Turn your stash into spicy one-pot kimchi and squash mac and cheese , the ultimate comfort food; pantry-staple pasta; or turmeric-infused red lentils and spinach.

The cheap and delicious meal to begin our collection of cheap dinner ideas is comprised of mainly pasta and garlic. Toasted nutritional yeast, full of umami, also pushes this easy recipe into a deeply savory, deeply tasty zone.

The relatively long ingredient list—kidney beans, bell peppers, celery , parsley, rice—might not read as a budget meal, but the most expensive item is the andouille sausage. Plus, you can feed six people with this one dish.

These veggie enchiladas feature a charred tomatillo salsa verde, Cotija cheese, and, yes, creamy pinto beans. That same filling would work well in burritos, too.

If there happen to be leftovers, that meat and mozzarella and marinara make for a great sandwich the next day.

Store-bought puff pastry and a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken are two very helpful shortcuts when it comes to this one-pot meal. We also developed a soup version of chicken pot pie , just for fun.

Giving chunky zucchini pieces a hard sear develops lots of texture and color while minimizing sogginess. The dilly sour cream provides a garlicky counterpart.

When you need a weeknight-friendly recipe that doubles as a cheap dinner idea, stir-fry is the answer. Is there ever a bad time for a quesadilla? This one is easy, cheesy, and a smart way to finish up that jar of kimchi hanging out in the fridge.

Although we and most of our readers love the mixture of nutritional yeast , garlic powder, and onion powder on these vegan nuggets, one commenter was less impressed. If you too crave something bolder, try the method with taco seasoning instead. The humble onion is given center stage in this cheap meal.

Seared, then gently roasted with paprika and tomato paste, these onions prove they have star quality. Transform a can of pumpkin purée into a near-instant pasta sauce—no slow cookers here— that delivers major fall feels.

Bonus: Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two to three days. With a generous layer of caramelized onions and plenty of sharp Gruyère cheese, this tart packs the depth of French onion soup into every bite. The tofu in this cheap recipe absorbs all of the flavors in the sauce—and there are a lot of them: shallots, ginger, garlic, cumin, red chile, turmeric, coconut cream , and peanut butter.

It all becomes a sauce you have to make and see to believe. Crunchy fried onions transform a simple cabbage salad into a sensorial delight: hot and cold, crisp and soft, sweet and spicy. Make sure to assemble it just before eating in order to capture those different textures.

When the coffers are dry and so is the bread on the counter, this is the one. This cheap meal requires just a few other ingredients, most of which are already in your kitchen.

A garlicky mixture of ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, and maple syrup cooks down until almost sticky in this riff on a Chinese-American classic sesame chicken. An untraditional but logical addition to the sauce: tahini. You might be surprised by just how flavorful a combination of chicken stock, celery, and chickpeas can be.

Garlic, red chiles, lemon, and fresh cilantro contribute to making it so—while still keeping it feeling clean. If you can swing it, add a big pinch of asafetida for an extra savory note. Quick-cooking, budget-friendly, and pretty hard to screw up that dark meat is automatically juicier , chicken thighs are our default weeknight dinner—and this is our simplest way to prepare them.

These battered, oven-baked florets come out crackly before getting bathed in a sticky-sweet gochujang glaze. It means you have croutons. Ground turkey is a lean protein that, when simmered with white beans, seasonings, and chipotle chiles in adobo and topped with Greek yogurt, delivers major body and richness.

The key to stress-free stir-frying is in the prep work. Be sure to chop, slice, and grate everything before even thinking about turning on the stove. Once you do, it comes together in 15 minutes. A little bit of flour and butter, garlic, lemon juice, and capers , and you've got a super savory supper.

Say that three times fast. This cheap recipe leaves out the smoked pork or turkey, which is typical in the American South, and goes heavy on garlic for flavor.

This all-star easy dinner recipe will work long after corn has gone out of season. In the winter, just sub in shaved cauliflower or torn kale. This soup packs in all the ingredients that would make your doctor happy—lentils, sweet potatoes, leafy greens—but the fiery Thai green curry paste keeps things interesting.

This Haitian meal consists of sos pwa nwa, black bean sauce enriched with coconut milk, served alongside mayi moulen, a creamy cornmeal porridge flavored with garlic and herbs. Nothing is cozier. This family-friendly weeknight dinner takes a cue from Japanese grilled chicken meatballs called tsukune as well as the glossy, sweet-and-sour sauce that comes with them.

