More Family Meals for under $10!

habaneros.jpgThe snow's piled high in Vermont, and the fireplaces and heaters are working overtime. Most of the country is pretty darn cold right now (no laughing, Southern California readers!), which means lots of our hard-earned cash is going towards keeping warm!

Saving a little green when it's cold and gray is always a good thing. We have a recipe that will bring you great South-of-the-Border flavor and will satisfy the whole family: Black Bean and Chipotle Cheddar Burritos. Did I mention it costs under $10 to feed 4 people?

In the past, beans were almost a clich? when talking of tightening your food budget. But nowadays, we know so much about how nutritious they are, providing B-vitamins, fiber and complex carbohydrates, most consider them the perfect addition to any menu. This dish is also versatile enough for lunch or dinner. It can be prepared for dinner and served with a simple side of Spanish rice (steamed rice mixed with salsa). Or, try brown bagging it to work one day and make even more room in your food budget.
