Whether you’re celebrating a refund or bracing for a bill, you deserve something that tastes great without costing a fortune. Here are 17 rewarding meals (like sesame-glazed tofu with broccoli) and just-the-spot-hitting desserts (including a few-minute mug cake) that don’t require a calculator or second mortgage.
