I just adore this 95 year old lady named Clare sharing her great depression recipes. There's something so wholesome about her and it's inspiring to me.

Edit: I forgot to say check out the app "super cook" you add all the ingredients in your home and it tells you recipes you can make. Tons of them!

This only sort of answers your question, but I’ve been focusing on seeing how many ways I can use an ingredient to help narrow down recipes. Saves money, uses every scrap of something, and forces creativity.

I roasted two chickens on March 20th, covered in a paste of garlic, anchovy, and mustard. Those were worth a couple hot meals with rice, sandwiches with spicy/sweet pickles, part of a salad, then drippings and bones for ramen broth and the base of a tomato soup (with Parmesan rinds simmered in, no soldier left behind). Just now finishing the last of it all.

I find if you stick to the outsides or the store and avoid conveniences foods there are lots of options. All of the produce is in stock, and I’ve been able to get what I need from the meat and cheese counters. Be flexible on meat. You can always buy whole chickens and break them down and if you have to buy higher fat ground beef you can drain it. Here are some recipes I’ve made the last two weeks:

Brats and red cabbage

Red Pepper Pasta

Chicken Patty Parm

Butter Chicken

We bought 3 lbs (roughly $20 worth) of salmon and turned it into 3 meals

Teriyaki Pork Loin and Asian Broccoli

Eggs Benedict with avocado sauce is one of my favorites lately. Boil about 3 inches of water. Once it’s boiling, toss in two tablespoons of vinegar and one tablespoon of salt. Lower from high heat to medium heat. Crack an egg in a bowl and then slip it gently into the water. Do this with as many eggs as you’d like. Leave in the water 4-5 minutes. Then scoop out with a spoon with holes in it and lay gently on a plate covered with paper towels. Dust eggs with paprika. Fry up some bacon (should actually do this while boiling water and cooking eggs). Toast some English muffins. Butter them. Place a slice of American cheese and then bacon and then poached eggs.

To make avocado sauce, cut an avocado in half and scoop out the inside (I usually save the other half by wrapping tightly in tin foil). Dice avocado and put in bowl with 1/4 cup of butter. Microwave for 30 seconds. Whisk it all up, then add three tablespoons of mayonnaise. Whisk until creamy and smooth. Add chili powder and pepper, just a dash each. Top eggs Benedict with this.

It is delicious! And cheap. Buy a dozen eggs, English muffins, bacon, and avocados and you can make this multiple times. I’ve also made it with frozen avocados and it turns out almost as good :)

I’m currently doing this with a family pack of drumsticks, but you can use whatever chicken you can find. I like to save money by making everything from scratch, so I’ll make chicken pot pie with 2c flour, 3/4c shortening (nobody is buying shortening here lol), 1 tsp salt, and 1/3c cold water all mixed together for the crust. The rest you can eyeball.

Start boiling some chicken with bones, carrot peel, onion scraps, and whatever spices for about half an hour, then pull the chicken out and shred it. I leave the stock boiling and add diced carrots, peas, celery, and onions to the bowl with the chicken. Season as needed. I pull about a cup of the stock out and make a quick gravy with it and butter and flour, then mix that into the other stuff. All of this can go into the crust and bake at 400 F for about an hour.

Once the pie is gone, you can use whatever vegetables and chicken you have left over to make chicken noodle soup. Just water down the stock a bit, add egg noodles, and you’re good to go. Egg noodles are also easier to find than regular pasta right now in my experience. Hope this helps!

Red beans and rice are a go to for me. I don’t have a recipe as I just throw things together but I bet you can find one online easily. Cheap, nutritious and delicious. Don’t be shy with the seasonings/spices.

Can’t go wrong with a simple Mac and cheese. I pretty much just throw a bunch of shredded cheese (any type, I like cheddar or those kraft mixed bags), cream cheese, and a little bit of sour cream on noodles and stir over low heat until it’s all melted. It’s a hard recipe to mess up.

Edited to add another recipe:

You can make spaghetti with meatballs super easily with frozen meatballs. One bag lasts us a decent amount of time. I throw some of the meatballs on a skillet and cook them until they’re mostly thawed, and then pour whatever jarred pasta sauce we have over them. Cover and let that simmer on low so the balls can soak up the sauce. If I’m feeling extra ambitious, I sauté some veggies with the balls before adding the sauce.

As far as simplicity goes, I've been using this recipe all week, and it's honestly the nicest bread. I love having a fresh loaf of bread around to snack on with a coffee in the morning. The only tweak to the recipe I do is glaze the dough with some honey and hot water then sprinkle on some sesame seeds before baking.

What do you have on hand? Have you seen NY Times 5 adaptable recipes?

Easy chicken noodle soup.

Bring two quarts of chicken stock to a boil, dump in half a pound of egg noodles, open a can of chicken breast and chop it before dumping it in the pot. Add garlic, parsley, celery seed, salt, and pepper to taste. When the noodles are cooked in about 8-10 minutes, you are done.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes to cool. Super easy and quick.

One of my favorite low econ meals is shoyu potatoes. First heard about it from a Hawaii friend but they're real easy and cheap. Almost no ingredients. A good way to mix it up.

If you haven't checked out the blog Budget Bytes it is a truly amazing website. I can't reccomend her enough. I was on a $35/week (or less) budget for a couple years and I am currently also trying to keep my cost low. Tasty recipes, a lot are freezer friendly, basic ingredients, I'd say you can get most of the ingredients at Adli/Wal Mart!

May I recommend Jack Monroe’s Cooking On A Bootstrap and Tin Can Cook?

Beans, rice and edible weeds. Season with bacon and garlic.
