This is really not a post. I mean, it is technically one but my intention isn’t to give you guys a recipe for an easy chicken ramen noodle soup… but I do go over it so keep reading, I actually included the information. I mainly wanted to show some vital signs. I’ve been away for a […]
This awesome recipe concludes my budget cooking repertoire for the weekend. I have meals to last me a couple of weeks now. If you missed my previous 2 recipes… here they are: Chicken Soup and Beet and Cole Slaw Salad. Garbanzos have been an obsession of mine since I can remember.I love them in cold […]
To continue with my series of posts on quick and easy AND… inexpensive meals and budget cooking (check my beet salad recipe here), I want to talk about chicken soup. I’m from Venezuela. We eat chicken soup like 3 times a week. I’m not joking. And when sick, add 4 more days of chicken soup […]
Not many people are fond of black beans. Count myself out! Love black beans, as a side or as its own dish. Extremely popular in all of latin cuisine, black beans are delicious but ONLY when prepared right. I guess that’s pretty much any ingredient. A few years ago, when I was getting started […]
Making ramen stock from scratch is a labor intensive process. A traditional pork stock for ramen can take up to 12 hours. I don’t have 12 hours during the day to watch after a stock pot (I have a day job), but nobody said I needed 12 continuous hours. In the course of 2 evenings […]
Yet Another pumpkin soup recipe. I know. The least original thing I could have come up with but it’s fitting right around this time of the year and I like it, so I made it and wanted to share it with you as well, in case you haven’t tried making it. It is really easy […]
This simple soup for me was about minimizing waste and trying to make something tasty out of ingredients I can’t seem to find a use for sometimes. I’ve been staring at these 2 artichokes sit at the bottom of my refrigerator for almost a week, pathetic, but can’t get myself motivated enough to cook them […]
I’ve been busy with house and work related stuff lately. I’m absolutely over it too. I’ve been wanting to find a window to come back to my blog and add more entries. Tonight I found a window. Chicken soup. Everybody knows this one, if not how to make it from scratch, definitely how to […]
I finally found some time to cook for the week. I love making soups. They are relatively simple to make and can be stored very conveniently. I used to eat lunch out everyday at work which was expensive. Recently (a few years ago) I started looking for a way to save money on food so […]
This is something I made when I was away from my blog during a trip to Hawaii and I’ve been meaning to document it since, I really liked it and I hope you can enjoy it too. My understanding is that a proper bisque uses rice instead of potatoes as the thickener, in this case […]
