If you’re sick and tired of spending lots of money and time planning and cooking dinner each night, this Quick and Easy, Budget Friendly Vegetarian Meal Plan is for you! Keep a look out for a new one each week.
Budget Friendly Dinners
Grocery prices are insane right now, so I know I’m not the only one looking for ways to save money when I can. There’s still a few things I won’t cut corners on, but for the most part these days I try to buy the cheapest versions of our grocery staples that I can find.
30 Minute Dinners
Both my boys are in school now, and as much as I love my alone time, I still want to spend lots of time with them. Dinners that take 30 minutes or less to prepare make it so I’m not stuck in the kitchen all evening and I can spend more quality time with my family. I will try to keep all the recipes to 30 minutes, but may add some in that take a little longer, and then add some tips on ways to shorten them.
I hope you all can benefit from these meals and tips that I provide along with them! Enjoy and have a great week!
