Frugal Eats: Gluten Free Brownies

Budget Savvy Diva has put together another Frugal recipe for you.  Each week, she’ll share a recipe a family of 4 can make for $5 or less.

If you did not know Budget Savvy Diva is Gluten Free – meaning I do not eat anything with gluten in it – like anything that is made with flour. Most of my favorite foods are made with flour – cookies, cakes, pasta, pizza, soy sauce, gravy, the list goes on. Because I am gluten free for health reasons – I have a VERY strict diet – but that does not mean I wanted to give up flavor or my favorite things to eat :) So I provide recipes that I love that just happen to be gluten free

For the list of gluten free recipes please head on over HERE

Farm Fresh Meal Idea: Diana’s Chicken Thighs with Honey & Soy Sauce

by Dana Zeliff on March 19, 20112011-03-19
in Farm Fresh Weekly Ads, Recipes

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

This is a meal that my mother-in-law makes.  I think it is a frugal dish because I always (okay, almost always) have these ingredients on hand. 

The Farm Fresh 03/16 weekly ad has Perdue Boneless Skinless Chicken breasts on sale for $1.99lb.  I typically purchase the bone-in, skin-on thighs because it is significantly cheaper and it only takes a few minutes to remove the skin.  There is something to be said for convenience though!

Diana’s Chicken Thighs with Honey & Soy Sauce

Serve with rice and carrots

Price for chicken $3.16
*Assuming all other ingredients on hand
Richfood Instant Rice $1.79
Baby Carrots $0.99

Total cost: $5.94
*When I made this, I served with free rice and $0.33 corn = $3.52

Ingredients
4-6 Chicken thighs
1/4 Cup honey
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 Tbsp Melted butter or margarine
1 Egg Yolk

Directions
1. Preheat over to 400°F and grease or spray baking dish
2. Mix all ingredients in bowl
3. Roll chicken in mixture and place in prepared dish.  Pour remaining mixture over chicken
4. Bone-in: Bake 30-35 min, flip and bake another 30-35 min. or until done
     Boneless: Bake  20 min, flip and bake another 20 min. or until done
