Welcome!

Welcome!

I decided to start this blog to document some of my experiences cooking. I'm pretty broke, I have a limited pallet, I enjoy cooking, and I want to start cooking more-primarily simple dishes that will taste good, will last a few meals, and are cheap.

I'm pretty broke. I'm looking for an additional or a new job, make minimum wage, and work as a musician for the bulk of my income at the moment. That should be an indicator, "bulk of income" as a musician means-ramen is fair game. I'm looking for meals that will last at least 3 meals and can be frozen.

I'm working within a few set confines: I do not own a microwave, I live by myself-so if it's not a single serving-it has to keep for at least a week, I can't eat heavily spiced foods (medical stuff...IBS blows), and I get impatient.

My limited pallet is a product of a number of things. Recently, I developed IBS. So the spicy, heavily spiced (pepperoni, other awesome processed meats) are no gos for me in most situations. The other thing? I grew up eating meat, potatoes, and breads. Not a heavy emphasis on fruits or vegetables. I'm incorporating more and more of them into my cooking. You will see that in this blog.

Being that I am looking for an additional job due to my current one not providing the kind of hours I need, I have a lot more time where I can cook. Cooking is a lot cheaper than eating McDonald's & Gioradnos...even though I love them both a tremendous amount. Yes, I am the guy that eats a Large Meal from McDonald's while watching Super Size Me and gets hungry. Now, that I have the time to & no excuses-why not? I'm going to learn a lot and share the experience with you.

I'll add pictures and details on the various things that I am trying as I make them or if it's a regular dish, as I have the chance.

Thanks for reading!
