Hello, friends! On Monday (October 15th) I’ll be learning the estimated release date of Convenient Food, which I already know will probably be in 2 weeks or so, so to celebrate being so close to shipping books out I thought I’d give y’all a chance to win a copy! I’m actually giving away 3 copies in this blog giveaway, so be sure and enter! Keep scrolling to find out the details of the Convenient Food giveaway and enter using the Rafflecopter box below.
Do you have questions about the book? Chances are they can be found on the SALE PAGE. You can order there as well, or just go straight through the purchase button below. While the cookbook is still in pre-order, it’s only $19.99! (That’s $0.05 per recipe.) This special pricing will end when the book is released and pre-orders are shipped, so get your orders in now! (PS – It’s not too early to think about Christmas gifts!)…
Convenient Food on the Press (Musings of Bri)

Hey folks! I thought I’d drag you along with me on a brief tour of Carlisle Printing in Walnut Creek, Ohio, where my cookbooks are printed! I took a flying trip up there a few weeks ago to do press checks on the first print runs of Convenient Food, my new cookbook (which is being released in 2-3 weeks, so don’t miss out on pre-ordering at a stellar price! #shamelessplug). It was great to see everyone at Carlisle again, roam the production facility and smell the fresh ink and paper, meet up with my designers Abi + Grace, and reconnect with some extended family who live in the area! Also ice cream at Walnut Creek Cheese conveniently located right next to the print shop, but more about that later.
I went up to Carlisle to do press checks, which basically means that I boss the press man around and point out any incorrect color casts (real or imagined) on the huge printed paper sheets so he (well, they, since there are two press men) can make notes of the densities of colors and such so as to properly recreate said colors on future printings of Convenient Food. We’re all about consistency. And I don’t boss too much. Above you can see the area right behind the offset press where we do the press checks. The press guy is back there all day, constantly pulling sheets of paper and testing them to make sure the ink levels are staying consistent. The offset press uses four ink colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are laid on at different densities to create the full color photographs in my cookbooks! Pretty amazing.
PS – Did y’all know that women can generally see color better than men? True story. The press guy said that if he’s having trouble nailing down the color on a particular project, he’ll call one of the lady designers out to help him look things over and balance the colors better.
Don’t miss out on pre-order!
By the way, I finally have a book preview to show y’all if you’re interested in seeing what you’ll be getting in Convenient Food. 😉 You can see the indices and how the book is laid out. Don’t worry – there are lots of pages missing, including some of the front matter and most of the recipes, so don’t be too alarmed if it seems…incomplete. Just buy the book and you’ll get to see ALL of it very shortly!

(I apologize for the strange sepia color cast on the preview file. I’m not sure why it’s doing that….)…
Clean out the Fridge Soup (How To)

I keep saying that I’m getting back into regular blogging, but I keep disappearing again. The truth is that 1) I’ve been busy with wrapping up the cookbook project + having more of a life, 2) all the things I could write about look overwhelming for their sheer volume and diversity so I never actually start on any of them, and 3) I’ve been experiencing a sort of “midlife crisis” after completing a project that has taken all of my time and energy for months on end. The same thing happened after I finished Necessary Food, so I was expecting it, but I’m also trying to work my way out of this lack-of-focus-funk and thought that planning and actually writing some blog posts might help. And that, my friends, is why I’m writing a blog post about the soup I made last night. I didn’t write the recipe down because flexibility is key, but maybe I can inspire you to make some Clean out the Fridge Soup too. 😉
If you prefer to make soup by following a recipe, check out my SOUP recipe index. In this post I used a process similar to the one I used in this Loaded Baked “Potato” Soup.
I definitely prefer to cook without recipes most of the time. If I use recipes, they’re merely guides, not absolutes. Having to write down a recipe for the blog or a cookbook is rather a burden, so now that I’m done testing recipes for Convenient Food, I’ve been relishing the freedom of just throwing things together for supper! (Anyone agree?) I thought I’d take some pictures of last night’s supper experiment and try to inspire y’all to cook something without a recipe yourself. Soup season is coming up (if not here already for some of you who live farther north than I do), and what better vehicle for frugality and freedom than soup?…

Top Sellers
- COLLAGEN (16 oz.):
$18.29$16.29 ($2 off) - COLLAGEN (3 lb.):
$51.29$46.29 ($5 off) - Collagen is a terrific way to add more protein to your diet! Stir it into oatmeal, add it to smoothies and hot drinks, or even use it in baking for adding extra structure and protein to baked goods! I prefer collagen over whey protein powder in some instances because it has very little flavor.
- BAKING BLEND (16 oz.):
$8.99$6.99 ($2 off) - BAKING BLEND (3 lb.):
$25.99$19.99 ($6 off) - Alternative baked goods taste the best when a blend of alternative flours is used, but who feels like getting 5 flours out of the pantry every time you want to make something? Not I! THM Baking Blend is a handy solution and produces baked goods with a great texture and high protein content.

$10.99$8.99 ($2 off) - GENTLE SWEET (3 lb.):
$28.99$23.99 ($5 off) - GENTLE SWEET XYLITOL-FREE (16 oz.):

$27.99$22.99 ($5 off) - Gentle Sweet is the perfect sweetener for the people who are just coming off of sugar or have sensitive taste buds! Since it’s less concentrated then Super Sweet and Pure Stevia Extract Powder, it has less of a stevia taste. Great for adding more sweetener bulk to baked goods!
- STEVIA (1 oz.):
$10.99$9.99 ($1 off) - STEVIA (4 oz.):
$37.99$33.99 ($4 off) - Pure Stevia Extract Powder is the most economical sweetener since it’s so concentrated, and I use it where I can. Works great for sweetening a mug of tea, shakes and smoothies, puddings, and certain baked goods!
