5 Easy and Affordable Dinner Recipes

May 5, 2022

Check out these FIVE recipes below that caught my eye! I chose these recipes because they’re affordable and seems easy to make! Definitely my kind of recipes…WIN, WIN!

I did an approximate cost summary for each recipe. I hope it’s helpful since sometimes you can go to a store with a recipe and have no idea how much it will be until you get to the register. There are probably some ingredients in each recipe that you already have, but I added them just in case. What I didn’t include are some ingredients that most people have in their home already such as pepper and margarine. 😉

I made one of them already, but can’t wait to make the others!


1. Baked Rigatoni from Semi Homemade Recipes – I ended up making this, and it was a hit with the kids! YASSS!! Super easy to make, and a couple of the kids had 3 helpings! Even Mariah who is a picky eater had 2 helpings.

I did make this dish using 2 boxes of rigatoni because the kids were going to eat this after practice. They’re always really hungry when they get home. I was right because there was only one scoop left at cleanup!

3. Taco Pasta Recipe – If I made this, I’ll probably separate portions of it with 1 with beans and 1 without. I know the kids will complain if they saw beans…lol.

Give me some fresh-squeezed lemonade & some throwback music and my night is pretty much perfect! And that’s exactly what last night was at the TLC, Salt-N-Pepa, and EnVogue concert! Such a fun night, loved seeing so many familiar faces, and can we just talk about how amazing those icons looked on stage?! 🔥

Snuck in a family vacation up in Minnesota during dead week before all the craziness of fall sports started.  No schedules, nowhere we had to be, just lots of family time and memories made. Definitely the kind of week you wish you could bottle up. 🤍

Celebrated the USA’s 250th! 🇺🇸 My family came here from the Philippines when I was 3 yrs old. I’m so thankful for the sacrifices that were made for us to be here and for the life we’ve been blessed to build!

I forgot that it was Earth Day this week and the kids quickly reminded me that I never made my yearly dirt cups. Proof that even as they get older, it’s still the little traditions they hold onto the most. 😊
