Ah, the joys of college life, where “cooking dinner” means microwaving a can of Chef Boyardee, cup noodles are an honorary food group, and the only thing emptier than your wallet is your stomach. For freshmen, it is almost a rite of passage to suffer through months of overpriced cafeteria food and MSG-laden instant meals, but somewhere around the 16th box of frozen chimichangas, you hit a point where you’d do just about anything for a good, home-cooked meal. But for those of us who don’t know their way around a kitchen (read: most of us), diving headlong into the world of cooking can be a daunting task. So for all the hungry college students of the world who are looking to test the culinary waters, I would like to share with you a local classic that was one of my first dishes, and the perfect dish for the amateur college chef: Hamburger Curry. Curry, off the top of my head, originated from India, or maybe Thailand or something; I can’t be bothered to Google it, and quite frankly, it doesn’t matter, because when locals eat local food, it doesn’t even cross our minds what country we may have borrowed the idea from. Here’s all you need to know about curry: kinda spicy, serve it over rice, broke da mouth. If you want to be technical, local curry probably has the most in common with Japanese-style curry: thick, robust, and brown, but not as rich or milky as some other varieties. In fact, some local curry favorites like chicken katsu curry (curry with fried chicken cutlet) and beef curry (curry with stew-style beef chunks) are served exactly as you might find them in Japan. While I will not claim that hamburger curry (or any other local dish for that matter), is completely original, it’s a distinctly local spin on curry, a down-to-earth dish that wouldn’t feel out of place at a beachside family potluck, and most importantly, is cheap and easy to make. So here’s what you’ll need and how much it'll set you back: -1 pot of white rice, cost: pennies if you buy a decent sized bag [see Steph's blog for all you need to know about rice and Chinese cooking!] -1 potato, cost: $0.50 -1 onion, cost: $0.50 -1 cups frozen peas & carrots, cost: $1.00 -1 small can of mushrooms, cost: $1.00 -1 package S&B Golden Curry Mix (half a box), cost: $2.00 [check the Asian foods aisle at your local supermarket] -1 lb. ground beef, cost: $2.00 [go ahead and buy the cheapest grade, we’ll be draining off the fat anyways] 1. Defrost your frozen veggies, chop your onion and cut your potatoes into bite-size chunks, keeping in mind that they will shrink a little while stewing. 2. Brown and drain the ground beef. If you don’t know what that means, stir your ground beef around a pan over medium heat until it turns brown, and then pour out the fat. If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! You’ve just completed the hardest step! 3. Brown the onions in a 3 quart pot. Add the beef and 3 cups of water and bring to a boil. Then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes. 4. Add curry mix (I like to cut the big block into smaller pieces so it mixes faster) and stir until evenly mixed. 5. Add potatoes, frozen veggies, and mushrooms and bring the pot to a boil again. Lower heat and simmer for another 20 minutes. 6. Serve over rice and enjoy! Makes about 15 small servings, or 8-10 average-sized meals depending on your appetite. And there you have it, assuming you managed to avert total disaster, you’ve just whipped up a week’s worth of hearty, home-cooked meals for less than the price of a two-entree plate from Panda Express. Keep in mind that the recipe above is just a rough set of guidelines for quick, cheap, and easy hamburger curry catered to my tastes. The great thing about curry is that there’s plenty of room to bring in your own creativity, so don't be afraid to experiment with different types of veggies and protein! So the next time you're down to your last $20 that needs to last you until your next paycheck, give this recipe a try! You might just find that doing some local cooking is the trick to keeping both your stomach and your wallet full!

Update your home and make it a space you love with these big-impact, low-budget home decorating ideas! When it comes to updating and decorating my home, I'm all about low-budget projects and affordable decor that make a big impact. Why spend a lot of money to update and decorate your home when you can create the look for less? Today, I thought it would be helpful to share some of my favorite budget-friendly home decor ideas that make a big impact for less. Whether it's a complete room makeover, a new statement piece, or a quick room refresh, there's no need to spend a lot of money to create a beautiful home you love. Some of these big-impact budget decorating ideas involve a little DIY, but I promise they are completely doable and worth the effort. 1. DRESS UP YOUR WINDOWS Custom window treatments can quickly blow a budget, but there are ways to get the custom look for less. Sourcing curtains from more affordable stores such as HomeGoods, IKEA, and Overstock are great alternatives to more expensive options. I have white curtains from IKEA and green curtains from Overstock that I love and highly recommend. Are you looking for more of an impact? Consider painting interior windows deep charcoal gray or black (mine are painted Iron Ore) and adding bamboo shades. DECORATING TIP: Hang curtains halfway between the top of the window trim and the base of the ceiling (or crown molding) and wide enough so the edge of the curtain skims the side of the windows. 2. CREATE AN ACCENT WALL I'm a big fan of adding drama with accent walls and architectural details. Great options are painting the end of a hallway, adding bold and colorful wallpaper to a bedroom, or creating a custom wood wall treatment. Are you renting? Removable or temporary wallpaper is a fantastic way to update walls without a long-term commitment. Have you considered painting your ceiling? Ceilings are a great place to have fun with color or wallpaper. 3. ADD WALL MOLDING Board and batten style molding and plank walls are my go-to wall treatments to give a room an affordable and drastic style boost. 4. INCORPORATE A UNIQUE PIECE OF FURNITURE OR DECOR I have nothing against big box stores for home basics, but shopping vintage is the best way to give your decor the extra boost it needs for a custom look. Opt for a unique piece of furniture over a basic TV stand, replace ordinary art with a one-of-a-kind vintage oil painting, or replace builder-grade lighting with a cool antique alternative. See my favorite ways to mix vintage and modern for more effortless decorating. 5. ADD PLANTS Incorporating plants is a simple way to add life, and texture and instantly brighten a space. Need help transitioning from faux to real plants? These low-maintenance house plants are my go-to plants for easy care and maintenance. 6. PAINT I've painted everything from windows, doors, and walls to furniture and decor and I'm always amazed at the power of paint. A simple can of paint can drastically change the look and feel of a room or breathe new life into a dated piece of furniture. 7. CHANGE LIGHTING OR CEILING FANS Swapping out a dated lamp, fan, or light fixture for one that's more your style is a DIY project even a beginner can do. I'm a huge fan of adding vintage lighting to my home. If you also love the look of vintage, this round-up of vintage-inspired schoolhouse lights may be helpful. 8. UPDATE HARDWARE Don't just limit yourself to cabinets. Swapping out the hardware on furniture can make just as a dramatic difference as replacing a few bathroom knobs or kitchen cabinet pulls. 9. CHANGE THROW PILLOWS I constantly rotate and change decor, especially textiles, blankets, and throw pillows from one room to another. It's one of my favorite ways to change and update a room for minimal cost. 10. UPDATE DOORS Update your curb appeal by painting or replacing your front door or if you're feeling a little more daring and ambitious, try adding a barn or vintage door to a closet, pantry, or laundry room. Facebook Marketplace, Habitat for Humanity, and auctions are fantastic sources for unique and affordable vintage and antique doors. 11. ADD A RUG The right size area rug can instantly bring a room together, ground furniture, and complete the overall look and feel of a room. Not to mention, it's a fantastic way to add color and texture. I know it can be discouraging when your home isn't where you want it to be, but remember, creating a home takes time and should be enjoyed, at every stage of the journey.
