potatoes and cents

I've been in the cooking mood lately. As me and the boyfriend are trying to save money (read: We are broke college kids) We've been trying our hardest to eat our meals in and not go out to eat. We did the math for last week:
I shopped at Whole Foods and spent $39
He went to Bruno's and spent $49
TOTAL: about $90
We used to eat out almost every meal at approximately $20 a pop. 20X2=$40 a day X 7= $240 a week. So we're saving $150 a week by eating in. Soooooo, that means I can spend it on useful kitchen tools by Martha right?!!

Ok rain, Enough already

It is the end of May and the rain STILL has not let up. I'm a fan of summer and all this rain is cramping my style. I can't remember the last time I've been out in the sun. Poor tan, getting no UV love...although I'll look back on this rainy summer and be thankful for when my skin doesn't resemble my brown leather Michael Kors bag.
But I guess I'll have to make the most of it, bake some vegan cookies and muffins I think??
I made a delicious batch of apple, cinnamon choco chip muffins from the book "Naturally Thin."
They are so AMAZING! egg free, dairy free, gluten free, almost fat free and 100% worth it and really easy to make.

I wouldn't mind serving dinner tonight on these Blossom Plates from Crate and Barrel $29.99

This is on My Super Wishlist: and HOW FABULOUS is the color!? Love it.
Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer $275 on sale. if only I had one of these to do my mixing...but for now my little muscles will have to do.


Well, I'm off for some baking fun and tasty dinner!
Dinner: Fusilli with Creamy Mushroom Sauce(vegan) and small glass of chardonnay.
The boyfriend loved it (I added chicken to his bowl, for his little meat-eating self....ewewe)
