When life gets busy and budgets start to pinch, it may seem like a great meal can be hard to come by. But we’re here to remind you that dinner doesn’t have to be hours in the making, or cost an entire paycheck to prepare. Instead, we’re sharing some quick and easy recipes that turn basic pantry staples (like boxed mac, frozen peas, and rice & beans) into a stellar meal. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about the wine, either! Uncork some of our favorite $15 and under bottles and you’ve got yourself a feast.
Don’t forget: Goodtaste with Tanji's sixth season starts the weekend of October 2-4!
Enjoy! Tanji |
