Here's a webpages with ten recipes from Southern Living. The meals themselves are not so unusual, but are nice variations on some familiar entrees (including Nashville-Style Hot Catfish). They called them "low-cost dinners" but I don't think I'd go that far considering the ingredients of some of them.
