Representin’ at Renegade

“Oh stop it, STOP it, Renegade Craft fair….(sobs incoherently)…you had me giant stuffed penis…”
I’m not going to lie to you, I’ve never liked crafts or any type of craftiness. I scrapbook because I am overly obsessed with visual pictures, not to mention the super cool stickers you can decorate your pages with. But I, like [...]

Gone Baby Gone

Sorry folks, I’m packing it up for awhile, as if you couldn’t tell. Health issues, children, and school burden equal no time for blogging.
Perhaps we’ll meet again in another forum….

Fooooooddd….

Picture me saying  this as though I were a zombie. Only instead of “braiiiiiins…” you have…well, you get the idea. I’m pressed for time with finals but here are some pictures of food I’ve made recently. I also don’t have time to write down these recipes but if you email me, I will get them [...]

Cheap Eats

If you’re like most people in this country, things have gotten pretty tight as far as money is concerned. If you’re like me and have a family of five and you live modestly (in other words, the hubs I put together don’t bring home six figures) then you start to rethink your budget without compromising [...]

Toasted Coconut Cupcakes

Today, you’re going to get a two-fer, as in two recipes on one blog. Yay you! I went on a crazy baking spree last week and in addition to the vanilla cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies I made, I also made these babies. These are the toasted coconut cupcakes with coffee buttercream from Vegan Cupcakes [...]

Nut Cheese!

So, this will be my second blog in a row where I review a product. I hope that doesn’t alienate any of my faithful readers. But it begs the question- do I actually have any faithful readers? Better yet- why in the hell do I have faithful readers? Strange. Anyhow. Today’s item is something that [...]

Keepin’ It Green

First up, we would like to thank our friends over at ReusableBags.com for their generosity in sending one of these interesting little devices. (You rule, n8!) A few months back, I went to order two of these (one for me, one for my cheapo mother) and the website told me they were out of stock. [...]

Cholent

So, we’re coming up on Passover in about another month and while I don’t feel like going into all the customs and laws that the Jewish people must observe, I will tell you i found a pretty decent recipe full of yummy stuff to eat that does not contain chametz or kitniyot. That is, wheat, [...]

Potato Asparagus Soup

I’m thinking of changing the name of my blog to “Just Soups.” Just kidding, but it does seem that I’ve been posting an awful lot about soups lately. Speaking of awful, here’s a recipe for some potato asparagus soup that looked a little like “dirty dishwater” as a friend of mine so lovingly put it. [...]

Corn Chowder

I love soup. I especially love it when it’s chunky and hearty and full of herbs. Although, I hear that if it’s chunky, it should be called stew, but that’s neither here nor there. My family and I are on a budget, as is most of the country, so when I see something that’s relatively [...]
