This morning I had an interview for a scholarship opportunity that I’m pretty excited about. As I was sitting there, nervously trying to keep it cool while I tried to see if I was sweating through my make up, one of the scholarship committee members was perusing my resume and saw my information about my…

Sweet Potato Soup
The weather has turned deliciously cool around here again,which, as I’m sure you can guess, is an obvious reason why the crock pot belongs out on my counter. I’ve made quite a variety of crock pot recipes, from Chicken Noodle Soup, to a Simple Lentil Soup, to a hearty Lentil Chili. The other day I…
Lentil Chili
Last week’s meal plan featured a new crock pot recipe (apparently crock pot recipes are becoming the underlying theme here at Sound Eats). See, we’re big fans of chili in this house, and all kinds of chili at that. Really, all you need is a pound of ground meat, a couple cans of kidney beans,…
Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
The seasons are changing, allergens are everywhere, and every other person you talk to has a cold. Not to mention the fact that I attend classes at a public university, I work at a hospital, and my husband’s a teacher. Yup – it’s germ-fightin’ time. It was bound to happen. It does about twice a…
Detox Pizzas
Last week I was on a bit of a detox of sorts. Not the kind of detox where you only drink lemon-cayenne-maple syrup-water in order to drop five pounds by Sunday, but the kind of detox where I was trying to give my body a break since my hormones had become seriously effed up. So,…
Simple Lentil Soup
Y’all, this is one of those things that I can’t believe I’m blogging about. I threw this soup together in minutes before I had to go to work one day, and the ingredients were so lackluster on their own, that I really had no idea what was going to be in my crock pot when…
Roasted Tomato, Cannellini & Goat Cheese Tart in a Quinoa Crust
I think by now, it’s pretty clear how gung-ho I am about fast and easy meals, particularly ones that can be made ahead of time. Sometimes, though, I like to walk into my kitchen and step away from the constraints of time and a busy life. I like to just take my time, create, and…
Veggie Bean Enchiladas
Good morning! We’re whirling away already over here – literally! I’ve got the dehydrator humming in the background with some kale chips. Can’t wait to see how they come out! I’m also going to be making some more dehydrated green bean and sweet potato chips later, too. One thing I’ve noticed since being diagnosed with…
Pineapple Crock Pot Chicken Wings
Turns out I’m not the only one who finds meal planning to be a budget and waistline saver! I thought I’d jump in and give y’all an update on the Crock Pot Chicken Wings we made on Monday night, since I ended up changing the recipe ever so slightly. The marinade was really simple. In…
French Inspired Date Night (frugalized)
What another wonderful weekend! Saturday was a terrific day that started with a yoga heart opening workshop, led to some errands, a birthday lunch with my sister-in-law, and some good old fashioned relaxation with the husband. That night we wanted to do something fun, but we didn’t want to do anything out since we just…
