Jun. 9th, 2010 12:31 amTalk 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?!
Things I've been enjoying lately include what I call the American version of the bean and cheese burrito: dump some canned baked beans on a plate, shred a little cheddar into it, throw it in the microwave, and then eat it on bread or toast! If you add an apple or some carrots to your meal and eat it with a glass of milk, you've got a solid, filling meal in literally five minutes.
Also, I'm guessing they were probably on sale, but I picked up a bunch of Archer Farms couscous in a box dealies for about 2 bucks each, and they also are surprisingly good for out of the box. You just dump the whole box into boiling water (and oil, but I don't have any oil, hah, so I use butter, and it's just fine) take it off the stove and cover it for five minutes and voila, hot and ready couscous! 1 box equals dinner and leftovers for lunch, so not a bad deal! I also eat this with bread because I love carbs more than anything, and a side fruit or veg (generally, apples, carrots, grapes, or a banana).
I want to work on getting more green vegetables into my diet. Any suggestions?
