The abundance of fresh produce this time of year always inspires me to think of some new things to make for dinner. There are lots of ways to make cheap dinners using seasonal spring produce, because in many instances you can skip expensive proteins altogether!
7 Cheap Dinners Using Seasonal Spring Produce
Roasted Spring Veggie Bowls | Fit Mitten Kitchen
Use whatever vegetables you can find on sale at the store or the farmers’ market, and then add it to a bowl with rice. You can add some protein on top if you want.
Spring Veggie Frittata | Orchid and Sweet Tea
Anything with eggs is going to be a great way to keep dinner cheap. You could add some bacon or sausage on the side and have breakfast for dinner.
Black Bean and Veggie Quesadillas | Her Highness Hungry Me
Skip the meat and add canned black beans to whatever veggies you have, along with some cheese.
Sheet Pan Chicken with Spring Vegetables | Well Plated
I love sheet pan meals because it all goes in the oven together. You could use chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe.
Fried Rice | Plant Based and Broke
Adding stuff to rice is a great way to use up an abundance of vegetables. You can even scramble some eggs in for some extra protein.
Pasta Primavera | Love and Lemons
Who doesn’t love pasta? Any vegetables will be delicious combined with warm pasta, and then sprinkle some cheese on top.
Lentil and Vegetable Curry | Cookie and Kate
Keeping meat out of dinner is one of the best ways to keep it cheap. But adding a delicious sauce like curry makes it still feel like an exciting dinner!