A classic Italian pesto , this is not. Spinach, cilantro, and miso come together for this uber-green sauce, which dresses, of course, springy ramen noodles. In this brothy beans recipe, caramelizing fennel, shallots, and lemon builds a base layer that is sweet, tangy, and bright. Tinned sardines add protein and a briny flavor.

A beloved Hong Kong dish with approximately one billion variations, this soup—which relies heavily on fridge and pantry staples—is meant to be a little sweet and a touch sharp. Its silky texture comes from blended potatoes and broccoli stalks rather than heavy cream.

Well, this is the salad version, with noodles in addition to pink radishes , orange carrots, purple cabbage, and green cucumbers. One head of cabbage goes a long way. This recipe, where wedges are bathed in turmeric-accented coconut milk until meltingly tender and sweet, uses just half of one to feed four.

The soul of this recipe comes from the ginger and tamari marinade that gives crispy tofu a sweet and savory glaze. We like to turn leftover tofu into tacos, for some Japanese-Mexican fusion. Toss roasted sweet potato wedges in a sweet and nutty tahini dressing for this quick vegetarian weeknight dinner.

And no, it will not break the bank. This budget meal is about turning leftover side dishes into something totally new. Nearly any roasted vegetable or cooked grain could be worked into a frittata using this method. This looks like something that took hours in a crockpot to make, but in reality, the black-eyed peas soak up the flavors of an onion- and tomato-based gravy in under 30 minutes.

Tuna salad deserves to be considered a dinner dish, not just a sandwich filling. Let the pan-fried chickpeas and red endive in this recipe convince you.

Sure, you can absolutely roast, sauté or steam them along with the florets when you make broccoli, but this gives you a whole additional meal, plus it saves you the hassle of having to peel the tough exterior off of the stalks. Then everything just goes into a pot with a little bit of neutral oil, and best of all, you can be seriously sloppy with your chopping because everything is just getting whizzed up in the blender anyway.

Give it a good stir, bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and let simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes to an hour, until the broccoli is squishably soft. Then either use an immersian blender or dump the whole thing into a regular blender or food processor.

Season with sriracha and salt, then add the stems of one bunch of cilantro. Think of it as kind of a home for wayward produce. Tags: broccoli , cashews , easy , lowcarb , soup , vegan. I remember the feeling vividly from when I was a kid, back when summer meant popsicles, sleepaway camp, and reading Judy Blume by the town pool and later on, sprinkles-covered cones at TCBY , month-long babysitting gigs, and first kisses at beach bonfire parties.

This clever shawarma-cooking technique, which I first learned about from the delightful Nadiya of GBBO fame feels to me like it nicely straddles both real life and the timeless magic of summer. Shawarma, a rotisserie meat dish which originated in the Ottoman Empire and is popular across the Middle East, is perfect warm-weather food—deliciously grilled, spice-laden and loaded with flavor, and, when served wrapped in a pita, extremely portable, making it ideal for outdoor eating.

Traditionally, shawarma is cooked on a rotating spit, resulting in meat which is tender and juicy on the inside and nicely crisped on the outside, but you can get a pretty darn similar result by packing marinated chicken breasts or thighs into an 8-cup loaf pan.

You roast in the oven for minutes, then finish off with a quick trip under the broiler for extra texture and browning. The meat rests in the pan for 10 minutes after roasting this is crucial to retain those juices , then turn it out onto a cutting board and slice away.

I served it on homemade flatbread just pizza dough I rolled into rounds and cooked in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat until they puffed , with some garlicky tahina, cilantro, red onion and pickled cabbage.

I make a huge batch of almost every week and eat it with every meal. Tags: chicken , middleeastern , shawarma , summer , technique. Certainly this is true of my marriage. It took me 29 years and eleven months to find Evan, plus another 4 to marry him, and, as anyone who dated me between and can attest, I was not remotely ready for that kind of commitment one millisecond earlier.

So, too when it comes to children. Most of my recipes come together quickly. I like to think of myself as someone who writes recipes for real life, rather than the equally valid category of lengthier cooking projects which need to be designated to a day without other responsibilities to fulfill.

The dough itself is incredibly versatile. You can shape it into a ball, let it rise, then bake it in a preheated Dutch oven for a rustic orb of crusty, delicious peasant bread.

The dough itself could not be easier. You mix flour I prefer higher protein bread flour for extra chew, but AP will also work , yeast, salt, and room temperature water in a large bowl.

