Serve up an impressive-looking yet super-simple meal that doesn’t take as long as you might think—the steak and rice cook at the same time, and there’s virtually no active prep. Toss together a side salad and serve with a cocktail (a spicy margarita, perhaps?) at your next dinner party… or maybe just for dinner tonight.
Note: Quick-cooking rice is essential to this recipe for its shorter cooking time. Regular brown rice cooks for at least 45-50 minutes.

What’s up all you party people! It’s that time of the month. (No, not that time of the month). It’s time to learn how to cook something new.
This time we’re going back to basics with our recipes with an easy peasy, Level One fajita recipe. With less than 10 ingredients, you’ll be done in 30 minutes. If you’re feelin’ hungry, and want to try something new and simple for dinner, you’ve come to the right place.
When you haven’t cooked in a while or you’re new to cooking, sometimes just one simple, delicious recipe can get you in the game. You start to cook that, maybe a few times within a couple of weeks, and then you find a more adventurous recipe. The effect keeps snowballing, and before you know, you’re regularly cooking a few times a week and have an array of recipes in your arsenal.
Fajitas were that door-opening recipe for me. They were one of the first things that I learned how to cook when I was beginning to fend for myself in the kitchen, and they still make an appearance in my regular dinner rotation. They’re delicious, they make great left-overs, plus they look fairly impressive if you’re having people over. Just look at those colors!
So today you’re going to learn the basics of this cl…

The Salvage Supperclub hosts dinners in clean, tastefully decked out dumpsters. The menus highlight ingredients frequently tossed out by home cooks – think wilted basil or bruised plums — that could be put to tastier uses.

Summer has been a little slow to come this year but it still seems everyone is on the move. People are visiting family, headed to the beach or checking out the National Parks. I can’t wait til we get to hit the road. Beyond the hassles of packing, boarding the dog and planning the trip, one of my biggest concerns is what to bring for car snacks. I don’t want to undue all the healthy eating we have been doing at home by failing to be prepared!! It never fails that we have barely made it out of the driveway and the kids are already asking what we have to eat. I have been giving this a lot of thought and this year I am prepared. Here are five snacks I will be packing.
Blueberries. Blueberries are an amazing car snack. Pick or buy them, wash them and then store them in your container of choice. They are a tasty, healthy, sweet alternative to candy and other junk food you might be tempted to pack. Plus they provide a shot of anti-oxidants, vitamin C and fiber. Perfect to keep you regular when your routine is out of whack. Read more about the benefits of eating berries here.
Nut Butter Stuffed Dates. These portable little beauties offer a hint of sweetness with a little bit of salty thrown in. There are currently so many options for different nut butters. I often use pistachio but experim…
