Tuna Patties

These tuna patties have become a weeknight favorite in my kitchen because they're ready in under twenty minutes and honestly cost just a few dollars to make. I love that canned tuna is packed with omega 3 fatty acids that are great for your heart and brain, plus it means no special shopping required. The bright lemon juice and fresh herbs keep things from tasting fishy, and that little kick of hot sauce adds so much flavor without any fuss. They're crispy on the outside, tender inside, and perfect with just some lemon wedges on the side.

Campfire stew

Nothing beats a hearty campfire stew when you're feeding a crowd, and this one's become my go to recipe because it's so straightforward to throw together. The beauty of this dish is that most of the work happens while you're relaxing by the fire, letting everything simmer away for hours. Gammon gives it a wonderfully smoky flavor, while the haricot beans pack in fiber and protein to keep everyone satisfied. It's the kind of rustic, warming meal that tastes even better outdoors, and honestly, it costs very little to make while feeding plenty of people.
