Tonight's mission: Recreating shepherd's pie with...
So I have a serious craving for this:
But I have a serious deficit of this:
Other obstacles:
—It’s Sunday and I live in the Bible belt. Therefore, all the cheap grocery stores are closed today. Or they are too far away and I’ve got about six miles of gas in my vehicle. What’s the deal, Aldi? Poor people need food, too!

So A Girl's Gotta Have a Team, Right?
Just like any scientist, I have a team of companions who will be helping me out on this journey. They will be my shopping companions, sous chefs, and taste testers. Here’s the line-up:
H. Lane Sowinski- Official Photographer/Food tasting Extraordinaire
Meet Lane. As evidenced by the photograph above, Lane knows his way around a fast food joint. While he has conquered many cheeseburgers,...

And I mean ACTUALLY cook. Here are some common “food groups” consumed by college students, the preparation of which should not be considered cooking:
Food Group #1: 1. Ok, I’m not going to lie, I have enjoyed many a bowl of Maruchan ramen noodles. Chicken flavored ramen noodles, paired with the second item on this list, have been the fuel and driving force behind many last minute...
