On a Budget | Simple and Delicious Meals with 5 Ingredients or Less 🛒🥬

Do you ever read a recipe from a blog and realize there's like five or six ingredients you don't have and may not use again apart from that recipe? Well I do! 🙋🏻 And while a love indulging in a fancier flavourful recipe once in awhile, most days I like to keep it simple. This video has a week of easy and delicious meals with only 5 ingredients or less. I don't include things like salt & pepper, olive oil and everyday spices in the 5 ingredients. It not only helps if you're on a tight budget like me, but also if you need a quick meal and if you're looking to eat less meat and more plants since these are all 100% vegetarian and some vegan 🌱 I hope you try some out and I'd love to hear what are your go-to five ingredient or budget-friendly meals!
