Frugal family recipes for any day of the week!

Frugal dinner recipes you can make in no time, and fun treats made from things already in your pantry.

My kids always eat better when they've helped prepare the meal.

We also have a lot of good conversations and a lot of laughs around our kitchen table, either while making these frugal meals, or eating them. I've also found that a great way to introduce my kids to new flavors, and seasonings is to let them add those ingredients themselves. If they helped cook it, they want to eat it.

So stay within your budget, and tame finicky eaters by letter them help in the kitchen with a few of these frugal fun recipes.

Scratch baking isn't high on my list of favorite things to do. So along with wanting budget-friendly recipes, when it comes to sweets and treats, they need to be easy, easy, easy recipes.

These Sweet Eats are the ones that work for us whenever we want something homemade or "sort of" homemade -- Like combining boxed cake mix or other prepared foods with scratch ingredients.
