Talk to me about food. What are your favorite meals that are cheap/easy/tasty/healthy? What's your go-to meal if you're broke and tired and just want something to eat, dammit ( Read more... )

I really like making stratas - they do take longer than no time, but you can prepare most of the stuff the night before in a pyrex glass serving dish and just pop it in the oven for however long it takes too cook. Plus, it freezes really well so you'll have no minute dinners later on if you pull it out of the freezer the night before and just warm it up in the microwave ( ... )

Also - pretty much anything with potatoes is going to be pretty cheap. You could also just try to steam veggies and saute in some browned butter and salt - it's always pretty good! I didn't used to like broccoli, but I'm a fan of it like that!

Oh yeah ! and leftover chicken - I like to make really fast quesadillas - you cut up a bunch of onion and heat in an oiled pan with cumin and coriander - add the leftover chicken and then just put it in tortillas with cheese on a sprayed baking sheet (spray the top a little bit too) on like 350 for like 10 minutes. They're really crunchy and delicioussss. Plus you can make a quick guac out of an avocado and onions and stuff while it's baking.

Thanks so much for all these ideas! I just went to the farmer's market today, so I'm excited to try some of these things!

I've been eating a lot of brown rice, with a little garlic salt and some melted cheese. As delicious as mac-and-cheese, but more nutritious.

I used to get bags of salad, mostly arugula/spinach/romaine type mixes, and then put a handful or two into a bean burrito. But now I'm pregnant with a baby who doesn't seem to like vegetables, but loves fruit, so I think we're still getting enough vitamins.
