This money diet tip should be super obvious - cook yer own darn food! You can cook fabulous meals at home for a fraction of the price you would pay going out, and have fun too! Paul and I eat out a handful of times a year - typically on our anniversary, and maybe one or two other times. We really love cooking together, and lately we've been on a kick of trying all kinds of new recipes and building a bigger repertoire. Last weekend on Sunday we made a delish and healthy lentil soup with kale and tomatoes, and as an accoutrement we made these awesome baked polenta fries, and whipped up a chipotle lime sauce for dipping them in. OMFG were they ever good. One of our neighbourhood watering holes has polenta fries, but these home made ones were thinner and crisper and healthier being that they were baked and not deep fried. And they were so easy! I made the whole batch of polenta but we ended up making only about half of it into fries, and freezing the rest for future polenta fries emergencies. I'm sure the recipe could be easily veganized, but I did use the milk and Parmesan as specified. Try them out! Easy! Tasty! Gluten free! And polenta is cheap cheap cheap!

YUM.
I will try to veganize this. The cheese probably does some binding, but polenta is pretty bindy on its own. A little bit of arrowroot and a bit of extra salt ought to do it.
It was totally binded before the cheese went in - I think the cheese was mainly for flavour. I bet you could substitute nooch for the parm, and use soy milk instead of regular milk.
Mmmmmm, hopefully they'll keep Tim happy even if the Flames' performance can't. I bet they'll go good with an ice cold o'douls (lame!).
