Starting out the day, I had high hopes for keeping my meal plan within the budget. Planning something for dinner was where the challenge began. Thankfully, the cheap go-to ingredient rice works great in plenty of different dishes. Assuming the household has spices on hand, I think all three of these meals would be acceptable for a family of four.
