BUDGET FRIENDLY

Do you know that eating a plant based diet can save you money?  Foods that are nutrient dense will satisfy your hunger in a way that empty calories won’t so you won’t be missing the expensive snack foods.  Bonus:  the high water content and healthy fats and oils are the best beauty treatments you can find.

At Marilu.com we’re always sharing our budget friendly ideas, beginning with Marilu.  If you caught her show yesterday you heard her talking about using conditioner in place of shaving cream, and replacing expensive moisturizers with coconut oil.

Listen to The Marilu Henner Show weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon Pacific Time and noon-3:00 p.m. Eastern.  You can call in to be a part of the conversation:

Marilu is appearing, once again, at the renowned Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope Pennsylvania.  This theatre has a rich history and the town is well loved for it’s culture and idyllic setting. This production of Vanya and Sonia, Masha and Spike stars Marilu as Masha!  Written by, and also starring, Charles Durang and directed by Sheryl Kaller (Mothers and Sons) this is a greatly anticipated highlight of the summer season.

 

Members check the Lounge, and your e-mail.  We will be having a private party with Marilu again this year.  If you missed it last year this is your chance.  If you were there last year we know you want to come again and reconnect with Marilu and the rest of the Marilu.com family.

LOTION BARS

Pamper yourself this weekend….whip up a batch of lotion bars with SPF 15.  Turn on your favorite music, pour a glass of wine and spend the afternoon creating these.   They make great favors at a shower or a luncheon.  Use them in a guest bathroom or keep them all for yourself.   What’s better than a little pampering?  Pampering yourself with your own creations.

Lentil Pasta

Serves 4

I haven’t made this recipe for years, and my DH keeps asking for it. I have searched high and low for the recipe, and just found it today, while searching through my recipes for this class. Hooray!

1/4 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 bunch skinny asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 15-oz. can lentils, rinsed ( it’s really hard to find canned lentils where I live; it’s no problem to use cooked lentils, but it adds another step)

1 15-oz. can tomatoes with basil (or with Italian seasoning)

1/4 tsp. Italian Seasoning

Splash of Bragg’s (Liquid Aminos all purpose seasoning, available at health food store). If you don’t want to buy any, just leave it out.

1/8 cup white wine

1/4 cup fresh basil

1 lb. pasta

In a large saute pan, saute garlic and pepper in olive oil. Add asparagus. Saute for 2 minutes. Add lentils, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and Bragg’s. Let simmer, drain. If it gets dry, add white wine. Add basil, let simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over cooked pasta of your choice.
