This corn chowder is SO easy to make, takes 15 minutes to prep, serves eight for only $12 and tastes great! I found this slow cooker recipe in a new cookbook my friend gifted me with at Christmas. It’s called #SlowCooker Sunday by T-Mobile CEO John Legere, with all net proceeds from the book going to feedingamerica.com. […]
Creole Pork Chops With Pineapple-Mango Salsa, Baked Potatoes & Beet Greens – $10 or Less Meal
Beet greens? Yes, beet greens. One of my new favorite foods. And since you have the greens when you buy fresh beets, I consider them a free food. (I used to throw them away, not knowing you could eat them.) Along with the greens we’re cooking pork chops (on sale for $1.99 a pound at […]
Fish With Mexican Corn Salad – $10 or Less Meal & Gluten-Free
I have been making Elote, a typical Mexican street food, which is grilled corn on the cob coated with mayo and spices, for years. We love it! In this recipe I deconstruct the corn on the cob recipe and make a salad instead. It is so good with fish, steak, pork, or chicken. I used […]
Easy Pot Roast – Serves 4 for $11.00
When roasts are on sale I always load up. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pork or beef roast, we’ll use it. I love using my crock pot when cooking roasts but sometimes I just like how they taste cooked in the oven. This recipe is based on The Pioneer Woman recipe “Pot Roast” by […]
Beef Pot Roast With Veggies – Healthy and Inexpensive Meal for 4
This pot roast has a lot of flavor without a lot of fat. You know, I usually cook my roast with potatoes but I am trying to incorporate more of a variety of vegetables in our diet this year so I’m using turnips instead. If you mix some familiar with unfamiliar (veggies), your family might be more inclined to try something new.
Garlic-Rosemary Steak With Mashed Potatoes and Mustard Greens – $10 or Less Meal
I was looking through bon appetit magazine (September 2012 issue) when I found this recipe and it looked DELICIOUS….but I just assumed it would be way out of my $10 or less budget. Then I looked at it again and thought, I bet I can alter this a bit, get it in our price range and still make it taste good….which I did!
Chicken Enchilada Casserole – (Gluten-Free, Easy & $2.25 Per Person)
The first time I made this casserole it was for a get-together at my friend Ashley’s house. It was delicious and from what I hear, there was a bit of debate the next morning as to who got to enjoy the small amount of leftovers. That’s when you know it was good! If you were serving […]
Eggplant Parmesan & Angel Hair Pasta – $10 or Less Meal
I had never made eggplant Parmesan before and in fact, the last time I ate eggplant I didn’t like it. Well let me tell you, this is recipe so yummy I ate one entire (small) pan of it myself! Seriously.
Summer Clearance Sales & Roasted Summer Veggies With Pasta ($10 or Less Meal)
On today’s video Ashley and I discuss summer clearance sales. There are tons of great summer clearance sales going on right now, especially on summer apparel, which you can actually wear into the cooler months of fall and even winter. HOW TO WEAR YOUR SUMMER CLOTHES INTO FALL/WINTER – Summery dresses are my favorite items to […]
Chipotle Chicken & Corn Tostadas – Serves 4 for Less Than $10
These chicken tostadas are simply delicious! The chipotle-lime cream sauce takes them to a whole new level and they are so fresh tasting with lots of different layers of flavor that all work together for one of the best tasting chicken tostadas I’ve ever eaten. Seriously! If you don’t have a grill, you could always bake the […]
Asian Beef With Veggies Stir Fry – $10 Or Less Meal
The sauce is what really kicks this stir fry up a notch and would taste good with pork or even chicken if you wanted to substitute them in place of the beef. If you’re a meatless family, try subbing tofu. Under 30 minutes and under $10….my kind of meal. Oh, and it’s delicious!
Chipotle Chili Beef Tacos With Rice & Corn – $10 or Less Meal
I can get in a rut sometimes when trying to figure out what I want to cook for dinner. Ground beef tacos are one of my “go-to” quick meals but I make them the same way all the time. Instead of using packaged taco seasoning, I decided to try something different and used chipotle chilies in adobo sauce and they were delicious and different.
Peperoncini Pulled Beef Sandwiches with Roasted Potato & Garlic Salad – $10 or Less Meal
These sandwiches are so good and easy. There’s two ingredients involved, it takes less than 5 minutes to prep and they are perfect for summer get-togethers (and for cold winter evenings).
