How to Make Your Own Marinara Sauce

Quick and Easy Marinara Sauce

I think this recipe is from Family Circle Magazine. I like it because the ingredients are cheap and readily available and it only takes 10 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook. The only ingredient which could get expensive is the fresh basil – so if you want to substitute dried go ahead.

Easy Mexican Lasagna Recipe

Vegetarian Mexican Lasagna

Here is a great cheap recipe that is easy to make. Total prep time is maybe 10 minutes. If you wanted you could even do Step 1. the night before. That way all you have to do is put the stuff in the pan and bake. You can make low-fat if you like by using low-fat cheeses. The recipe includes a lot of veggies but they are mixed up in the lasagna so it is a good one for kids and people who have trouble working vegetables into their diet. This recipe is a sort of Mexican Italian fusion dish.

Cheap Trail Mix Recipe

Healthy Trail Mix Cookies

I have seen trail mix in the groceries stores that is really expensive and I know you can make your own trail mix much cheaper. I looked around and found a couple of different recipes you can try. The first one comes from a collection called Great Ramen Noodle Recipes and is a bit different from your traditional trail mix recipes. Originally, it called for more expensive nuts but I changed the nuts to peanuts since they are the cheapest nuts. Sunflower seeds are also inexpensive.

Canned Coffee Cheap

Cold Brewed Coffee Concentrate

If you like a good cup of coffee, it can be an expensive habit. You have to buy good quality beans, grind the coffee fresh and drink it right away. But what if I told you there was a way to make a smooth delicious cup of coffee as easy as making a cup of instant. Also, you could use this coffee to make iced coffee without having to ice it down and dilute your iced coffee drink. Sounds too good to be true but there is a way. It is called cold brewed coffee concentrate and it is so easy to make and you don’t have to use super expensive coffee. The recipe I am going to give you makes 4 to 5 cups coffee concentrate, enough for about 10 cups of iced coffee or hot coffee.
