Start with the Better Buy

Grocery prices are high enough. Dinner does not have to start with the most expensive meat or fish in the case.

Chicken thighs, tilapia, pork shoulder, potatoes, pasta and rice are all good places to save. The right seasoning can help turn those everyday ingredients into something you actually look forward to eating.

Tilapia is often one of the less expensive fish choices, and it cooks quickly. Season it with Dap's, sear it in a hot skillet and serve it on a toasted roll with the toppings you like.

Chicken thighs work especially well here if they are the better buy. Brown the seasoned chicken first, then use the same skillet for the peppers, onions and Parmesan cream sauce.
