While the government alleges the cost of living is under control, we are currently on one income and really struggling to keep costs down. I’m keen to hear from people what their favourite recipes are which are:

• cheap
• quick enough to make on a week night
• nutritious but picky-kid-friendly (my kid at least will only eat veggies if they’re hidden in pasta sauce, and limited meats that aren’t in chicken nugget form)

Current staples include nachos, fried rice, spag bol and sausages but I’m keen to diversify and figure there have to be others out there wrestling with both picky kids and groceries being expensive as fuck.
