  1. Here are some budget-friendly meal ideas that are both delicious and easy to prepare for two:

    1. Stir-Fried Rice: Use leftover rice, frozen veggies, and an egg or two. Toss in some soy sauce and any protein you have on hand, like chicken or tofu.

    2. Pasta Primavera: Cook your favorite pasta and toss it with sautéed seasonal vegetables and olive oil. Add garlic and cheese for extra flavor.

    3. Chili: A can of beans, diced tomatoes, and some spices (like cumin and chili powder) can be turned into a hearty chili. Serve with bread or over rice.

    4. Vegetable Soup: Combine any leftover veggies you have with broth, herbs, and grains like barley or rice. Simmer until everything is tender.

    5. Fried Eggs and Toast: Simple, but comforting! Top the toast with avocado, tomatoes, or spinach for added nutrition.

    6. Quesadillas: Fill tortillas with cheese and whatever veggies or beans you have. Cook in a skillet until crispy, then serve with salsa.

    7. Curry Lentils: Cook lentils with coconut milk and curry powder, and serve over rice or with naan.

    8. Omelette: Beat a few eggs and throw in leftover veggies, meat, or cheese. Serve with a side salad.

    9. Taco Night: Use ground turkey or beans and spices, served with tortillas and any toppings you like—lettuce, cheese, and salsa are all great.

    10. Cabbage Stir-Fry: Sauté cabbage with garlic and any other vegetables you have. Serve with rice or noodles.

    These meals are not only affordable but also versatile, allowing you to use whatever ingredients you have on hand. Enjoy cooking!
