Hi, I'm Meghan! I create simple and easy recipes for people who love good food but don't want to spend all day in the kitchen. I am the mom of two young boys so I understand how hard it can be to feed yourself and your family good food sometimes! I firmly believe that good food doesn't have to be complicated.
📃Budget Friendly Recipes
Hi there Reader --
Is sticking to a budget part of your New Years Resolutions? I have tons of budget friendly recipes to choose from.
Pantry Staples and Meatless Meals
Pantry staples like dried beans, lentils, and canned foods can really save so much money. As a bonus, they can be used to create really quick and easy meals that are healthy too! Here are some of my go-to pantry staple dinners!
Pantry Staple Dinners with inexpensive meat
Plant Based Pantry Staple Dinners
Pork
Pork tends to be less expensive in the meat department. Here are some of my highly rated pork recipes!
- Creamy Basil Skillet Pork Chops
- Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas
- Spaghetti Squash and Pork Stir Fry (this sounds weird but it's good!)
Eggs
Egg prices are going up again thanks to an avian flu going around. Looking to cut down on using eggs? Try these ideas!

One egg replacement that is popular in baking is a Flax Egg. Find out how to make one in this post.
If you don't want to use a flax egg, here are some other egg replacements that may work (depending on what you are making!). Keep in mind, the measurements listed below are for one egg, and I have not tested them in any of my recipes! Have you tried any of these?
- 1/4 cup apple sauce
- 1/4 cup mashed banana
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup mashed avocado
- 1/4 cup silken tofu
- 1/4 cup yogurt

When October comes, I am ready to welcome Fall with open arms. I'm looking forward to crisp, sunny days, changing leaves, and cozy evenings. Here is what's in season in October and how to use it.

OK, maybe "life saving" is a bit dramatic, but sometimes you need an easy dinner FAST and you don't have time to wash a bunch of dishes after. I love sheet pan dinners because they are made on one pan, and if you line your pan with foil you can just throw away the foil when you are done. Ta-da! You cleaned up. Plus, they can usually be ready in about 30 minutes. Here are my favorites! Easy Chicken Shawarma This recipe is a perfect weeknight meal. The chicken can marinate in about 20 minutes,...
