Re: I need cheap meal ideas
Soup is always good....most of my concoctions start with a chicken stock, broth or boullion, cooked hamburger, veggies (I use alot of onion, celery and carrots), tomotoes (canned or fresh) tomatoe paste if you have some, toss in a couple handfulls of pasta, season to taste...(sometimes I add a can of beans- whatever is in the pantry) Sprinkle with parmesan (or not)....great the next day too.
I keep hearts of romaine lettuce and tomatoes...easy to cut up for salads...cut up leftover chicken and some ceasar dressing and you have a yummy chicken ceasar.
Take a whole chicken, put in crockpot...sprinkle with curry, salt and pepper....and let it cook all day...
Try Googling "Living on a Dime" and look for the Not Just Beans sample recipes. This site has some sample recipes for cheap meals...
Good Luck!
