CheapAss Food http://www.cheapassfood.com This site is for anyone who loves food and doesn’t give a shit about being proper. CheapAssFood.com friends are not your typical four star food tasters, our main goal is to support mom & pop shops. Your neighborhood bagel shop, noodle house, burger joint and street vendors...etc, let people know that good food doesn’t have to be Zagat rated. en-US Kale & chickpea stew with paprika, cumin & lime Warm a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, red pepper and basil and cook till the shallots and garlic start to brown. Add the sweet potatoes and cook till they start to brown and soften. Add the beer. Cook till it’s thick and syrupy. Add the chickpeas, paprika, cumin, raisins and about 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer till the sweet potato is nice and soft. You might need to add a cup or two more water as you go along, to keep it a consistency that you like. Chop the kale into small pieces and add to the stew. Cook until everything is mixed and hot through. Add the butter and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. http://www.cheapassfood.com/recipes/show/156 Vegetarian Haggis Combine everything but the chard leaves in a large bowl and stir to mix well. Leave out about 1 T worth of butter pieces. In a large pot of salted water, boil the chard leaves for a couple of minutes, until they’re wilted, but still bright. Drain them, and leave to cool for a moment. They don’t need to be completely dry. Butter a medium-sized bowl or dish. Line the bowl with the chard leaves – starting in the center and moving around like the petals of a flower. Make sure the leaves overlap one another. Their tips should hang over the outside of the bowl. Press the filling into the leave-lined bowl, and then fold the tips of the chard leaves over. Overlap them again, until you have a smooth, coherent surface of chard leaves. Dot the surface with the remaining tablespoonful of butter. Bake at 400 for 15 to 20 minutes, till it’s hot through. http://www.cheapassfood.com/recipes/show/155 Gimme 2 Gimme 2 has the best quality fast food in Long Island with the cheapest prices.

During the summer there are tourists for hundreds of miles of trails. It is possible to climb the mountains and lift the great views stretching all around. In winter some of these routes turns into a ski itinerary, where the lifts are open and can aside themselves to pale madness. The Tatras are the thorough place to impede whether we like hiking or walking in the valleys, and winter ski and snowboard wear. http://www.cheapassfood.com/eats/show/510 Fourth of July Specials @ Lansky's Old World Deli 70-71St Columbus Ave Celebrate 4th of July Weekend @ Lansky's ...you won't believe what we have in store!

And to boot, they are nice and light. It's so hard especially around Union Square to avoid the Taco Bell and various other thriving cheap fast foods. This little gem located on 2W. 14th street not only offers healthy lunches and great prices they are incredibly fast and have friendly service. On any given day you will see the owner Shai working the pitas and interacting with customers. Pita Joe as well has started advertising there summer promotions which at an unbelievable price of $4.95 you can receive a falafel sandwich. The catch is you have to find the pretty lady handing the promotional cards out. Either way stop in to get great Middle Eastern food at a great price and all meals are made from scratch! http://www.cheapassfood.com/eats/show/503 Home made ice cream in a 90 yar old shop This place should be a historical landmark but let's get to the ice-cream.
