  • These recipes cost less than $25 to make and don’t require a ton of prep work.
  • Some of my favorite meals include egg-roll bowls, chicken pita sandwiches, and vegetarian tacos.

I use Trader Joe’s frozen sweet potato gnocchi to make a balanced one-pot dinner.

This dish is a more nutritious take on a comfort meal.

Egg-roll bowls are my go-to when I’m craving takeout.

I use Trader Joe’s marinated shawarma chicken to make easy pita sandwiches.

I simply cube Trader Joe’s sweet potatoes with olive oil and taco seasoning, and air fry them at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

While they cook, I microwave Trader Joe’s steamed lentils and warm up the corn-and-wheat tortillas. Then, I top the tacos with cabbage, cilantro, cheese, and red onion with a squeeze of lime.

This one cost me less than $15 to make.

The taco filling also reheats well the next day.

Like the shawarma chicken sandwiches, these tacos are easy to customize depending on your mood.

I love this specific combination because the sweet potatoes and lentils make the tacos hearty and slightly sweet, while the cabbage and red onion add a refreshing bite. Plus, the cheese provides a creamy, salty finish.

I usually make these for dinner, and the leftover filling reheats well for lunch the next day.
