It’s been a complicated year, so why not make the holidays simple! A simple menu can cost less and be easier to prepare.
Stretch recipes by adding rice to soups, frozen vegetables to pasta dishes, or cooked beans to burgers. This also bumps up the nutrition!
Instead of a traditional holiday meal, have a brunch or potluck instead. Egg dishes are less expensive with lots of protein. Have the kids set up a yogurt parfait bar.
