The Cumin Lime-Roasted Sweet Potatoes for a while much prior to the time that Budget Bytes was created. Why? because sweet potatoes are delicious and cheap This recipe is simple to make and has vibrant and bold flavors - just my kind of food! I've used this cumin-lime method to numerous recipe ideas since the beginning, yet combining it with the subtle, creamy sweetness that sweet potatoes provide will be one of my favorites. WHAT TO SERVE WITH CUMIN LIME SWEET POTATOES I made them from scratch this week, as I had an unexpected craving However, they're well with any Southwest-inspired dish. Serve them...

Have you ever gotten flavor overload? For instance, if you eat many times and the next day all you want consume is something easy? Maybe it's my personal experience or simply because I have to deal everyday with food however, yesterday I needed something that was, well, for want of an appropriate term, clean. I don't like using the term clean when it comes to food, because it's an such it's a buzzword, however that's exactly the way it tastes in this golden coconut lentil Soup tasted. It's easy, bright, light and easy. It's exactly the kind of thing I needed yesterday. LIGHT AND FRESH FLAVORS I've prepared lentils...

Ok, let me admit that that I have made this salad purely to help me get to make lime crema. This is solely about crema. It's life-changing and I've not been able to put off making it since the first batch. So, I decided to throw together a few of other ingredients that I love and it all came together to create a stunning organic rainbow and I came with the Roasted Sweet Potato Rainbow Salad (...with lime crema). MEAL PREP READY! This salad is ideal to prepare meals for the week ahead. Simply mix the ingredients of the salad, but make sure to add dressing...

I've been avoiding cauliflower for a few months because it's expensive. We had an acute shortage of cauliflower at precisely the time that the cauliflower rice, pizza crust made from cauliflower, and the"alfredo" sauces for cauliflower "alfredo" sauces hit their highest popularity, and we were sucked into a total cauliflower crisis. I remember hearing an article in the news that reported that heads of cauliflower were sold at more than $7 in certain regions! What. What's the matter? Prices have come down a little; I've stumbled across this pre-shredded and "riced" cauliflower at Trader Joe's and am having fun playing around with it. This week,...

The scent of this salad is a delightfully fresh smell of cucumbers, parsley, and savory green peppers. It's delicious. The only thing that's better than the smell is the taste. In short, the Super Fresh Cucumber Salad is one large bowl of crunchy, cold sweet, delicious loveliness. Cucumber tomatoes and cucumber salads aren't something new (definitely look into our creamy Cucumber Salad as well). However, I sometimes like to share minor variations of classics I'm currently loving. This week, when I looked through my fridge and noticed the remnants of red onion and feta, I knew I had to take a couple of tomatoes...

What could life be without salsa? I'm unsure and do not want to think this way. I'm a salsa fan by and large. I could eat it all using a spoon; I adore it. You can purchase a large bottle of generic red salsa for around a buck in the grocery store; however, sometimes you need more. The Fire Roasted Salsa will no doubt keep you coming back to know more... as well... And more. DO I NEED FIRE?? This salsa is referredcalledoasted" since I use an oven made of gas flame. However, you could make the doing an electric stove, too. There's no fire...

Summer is the time for lighter, fresher, brighter pizza. This week, I spent a little on fresh mozzarella for my Kale Pesto Pasta recipe to make a pizza. Wanted to ensure that the rest of the delicious cheese wasn't wasted. My first idea would be Margherita pizza. However, I thought of doing something different. Instead of topping the basic white pie with thin strips of fresh basil, I created a small batch of zingy pesto made from parsley and drizzled it on top of the pizza after it had cooked. OMMMGGGG. It's the best thing you've ever done. DO I NEED A FOOD PROCESSOR? This...

I don't often cook fish because it is priced higher than other fish. However, I've been craving it recently. Add in my constant efforts to purchase more sustainable and high-quality seafood and meat; the price is now even higher. What could I have done? I put my fish in a bowl with cheap items such as cabbage and rice. It's about balancing heavier items with more cheap items. These simple Baked Chimichurri fish Bowls consist of a Rice base, a large heap of simple red cabbage slaw, and cod filets cooked in a delicious chimichurri sauce. The extra chimichurri is drizzled on top to ensure that each...

Happy Saturday to all! I hope that your weekend is getting off to a great start. I want to take the time to post the salad I prepared this week using leftovers from my kitchen. It started with a twice-cooked batch of Simple Sesame Dressing I created to go with the cooked Broccoli Salad earlier this week. It was surprisingly inexpensive, but I didn't want the dressing wasted. Therefore, I paired it with a can of Mandarin oranges I've had stored in my pantry for quite some time as well as an avocado I bought on the day of the Cinco de Mayo sale as...

The pace of life is quite chaotic right now, with my food habits having been wholly ruined. It's the perfect time to get started on meal prep. Alongside my new Sunday Meal Prep series, I also decided to make my breakfasts in advance this week. I thoroughly enjoyed my No Sugar Added Apple Pie, Overnight Oats. I made it in the past last year, and I found some blueberries in my freezer, so I decided to create the same recipe but with a different flavor. Blueberry Almond Overnight Oats. APPLESAUCE SWEETENS NATURALLY Unsweetened applesauce proved the ideal sweetener again, and since apples have a...
