Save money and serve up the foods your gang craves with the new cookbook from Taste of Home, Budget-Friendly Family Dinners! I talk about cross-over ingredients a lot as it’s one of the easiest ways to get the most out of your budget without feeling like you’re having to compromise. When looking for recipes to pair together, think about ingredients that would cost more than one pound and see if you can find another recipe that can share the cost of that ingredient (for example, frozen bags of meat, cream, cheeses, vegetables, etc). I love how it comes together in one pan and it’s really fresh whilst feeling hearty at the same time.I love how comforting a meal it is, yet every mouthful feels so fresh and vibrant, with the zingy ginger notes and the kick of lime, contrasting with creamy coconut rice. It’s never been easier to cut grocery bills while dishing out the meals everyone requests—from homey meat loaves and lasagnas to new takes on pasta and ramen. An example of this that I like to use is sharing a pot of crème fraiche- you can add a dollop to soup, loosen and drizzle over fajitas or use it as the base for a creamy pasta/risotto. Motivated by her experience of reaching for cheap and unhealthy food while studying at University, Mimi created her blog and instagram platform to provide healthy and affordable alternatives that prove that delicious doesn't have to mean expensive.
