Welcome to Kitchn’s series A Week of Dinners, where we show you how our favorite cooks put dinner on the table.

My New Year’s resolution is to be a little more like Beth Moncel in 2019. She’s the mastermind behind Budget Bytes, a wildly popular blog-turned-Instagram-turned-app born out of an aim to bust the long-held myth that cooking on a budget means eating canned beans and ramen noodles every single night.

Beth’s dishes are flavorful, inventive, and colorful. Since she got her start in 2009, Beth has been teaching people how to eat delicious food made with a multitude of ingredients. Her trick? She analyzes the cost per amount of ingredient used for every single recipe she makes — a technique she learned while working at the prepared foods counter at Whole Foods. In fact, she calculates out price per recipe and price per serving so you know exactly how much you’re getting and what it’ll cost you (i.e., this vegan winter lentil stew will cost you $5.08 for the entire pot, and $0.64 cents per serving). Worth it? I think yes.

We got a chance to chat with Beth to find out what a week of dinners looks like for her, where she chooses to cut corners, and the one thing she likes to splurge on (when she lets herself!).

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
