4 recipes for less than $3 a serving

We all know that cooking can be challenging and expensive, but what if I told you that it didn’t always have to be that way? Today I’m going to share with you 4 recipes that won’t break your bank and taste incredible! All these amazing recipes cost $3 or less per serving! That’s insane! I hope you all enjoy.

The first recipe I want to share with you all is an apple chicken wrap. This recipe allows you to make as much as you want for only $1.25 per serving. Not to mention it’s pretty healthy too! I learned this recipe from 5dollardinners, so make sure you check them out and all the other great recipes they have!

http://www.5dollardinners.com/apple-chicken-lettuce-wraps/

What you will need: 1 lb. ground chicken (or you can make your own and dice it yourself)

6 tbs soy sauce

1 tbs vinegar

½ tsp salt

1 tsp garlic salt

2 tsp minced garlic (you can add more if you want a stronger garlic flavor)

1 tsp cornstarch

2 tbs honey

1 tps ground ginger

16 lettuce leaves (big enough to use as “shells”)

1 apple

Optional: green onions, other veggie toppers, ½ tsp crushed red pepper

Directions:

1)      In a skillet brown the chicken with both the garlic powder and the salt. Make sure that you cook the chicken all the way through

2)      In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and crushed peppers. Once well combined slowly stir into the chicken over a low heat and allow the sauce to warm up thouroughly.

3)      Combine the cornstarch with equal parts water. Once well combined mix in with the sauce and allow it to simmer for 3 minutes. In this time the sauce should thicken up. Add more cornstarch mixture if you desire a thicker sauce, and less if you want a thinner sauce.

4)      Carefully chop the apple up into small chunks and combine with the green onion. This mixture lightens up the meal and adds a layer of texture.

5)      Carefully layer everything up inside of the lettuce leaves. The chicken should be on the bottom topped with the apple and onions. And finally enjoy!

The next recipe I would like to share with you is called “Greek Turkey and Rice Skillet”. I learned this recipe from a place called Budget Bytes. To me it makes me feel fancy because it’s a different taste then normal American food. It makes me want to take a trip and enjoy some real Greek style food. Reguardless, this recipe is amazing and I highly recommend it. It also is low cost with a serving cost of $2.49.

https://www.budgetbytes.com/greek-turkey-rice-skillet/

What you will need:

1 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves of garlic (minced)

16oz Ground turkey (I prefer 97% Lean)

1 tsp dried oregano

¼ tsp salt

1 c. white rice

¼ lb spinach (fresh or frozen)

1/3 c. sun dried tomatos (optional if you don’t like tomatoes)

½ c. olives (sliced, I prefer black)

1 ½ c. Chicken broth

1 lemon

Parsley

1 oz feta cheese

Directions:

1)      Using a deep skillet pan, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes. In this time, you should start to smell the garlic. Once you can smell the garlic, add in the ground turkey and oregano. Make sure to salt and pepper to taste. Continue to sauté over medium heat until the turkey is cooked through. This typically takes about 5 minutes.

2)      While the meat is cooking take the time to slice the olives and tomatoes. Once the meat is cooked, add the rice, spinach, olives, and tomatoes to the skillet.

3)      Add the chicken broth and stir until well combined. Placing a lid on the skillet, turn the heat up to a medium high, allowing the mixture to come to a slight boil. Once it is boiling turn the heat back down to a low to medium low and simmer for another 15 minutes.

4)      Once 15 minutes has passed stir the mixture and replace the lid. Turn off the heat completely and allow the mixture to sit for an additional 10 minutes.

5)      While the mixture is sitting, zest half the lemon and slice it into wedges and roughly chop the parsley. Give the skillet a stir and top with the lemon zest, parsley, and feta.

6)      Serve with lemon wedges on the side for added zing and flavor. This allows the consumer to decide whether or not to squeeze the lemon over their helping.

The next recipe I would love to share with you guys is actually a vegetarian dish! Sadly, its not vegan, although it is easy to make it vegan style using vegan ingredients rather than things like real cheese. This recipe rings in at a total of $0.90 per serving, how amazing is that! The best part, its pizza! This pizza is a garlic and kale pizza, which is a healthy alternative then your average meat lovers’ delivery. This recipe also came from Budget Bytes, so make sure to check them out!

https://www.budgetbytes.com/garlicky-kale-and-ricotta-pizza/

What you will need:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 clove of garlic (minced)

6 cups of kale leaves (torn/shredded)

1 large pizza dough (if I’m lazy I use 1.5 tubs of the refrigerated Pillsbury ones)

¼ tsp garlic powder

1 c. whole milk ricotta

1 c. mozzarella

Directions:

1)      Preheat the oven to 400F. If the kale you purchased has stems, make sure to remove them. Rinse the kale well and tear into 2-inch pieces. These pieces may be bigger or smaller depending on your preference.

2)      Place the garlic and 1 tbsp of oil into a large pot and sauté over a medium heat for 1 minute. The garlic should turn soft and become fragrant. Add the kale and continue to sauté for an addition 5 minute. In this time the kale should start to wither. Season the kale with salt and pepper to taste.

3)      Shape your pizza dough into a circle or square and place inside either a pizza pan or baking tray of some sort. The normal size for a circular pizza is between 12 and 14 inches. Some pizza doughs require pre-baking before adding toppings so make sure to read the directions of the dough you choose. Many premade pizza crusts do not require this.

4)      In a small bowl combine the other tbsp of olive oil and garlic powder. Brush the mixture onto the surface of the dough. Sprinkle the kale evenly over the pizza dough. Top with the ricotta and mozzarella cheese. The mozzarella cheese should be the final layer to your pizza.

5)      Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the desired brownness of the crust and cheese. Slice the pizza into the desired servings and enjoy.

The last recipe that I would love to share with you is a desert. This desert is a chocolate lava cake. Lava cakes are one of my favorite deserts because its like there’s a surprise in the middle! They are so fun and gooey. It makes me feel like a kid again. The other good this about lava cakes is that there are so many different recipes out there. You can make red velvet, vanilla, chocolate, and even cookie ones! The combinations are endless.

https://www.eatwell101.com/chocolate-lava-cake-recipe-molten-chocolate-cake

What you will need:

7 oz butter

7 oz chocolate (can be whatever type you want)

5 ½ oz icing sugar

1 2/3 c. flour

1 tsp baking powder

4 eggs

Directions:

1)      In a saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter together over a low heat. This is best achieved using a double boiler, or a heat resistant bowl over a pan of water. You may also do this in a microwave but be careful as you can easily burn the chocolate this way. The best way is to start melting in 30 second intervals, and once it starts to melt drop down to 15 second intervals until well combined.

2)      In a bowl which together the icing sugar and eggs. Add in the flour and baking powder and gently mix until combined. Slowly add in the melted chocolate and butter until you get a smooth paste like consistency. Pour the mixture into small buttered molds and allow them to rest in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours. If you don’t have molds you can use oven resistant mugs or even cupcake tins.

3)      Once the batter has rested, preheat the oven to 360F. Bake the batter for 8 minutes until they turn a light golden brown.

4)      Serve and enjoy! These cakes go really well with chocolate syrup, caramel, whip cream, or even some ice cream on top. So, don’t forget to top it with something you enjoy!

Thank you guys so much for the support you have given me so far. I hope that you enjoy these recipes and check out the different people who help inspire me to do my cooking. Keep in mind that each recipe can be changed and tailored to meet your wants and needs. So don’t be afraid to experiment and try different things! I hope you guys enjoy!
