1) Hilariously Easy Slow Cooker Bean Stew

The easiest recipe in this entire blog. Serves 4-5 generously at a cost of just 50-60c per serving.

2) Roasted Garden Barley

At a gloriously low cost of just 40c a serving, this humble recipe serves 5-6 as a main course, and as many as eight for a side dish.

3) Shaksouka

For a total cost less than three bucks, this easy and intriguingly spiced recipe generously feeds three.

4) Easy Tomato Curry

Healthy, easy, delicious... and just 95c a serving. One of our favorite recipes from last month's Recipe-A-Day trial.

It might not be the easiest recipe on this list, but at 70c a serving, this interesting pasta dish will be worth your while.

6) Black Bean and Giant White Corn Posole

Barely 85c per serving for a strikingly different take on black beans. Takes only about 35 minutes to make too.

8) Spicy Mote and Chicken Stew

Yet another top favorite from our recent Recipe-A-Day trial, this healthy (and delicious!) recipe costs less than 60c a serving.
