Budget Bytes Weekly Digest 10/23

[Click Here to View The Latest Recipes Online]() Hello! I hope your week is off to a great start! It's really starting to look like fall here in Nashville, so I was all about warm comfort food this week! Here's what was new on Budget Bytes last week... [Ham & Cheese Biscuits]() Last weekend my mind drifted to my [5-Ingredient Freezer Biscuits](, as it often does on lazy Sunday mornings, and that got me thinking about breakfast sandwiches. From there it was only a matter of moments before I started to wonder what would happen if I baked a layer of ham and cheese inside my 5-Ingredient Freezer Biscuits. I finally had time to test the idea today and let me just say, best. Idea. Ever. But make no mistake, these Ham and Cheese Biscuits are super rich and indulgent, so save this recipe for a special occasion. While they are delicious, they are not something I could (or would suggest) eating every single day.

One major difference is that canned goods at Kroger are almost half the price of the canned goods at the local grocery store that I used to frequent. While I still miss the awesome produce selection at my old store, I can get grape tomatoes for a ridiculously low price here, which makes me SO happy. I love those little tomatoes! So today I whipped up this Garlic Toast with Balsamic Tomatoes and White Beans for lunch using those wonderful little tomatoes and some canned Cannellini beans.

OMG you guys, I forgot how insanely good this soup is!! That cinnamon is so warm and delicious in this savory soup. The scent really does tickle your brain. Anyway, I paired it with my super easy [Focaccia Rolls]( (begin these the night before) and then since I wanted to add more green to the meal, I just added a handful of fresh spinach to each bowl instead of cooking a separate side dish. The spinach will get stirred into the soup and will wilt when reheated, providing even more vegetable-y goodness to the soup!

Every once in a while, though, an email comes through with a recipe that happens to be exactly what I’m in the mood for eating that week. That’s what happened when I got an email from Rachel with a link to this amazing [Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Soup]( from Wegmans.com. The first thing that I noticed is that it has almost the same blend of warm and intoxicating spices that makes my [Yellow Jasmine Rice](=) so irresistible. So, of course I had to try it!
