Frugal Recipes for Active Families

Our list of Frugal Recipes is a combination of kids recipes, cheap recipes and super simple recipes. All intended to be quick to prepare for either you or the kids, and be very wallet friendly. Oh...and all good eats.

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 simple recipes, or eating the kids recipes they make themselves. 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.

Scratch baking isn't high on my list of favorite things to do. So along with wanting frugal 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.
