EAST LANSING, Mich. - CuisineWire -- Good food doesn't have to break the bank. That's the idea behind Mitten Eats 4 for $5 recipes that feed four people (or more) for around five dollars.

Mitten Eats is a website featuring a collection of affordable, seasonal recipes to support healthy eating. Inspired by Michigan grown fruits and vegetables, all recipes are curated by staff at Michigan Fitness Foundation.

All recipes on the website are compiled and reviewed by Michigan Fitness Foundation's team of registered dietitian nutritionists with the "4 for $5" recipe collection highlighting budget friendly, flavorful dishes featuring nutritious fruits and vegetables. Many can be made with pantry staples or groceries that home cooks already have on hand. Other recipes offer flexible ingredient options that make it easy to swap in what's on sale or in season.