In terms of kneading, there is none. If you want to make two or more different kinds of pizza, carefully split the dough and place each portion in a smaller prepared pan, or make it all in one big pan, as I did. Just let it rest in a draft-free place, oiled and covered for 20 minutes, then stretch it gently.

Cover the dough again,and let it rest for about 20 minutes. It should be a little puffy. Then top your pizza however you like. I usually make a few different flavors in one big sheet pan.

Bake for minutes at degrees F as close to the bottom of the oven as possible. This will help ensure a crispy undercarriage. Then just slice it up and put it on the table.

I threw together a garlicky yogurt ranch salad with Persian cucumbers and the ripest, sweetest sungold tomatoes the supposed tomato hater ate at least 12 of them. Tags: baking , dinner , easy , focaccia , italian , no-knead , pizza , summer. May I have another serving of kale, dearest Mother?

I love its earthy depth of flavor! My daughter wouldn't be like the other kids I'd seen, slurping down blue Go-gurts and demanding the crusts of their Kraft singles grilled cheese be cut off.

She would have a refined palate and a natural love of roughage! Surely my years of experience as a food professional would pay off in dividends when my perfect little sweetheart started solids.

Your kids must eat so well! people say when they find out what I do for a living. How lucky are they to have a mom who can cook! They could if they wanted to , I joke. That option is available to them, I say, whilst stirring butter into yet another bowl of plain macaroni. Sure, I'll serve it with carrot sticks and apple slices with peanut butter, and maybe a few bites of each will be taken, but we all know what the real star of the plate is.

At this point, five-plus years into my child-feeding journey, I've accepted that things don't always go the way I want them to, and that taste expansion and flavor appreciation is a process, and that a healthy relationship with food and eating is more important than making sure they eat the recommended number of fruit and vegetable servings for their age group.

That, just because I cut produce into cute shapes and serve them with fun dips on brightly colored plates, they aren't guaranteed to be eaten, and that's okay because feeding kids is about more than fulfilling some quota of nutrients at every meal.

It's about nourishing more than just their bellies. We're trying to foster a good relationship to food and eating, here. It's slow-going, and progress ebbs and flows, but does come. Sometimes my kids only eat white foods, but sometimes--sometimes-- they ask to try a bite of the salad on my plate.

They don't usually like it, but still, baby steps, as it were. The one constant I know for sure is that making a big deal about what they are or aren't eating does more harm than good, so I've learned to keep my mouth shut and only high-five my husband stealthily under the table when one of them makes a comment about how much they love, "these yummy brown things," which I know for a fact are lentils.

These muffins, which feature fiber-packed oats and optional seeds, but also chocolate and brown sugar, the lattermost of which gives them a crisp, lightly caramelized exterior reminiscent of a chocolate chip-oatmeal cookie, are a staple in our house these days, and they nicely straddle the line of nutritious and exciting to a kid palate.

They're equally good tucked into lunchboxes as they are with coffee for breakfast or an afternoon snack. I like to make these in small batches so we can eat them within a couple of days of baking, hence the 12 mini-muffin yield of this recipe, but they also freeze very well an can be re-warmed in the microwave or toaster oven, so feel free to double or even triple the recipe.

The batter comes together quickly, and, like most kids in their first year of life, takes two short naps--one for 10 minutes, to let the oats and milk get to know each other, and a second minute one, just before baking.

This helps ensure the batter will rise nicely. I like using mini muffin tins for this recipe, since I'm serving them to mini-eaters, and also because the increase in surface area results in very cookie-like muffins with a contrasting tender center, but feel free to bake them into 6 full-size muffins.

You can, of course, use muffin liners, but I prefer to use cooking spray or butter, because it helps crisp the sides nicely which we don't normally want for a muffin, but which, for these, works. T he muffin cups go into a super hot oven, which helps their tops puff up immediately, then the temp gets cranked back down to to finish cooking.

When they come out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for just a minute or two. If you used butter or cooking spray in place of the muffin liners, they might need a little help from the sharp edge of a butter knife to loosen them. You can also omit the chocolate altogether and switch up the flavor profile with other spices, like cardamom, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice.

