Super-Goud Breakfast Burritos
I looked in the freezer Halloween morning and screamed out in terror! There were only two breakfast burritos left!! I was truly shaken to the core… Thank God I noticed before they were all gone. Mike literally survives on these things. Many, many moons ago, when Mike got his first full-time teaching position, his schedule…

Mile-High Biscuits & Gravy
When I was growing up, our big family trip every year was driving down to Hilton Head, South Carolina over the week of spring break. It’s a long drive – 15 hours. We never did it in one day… We usually crashed somewhere once we hit North Carolina. And as kids, North Carolina was the…

Melt a Piece of American Cheese on Your Eggs
The Cursing Gourmet Tip of the Day: Melt a piece of American cheese on top of your scrambled eggs. My girl Sarah did this way back in the day, and I’ve been doing it ever since. Sure, I often trow some shredded cheese right into my scramble mix, but there’s something about melting a slice…

Kings has better selection and prices on the types of organic foods I buy than their competitors. Period. So it makes sense for me (and anyone who shops primarily in one grocery store)…

Take a Gourmet Soup and Make It Your Own
The Cursing Gourmet Tip of the Day: Take a box (or can) of gourmet soup and make it your own. Don’t get me wrong – I love a good ol’ fashioned can of Campbell’s Chunky Salty-as-Hell Chicken Noodle Soup when I’m sick, and even sometimes when I’m not. And I often keep a can or…

Clean As You Go
The Cursing Gourmet Tip of the Day: Clean as you go. Omgosh I’m TERRIBLE at cleaning as I go! I’ll do great 3 days in a row, then it’ll all go to shit and there will be days’ worth of dishes/etc. piled up in the sink because I still haven’t unloaded the dishwasher after running…

Fancy Sandwiches!
The Cursing Gourmet Tip of the Day: Fancy Sandwiches! Fancy sandwiches are one of my favorite kinds of quick/easy meals. Even when I don’t have leftover chicken to use, certain sandwiches can still be pretty quick. One of my faves is Martha Stewart’s Apricot Chicken Melt. I LOVE sweet and salt together, so this fancy…

Ask For Help! (Duh.)
The Cursing Gourmet Tip of the Day: Ask for help! Chances are there are at least a few people in your life who are great cooks. Maybe your mom, maybe some of your aunts or cousins or friends, maybe even a couple of the men in your life. Maybe you know even more than you…
