MeepsIsWellfed 2012-04-17T02:13:51Z 2012-04-26T22:41:15Z <p>What are you best budget friendly recipes? I'm especially interested in recipes that make enough for multiple meals. Here's mine:</p> <p><strong>Versatile Meat Mambo</strong><br> Approximately <strong>$12.50</strong> total or $1.14 a serving<br> Makes Approximately <strong>11 servings</strong> ~ Whole Foods prices<br> $8 - 2 lbs Ground Turkey thighs (or beef if you don't mind spending double on the meat)<br> $0.15 - 4 tsp Organic Italian Seasoning blend<br> $0.72 - 4 Eggs<br> $2.39 - 1 can organic diced Tomatoes<br> $1.09 - 1 can tomato paste<br> 3 minced garlic Yellow Onion diced 1 tsp salt </p> <p>Mix it all together in a big bowl, and put it in big rectangular Pyrex cooking dish. Smooth meat so fat distributes evening on top. Cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees. </p> <p>I eat this with one or two fried eggs at breakfast, mix it up with frozen broccoli and spinach at lunch, and then throw it on a salad with an olive oil/vinegar dressing. I also have it by itself for a meal or a snack. Lasts for quite a while. Would probably work to freeze half of it, or just half the recipe if you don't need quite that much meat. </p> <p>I think it's really quite tasty and it's versatile enough that I can eat it for days and not get bored. It does it's job, which is to be some ready made tasty protein I can pair with just about anything. </p> <p>Please share if you have any simple recipes that are cheap!</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/112497/share-your-best-budget-recipes/112505#112505 Answer by DanielleO812 for Share Your Best Budget Recipes?

Basically, how to make ancestral eating, or paleo-ish diets accessible to as many people as possible. Everything ended up being in the $5-ish range and under using minimal ingredients.</p> <p>It's worth a peek, I think there are 5-7 recipes WITH photos so you'll know what you're getting into :) </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/112497/share-your-best-budget-recipes/112607#112607 Answer by Nurta for Share Your Best Budget Recipes?

Mama_Z 2012-04-26T21:50:13Z 2012-04-26T21:50:13Z <p>I'd love more of this, but only for families of 4+ people. Holy food shopping bills, Batman. </p>
