I found this recipe while perusing the Treasury of Chocolate cookbook. (The pictures of chocolate deserts in this book are so mouthwatering and tempting that I think I gained five pounds just by looking.) I looked at this recipe and thought to myself, "Wow, I have all those ingredients on hand, I wonder how it tastes?" And that was it, I was sold. About an hour later, I had the yummiest, gooiest

Fried chicken cutlets is a dish that I grew up eating. With pasta, lots and lots of pasta. What do you expect, my mom is Italian. It's actually pretty easy to make, and if you are not so hot on frying foods, you could always bake it. And if you want to up the tasty quotient you could turn it into Chicken Parmigiana.Here is our cast of characters for just the Chicken Cutlets:~ Boneless Skinless

I have lots of cooking plans for the upcoming week. I'm thinking of making fried chicken cutlets and whatever meat is on sale at the store. I actually made the chicken on friday and then again last night, but both times I was trying to finish in a hurry so I could head back out the door. (It's been crazy busy around my place for the last two weeks) So there was no time to take pics so I could

It's spring and almost summer, and that brings all kinds of fabulous fresh foods at the market.Did I mention that spring is my favorite seasonIt is, and not just because of all those great fresh fruits and veggies, but also because I can finally hit the beach after that long cold boring winter.Let me get back on track, I'm here to talk about food, not the beach. I'm here to talk about this:This

I told a friend that I was going to make meatloaf for my next blog post. He thought it would be too hard. What he doesn't realize is that after Mac and Cheese, the next thing I learned to make was meatloaf, from scratch. My mom's instructions were pretty simple. Open fridge, remove eggs and whatever condiments or other stuff looks good, and mix it with the ground beef and some breadcrumbs. No

I just made meatloaf with the leftover ground beef from more than just mac & cheese, and a potato salad that uses olive oil instead of mayo. Very yummy and refreshing for summer. Updates coming soon!

Ah, Mac & Cheese. I have such fond childhood memories of this classic straight from the box. It's the first thing I probably learned to cook.Yes, I said from a box. I could make it from scratch, but that wouldn't meet one of the requirements I set for this blog: cheap. Oh and easy. Anyway there are already some really great recipes for homemade Mac and Cheese like this one over at Pioneer Woman.

It's your first college apartment, and you've walked into your kitchen and you realize all you have is some paper plates and maybe some silverware you *ahem* appropriated. Sure, you've got your mom's old microwave (or maybe a nice new one), but all there is in the fridge is an assorted stack of take out containers. "Are those microwaveable?" you wonder to yourself.For the first time, your budget
