Whether you or someone you love has food allergies, you just want to control the quality of ingredients in the things that you’re eating, or you want to shave some serious cheddar off your monthly food bills, here are 6 of my favorite, crave-worthy copycat Asian takeout recipes to make at home.
Whenever I talk to my dad about budgeting, he always brings up the warehouse clubs…groan. Don’t get me wrong, I think warehouse clubs are a great idea in theory, but the reality is that the quality of the products you find there in bulk are sub-par to those you’d buy individually, with rare exception.
Suddenly finding out that you have a food allergy can be not only surprisingly expensive but downright depressing — especially when that means you can no longer indulge in sacred American food traditions, like Girl Scout Cookie season.
I love mint in the summertime. The first sip of a mint julep during Derby Days in May always gives me hope that vacation is around the corner — and nothing seems to soothe a hot, humid summer swelter in the height of August quite like an iced tea with mint.
One of the first things I ever pinned to Pinterest was this (adapted) recipe from Muffin Tin Mania, loving how simple it was: one blender full makes 12 servings, or one week’s worth of fresh green juice for two adults (with one cheat day somewhere in there), frozen in cupcake pans. Just pop one of the frozen cups into a blender, add coconut water or almond milk, blend, and go! Way easier and oodles cheaper than the juice bar or a fancy cleanse.
Your votes were unanimous: the grocery diet experiment lives on! As I approach the end of Week 2, I couldn’t be more thrilled about your decision for me to keep going, so thank you!
To those who’ve known me for years (or worked with me for any length of time), it should come as no surprise that the possible end of my grocery diet experiment has been brought about by my greatest and oldest ally (or is that nemesis?): Coffee.
Literally putting my grocery diet experiment on hold, the past two days I found myself with neither the energy to cook nor the appetite for food, finally succumbing to this nasty sinus cold that’s been making its way around Boston and the Swap office, in particular — swapping germs is not a fun type of swap
Again, I’m blown away by the outpouring of support and excitement about this grocery diet experiment of mine.
Thanks to everyone for their Facebook and Twitter comments in support of my “grocery diet” experiment!
