12 Fun & Inexpensive Dinner Recipes To Try
Odyssey

Are you tired of ordering takeout or spending money eating out when you don't know what to cook? How about when you've been using the same recipes weekly, maybe even monthly? Well, that's where this article comes in handy. Here are some new (and perhaps interesting) recipes to cook for your family, a date, dinner party, or girls night.


1. Taco Lasagna

It's time to make Taco Tuesday a little more fun. Yes, you can still eat this with guac. Spice it up! Go to The Girl Who Ate Everything for the entire recipe. Yummy!

2. Meatball Sub Soup

Cheesy madness, garlic and tasty meatballs. Has anyone tried this? I sure haven't but it sounds amazing. If interested in this recipe, Delish has it right here.

3. Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Soup

If you love putting cheese on pasta, this is even better. I,myself, am a pasta lover and definitely need to try this ASAP. If you love cheesy pasta, this Delish recipe is the one for you.

4. Grilled Veggie Pizza

Everyone loves pizza. If you can't seem to give it up if you're on a diet, I suggest you try this recipe. This goes for vegetarians also. If you're vegan and there's an ingredient you can't have, try to change it up! Click Delish to see more.

5. Stuffed Peppers With Corn, Black Beans, And Pepperjack

Good news! This recipe only takes about 20 minutes. Not only is it a good dinner recipe, but you could make it for lunch as well. Click this Southern Delish recipe if you're interested in making a quick and tasty eat.

6. Strawberry Balsamic Pasta Salad

Calling all salad lovers, this is a must try. Not only is it delicious, but it's also healthy. It makes for a great lunch or even an appetizer for a dinner party. Try out this bowl of goodness. So Delish!

7. Greek Chicken Gyros

Greek chicken, Tzatziki, and homemade Greek pita flatbread? Count me in. Who wouldn't want to eat homemade pita flatbread instead of store bought? Check it out at Cooking Classy.

8. Chicken Pot Pie Homemade "Hot Pockets"

Pot pies are quick and easy to warm-up, and so are hot pockets. BUT... Making them both into the same meal sounds fantastic. Grab the recipe from Delish and eat away!

9. Garlic-Knott Pizza Bake

Goodbye, pizza delivery boy... I have replaced you. I will no longer be spending money weekly ordering pizza. I know we'll miss each other but I think I'll try this recipe from Delish.

10. Mac And Cheese Chili

I'm a fan of both mac and cheese, and chili (green chili is a family favorite). The spicier and cheesier, the better. This could make for one Damn Delicious dinner.

11. Avocado Hummus Taquitos

Avocado and hummus sound like an interesting mash-up, but I'm so for this. Who doesn't love Avocados and hummus? Check out The Wholesome Dish for more info on this awesome dish!

12. Oven Baked Chicken Fingers With Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Skip the chicken nuggets from McDonald's. In fact, skip all of the fast food restaurants and make these instead! Homemade honey mustard sauce sounds healthier than pre-packaged. Same with the chicken. Delish is the website to go to!


Hope these recipes will do you justice! Even all of you college kids out here, this one's for you. If there's any awesome recipes you'd like others to try, feel free to leave them in the comments!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
