I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you Sprout & Pea fol­low­ers. You inspire me to cook and cre­ate each day and frankly with­out you, Sprout & Pea just wouldn’t be as spe­cial. So thank you for all of your con­tin­ued sup­port and moti­va­tion! I’m excited to be head­ing home to visit my par­ents in Miami this Thanks­giv­ing and there will be a big report on our meal to fol­low. In the mean­time, I thought I would put together a lit­tle roundup of some dishes that will cer­tainly hit the spot on Turkey Day. I hope you all have a won­der­ful Thanks­giv­ing filled with friends, fam­ily and a whole lotttta deli­cious food! Read more:

While think­ing up cre­ative ideas for new $5 meals, my mind started to wan­der across the archives of my blog and it sud­denly hit me that I have, over he course of the past few years, made quite a few meals that cost me $5 or less. So, I’ve decided to com­pile them here as a lit­tle inspi­ra­tion to those tak­ing on the chal­lenge. I’m not doing a break­down for each, but if there are any ques­tions or debates, feel free to shout them out, and keep your recipes com­ing! Here are a few of my favorites… Read more:

There’s a first time for every­thing, and last week­end just so hap­pened to be my first time in Pitts­burgh, Penn­syl­va­nia. I spent my Fourth of July explor­ing a new city and relax­ing in a nearby rural sub­urb with good com­pany, deli­cious food, sun­shine, cats, dogs and yes, even the Amish. I even had my first intro­duc­tion to Johnny Cakes (also known as corn­meal pan­cakes) and I can’t wait to get the recipe for this new favorite tasty break­fast treat. Before the fire­works set off and after a lit­tle game of bad­minton, we stuffed our­selves full with burg­ers and hot dogs topped with grilled kale, along­side lentil salad, green beans and an array of other good­ies.
