This is such an easy and affordable dish for a fun Saint Patrick’s day meal, or any night of the week. And all of the ingredients are things you typically have on hand or are easily found at the grocery store. You can keep this gluten free by using gluten free Worcestershire sauce and broth. […]
LEMON RISOTTO – RICH, CREAMY & BURSTING WITH FLAVOR ($10 or Less Meal)
I love making and eating risotto, which is a creamy Italian dish consisting of cooked rice, broth, and other ingredients such as vegetables, herbs, or meat. Typically I make mushroom risotto which is so hearty and warming, it’s one of my go-to cold weather one-pot meals. We recently cooked a special dinner of lobster […]
Chile-and-Citrus-Rubbed Chicken with Potatoes – Feeds 4 for $10
I have a subscription to bon appetit magazine which is one of my very favorite places to find new recipes. A lot of the recipes are more complex and expensive than what I typically share as “budget-friendly” or quick and easy meals but this month I found one that just wowed us. And even better, I was […]
Pork Chops With Root Beer Glaze, Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes & Caramelized Onions – Serves 4 for $10.81
This is what I consider a “fancy” dinner, just because there’s more steps than my normal everyday dinners but the entire meal is really simple. The entire meal cost me approximately $10.81 with some great sales. You would definitely pay more than $14 just for one person for this dinner!

Pumpkin Tortilla Soup – Vegan, Gluten-Free & Serves 6 for Less Than $10 (Oh, And It’s Delicious!)
I first tried this recipe when we had our friends JL and Dave over for dinner. JL’s vegan and her husband’s vegetarian so I wanted to make something they’d both enjoy, be able to eat, and tasted good enough that my husband and I wouldn’t miss our meat. There were a few things I knew about a […]
Spicy Coconut Shrimp with Mango-Basil Salsa & Lime Jasmine Rice – $10 Or Less Meal
Just the name of this meal makes me think of beaches, warm winds blowing, and tropical trees swaying. I have had this recipe marked for over a year to try and thankfully, I finally got around to trying it!
Spaghetti in Red Wine – &10 or Less Meal
I love red wine and I could eat pasta every single day so when I saw this recipe for spaghetti cooked in red wine, it was a no-brainer that I had to try it. I especially enjoy when I can find a recipe that looks a bit daunting or expensive and I can figure out a […]
Oven Barbecued Chicken Legs & Rice A Roni Salad – $10 or Less Meal
Chicken legs (and thighs) are on sale right now at Albertsons for 99 cents a pound, which makes for an inexpensive meal. We’re going to doctor them up with a spicy but sweet sauce that’s so good! When I was young, my mom made Rice A Roni salad for summer meals and since Rice A Roni […]
Mango and Avocado Salad with Tuna Cakes
Mangoes are on sale right now for $1.00 each and because I’m still in a tropical state of mind, having just got back from Hawaii, I’m taking advantage of this sale; regardless of the snow and below zero (with the wind chill factor) temperature outside! We ate a lot of crab cakes on the island […]
Fish Chowder
Here’s a hearty chowder that tastes great no matter what the weather’s like outside. Because of what’s on sale right now I use canned corn instead of fresh and tilapia as my fish. You can use whatever white fish you like. If you want to spend a bit more, you could add some shrimp to […]
Fish Tacos With Lime Aioli, Black Beans & Rice, And A Side Of Mango
My husband and I just got back from Hawaii and while we were there, I think I ate fish tacos at least 5 times at different restaurants. And while they were good, my husband said my fish tacos were better in most cases (and they are a heck of a lot cheaper!) I made this […]
Braised Chicken With Capers and Parsley… With Egg Noodles & Roasted Carrots – $10 or Less Meal
This is another fabulous recipe I found from Bon Appetit (September 2012 issue). I was able to get it in under $10…who would have thought?
