Real Food Real Deals

Annemarie Rossi, a self-described “regular mom," started a blog to offer simple, healthy, and affordable alternatives to processed foods. Real Food Real Deals follows a four-point checklist for each recipe—real (avoids overly processed ingredients), easy (30 minutes or less), affordable (recipes include the cost breakdown), and flavor (because if it doesn’t taste good, who’s going to eat it?).

Real Food Real Deals takes traditional favorites and adds a nutritious twist, like avocado deviled eggs or carrot and zucchini fritters. Rossi is also the author of the 2014 cookbook, "Conquering Your Kitchen: How to Plan Meals, Shop, and Cook Real Food with Confidence and Purpose!" The guide features 80 healthy recipes that follow Rossi's four key tenets for cooking.

Budget Bytes

A self-proclaimed "food lover and number cruncher," Beth Moncel created Budget Bytes in 2009 after earning a college degree in nutritional science and working a low-paying job. She found herself unwilling to sacrifice healthy eating on a tight budget and began tracking the cost of her food, which cut her grocery bill in half.

More than 10 years later, Moncel's Budget Bytes boasts countless healthy, budget-friendly recipes, instructional how-tos, pantry staples, and meal prep content. Budget Bytes became a cookbook in 2014, and in 2016, the blog won the Best How-To Food Blog Award from Saveur magazine.

Every Budget Bytes recipe includes the cost per recipe and cost per serving. There's also a Budget Bytes app that includes features like step-by-step photos, built-in timers, and adjustable serving sizes.