If you're nursing or want to make these for someone who is, add a couple of tablespoons of brewer's yeast powder and call them lactation muffins. Or don't change a thing, and make them because they're delicious, which is, in my opinion, as good a reason as any.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Back when it still felt like a cool clubhouse, where we seemingly conducted all business. Logic reminds me that this was just how it was back then, just the way we all used to communicate online, gleefully dancing along the line of public and private, making plans in front of an audience, sharing every single photo taken on a night out, no matter how badly lit, awkwardly posed, or, in some cases, obviously drunk its subjects appeared.

The internet was younger, but I was too. Why then, is it so hard for my current self to give my younger, greener self a break for having been flawed? One of the lessons parenting keeps teaching me is that, when we see traits we dislike in ourselves embodied by our children, it forces us to finally question why we were so committed to hating them in ourselves for so long.

I was a deeply sensitive, emotionally intense little kid, and whenever I felt tears coming on—which was often—I knew there would be no stopping them. They overtook me, bigger and badder than any fight I had against them, and the shame I felt from the way other kids backed away from me, when I detected in the faces of adults that they felt totally out of their depth as I sobbed over a teasing comment or a B- still rattles around inside of me.

I hug them, do my best to speak soothingly, and encourage them to talk about it. Or my green, chaotic, Facebook-posting twenty-something self? Or my taking-adulthood-by-the-balls-with-mixed-success thirty-something self?

These steamed eggs took me a little while to get right. I first fell in love with Chinese steamed eggs on TikTok, where they were trending about a year ago. The first time I made it, I rushed, skipping the crucial step of straining the egg mixture.

These gnocchi rely on instant potatoes to cut down the time and cost. Curly kale does double duty in this dish, both mixed in with the noodles and served over the top as crispy chips. The simple salad becomes much less basic when you add tuna, blanched green beans, and basil dressing.

Sure, pasta with a side salad makes for a well balanced dinner, but how about pasta in a salad? Saucy butter beans swimming in caramelized red onions and piquillo peppers. Consider making a big batch to have around for easy lunches. The baked macaroni and cheese you know and love gets a spicy upgrade with broccoli rabe and a whole tablespoon of crushed red pepper.

Like a cozy blanket in meal form, these chicken thighs get tucked into a Caribbean-inspired sauce made with coconut milk simmered with onions, garlic, and chiles.

Like many great budget meals, this makes a terrific lunch or dinner. Looking for more budget-friendly recipes and cooking tips? Check out The Smart Cook , our section focused on making the most of every dollar in the kitchen.

You know what should be illegal? Well, too bad. Here it is anyway. Take a good long gander. Are you thoroughly ashamed? Now, on to vacation photos of someone you barely knew in high school! Yeah, yeah, I know. Back when it still felt like a cool clubhouse, where we seemingly conducted all business.

Logic reminds me that this was just how it was back then, just the way we all used to communicate online, gleefully dancing along the line of public and private, making plans in front of an audience, sharing every single photo taken on a night out, no matter how badly lit, awkwardly posed, or, in some cases, obviously drunk its subjects appeared.

The internet was younger, but I was too. Why then, is it so hard for my current self to give my younger, greener self a break for having been flawed? One of the lessons parenting keeps teaching me is that, when we see traits we dislike in ourselves embodied by our children, it forces us to finally question why we were so committed to hating them in ourselves for so long.

I was a deeply sensitive, emotionally intense little kid, and whenever I felt tears coming on—which was often—I knew there would be no stopping them. They overtook me, bigger and badder than any fight I had against them, and the shame I felt from the way other kids backed away from me, when I detected in the faces of adults that they felt totally out of their depth as I sobbed over a teasing comment or a B- still rattles around inside of me.

I hug them, do my best to speak soothingly, and encourage them to talk about it. Or my green, chaotic, Facebook-posting twenty-something self? Or my taking-adulthood-by-the-balls-with-mixed-success thirty-something self?

These steamed eggs took me a little while to get right. I first fell in love with Chinese steamed eggs on TikTok, where they were trending about a year ago.

The first time I made it, I rushed, skipping the crucial step of straining the egg mixture. The second time, I cranked the heat up too high as I hurried to get dinner on the table, and the whole thing puffed up then sank down. It still tasted good, but I lost the silky, custardy texture the dish is supposed to have.

I strain the mixture into a heat-proof glass dish, like a Pyrex storage container handy in case there are ever leftovers, which, admittedly, is rare. Then I steam it in a large pot with a few inches of water and a metal steaming rack you could approximate the rack with a few pieces of rolled foil—the idea is just to keep the eggs off the bottom of the pot as they cook.

