exercising differently, too. When I'm not taking a fitnes class, I was just doing thirty minutes on the treadmill and two sets of ab work. I'...Since...

The Budget-Friendly Chef: July 2014
http://povertygourmet.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 20, 2014. Recipe: teriyaki tofu and veggie stir fry over brown rice. I love to make stir fries! It took some trial and error, but I've figured out the correct cooking time for tofu and various vegetables. It's easy to buy marinades and sauce to use, but for this recipe I decided to make my own teriyaki marinade in order to reduce the amount of sodium in the marinade. 2/3 cup mirin (if mirin is unavailable, dry sherry is a good substitute). 1 cup soy sauce. 45 tsp rice vinegar. 4 Add broccoli...

The Budget-Friendly Chef: Recipe: whole wheat pumpkin honey muffins
http://povertygourmet.blogspot.com/2014/11/recipe-whole-wheat-pumpkin-honey-muffins.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. Recipe: whole wheat pumpkin honey muffins. The recipe I used for these muffins is unintentionally vegan. I only had two eggs left and had already gone grocery shopping, so I had to make the decision to either use my last two eggs for the muffins or make the scrambled eggs I was craving for brunch. I don't regret my decision.the eggs were delicious! 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. 3/4 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 5 Spo...

The Budget-Friendly Chef: The Deception of Processed Food
http://povertygourmet.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-deception-of-processed-food.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2015. The Deception of Processed Food. The FDA posted a letter to their website yesterday (04/14/2015) declaring the packaging for Kind bars are misleading and need to be changed. The packaging for these bars claim that they are healthy and use a " " sign for the names of certain bars. Sure, your chips are just made of potato, oil, and salt, but it's still high in fat and sodium. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fed Up With Lunch: The School Lunch Project. No food with faces!

The Budget-Friendly Chef: Recipe: Green Bean Curry
http://povertygourmet.blogspot.com/2013/08/recipe-green-bean-curry.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. Recipe: Green Bean Curry. This recipe was my first time making yellow curry. I will say now that if you plan to make this or any other yellow curry dish, finding yellow curry paste is anything but easy. I had to go to three grocery stores before I found it. Once I found it, though, it was super cheap - I bought a huge bottle for a couple of dollars! One pound sweet potato (or Yukon Gold potato), peeled and cubed. 3 medium carrots, cut into half moons. 1 Tbs canola oil. Subscribe...

The Budget-Friendly Chef: Adventures in homemade bread crumbs and roasting veggies
http://povertygourmet.blogspot.com/2015/08/adventures-in-homemade-bread-crumbs-and.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. Adventures in homemade bread crumbs and roasting veggies. Most of you know how much I love farmers markets. Going to the one in Montclair is one of the highlights of my weekend because it usually sets my menu for the week. I've done the same with eggplant recently. I bought two eggplants at the farmers market this past Saturday. Yesterday I breaded and roasted one of them to eat with penne arrabiata. To roast green tomatoes or eggplant, follow these steps:. 2 Slice the vegetable...
