I am your girl. I am cheap and easy when it comes to… we are talking about cooking, right?

Please look at my cookbook of recipes that are not mine but that I’ve made and reviewed: my cookbook. You can filter by ingredient, inexpensive (not always the same definition as cheapo me, but it’s a start), or things like less than 5 ingredients (often cheaper), etc.

If I know more about what you are after, I can give you some better ideas. Are you talking poverty poor like for reals? The Pinto Beans and Batter Bread on the Low Cost Emergency Menu (scroll down to them on that page and click the links - they ROCK!) are awesome and cost very, very, very little. I make them at my house sometimes on what used to be our Frugal Monday.

Happy Eating!!

The chicken salad is really good, kinda sweet. The beef recipes can be very spicy, but you can season to your own tastes.

Also crockpot, but on the stove on medium works too:

chicken thighs, butter chicken sauce. throw in crock pot on high for 5 hours. In the last hour, make brown rice according to package directions, using two thirds water and one-third chicken stock - add about an 1/8 a tsp of black pepper and garlic salt to water before adding rice. Cut up broccoli to small flowers and steam gently.

In serving dish, a 1/2″ layer of rice, topped with broccoli and sliced avocado. Add on chicken (which will be melt-in-your-mouth tender) and top with extra butter sauce from crockpot.

Even my 2 year old loves this - though sometimes we forgot the rice, completely.

Easily I’d say the meatloaf.
3 lbs ground beef (or ground chuck is best actually)
bunch of celery all chopped up
1 sleeve of Keebler Club Crackers all smashed into a fine powder
1 egg
delicious seasonings of your choice.

Cook that thing in loaf form for like an hour on 350 but you know how ovens vary, so adjust as necessary.

Chicken toes: (our favorite family dinner)

either buy chicken breasts (@$7) and slice them longways or buy the precut, uncooked ones. Salt and pepper them and then skewer them longways. Brush with olive oil. Grill them on whatever grill you have; I did it on a Foreman for years. Meanwhile, make some mashed potatoes (@$5 for a 5 lb bag, or $2 for a box of instant) and boil corn on the cob (@$3 for 3 ears.) Cook some pop-up biscuits ($3) and when the skewers are grilled, drown them in bbq sauce ($2).

$17 dinner. I arrange the skewers around the potatoes so they’re standing up like a teepee, which the kids think looks lethal and therefore awesome.

Did the comments section eat my comment? Say it ain’t so. I’ll check back and re-do it if that’s what happened because food is serious stuff.

My comment is in moderation hell, probably because I included links, I’m guessing. Can you pull it out? If not, I’ll just email you.
