Couscous Salad

March 21, 2012

In my second trip to Costco last week for some more produce (Matt and I both fell in love with the sliced apples they had there), I found a 3 lb bag of brussels sprouts for $3.99 – quite a steal in my opinion. The problem was, I had to then eat the sprouts before [...]

Lasagna Cups

March 5, 2012

After the Chicken Taco Cups I made last week, I had lots of leftover wonton wrappers.  Trying to throw away as little as possible, all while satisfying a craving, I decided to try a recipe I spotted on Pinterest for Lasagna Cups.  I made a few modifications to the recipe – a big one including [...]
