A dozen eggs in an egg carton

Eggs are the ultimate ingredient for low-effort fare that somehow still manages to feel a bit fancy.

A fluffy omelette uses up whatever you have on hand and is satisfying and oh so quick to throw together.

Try our easy pea-sy take on the classic smashed avo or add eggs to take a basic salad from humdrum to yum yum.

Tinned beans and lentils

Beans and lentils are a great source of protein that pulsate with value at just over $1 a can.

Their budget-friendly credentials though are no match for their versatility.

From salads to soups, burritos to burgersdips to dahlcasseroles to curriesand stews to smoothies, legumes are the chameleon of the food world.
