When I’m in Chicago, my boyfriend likes to cook breakfast for the two of us. The thing he always includes on the menu are his killer hash browns. I was missing him today so I decided to recreate his specialty. |

Independence Day is upon us, and I’m feeling quite festive. You probably think there is no way hot dogs can be healthy, and 9 times out of 10 you would be correct. But if you get the low-fat, all-natural, grass-fed, raised-by-nuns-on-a-sunny-pasture-near-a-rolling-creek kind you can still enjoyed those encased meat treats sans guilt. |

Homemade tomato sauce is one of life’s simple pleasures. Unfortunately, most folks rarely get to indulge because tomato sauce has a reputation for being labor intensive. I have one thing to say about that: PSSSHHH! |

This is a weekend meal for me, mostly because it takes about 30 minutes to prepare. I realized when planning for this dinner that I was gonna dirty up quite a few pots, so I made one pot do double boil duty. |

This week instead of cooking I focused on some healthy convenience foods to get me through meal times without resorting to eating out. By the time I get home I feel pretty flattened and have no brain power to cook, which is why this meal requires little mental circuitry to prepare. |

Tonight I got home ready to make a meal I’d been thinking about all day, when I realized that I left the veggies at work. I thought about what I could throw together that incorporates the two things I wanted to get out of dinner, namely vitamins and fiber. Legumes to the rescue! |

I call this thing I just made up Omelet on a Pita because it’s basically the same ingredients I would whip together for a Sunday morning omelet, except they’re not actually IN an omelet. Just read on and I’ll explain myself. |

There’s only one rule to making quick and cheap dinners for yourself, and that’s to keep a stocked pantry. I always have canned beans, whole wheat pastas, vinegars, spices and frozen veggies on hand. You’d be amazed what I can come up with when it looks like there’s nothing in the house. |
