A Stroke of Genius (Thanksgiving Muffins)

Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged , , on October 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I like cheap things–cheap booze, cheap clothes, Courtney Stodden…  But I especially like cheap dinners.  This idea was a brainstorm of mine, that has been taking to another level by my roommate, her boyfriend, and that cute thing that likes me more than he should.  The turkey mixture is my original meatloaf recipe, which you [...]

Zuchinni Pasta

First of all, Happy Birthday to my lovely father, who is 50% responsible for creating this monster and 100% responsible for my love of cheese. I was so frightened and concerned by the Rapture along with Schwarzenegger’s love child that I lost my camera.  I found it two days later under my couch, but I [...]

Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Nothing gets me more than a good, homemade tomato sauce.  I’ve never sat around and made my own slow cooked-style sauce.  However, this food processor genius may be close.  It is flavorful and thick, matching the chunky, cheesy filling of these poblanos perfectly.  They aren’t too many calories sans cheese, so adjust your cheese amount if [...]

Taco-Style Veggie Rice

Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged , , on May 11, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I think I have a Mexican food addiction.  Once I learned that I could finally make rice without destroying it, all I want is rice mixed with veggies and Mexican flavorings.  Every night I’ve been fighting myself from ordering guacamole for dinner from this awesome, cheap restaurant next door to me, or throwing out my [...]

Overnight Oats

Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged , , on March 9, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

This is my new obsession.  Making oatmeal at work is awful.  Our microwave is older than I am.  If I want to make quick (and the most voluminous) oats, I would need a microwaveable safe bowl that I would have to hand wash (ew) and I would have to cart in anything I want to [...]

Orange Scented Buttermilk Corn Muffins

I hate zesting.  More than anything in the whole entire world.  More than the relentless coverage of Lindsay Lohan’s clothes during her stupid necklace trial, more than dark lip liner with light lipstick, and even more than I hate ferrets (furry, smelly spawns of satan).  However, zesting can have its triumphs and this is one.  Don’t get me wrong–it does make [...]

Shepherd’s Pie

Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged , , , on February 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Every woman needs an arsenal of man foods.  I’m not saying these are foods that we ladies can’t enjoy, but ones that are especially impressive to make for a man.  However, since I am the queen of awkward, I find a way not to put enough meat in the pie and I make Shepherd’s Pie soup, [...]

Curried Lentil Soup

Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged , , on February 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Lentils are the Jillian Michaels of seedy things, a powerhouse–just a little less angry looking.  They have a ton of protein, fiber and iron and are very filling.  I saw this recipe on Oh She Glows and stared at it for way too long before I could find the time to make it.  My apartment [...]

Chili Lime Pork Tenderloin

I have a bone to pick with NYC.  Snooki, the star of our lives and everything wonderful about reality television, was supposed to be dropped in a glass ball, like a hamster, in Times Square on New Year’s and now, she’s not.  I would like to be the first to start a motion that there [...]

Kitchen Pantry Crock Pot Chicken Thighs

If you know me at all, you know Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  This year, since Halloween was on a Sunday, I managed to find a way a way to have three different costumes, yet completely forget to eat.  One of the ingenuities of a crock pot is that it’s really easy to throw whatever you [...]
