BrokeAss Gourmet

Have you heard of BrokeAss Gourmet? If not, you probably should go check it out, even if you're not "broke." (If you are, you should definitely go check it out.) It's not the simplest food in the world to make, and sometimes does take a decent time investment, but what I've made using Gabi Moskowitz's recipes has been consistently excellent. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have been amazed and delighted every time I've made her food.

That includes:

• College Nachos (I credit these for my also BrokeAss-loving boyfriend. "Sure, you can help. Huh, you're pretty handy with a knife. Do you cook?")
• Corn and Shrimp Dumplings (probably my favorite)
• Oven-fried Sriracha Chicken (made that one last night)
• Jalapeno Cheeseburgers with Caramelized Onion and Avocado
• Sweet Potato Oven-fries with Sriracha Aioli (made my own aioli for this one; if you don't know how, you should learn)
• Sweet-Potato Cheddar Biscuits with Spicy Chicken Sausage Gravy (I think we actually used andouille sausage; try it with raspberry beer)
• Chicken Ramen Soup (knowing how to fancy-up ramen is a fundamental skill for fast, cheap, simple cooking)
