🔥 My 10-Meal Rotation That Keeps Dinner Cheap, Easy & Delicious

You don’t need 50 recipes—just 10 good ones and a little sauce magic. I don’t reinvent the wheel every night—I keep a core rotation of 10 go-to meals and just mix them up. That’s the secret. 🍝 Pasta? Always cheap, always easy. Homemade sauce, DIY noodles if I’m feeling fancy. 🌮 Any protein can go in a taco—hard shell, soft shell, whatever’s on hand. 🥩 Steak night or chop night? Air fryer with grill setting + meat thermometer = perfect meat, no smoke. 🥔 Potatoes are my MVP: baked, fried, mashed, twice-baked, even pancakes. 🍛 Pasta with red, white, garlic butter sauces. Toss in whatever meat or veg is on sale. It’s all about using your pantry staples—seasonings, carbs, sauces—and building around whatever protein and produce is marked down. Good food, less stress, zero waste. 🙌 #BudgetCooking #SimpleMealsBigFlavor #FrugalFoodie #PantryWins #EasyDinnersEveryNight
