It isn't always easy to eat healthy while subsisting on a steady diet of Ramen noodles and pancake mix. While you try to make the best nutritional choices on a limited income, it isn't always easy coming up with creative new ways to serve up macaroni and cheese.
While most of your culinary choices might be modest, at least it doesn't have to be the same boring thing each night.
If you have a recipe idea that helped you through the lean times, share it with Barry, and we'll post it here.
I'm living in a one bedroom apartment, and my parents want to come by to visit this weekend. My place is a total wreck. What should I do?
Messy In Minneapolis
Dear Messy,
Often, a visit from the family can be a stressful experience. Children who have left the nest want to show their parents that they are independent and can take of themselves. Well...screw that nonsense. This will be your lucky weekend!
You know for certain that mom will see your mess, and shake her head in disapproval--right before she sets to work cleaning your entire apartment! And while she's turning your sty into a liveable environment, dad will probably slip you a few extra bucks as long as you "don't tell your mom."
Don't sweat it! You should invite them over more often.
