Erin Chase, The $5 Dinner Mom, that's who! Erin's newest book, The $5 Dinner Mom One-Dish Dinners Cookbook is filled with more than 150 one-dish recipes that don't cost an arm and a leg, are easy to prepare and even easier to clean up after. Here are just a few mouthwatering examples straight from Erin's kitchen:
- Bowtie Pasta with Bacon, Corn and Parmesan
- Santa Fe Chicken and Rice Casserole
- Skillet Taco Pie
- Sausage and Black Bean Soup
- Spicy Quinoa with Corn, Beans and Lime
Erin's even included a few $5-and-under deserts like Mango Raspberry Crumble and Pear, Apple and Caramel Crisp to round out a meal on nights when the budget allows. With her new book, Erin Chase shows America that it's not only possible to eat right, eat well and stay on a budget. She also shows us how easy it can be to cook, clean up fast, and spend more time with the family.

Add a CommentGood book if you live in the states. As the food prices are way too off to make these recipes for $5 in Canada. ( .20 cents for bbq sauce)
I didn't find anything new recipe-wise in this book, but did have a chuckle at the writes food price breakdown.
If your starting out on your own this may be a good recipe book for you as the meals are cheaper - not $5 though - and there are lots of them in the book.
Another let down from this book - no pictures of the final product.
Lots of good recipes, although there are many of them that couldn't be made for $5 here in Canada. $10 maybe, but not $5.
