Budget Friendly Meals

Jigg’s Dinner. An iconic Newfoundland meal that’s our take on corned beef and cabbage. A link is included for instructions for making homemade Newfoundland style salt meat!

Fish and Brewis. A very old traditional Newfoundland recipe made from hard tack and salt cod. It’s still an incredibly popular dish year round as well as at the holidays like Easter, Good Friday and Christmas Eve.

Blueberry Balsamic Pork Chops. Simple seared or grilled chops with a savoury, sweet and sour sauce that compliments the pork beautifully.

Copycat Big Mary Chicken Sandwich and Taters. A great homemade copycat recipe for a well loved chicken sandwich from Mary Browns Famous Chicken and Taters.

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy. A budget friendly, very tasty 70’s throwback comfort food recipe that deserves to make a big comeback!

Orange Chicken. Quick, easy and baked, not fried. A very flavourful version of this Chinese style take-out dish that uses economical frozen orange juice concentrate as the base of the tangy sauce.

Easy Orange Balsamic Chicken. The marinade does double duty in this recipe; it’s also used as the base for the sticky glaze that gets brushed on the roast chicken pieces.

Souvlaki Steak with Lemon Chive Tzatziki. A great way to stretch a steak dinner into a budget friendly and flavourful family meal especially when served on homemade grilled flatbread.

Curry Chicken Salad with apricots and walnuts. A bright, intensely flavourful twist on good old chicken salad! Delicious on sandwiches or as the star of a dinner salad.

Herb and Garlic Rolled Steak Medallions. An economical way to serve grilled steak which includes a delicious method for infusing herb and garlic flavours into the meat.
