Healthy, Cheap Student Recipes

[tdunks]

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for those of us looking to eat healthy on a budget.

 

So who has found some good recipes?

Buy a gigantic bag of spiral noodles and a tin of pasta sauce. Lasts for ever, and great for lunches.

I have a recipe blog!

 

http://glutenfreewolf.blogspot.com (Yes, I know it's pretty easy to figure out who I am from that, but it's also probably pretty easy to figure out who I am if you've read more than about 5 of my posts.)

If you go to Chapters/Indigo, you can find quite a few cookbooks geared towards students and people living alone - with less complex recipes, cheaper ingredients, and smaller portions. And then you can leaf through them, pick a book you like, and go buy a cheap used one on Amazon because you're a smart shopper.

Meatloaf, turkey loaf, chicken loaf with mashed is cheap and can be made in bulk, portioned and frozen (minus the mash part).

 

Ground beef and jasmine rice (again, can be made in bulk and frozen minus the rice)

 

Tuna on bagels

 

Eggs

 

Pasta with meat sauce (sauce can be made in bulk, portioned and frozen).

 

All that is cheap and can be made ahead of time. Would require like one half day of cooking to feed yourself for a month.

Or sign it out from the library!

I LOVE this website, and even my family members who aren't on Weight Watchers love the food:

Many of the recipes are for 4+ portions, but it is very easy to simply half most of them, and then freeze the second portion for a quick and easy mid-week dinner.

I love this site: http://www.soscuisine.com/. You can tailor everything (region, type of plan - and they have many, etc.) to your liking and every week you get your meal plan by email

 

You can also (amongst other things) browse tons of recipes, see what's on special and prepare a pdf list of the things you need to buy at the grocery store if ever you what to make a recipe or a list for your weekly meal plan.
