Looking for cheap healthy recipes ideas?




Bridgette


I'm a sophmore college student living on my own, and between paying off student loans, car insurance, rent and everything else, there isn't much left over to buy healthy meals, and so unfortunately I buy whats cheap. Ramen noodles, macaroni and cheese, etc. The lifestyle has gotten to me a little bit as far as weight goes, and so I joined a gym yesterday ($10 a month) But I know it won't get better unless I eat better foods along with working out. Also, I can't really cook to save my life, so the more simplistic it is, the better. I'm open to most every kind of food, except seafood, I know fish is good for you..But its something about the smell.
Any ideas, would be and are much appreciated. Thank You!!



Answer
Honestly, learning to use your kitchen is best. But, understand if you just learn the basics of say: soup, salad, and sandwiches -- you're going to have THOUSANDS of quick, cheap, and easy meals on hand.

Soup. By far soup, even homemade, is cheap cheap cheap 5 bucks = 1 pot

Sandwiches too: go ahead and get the good bread/ meats/ cheese/ fixings -- because in the end they'll give you more nutrition and pleasure at a reasonable cost

Rotisserie chicken. Buy and shred: make tacos, make sandwiches, use over salads

Healthy winter foods?

It's now cold out and fruit doesn't exactly taste "in season". I like eating healthy so the chocolate snacks of winter don't exactly agree with me. Anyone have any healthy winter snack ideas? Recipes are welcome too.


Answer
Vegetable soup (light on the pasta) is always a healthy comfort food for cold days.

Warm bowl of Oatmeal with some raisins, or other dried or fresh fruit.
Peanutbutter with celery / carrots
Baked apples
Baked Sweet Potato with cinnamon (yum)
Hot sandwich with whole grain bread, lean meat, veggies.
