Episodes » Episode 9: Bar-B-Que Turkey PizzaHappy Thanksgiving, E. Biters! I'm going to keep this blog short and sweet because it's late Thursday night, I'm uber stuffed with stuffing, mac and cheese and oh-yeah-turkey, and ughhhhh... I can hardly breathe let alone type. So you're not going to get much out of me on this one. That said, this episode of Economy Bites is fabulous and speaks for itself; it has everything you love: great food, bad dancing, cilantro, and bloopers, so you don't really need me to hold your hand. Do you know how lucky you are, holiday people? You're so lucky. So, SO lucky!

Episodes » Episode 6: Sam's Pork Loin with Mustard SauceHello, Economy Bites fans! I don't know about you all, but I'm thrilled that this week is coming to an end. This first week of November has just about done me in, so, now I'm trying to relax. I'm lying on the couch, dreaming of the weekend and watching Julie & Julia while I blog for you, lovely fans, I'm doing it all FOR YOU. Bringing you another episode of Economy Bites, and it's bringing ME back into my happy place. How simply marvelous!
Folks, this episode is extremely special, and not in the after school special kind of way. No roofie horror stories, no prescription drug-melt downs, just PORK...and our very first guest co-host: our friend Sam Vanderpol!
