A great way to stretch your food dollar is to roast a chicken and then strip off all the meat, saving some for sandwiches the next day. This one has a tasty marinade that pairs well with Chinese vegetables, with a little added zing from wasabi mayo. You can also use chicken breast halves instead of a whole chicken, if you wish.

Adding an Asian flare to a burger is an easy way to add lots of light crisp flavours without lots of fat. A simple slaw like our Ginger Aoili one comes together in minutes, and is a fun way to get kids helping in the kitchen. To add an extra Asian flair, look for crusty rolls with sesame seeds. Make preparation even easier by purchasing pre-shredded slaws from your local supermarket.

Creating a gourmet burger at home is easier than you think. All you need to do is think outside the box and pick toppings that you would not normally expect. Rapini is a terrific and healthy topping that gives burgers a rustic Italian edge.

Why pay for a sub-par sandwich at a fast food chain when you can make a better version at home? Grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, and juicy tomatoes make a delectable wrap. Try homemade tortillas instead of pita bread for a change of pace.
