This title must be a typo. Grilled corn in an apartment kitchen? Yep. Sweet, delicious corn that brings the smell of summer right into your own kitchen. And no, you don’t need a grill. All you need is a stove and you’re good to go! Next time you see corn on sale at the grocery store, text your friends, make some $4 Apartment Ribs, $0.90 and 40 Minute Cauliflower Faux-Potato Salad and some $0.25 and 15 Minute Grilled Corn!
The purpose of this post is to free you from the belief that you need some expensive course or pre-packaged meal kit to learn how to cook! I’ll get right to it – for delicious roasted vegetables, all you need is some fresh vegetables, an oven and a little oil and salt. And 30 minutes. That’s it. You heard it here first – there is no one right, perfect way to roast vegetables. Because every vegetable is different. Everyone has different taste buds and people prefer different textures. Which is why cooking is awesome – it’s not about getting it right. It’s all about what works for you and the ingredients you have. What’s important is that with this template you start with some fresh root vegetables from the grocery store and 30 minutes later you have an undeniably healthy dinner or side dish!
What makes eggs better? Pesto. What makes beans better? Pesto. What makes salad better? Pesto. What makes my life better? Pesto (and my beautiful, loving girlfriend, of course!). I think you’re starting to see the theme here. Pesto makes everything better. And what makes better, even better? A jar of almond cashew pesto that only costs $6 and can be made in 10 minutes.
A delicious salad is often the start of a great meal and sometimes they are so good that they turn into the entire meal itself! Thankfully, all you need $2 and 10 minutes to toss one together, homemade dressing and all! Time to toss that pre-prepared salad and get thinking about your next creation!
I’m all for some great restaurant crispy Brussels sprouts but for $8-10 dollars an appetizer plate, it’s just not financially sustainable. There’s got to be a way to get these delicious vegetables on the plate every night without breaking the bank. Good thing you can pick some up at the grocery store for $2.50 and in 30 minutes you can recreate that restaurant experience for you and a friend in your own kitchen!
Love potato salad, but trying to eat less white potatoes?? Cauliflower Faux-Potato Salad to the rescue!
Tender. Crispy. Delicious. Homemade. Asparagus? Yes, asparagus. Time to move that meat to the side of the plate and explore some new flavors! Especially since you’re rarely paying more than $2.50 for a pound!
