Buckeyes

These are my favorite treat. Chocolate and Peanut Butter is such a great combo the ingredients are cheap enough that you can get 4 times the amount that you would get buying Reese’s cups, and without all the preservatives and fillers.

Lancashire Hotpot

This is the traditional Lancashire Hotpot, which is a stewed dish made popular by working class families. It was something that could be made up cheaply, using tough cuts of lamb or beef and left to stew all day to soften up the cuts and make them palatable.

Sweet Southern Yams

Yams are a great side dish to add color and a candy-like sweetness. They’re something to whip up and allow to bake while you’re cooking a main dish. Definitely not healthy by any means, but the taste is worth racking up the calories for.

Low Carb Red-Pepper Sauce

This is a “fancy” sauce that pairs well with Fish and Chicken but can also be used as a dip. Depending on the price of heavy cream, you may want to make a double or quad order as this is really tasty and will last about 1~2 weeks in the fridge.

Hawaiian Pork Stir Fry

Here’s a healthy option for a Hawaiian Pork Stir Fry, The cornstarch helps to thicken the sauce a bit, but if you don’t have it you can use flour, you just won’t have the shiny-ness in the sauce that cornstarch gives.  If you don’t have flour then just the wine down to about 1/4 to keep it from being a runny sauce.  The recipe will also work with chicken, beef or tofu if you want to use this recipe more than once.

Plus you can use this as a good base for adding any other seasonging or add-ins that you want, and it also makes a great meatloaf.
