Introducing Erin Chase’s latest cookbook about feeding teenagers on a budget, plus the companion mini-cookbook that will teach your teens how to cook scrumptious recipes with “Shorts” videos!

The idea for this cookbook came to me about 15 years ago…in a booth at a lunch in NYC with my cookbook editor. 

And the time to share it with you is now…

So, yes…this is literally 15 years in the making! 

About Feeding Teenage Boys on a Budget

In this one-of-a-kind cookbook, Erin has pulled together all of the her boys’ favorite recipes and more to help you save as much as possible, while enduring the near impossible task of keeping up with the caloric needs of the bottomless pits that we call teenagers. Together, the introduction and guide will help you with the money saving strategies and the recipes can be incorporated into your family’s meal plan and in the end you’ll be spending as little as possible on your groceries.

Feeding Teenage Boys on a Budget includes:

  • 90 hearty, healthy recipes that won’t break the bank
  • Each recipe portioned to 8 servings, to make sure you have enough for your growing teens
  • A guide to help you cut costs with strategic shopping tips and meal planning hacks
  • Budget-friendly ingredients in every recipe to help keep your budget in check

Let Erin help you feed your growing brood without going for broke.

She’s ready for you to also fall in love with these budget friendly, hearty meals that are perfect for teens like: Twirly Mac n Cheese, Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet, Greek Chicken Bake, Citrus Salmon Foil Packs, Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Cups, Banana Bread with Caramel Glaze, Cherry Dump Cake, and so many more budget-friendly weeknight meals, breakfasts, lunches and snacks.

About Teen Cuisine

Teen Cuisine is a very specific type of cooking lesson that only your teen will understand. The shopping lists, recipes and videos are all super short and sweet…both because I know how busy teens are…and also, hello, attention span! 

With Teen Cuisine, you get recipes with specific cooking strategies (that can translate to many other recipes), along with shopping lists and cooking lesson videos. 

Your teen can get the groceries (if they drive), or they can set up an order for you. 

Your teen can watch the “YouTube shorts” style videos (hosted on a private page on the $5 Dinners website). 

Your teen can practice making the meals for your family. 

Your teen then learns very valuable life and kitchen skills that they won’t learn in school. And they might not learn from you (because I know how busy you are and how fast time goes!) 

Teen Cuisine is designed for YOUR TEENS TO DO ON THEIR OWN. (Let’s goooooo…personal responsibility!) 

Together, Feeding Teenage Boys on a Budget (for you!) and Teen Cuisine (for them!), will revolutionize your grocery spending through the expensive teenage years!

    I have custody of 5 children and all are food-particular in hundreds of different meals/foods – Other than pizza, burgers, fries and chicken broccoli curry, every one has different likes and dislikes. They are ages 16, 13, 11, 9 and 6. I’m always faced with at least one pout at suppertime, unless I serve additional meal options, which is getting exhausting!!
