Everyday Frittata

“We use evaporated milk here because it has a richness similar to that of sat fat-heavy half-and-half, but with far less fat. Be sure to shake the can vigorously before using. We love the flavor that bacon adds, but if you’d rather omit it, each serving will contain 212 calories, 13.2g total fat (4.4g sat), and 379mg sodium.

Cost for 4: $6.95
Total Time: 20 minutes”

Smoky Two-Bean Vegetarian Chili

“A wee bit of canned chipotle chiles goes a long way in infusing this hearty chili with rich, smoky flavor and a hint of heat.

Cost for 4: $4.69
Total Time: 28 minutes”

Beef Chorizo Tacos with Cabbage Slaw1503w-beef-chorizo-tacos-logo-2

“Each person gets three filling tacos for a satisfying meal full of fresh veggie crunch. Garlic, paprika, cumin, and vinegar turn ground beef into near-instant Mexican-style chorizo, much leaner than the traditional pork version.

Cost for 4: $8.37
Total Time: 25 minutes”
