You two have any tips for a college kid looking for good stuff to cook? I cook for or with my girlfriend a lot and I'm always looking for simple and cheap ideas.
Here's some ideals you might not have thought of:Coffee- to save money on take out I brew a pot of coffee with about a tablespoon of cocoa powder on top of coffee grinds before I start brewing, I may also add a teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract to grinds before I start brewing, I use flavored creamer ( low fat )no sugar needed Have you ever....?Tried the chicken & Biscuits on side panel ( or back ) of bisquick box? very good and quickHow about a box of wild rice w left-over veggies and meat ( don't have to be leftovers )How about golash-cooked hamburger w/ chopped onion, 1-2 cans seasoned tomatoes, and cooked macaroni ?How about Shepherd's pie? Mashed potatoes, cooked hamburg w/ cooked onion, 1-2 cans of corn, bake in oven 350 for about 20-25 minutes? ( can add fresh garlic to water boiling potatoes and can add a jar of low fat gravy or package of gravy on top of layers before oven )baked home fries, seasoned before the oven on greased pan ?A whole chicken can make two meals Soup? Home made not hard can last at least two mealsstart with base of can or/ package chicken stock , 1-2 cans of seasoned tomatoes, maybe,wild rice, or cooked macaroni or other pasta, leftover veggies or steam some veggies, left over meat such a chicken, hamburg, seasona bottle of good tasting hot sauce, but you know that SwampFox, LOLNote: I use 1 large or 3-4 cans of chicken stock and a package of dried chicken stock w/ water-more flavor ( you could use soup bone instead of the chicken stock )
