Grown Up Treats

since i moved away from home and am on a strict budget, my treat to myself is a little jar of artichoke hearts soaked in olive oil and spices.
sooo good. i chill them and eat them straight from the jar.
they're qute pricy, but so worth it :]

From A Hamburger Today

McDonald's Big Mac, The AHT Review

that was awesome.
really had me going for a little bit, but i as well must admit, once you started the crazy metephors about eating it, i was starting to doubt you haha.

although i don't eat fast food much, i must admit, when i crave a burgur, the first place i go is mcdonalds for a big mac. at a mere 95lbs, i can handle that ;] haha

Cheap Meals!

as a college student myself, I found all of this extremely helpeful and thanks to all of you!!
from one poor student to another, or to a single mom, or someone just trying to cut costs, I leared A LOT of tricks from my mom.

*things that you can cook in one pan without dirtying too many dishes usually mean its something cheap.
a personal favorite of mine is a dish where you cook those spiral pastas, i believe they are rotini? in a large pot, drain and set aside. then brown some sausage with onions in the same pot, drain your meat and add the noddles along with some half and half, shredded mozerella cheese and raw spinach. stir and and s&p to taste, along with any seasonings you enjoy, i like cayanne :] oh and top with parmisan.
makes a lot of food, so you can save the rest and it heats up great the next day!

another good one is just as simple. you can substitute the shrimp with chicken though as I know sometimes if you don't buy shrimp on sale, its pretty pricy.
but in a large pot cook shrimp, and then in the same water, cook your pasta, drain and set aside. (of course if you use chicken you'd want to cook your pasta first, drain the pasta and then cook the chicken with the veggies in the pot)
then cook some chopped bell peppers and onions in the pot add your meat and pasta along with a little packet of 4 cheese sauce (this involves adding milk but the packet itself is only like $2), or something comprable ie ragu alfredo sauce from a jar, ect. stir until your sauce is warm.
again, makes alot and reheats great!

i noticed that grilled cheese was only mentioned once!
get creative with it :] i like wheat bread and swiss cheese with spinach. YUM. and its always good with a bowl of soup
