It's not always easy planning meals on a budget. Steak and lobster can be out of reach, but living on hot dogs and French fries isn?t an option either.
Today we'll meet Stacy, a single mom cooking on a budget. Stacy has two kids who are sick of the same old meals. She wants to keep it healthy, creative, and inexpensive. We'll teach her how to use everything in a Fish Soup with Garbanzo Beans and Panzanella Salad. Then a Grilled Tilapia With Fresh Herbs and Grilled Assorted Veggies turns into leftover Grilled Fish Tacos with a Grilled Vegetable Salsa.
TIPS:
- Keep tortillas warm and soft by wrapping a stack of 4 or 5 tortillas first in a damp dishtowel, then in recycled aluminum foil. Heat the package in a 300 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
- You can also wrap a stack or 4 or 5 tortillas in a damp dishtowel and microwave for 10 seconds per tortilla.
- Make a loaf of frozen, unsliced bread seem almost fresh baked, brush the crust with water and then place in a 350 degree oven, directly on the oven rack. Heat through, about 15 to 20 minutes. The crust will have the chewy, crispy texture of a fresh-baked loaf.
