    Grilled chicken legs doused in Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce

    So it’s expensive at times to eat better right? Buy meats marked for quick sale and get several meals out of them. These chicken legs were from a big pile of meat I grilled the  day before. I took two of them and poured a little of Frank’s Red Hot Wings Buffalo sauce on them. They were excellent!

  • Chicken Jalapeño Scramble

    Chicken Jalapeño Scramble

    Need a quick, affordable breakfast? Try this one on for size. A word of caution, you better be hungry.

    Slice up a couple of jalapeño peppers, half an onion, and toss them into a skillet with some butter to sauté. While that’s going on, I cracked two eggs into a bowl and beat them well. I prefer to add about a tablespoon of heavy cream to my eggs, but that is not necessary.

    Next, pour your eggs into the skillet. Grate some cheese of your choice, I used a mix of Colby Jack & Pepper Jack. Put a bit of the cheese into the eggs and set the rest aside. Give the eggs a quick stir.

    The little wife picked up a package of chicken at the store pretty cheap. OK, real cheap. I took one of those that was already cooked, diced it up, and in it went. The whole thing took about twenty minutes and cost less than the price of a fast food breakfast. It tasted better too.

  • Veg-Heavy Stir Fry

    We were talking about a dinner we’d made and the wife pointed out that this was a myth-busting meal. Whether through ignorance or malice I cannot say, but low-carb diets are often maligned as not containing enough vegetables. So, I present to you a veg-heavy stir-fry.

    We’ve turned food preparation time into family time together. Everyone gets in on prepping the ingredients before we start cooking two batches. We’re blessed to have two wok-style pans. That way I can add a little sausage and egg into mine as well as a little extra kick. We each took what we wanted and tossed it into a pan of hot oil.

    • jalapeños
    • bell pepper
    • cabbage
    • almonds
    • mushrooms
    • snow peas
    • broccoli
    • onions
    • zucchini
    • garlic
    • water chestnuts
    • sausage
    • eggs
    • sriracha
    • assorted oils
      • olive
      • sesame
      • chili

    Myth buster. Low-carb is not low-vegetables. Secondly all of the ingredients for this, allowing about $3.00 for the oils, cost about $15.00. These two pans worked out to six individual meals. Myth two busts an excuse too, at $2.50/meal it’s hard to claim eating healthy is too expensive.
