Best Pumpkin Recipes
I LOVE October. Pumpkins, costumes, cider, the smell of fallen leaves, and lots and lots of candy…what’s not to love? In celebration of October and all things pumpkin, I’ve pulled together some of our best pumpkin recipes to make the most of the season. There are plenty of budget-friendly sweet treats, of course, but you’ll […]
Savory Pumpkin Fritters
These Savory Pumpkin Fritters are crisp and golden around the edges, with soft, tender centers packed with pumpkin, Parmesan, onion, and herbs. Yep, we’re taking pumpkin firmly into savory territory here! I use canned pumpkin purée, so you don’t have to peel, roast, grate, or squeeze anything before you start. The batter comes together in […]
Crockpot Mac And Cheese
This Crockpot Mac and Cheese gives you tender macaroni in a rich, creamy sauce with very little hands-on work. All you have to do is give the pasta a quick head start on the stovetop so it can finish cooking gently in the slow cooker without turning mushy. This recipe makes 8 servings for just […]
Greek Chicken Soup
Greek Chicken Soup, or Avgolemono soup, is a bright, lemony chicken and rice soup with the silkiest broth (made without a drop of heavy cream!). The creaminess actually comes from eggs, which are whisked with fresh lemon and slowly blended into the hot broth. The method may be a little different from your usual soup, […]
Pumpkin Curry
This Pumpkin Curry is thick, velvety, rich, and flavor-packed, with tender fresh pumpkin, warm spices, and creamy coconut milk. I love curry year-round, but there’s something special about those crisp autumn months that really makes me crave it, and this one does the trick! It’s a completely vegan meal that comes together in less than […]
Zuppa Toscana
Zuppa Toscana is probably one of the richest, most hearty soups out there and is definitely one of my favorites. This creamy soup with tender potatoes and flavorful Italian sausage is modeled after the famous Zuppa Toscana from The Olive Garden restaurant, but I threw in my own personal twist. I’ve added an extra budget-friendly […]
Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs
These Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs roast up juicy and golden with butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and red onion all on the same pan. I love sheet pan meals because they’re super easy to throw together, budget-friendly, and great for feeding the family or stocking the fridge with leftovers for the week. This one is packed […]
Easy Potato Recipes
Few ingredients can stretch a grocery budget quite like a bag of potatoes. Turn them into soup and you’ve got a filling dinner, roast them for a super easy side dish, or add them to breakfast and suddenly everyone stays full a whole lot longer! This collection of easy potato recipes has plenty of ideas […]
Classic Potato Soup
Some recipes just feel like home, and Classic Potato Soup is one of them for me. This soup is thick and creamy, with plenty of tender potato chunks and savory flavor from a handful of everyday ingredients. My mom always made potato soup when we were under the weather, and I still find the warmth […]
Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese
Confession: the only time I ever care about sports is when I’m tasked with providing the snacks, and this crispy, spicy, delightfully messy Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese has me feeling like a real-deal cheerleader. (Go team, but mostly, go cheese!) Luckily, you don’t need a stadium-sized budget to enjoy game-day flavors. I keep this recipe […]
