Eating on a Budget

Simple comfort food like Grandma used to make.

These Asian-inspired and filling noodles combine common ingredients to create a very uncommon, affordable main dish.

Serve this simple, verdant sauce at room temperature over pasta or spread on toasted bread for a quick and easy appetizer.

Brimming with summer produce, this robust pasta dish would be fitting for a fancy Italian restaurant menu but costs a fraction of the price to make at home.

Lemon and mint help create a fresh, flavorful version of an old standby.

This "pickled" slaw is great for picnics and lactose-free diets since it doesn't contain mayo or sour cream.

A far cry from the bland, mayo-based slaw we're all used to, this vibrant and crunchy salad packs an unforgettably warm kick.

These cheesy, Southwestern-style peppers make a great side dish to burritos and tacos, or serve on thier own as an unexpected appetizer. Pass cold sour cream and additional cilantro seperately to garnish.

Almost like having three favorite Italian dishes in one easy-to-assemble casserole, this warm and seasonal crumble should be served with crusty bread to mop up the savory juices.

Light and fresh, this cool salad can be sprinkled with feta and served as a lunch salad or paired as a side dish for souvlaki, grilled meats, or hummus wraps.
