As a mom of 4, I’m always on the lookout for simple, healthy meals that won’t break the bank. One of my favorite tricks is reinventing recipes using the same affordable produce in fresh, creative ways. It keeps our meals exciting while sticking to a tight budget, and my kids stay well-fed with real, nourishing food.
I have found that cabbage is always very cheap and doesn’t need to be purchased organic. Cabbage doesn’t absorb the pesticides like other produce options, making cabbage a cheap staple food in our home.

We want to fill your freezer with foods that will help on those busy nights, to keep you from eating out and overspending.
Can I use coleslaw mix instead of buying cabbage?
The short answer is yes, but it comes with a price. Store-bought bagged coleslaw mix is sprayed to keep it fresh longer, and pound for pound, you will pay more. The nice aspect is the convenience, so if you want to pay for convenience, then you can definitely use it in place of buying a fresh head of cabbage for turkey egg roll in a bowl.
Many people get hung up on fast food, because any time you think of those 2 words your mind immediately goes to a fast food restaurant. I like to think of produce as my fast food! How easy it is to simply cut an apple, slice a carrot, chop a head of cabbage for a quick fix meal. I love the convenience of fresh produce. Try to shift your thinking about convenience and simply cut the vegetables yourself.
Busy weeknight dinner strategy
There are several nights during the week when I need to get dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less. Asian food in general is super quick for me. I will simply pour rice into my rice cooker, add water, and start the cooking process. As the rice is cooking, I will most of the time throw together an Asian stir-fry, like turkey egg roll in a bowl.
Whether you choose to use ground turkey, beef, pork, or chicken, this meal can be diversified with a different meat choice and vegetables. The sauce recipe stays the same, but can be doubled or tripled. We enjoy a version of this meal at least once per week, and sometimes more.
