Budget-Friendly

Restaurant kitchens run on tight food costs, and chefs learn to waste nothing. These recipes use affordable staples like rice, cabbage, beans, and homemade seasonings to feed a family well without stretching the grocery budget.

Mix your own Authentic Adobo Seasoning for pennies, then cook Caribbean Steamed Cabbage and Coconut Rice. My Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Collard Greens is hearty and inexpensive.
