First off, I want to apologize for the lack of posting over the weekend. I was in the city of sin baby…Vegas! (While there, I wore a pair of Jessica Simpson heels that I got for $40! Marked down to about 70% off the original price…damn you Macy’s sale! –Picture below!)
I want to start off today’s post with a confession…there is one thing I have a really hard time saving money on… and that my friends… is FOOD! Yes, food. I am first off…a huge foodie and second off, I enjoy making excuses as to why I can’t bring lunches from home and why I can’t cook something. (No time! Too tired! Bachelorette is on!) It’s become pretty ridiculous. And I sit around and wonder where my paychecks go… well kiddos… I’d say on average I eat about 2 meals a week at home. Maybe less than that. Let’s calculate it (even though I’d rather not)…
Breakfast
Starbucks iced tea or coffee: $2.95
Starbucks breakfast wrap: $3.50 (give or take)
Lunch:
Half sandwich and salad: $7.95
Iced tea: $2.95
Dinner:
It’s different every day but almost always: $10
My daily damage: $27.35
My WEEKLY damage: $191.45
YIKES!!!!!! Seriously? This is not okay.
So last week I was hanging out with my roomate Stephanie (I have to credit her for all her creations, because she is the QUEEN of making stuff out of things she already has in the cupboard) and she was making dinner. I just had to emulate her creation of a couscous dinner.
If I have learned anything at all about the cooking world, it is that one thing you should always have in your cupboard is COUSCOUS. It virtually never goes bad, takes less than 10 minutes to cook, is filling, and good for you! Both of our couscous dinners were a little different, so I’m going to share with you my version:
Ingredients:
1 cup of couscous
1/2 avocado
4-5 cherry tomatoes
sliced scallions
pinch or two of garlic salt
splash or two of basalmic vinegar
Directions:
Simply boil the amount required water (for the amount of couscous you use), then remove the boiling water, add couscous, cover pot and let sit for about 7 minutes or so. Then, add the avocado ( I cut mine into cubes), tomatoes, scallions, and garlic salt and basalmic vinegar! Voila! A 10 minute dinner that is quite delicious.
While I was making this creation, I thought about all the alternative ways you could make it to cater to what you have available in your kitchen. I also had some canned artichoke hearts that I thought might be delicious with the couscous and capers, some lemon juice, and some sundried tomatoes! Those ingredients are all ingredients you can keep around for awhile without worrying about them spoiling. You could really get creative and use anything!
I ran into this scenario again last night when I was visiting the units at their abode, and my madre wasn’t really in the mood to cook anything, but also didn’t want to spend money on eating out. Earlier that week she bought a huge loaf of bread from a deli and some meats, so I suggested she make some sandwiches and soup! (I made a chilled avocado soup which didn’t turn out that well :/…anyone know of a good recipe for it? Still wanna tackle it with another recipe.) I tend to not fancy lunch meats, so we had to come up with a vegetarian version for me, with what she had. This is what we came up with and it was SO delicious that I decided to bring it to lunch with me at work today (woop woop for two meals not eating out!)
Ingredients:
Bread (duh)
Cream cheese
Mayonaise
4-5 green pimento pitted olives
Half of a tomato
5-6 thin slices of a cucumber
Mild pepperocini rings
Salt & pepper
I realize those ingredients may not be everyone’s favorite, but the combination was delicious to me, and it was ALL things that she already had!
Try it! If any of you come up with a delicious (already in your kitchen) combination, let me know! 🙂
xoxo,
Hannah
