Hi friends! This post is all about what to do with that rump roast, or sirloin tip roast, you saw on sale and don’t quite know what to do with because let’s face it… roast night was usually something our mum’s did. Now, we have to stay away from our parents (thanks, COVID) but that comfort food from my childhood is totally all I want. How to make a pot roast: Bring your meat out of the fridge to start coming up to room temperature. Chop an onion, a few celery ribs, 4 carrots and 4 potatoes. They can be decently large chunks because pot roast cooks low and slow. Start off with a metal pot. It’s best if you don’t use a non-stick in this situation because we want to sear the meat and then deglaze the pan. Enamel on cast iron is okay too (like Staubbs or le…

Hey Guys! For the second installation of my Sunday Dinner Series, I wanted to share this twist on an Ina Garten recipe that my mum has made some tweaks to that made it easier and more our tastes. For those that don’t know, one of the great spices in a mild Italian sausage is ground fennel seeds- so the addition of fresh fennel is a perfect pairing. Rather than a tomato-heavy sauce, some cream binds everything together. Fennel and Sausage Rigatoni 1 package of mild italian sausage (decased) 1 fennel bulb, diced 1 small onion 1 clove minced garlic 1.5 cups of heavy cream 1 cup white wine 1 tbsp tomato paste Herbs/Spices: ground fennel seeds, red pepper flakes Ground Parmesan for garnish Enough rigatoni for four Like I said, this is an adaptation of Ina Garten’s recipe that you can find here on James Beard Foundation’s website. The main…

Hi guys! Today’s Sunday Dinner post is about a peach raspberry crisp my family shared and enjoyed recently. This type of dessert is so perfect for a Sunday dinner because it comes together quite quickly and can be made with fruit from your freezer. Crisp is an amazing way to use up fruit that is super ripe. In this crisp we used previously frozen peaches that we had gotten at the farmer’s market the year before and gorgeous fresh raspberries. Want to know how? Peach-Raspberry Crisp $7.96 Serves 8, or $0.96 per serving ($1.86 per serving with a scoop of Haagen Dazs vanilla ice cream) Four or five peeled peaches (can be frozen slices)- ~$2 1 pint of raspberries – $4.50 Oats ½ cup – $0.16 Flour ½ cup – $0.05 Butter (just enough melted butter to bind the oats, brown sugar and flour together)-  ~$0.50 Brown sugar ½ cup-…

Hi Guys! This is a brand new series on The Broke Girl Blog and it’s called “Sunday Dinners”- basically, all of those meals our mama’s and grandma’s and dad’s and grand-dad’s did so well that we somehow just don’t know how to make ourselves. Don’t worry, I’ve got you. Actually… my mom’s got you because she’s the one who taught me this. Also, I texted her like eighty times writing this. I had to get it authentic, guys. That’s not code for “Mom always does it but I help” at alllllllll. These won’t be the cheapest meals in the world- these are the ones all of the cheap cooking can help you afford, so you can do that favorite meal every now and again, or when it’s a special Sunday. Traditional Spaghetti and Meatballs Meatballs: 1 Pack ground pork (~3/4 pd) 1 Pack ground beef (~3/4 pd) 2 slices of bread…
