You might recall that 2024 was the year of the Meal Deal. Practically every restaurant, from McDonald's to Burger King, released a $5 deal that scored you a sandwich entrée, chicken nuggets, fries, and drink for just five bucks.

Negotiating dinners with the family can be a frustrating conversation. Seal the deal by shaking up the norm with these incredibly different dinner recipes. Each selected for handcrafted flavors that often go overlooked when grocery shopping.
