Being broke and eating healthy doesn’t always go together. Good news is, it’s not as hard as it seems. You just have to be smart about it.

I recently purchased a cookbook called Thug Kitchen: Eat Like You Give A F*ck. It completely breaks down how to do the most basic cooking techniques with great, cheap, HEALTHY recipes. Including vegetarian and vegan, and awesome drinks. Plus it has the funniest commentary, preferably not for younger readers.

Last night I made one of the recipes I saw in the book, Roasted Beer and Lime Cauliflower Tacos. And it KICKED ASS. Cauliflower has all types of health benefits; it’s been shown to kill cancer stem cells, which slows down tumor growth, it’s great for your heart, is loaded full of vitamins and antioxidants, and aids in digestive health, and the guys at Thug Kitchen found a way to make it taste great. And at $4, it was the most expensive ingredient I had to buy, if that tells you anything. (besides beer)

The beer I used was the Illusive Traveler Shandy. Which went really great with it since it was made with grapefruit juice. It wasn’t heavy and it still tasted really fresh without an overbearing alcohol taste.
For being a complete kitchen noob, I was really proud with how this turned out and how inexpensive it was to make. Thug Kitchen is chock full of rad recipes and quick tricks, and I can’t wait to use it again. Happy cooking!
