This Indian-inspired soup celebrates the sweet potato. When it comes to the low-budget-to-nutrient ratio, this vegetable takes the grand prize. Want to cut your grocery bill even further? As the soup already contains ample spices, simply replace the chicken broth with water. Beautiful, delicious, and the price is right.

Fennel and Citrus Soup
The combination of fennel and citrus is always a hit in summer salads. We’ve adapted this winning duo to include clementines, resulting in a perfect wintry soup. To replace the store-bought lemon olive oil, which can sometimes be expensive, you can let lemon zest infuse olive oil for 12 hours. It can be used liberally to flavour pasta, salads or other soups.

Cajun Salad with Fried Okra, Blackened Corn, Green Beans and Kielbasa
This bold, spicy number is our nod to New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. Each player holds its own: The crispy fried pieces of popcorn okra bounce off shaved strips of blackened corn, while smoky grilled kielbasa slices are punctuated by the fresh snap of blanched green beans. Tossed with a Cajun-spiced dressing (keep extra for dipping), this brassy bowlful suits any outdoor grilled feast.

Some advance prep the day before will pay off big time when everyone gathers around your kitchen island. Organize all the pita toppers on the counter and then have the kids divide and conquer. Within no time, the party will be crunching.
