My favorite mug is one I got at Starbucks (go-figure) when I was an undergrad. I'm pretty sure I can fit my fist in it--it's great for soup or tea or ice cream ;) My favorite glasses are a set of hand-blown stemless wine glasses. They easily hold 16oz each. Great for a bad day...or (more likely) sipping on some good old h20. Gosh, I'm boring!

Dufresne or Bayless

Cookie loves Milk! --and I love them both ;)

Greek-style grilled lamb...mmmm!

AMAZING RECIPE! I love these fritters I made them sans cilantro (i'm not a fan) and substituted some garlic for the onion (missed it in the store) but they were wonderful! The salted zucchini with the sweet corn and a healthy dollop of some Fage yogurt sent me to heaven! Thanks for sharing,

What a cool book! My all-time fave is flourless chocolate cake with ricotta cheese and fresh cherry sauce...mmmuuhmmm.

Dairy Queen's Chicken Strip Basket--fries, buttered Texas toast, breaded chicken fingers and gravy...just typing it makes my heart hurt from all the calories.

Homemade ricotta stuffed ravioli in a sauce of lemon juice with olive oil and basil is totally my favorite meal.

@hmw0029--I'm super-jealous of your 10 off 50 Thursdays!

I'm a grad student, so I appreciate all of these (common sense) tips! I regularly spend about $50 a week on groceries and I make good food! I cook everyday and bake something wonderful at least once a week. I attribute my savings to a combination of shopping the ads, (planning meals around the sale items,) and actively eliminating foods with excessive additives (i.e. anything with MSG or high fructose corn syrup on the label, too much salt, or just too many preservatives--like boxed cake-mix...oh, the horror). The resulting combination of fresh foods somehow comes out cheaper (read: $50-60 less) and of course I'm healthier for it.
Also, (I'm surprised no one has mentioned this) just using all of the food purchased every week (not letting fruit spoil and eating leftovers) seems to be the most painless trick to saving some green.
