If you are pressed for time, there is a place for Budget Meal Planning in your life. This saves you time, money and your sanity!
Maximize the best ground beef recipes
If you make up a double batch of a quick easy ground beef recipe, you have the base of a myriad other meals. You can transform the leftovers into a Shepherd's Pie Recipe, Beef Enchilada Recipe or an Easy Eggplant Recipe whereby eggplant is baked and rolled around the ground beef.
A double batch of a Swedish Meatballs Recipe is equally versatile. You can make leftovers into Albondigas Soup (Meatball Soup) or top them with a Fresh Tomato Sauce to ring the changes.
Double up on Roast Chickens
If you are going to roast one Oven Baked Roast Chicken, you may as well roast two. One lot of dirty pans and washing up, but two to three leftover meals. Leftovers make Cajun Chicken Pasta, Easy Chicken Salad, Chicken Pasta Bake and you could even use the carcasses to make the Best Chicken Soup Recipe.
Make the most of Vegetables
Seasonal vegetables are a cheaper option than meat, chicken or fish. Use vegetables in abundance in a stir-fry, and then add a tiny bit of finely sliced steak to make up a warm Thai Beef Salad. Make a Vegetable Casserole or a Spinach Quiche Recipe - both easy healthy recipes. And as the weather warms up, meals get lighter: how about a lighter healthier version of a 7 Layer Salad Recipe?
May Meal Planning is now available and offers a wide variety of quick, easy dinner ideas.
