Putting a healthier everyday meal on the table for $10–12 is doable. Compare Curtis Stones’ Homemade Burger with Diane’s and see how easy it is to cut the kilojoules.

Here's how you can make tasty and healthy chicken nuggets for a main meal or lunch box, save money and be confident of clean plates.

I had some leftover mashed potato in the fridge and a rather sad little wedge of savoy cabbage and decided to do what my Mum would have done – make bubble and squeak.

Diane first created this for Low GI Gluten-free Living and it really is a one-pot wonder. You can substitute 450 g (1 lb) skinless chicken breast for about the same cost.

This makes a simple, easy meal by itself, served as an accompaniment with a grill or barbecue.

This recipe delivers a fast and frugal curry fix.
