Shaved Rainbow Carrot & Sweet Potato Salad with Cilantro, Cumin Vinaigrette & Queso Fresco
So, in my Backyard Produce Mystery Box delivery I received rainbow carrots. They made me ridiculously happy. And instead of just cooking them to smithereens or slicing them up in a salad, I wanted to make them the stars of the show. Obviously, you can use regular carrots for this salad. Aren’t they beautiful? I started [...]

Mexican Corn Cakes – 4¢ Per Cake
I could eat Latin food every day and not get sick of it. And I did a bad thing tonight. I experimented. And I succeeded. And now I’m afraid these little golden corn nuggets of joy will become a part of my hourly diet and make me a giant corn-blob. By the way, once again [...]

Bryndzové Halušky Recipe (Slovak Potato Dumplings with Bacon and Cheese) – .91¢ Per Serving
I spent the year of 2009 in Trnava, Slovaka doing some volunteer mission work. My absolute favorite classic Slovak dish is called Bryndzové halušky (pronounced “breend-zoh-vah hah-loosh-key”). It’s simple, yet delicious. Potato dumplings with bacon and bryndza, a soft sheep cheese. A few disclaimers before I continue. I am not Slovak and would never claim that [...]

Fresh Homemade Mozzarella Cheese – $1.26 (per ball)
Recently, I stumbled on a recipe for mozzarella cheese. I mail-ordered some of the ingredients and planned to spend a relaxing few hours learning the art of mozzarella cheese making as I house-sat for a friend. What I didn’t realize, until half-way through following this recipe, was that this very reputable blog writer had failed [...]

Broccoli Soup – $.92
Ever ordered broccoli soup that doesn’t quite taste like broccoli? Like it’s been added with preservatives & frozen for a few months. Make it yourself. It’s so, so, so much better! First, I want to say that on a scale of super healthy (being 10) to super UNhealthy (being 0), I’d say this is maybe [...]

Caramelized Onion Stuffed Turkey Burger with Guacamole, Fresh Spinach & Feta – $1.86
If I had a grill, this would’ve been so much better. But it’s all good. I’ve been trying to stay away from bread, hence the bun-less burger, but feel free to make your own with the bun. Start by chopping up 1/2 medium onion or one small onion and putting it in a nonstick pan [...]

Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms & Meatballs with Onions & Bacon – $1.21
I’m not sure you can really mess up a dish with mushrooms, onions, bacon and balsamic vinegar. I ended up being so impressed with the flavor, I didn’t actually serve it with any starch at all. It’d be good with pasta if you want, or just serve with bread too. Mmmm…. Start with about 2 [...]

Simple Potato Soup – $.96
There are 100 ways to skin a cat, and there are 100 ways to make potato soup; and this is my way. If, like me, it’s the middle of summer in the South, you may be thinking soup sounds gross. Well don’t freak- you’re not bathing in it.

Chorizo, Veggies & Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers – $1.66
Ever had chorizo? It’s a spicy mexican sausage that you can get at just about any grocery store or Latin market…well, in the South you can, anyway. I recommend the pork sausage instead of the beef variety. You might be thinking, “Hey you, sausage isn’t healthy.” Yeah well… it’s not super healthy, per se, but [...]

Chicken & Feta Stuffed Portobellos with Classic Tomato Sauce & Spinach – $1.87
I think I can safely say that one of my “comfort foods” is anything with tomato sauce and chicken. I know, I’m so adventurous, right? So look, I’m using ingredients here that you may not think are that cheap. Some recipes I have are cheaper than others, and this is on the higher end of [...]

Balsamic Chicken, Feta & Veggie "Flatbread" Tortilla Pizza – $1.93
The other night I was dying for some pizza. Honestly though, I never have the energy to make dough. So I thought I’d go Euro-style and make some ghetto super thin “pizzas”. If you have a pan with holes in it like this, sweet. If not, maybe you could cook the tortillas on the oven [...]

Paneer & Chickpea Curry – $1.20
If you’ve never had paneer, a fresh, mild Indian cheese, you should definitely check it out. It’s solid enough not to melt quickly, but soft enough to give some great texture to a dish like this. Feel free to leave this out and add veggies or meat instead. Oh, by the way, the fresh cilantro [...]

Sour Cream & Queso Fresco over Black Beans – $.73
Remember that cucumber jicama slaw we made? Well you’ll need that for this quick meal. It tastes awesome on just about anything you’d put salsa on, like tacos or nachos- it’s fresh, crunchy and spicy. Warm up some black beans using whatever warming method you prefer. I just pop mine right from the can into [...]

Spring is Here Salad with Feta, Spinach, Tomato, Basil, Garlic and Orzo – $1.05
So here’s a really easy side dish. I actually put this on top of my salad one day at work and it was yum! It’s nothing fancy, I just didn’t have much food left so all of these ingredients tasted pretty super together. Start by boiling a serving of orzo or your favorite pasta. Orzo [...]

Sexy Nachos with Feta, Spinach, Caramelized Onions, Basil and Balsamic Glaze – $1.16
Share You guys. I’m serious. I don’t mean to brag but these were amazing. I put a junk load of feta on it so the health factor went down a few points, but ya’ know what? I don’t care. It was worth it. I didn’t have much food left in my fridge, but something awesome [...]

Stupid Good Avocado Soup – $.74
I think if we have food in Heaven, avocados will be there. As well as mangoes and bacon. I had a very random thought this morning: avocado soup. Avocados give amazing texture to anything you put it in, especially if you blend it till smooth, so I figured it’d be perfect for a healthy soup [...]

Experimental Black Bean Vegan Burger: Prototype 1 – $.33
Yeah, I’m not gonna’ lie- this is all one big experiment. I plan to improve the recipe by trying again and hopefully hearing some advice from you all who feel like experimenting too! I don’t mind buying veggie burgers, but they still have ingredients that I have no idea where they came from like protein [...]

Sauteed Garlic Asparagus – $.21
Tonight I debunked my own assumption that asparagus was a bit too expensive for this site. My friends, if you haven’t branched out to cook fresh asparagus, you must! My love for it has been rekindled. And please, for the love of vegetables, do NOT buy canned asparagus even if you’re desperate. What a disgrace. [...]

Crustless Veggie Quiche – $.24
Would I be correct in assuming that most of us don’t have the time first thing in the morning to make ourselves a huge breakfast? When I work full time, I barely have enough time to brush my teeth in the morning, let alone make breakfast. Last month I wrote about eating fruit for breakfast, which [...]
