Lou's Clues: Spicing up your scratch kitchen
5:00 PM 3/23/2010
Whether it be a shelf, a cupboard or a complete closet or room, your pantry can be a scary place. It's that place in my life where $6.00 bottles of some celebrity Chef's spice blend gets eaten up like Pac-Man eats dots. It's the same place that swallows simple jars of paprika and garlic powder,...
I suppose it's a little unfair of me to keep extolling the virtues of my "Scratch Kitchen" concept without really telling you the staple ingredients you need to have on hand for this method to work. So, starting the week, I'm going to tell you about a Scratch Kitchen staple, the potato, and give...
Lou's Clues: Chippin' on the cheap: Tortilla chips for 50 cents a bag!
11:00 AM 12/9/2009
How about if I told you that you can get a large bag of great-quality tortilla chips for only about 50 cents per bag, as opposed to the $2.99 you're probably paying for your Tostitos? And just to sweeten this even more, how about I tell you that this deal is available year-round, and doesn't...
As you've probably guessed by now, I'm a big fan of home cooking. That's not to say that I don't enjoy a good meal out once in a while, or that I can't appreciate the convenience of the occasional microwave dinner, but chances are if I can make it from scratch, I will. And this isn't just a matter...
I read a ton of advice on how to save money in the kitchen, and most of the advice comes from the very areas that make us spend more money!
I mean really, an appliance company telling us to buy a freezer so we can save money buying bulk, or, the mailed coupons that tell us that we can save 50...
In my last blog, I introduced you to the Chef Louie Dinner Party with my quick and customizable recipe for some rockin' ravioli. This week, we're continuing the party with my "quick" and easy sauce, as promised. I also have a great recipe for you to finish off the festivities: dessert ravioli!...
Lou's Clues: Dirt cheap dinner parties
1:00 PM 7/22/2009
Hello, WalletPop readers! Chef Louie here again, bringing you the best in cheap eats with dinners meant to save you mucho dinero! This week, we're going to broach a subject that many think can't be done on the cheap: dinner parties! If you're like me, you love eating with friends, but you hate...
This week I'm bringing you a hearty, thrifty remix of one of the most popular recipes of all time: hamburger pie! Also known as shepherd's pie, this traditional Irish dish consists of a meat base (originally lamb), a layer of vegetable (usually green beans), and mashed potato as the topper. It's a...
Summer has officially arrived, which means humid air and a veggie garden ready for the eating. Sounds like salad time to me! Problem is, take a family of four to a salad/buffet restaurant, and you can easily be out 30 bucks or more -- and that's without drinks. What's a family to do? Bring the...
Besides saving money, I'm a freak for saving time. I know how difficult it is to work all day, then come home and cook yourself and your tribe a great dinner before you all waste away from starvation. OK, that may be a little dramatic, but I know that when I get home I am famished, and I bet you...
