[quote=Anonymous]We probably spend $1k/month and we're just a couple of DINKs. But just to add to the affordable meals here - I've started making veggie pot pies from scratch. I use different pie crust recipes - last time (yesterday!) I did this one: https://food52.com/recipes/78548-stand-mixer-pie-dough For the innards, I just saute whatever veggies we've got in a big pan - yesterday I used some carrots, frozen peas, a sweet potato, a punnet of good mushrooms - add some broth, whole milk, a bit of cheese, a lot of salt and pepper, and some cornstarch to thicken it up. Pour the innards in the crust. Bake at 400 for 40 minutes. It lasts us 2-3 days - and thanks to all that butter in the crust would probably at least partially satisfy hungry teens. The biggest expenses are the butter (we use expensive butter) and the mushrooms. I usually do a double crust but you could save $ and calories by doing just a single crust.[/quote]
