Healthy Recipes for the Cost-Conscious Cook

You don't have to break the bank to eat well. These healthy recipes are budget-friendly, too.


Getting ready to take that summer vacation and trying to save money? These cost-conscious recipes are as friendly on the wallet as they are satisfying for the appetite.

Zucchini Pizza -- Nothing tastes better than fresh fruits from the garden or the farmer's market, and this is the time of year when zucchini and tomatoes are at their peak. The vegetables are plentiful and the prices are cheap, making this zucchini recipe a delicious bargain dish for the cost-conscious cook.

Stuffed Tomatoes -- Fresh tomatoes are stuffed with pesto, bread crumbs and cheese in this satisfying and incredibly healthy recipe.

Salmon Quesadillas -- Canned salmon makes these quesadillas inexpensive. The addition of kale and whole wheat tortillas makes them super heart-healthy.

Taco Rice Salad -- A kid-pleasing, easy-to-make, budget-friendly dinner in a single dish. What else could you want?

Roasted Garbanzo Beans -- What could be cheaper than a can of beans and some seasoning? This snack recipe is inexpensive and delicious!

Honey Nut Bean Dip -- Easy, healthy and full of fiber and protein, this bean dip is as good for your heart as it is delicious. Serve it with jelly on sandwiches.

Pea Salad -- You can make this budget-friendly salad with ingredients you probably already have on hand: frozen peas, sour cream, celery, onion and peanuts. Mmmmm.