I make a sauce in the meantime. This is totally optional—you could just do a drizzle of soy—but I love to mix up soy sauce, chili crisp, a few drops of maple or honey, and Chinese black vinegar.

I've used rice vinegar before, which also works, but if you can find Chinese black vinegar chinkiang , snap it up. It's delicious. Once the eggs are perfectly steamed—set but still jiggly—I cover the top generously with the sauce,.

All I feel is grateful. Fill a large pot with a fitted lid with inches of water and place a steaming rack or a few pieces of rolled up foil on the bottom. Cover and bring to a boil. Strain the mixture into a medium-sized heatproof container that will fit in the bottom of your pot, like a Pyrex.

Skim off as many of the tiny bubbles on the surface with a spoon or small fine mesh sieve. Cover the top of the container tightly with foil and puncture a few times with a knife to vent.

Lower the heat on the pot to medium-low, then carefully lower the foil-covered dish into the pot, setting it atop the steaming rack. Cover the pot with the lid, then allow to cook for minutes, until the eggs are set but still jiggly.

Start checking for doneness around 10 minutes. Tags: chinese , eggs , protein , steamedeggs , tiktok. Directions Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed soup pot.

Add the chopped onion and let cook until translucent. Add the ginger, garlic, and curry powder, and let cook for minutes, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant. Turn down the heat if it starts to smoke or scorch.

Add the cashews and water or broth, and cover. Let simmer on medium-low for 45 minutes-1 hour, until the broccoli is very soft. Let the machine run for a little longer than seems necessary. You want the cashews to fully break down.

Taste, then add sriracha and salt as needed, as well as sriracha stems. Puree again, just until the cilantro breaks down. The soup should have tiny green flecks.

Serve hot, garnished with cilantro leaves if desired. Directions In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and spices with the chicken.

Mix well to coat, then transfer to a zip-top bag or airtight container and marinate for at least 3 hours, up to Preheat the oven to degrees F and position a rack in the middle of the oven. Tightly pack the marinated chicken and its juice into an 8-cup loaf pan, preferably one made of metal.

If the chicken goes all the way to the top of your loaf pan, place the pan inside a larger pan to catch any excess juices during cooking. Bake for minutes, until the chicken is cooked through but juicey it should register degrees F on a meat thermometer. Keeping the pan on the middle rack, turn on the broiler and broil the chicken for minutes, until nicely browned keep an eye on it.

Once the chicken has finished cooking, let rest for 10 minutes. Carefully pour the juices into a bowl. Turn the loaf pan over onto a wooden cutting board, preferably one with a moat to catch juices.

Use a sharp knife to slice the chicken thinly across the grain. Pour as much of reserved juices onto the sliced shawarma as you would like.

Serve the sliced chicken with soft pita or other flatbread or rice, with pickles and tahini sauce , labne or garlic-yogurt sauce. The fluffiest, most ethereal pita, too. Then oil a rimmed baking sheet generously. Ingredients 3 cups grams all-purpose or bread flour pantry 1.

Directions Combine the flour, yeast, salt, and water in a bowl. Mix well until a dough forms. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and let sit in a draft-free place I like the turned-off microwave for 4 hours.

Alternately, refrigerate for up to 12 hours. After four house, the risen dough should be bubbly and puffy. Remove the covering and carefully deflate the dough with two forks—one in each hand—gently pulling the dough from the edge of the bowl toward the center with the forks, then repeating for 3 quarter turns until the dough folds into itself to form a ball.

Oil a sheet pan generously with the olive oil tablespoons , then transferthe dough to the center of the pan. Cover the dough again and let it rest for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, gently stretch the dough, oiling your fingers and the dough as necessary to avoid sticking. As soon as the dough starts to resist being stretched, cover again and let rest for another minutes and try again.

Repeat until the dough easily fills the pan. Gently dimple the top of the dough with your fingertips. Let the dough rest uncovered for 20 minutes before topping. It should be puffy and bubbly.

While it rests, arrange a rack as close to the bottom of the oven as possible, and preheat to degrees F. Spoon the sauce over the top of the dough no need to leave a border for crust , then top evenly with the cheese and any other toppings you like.

Bake for minutes or longer, depending how liberally you topped it. Once the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before gently removing from the pan and transfering to a cutting board.

Cut into squares at serve hot or at room temperature. Honestly though, it's okay. It really is. Then I like to get them onto a cooling rack pretty quickly.
