In Need Of Some Easy,Cheap Recipes

With the status of my economic situation,I have become the main cook again.
Feeding a family of four.
What I am looking for are some easy to moderate maybe even difficult recipes for a challenge.
I might share a few of mine also.

Main ingredients would be one of the following....

Beef,hambuger
Chicken
Pork

Other ingredients ........

Pasta
Potatoes
Rice
Veggies

We love to experiment and my cooking skills are pretty good.
We also love mexican,italian ,Irish,Chinese and American.

So,any ideas and inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
K

i have plenty of recipes but there are literally thousands of free sites that have them why ask for any here? you should check out instructables.com they have food area.

Sign of the times, huh? If we were friends on Facebook I could show you dozens of extremely healthy Cherokee dishes. Since we're not, I would like to share this with you. I was taught by Elders that to maintain a good health we must eat the foods that we were designed to eat. Such as, I am from North America so I mostly (not always possible) eat foods that are indigenous to there. Foods from South America would also be healthy for me to eat. The healthiest choices would be locally grown. Especially so regarding honey. Fruits and vegetables that originate in Europe are the least healthy, for me. Likewise, a European diet consisting of fruits and vegetables from North/South America would not be healthy, for Europeans.

Basically because I have been through every site and have cooked upped stuff .
Just looking for something new and different.

I have become expert in Paula Deen,but it's time to move on.

There has to be a recipe out there that is totally conspiracy in nature!

Kraft Dinner + Wienies and Ketchup = "KD Delight"

Dad used to call bologna "Ukrainian Round Steak"



Had to do it.

But try this thread. Lots of great ideas here:

Thanks,Des.
Does it include goat?
I'm kinda partial to greek food,like goat on a stick.

Do you want something that takes a long time and stinks up the house?

I can get you my moms recipe for tripe.

Shame on you!!!! No goat recipes from me. I've been on a Cuban kick for about 2 weeks, using a lot of Bijol seasoning.

Made a great Cuban chicken soup Monday with side of Cuban yellow rice....had some of the yellow rice last night with home made salsa on it....yummmm....

Cooking is one of my passions!
I do it all from Italian to Indian

MyRecipes.com has tons of ideas!!!!!!!!!!

This is a favorite fast cheap meal around my house. I double up on the diced green chili peppers because I really like the pepper flavor.

Chicken Flautas

4 cooked chicken breasts
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chili peppers, drained
1/2 tsp. cumin
Flour tortillas

Skin and bone chicken breasts. Shred chicken. In a medium size bowl, stir together shredded chicken, cheese, chili peppers and cumin. Set aside. Heat flour tortillas, a few at a time in plastic wrap in a microwave, only until soften. Spoon about 1/4 of the filling down center of tortillas. Roll up tightly. Secure with a toothpick. Fry in a deep fryer or pan fry 2 or 3 at a time until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Remove toothpicks and serve with sour cream and salsa.

I don't think there is any point in posting a recipe...but being the cook in the house and the dad it's not so much getting cheap ingredients it's getting stuff the kids will eat...If you have any chinese or korean markets start out there.

If it's a big enough place the fish is usually in the tank and it's killed to order and it's not crazy expensive. For some reason the vegetables and chicken is always cheaper..
