The cost of eating has skyrocketed. But we gotta do it…so how about some all-time favorite Indiana recipes. If you’re gonna spend the money, make it yummy!

Hotschedules, a company into restaurant and hospitality software, did a study that gave us a peek into how Americans eat. Turns out, dining out was a big thing, with a whopping 56% of folks eating out or getting takeout two to three times a week. No surprise, really, since there are over a million restaurants across the US.

But times have taken a turn, and groceries are getting pricier, especially with inflation doing its thing. With tighter budgets and things costing more, many are cooking at home. Suddenly, the kitchen is like a stage for our culinary adventures, where we cook up more than just meals – we cook up creativity. Plus, we’re trying to make that dollar stretch!

Allrecipes has a huge collection of over 3,000 recipes from every state. Stacker – the folks who round up cool stuff – went through Allrecipes’ stash and picked out Indiana’s favorites.
