    Homemade Chicken Wings
20. 20
    This is a great cheap recipe when you’re craving the sweet tender meat of hot wings, but can’t afford to go out. This recipe is a fast, easy and fun way to create a great snack in a matter of minutes. This dish is still relatively cheap, ranging around $20 to $25. 
21. 21
    Ingredients
22. 22
    4 to 5 pounds of chicken wings
23. 23
    1 splash olive oil
24. 24
    1 pinch of salt
25. 25
    1 pinch of black pepper
26. 26
    1 ½ cups soy sauce
27. 27
    ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
28. 28
    ¼ cup honey
29. 29
    1 bunch ginger
30. 30
    4 cloves of garlic, minced
31. 31
    2 cups meat stock ( I recommend chicken)
32. 32
    3 tbsp sesame oil
33. 33
    ½ cup thinly diced scallions
34. 34
    Preheat your oven to 325 F. With a sharp knife or scissors, cut off the tips of the chicken wings.
35. 35
    Cut the wings in half, through the joint. Next, heat up your olive oil. This is where it gets tricky, you’re going to want to heat up your olive oil in not one pan but two. We are going to sear them in batches. Season the wings with your salt and pepper. Then, sear your wings for 30 to 60 seconds on each side until browned and remove from heat. In a medium bowl, stir your soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and vinegar. We want this mixture to be salty but not too salty! Next, arrange the wings in a pan and pour the soy sauce mixture over the wings. 
36. 36
    Add your stock and make sure you are completely coating them.
37. 37
    Sprinkle the scallions on top. Then, wrap the pan tightly in aluminum foil. Cook for about 2 ½ to 3 hours. You want to carefully peel back the foil and check on them every hour and give them a light stir. Make sure your pan isn’t drying out. And if it is, add a little more stalk. Reduce this all down and enjoy fall off the bone wings!

    Mustard Roasted Pork
43. 43
    While there are many recipes out there for pork roast, this one is by far the  most decadent. If you’re feeling fancy and have a little extra on your budget, this recipe is a must try. This mustard roasted pork will impress all your dinner guests while also still not breaking the bank. This recipe is a little more pricey than the others, approximately $4
44. 44
    Yet the flavors of the deep saltiness of the pork and the sharp tang of the mustard are well worth it. 
45. 45
    Ingredients
46. 46
    7 to 8 pound pork shoulder( note if you want this to be a little cheaper, buy a smaller pork shoulder)
47. 47
    1 pinch salt
48. 48
    ½ grainy mustard ( my favorite is Djon)
49. 49
    2 cups of a meat stock ( I prefer chicken)
50. 50
    ¼ cup maple syrup
51. 51
    2 tbsp flour
52. 52
    1 tbsp rosemary, chopped
53. 53
    Preheat your oven to 400F. Make sure you let your pork shoulder come up to room temperature. Next, place the pork skin side up on a roasting rack or baking dish. Smear your grainy mustard throughout the surface of the pork shoulder. Then, pour ¼ cup of stock to the bottom of the pan. We just want a thin layer to allow the pork to cook off of. Cook for 20 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350F and cook for 3 to 4 hours. Remember to check in on the shoulder every hour and flip it.
54. 54
    Add more stock if your dish is drying out. While it’s baking, take your remaining mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl. Once an hour, lightly brush the glaze on all sides of the pork. Continue until the glaze is a brown sticky texture and the internal temperature of the meat is between 165 F to 180F.
55. 55
    Serve and watch as your guests keep coming back for more.
